John Jantsch is a marketing consultant, speaker and author of Duct Tape Marketing, Duct Tape Selling, The Commitment Engine and The Referral Engine, and also the founder of the Duct Tape Marketing Consultant Network. Think of Marketing as Value (Like a Product) Instead of thinking of marketing as something you do for or with your prospective buyer, consider it to be value that is baked into your products and services. Marketing content is the voice that conveys your core message to ideal customers. It guides their experience with your business, holding their attention and earning trust along the way. And that content inspired journey continues long after a purchase is made.

Jerod Morris is VP of Marketing for Rainmaker Digital. Jerod manages the ongoing education at Digital Commerce Institute, which is hosted on the Rainmaker platform. He also hosts The Showrunner, The Digital Entrepreneur, and Assembly Call podcast shows. Trust the Fundamentals of Engagement Early in his career, Jerod Morris found himself selling a product door-to-door. Those one-to-one selling experiences are great teachers. According to Jerod, "You learn to listen, ask a question, and patiently watch and observe to then intelligently respond." The fundamentals of engagement work equally well online if you adopt an 'audience of one' mindset. Jerod says, "The only sure way to build audience engagement is to create something that elicits the response, this is for me." Listen to the audio to get the full story about Assembly Call, The Showrunner and more. These targeted shows prove the secret to audience engagement is creating content that is so narrowly focused, it attracts its ideal audience like magic.

Frank Kenny has twice been a guest on the show. This week he graciously interviews me to discover and share the top takeaways from Social Media Marketing World 2016, which was hosted in San Diego, CA last week. Now that Social Media Marketing World has grown to over 3,000 attendees from around the world, one might imagine it would be difficult to get results. However, with over 200 volunteers, hundreds of educational sessions, and many networking opportunities, just a little planning made it possible for me to accomplish my objectives. The key was having a strategy and following it. And that is also my top takeaway from the event. Content strategy isn't sexy, but it is indeed what everyone was talking about at this event. Listen to the audio as Frank and I discuss ideas from dozens of presenters, including one strategy everyone can implement: Taking the 3% Challenge.

How to Reach out To Journalists You can find journalists on Twitter or LinkedIn, but one of the best ways is to simply Google a topic or category to find journalists that are writing on topics relevant to your expertise. Your pitch to them should be short, but more important, it must be personal or it will get quickly deleted. It just takes a little bit of research to do this right. When you contact a journalist, mention you noticed he or she has written about a topic relevant to your expertise, and cite the source. Then simply share a few thoughts that build upon the subject matter, potentially for creating a follow-up piece. Listen to the audio to learn her recommendations for discovering the publications and media outlets that are right for you, and how to use analytics to best allocate your resources. You can connect with Gini and learn more about her work at SpinSucks.com Show Notes For detailed show notes and relevant links, go to Small Business PR: How to Build Relationships with Journalists
