Hello from Portland, Oregon. Welcome to another episode of B2B Marketing & More. Today, my guest is Amanda Milligan. Amanda is Marketing Director at Fractl, a marketing agency that helps brands build high-quality backlinks and brand authority through content marketing. Amanda is also a host of Fractl's Cashing in on Content Marketing podcast, and Head of Marketing at Stacker. Today we talk about content marketing and brand authority through earned media coverage. In this episode: What is earned media, and why should B2B brands care about earned media coverage? What makes publishers care about non paid content, and what makes them pick up the specific article and give it earned media coverage? How can B2B brands approach writers and pitch the idea of the content that could be beneficial for both sides? What is Tangential content, and what makes it different from usual content? What is the role of data focus on decision making and creating the perfect pitch? Fund Rocket Case Study: The complete process What are the benefits of earned media coverage? How to utilize visual assets to boost results? What are the best practices in pitching and promoting content for earner media efforts? What is the role of personalization and automation for a successful earned media coverage? How can small businesses utilize earned media efforts and stay on the budget? Quotes from the episode: "There are a lot of tools you can use to find writers. You can use tools to help you, and some will give you templates. But we are all about personalization. Even if you're sending the same project to multiple people, you're leading into it differently based on who they are." "Subscribe to everything that writer does, follow them on social, get a sense of their beat, and ask yourself how you can contribute to that. How can you contribute to those conversations? Offer something different and have those writers in mind that you're going to customize something for." ————— If you want to chat, reach out to any social media channels or email me at hello@pamdidner.com.

Amanda Milligan joins the podcast to share why trying to go viral with your marketing can actually hurt your business goals: * Why viral marketing doesn't work anymore * What caused the demise of viral marketing * What you should be doing instead of trying to go viral Viral marketing used to be a cornerstone of the digital space. However, despite it being obvious that viral marketing is not what it was, clients will still ask to "go viral." Looking to go viral is a really unhealthy marketing strategy. It's more than ineffective, actively seeking to go viral can be detrimental to your brand presence overall. In this episode Amanda goes through why looking to go viral is unhealthy and what your brand should be doing instead.
On Episode 94, Amanda Milligan shared how she approaches putting together her strategy for content marketing agency Fractl. She highlights her commitment to working with the sales team, evaluating lead quality, and how she prioritizes her marketing efforts.

4 Content Marketing Mistakes That Will Wreck Your ROIHere’s what we know: content marketing is a massively effective method of increasing ROI and overall customer engagement.Also: content marketing is not as easy as whipping up some content and tossing it into the oven of the Internet. Careful consideration and strategy is required, and sometimes, even with the best intentions, major mistakes can be made right from the get-go.So let me ask? Are you happy with your content marketing results? If not you may be making crucial mistakes!(If you're feeling generally unsatisfied with more than just your marketing results, you may find our FREE, 4-week mini course on the pillars of the authentic self to be invaluable!)Recently I sat down with super brain Amanda Milligan at Fractl (an online marketing agency specializing in engaging and emotional web content on the web). Here’s her advice:Mistake #1: Content That’s Too BrandedContent that looks like a traditional ad will be responded to like a traditional ad — like you’re just trying to sell and not engage. If your content is presented in a more natural, organic way, people will be more likely to receive it well and not merely consider it an endorsement of your company’s credo.Fast Fix: Form ideas around the overall values and objectives of your company, not the brand itself. For example, if you’re a car insurance company, create content about safe driving, not about how to find the best insurance out there.Place your logo on content once in a noticeable but not eye-catching area. The bottom of an infographic or a single link in an article work well.Use subtle methods of incorporating branding, like fonts or colors, that don’t immediately call attention to the company but are reminiscent of the brand.Mistake #2: Not Getting Your Audience InvolvedIf you’re using outdated approaches to content creation, like anticipating the communication stream only going one-way, you’re in for sub-par results. Consider every content strategy to be a conversation, and be sure to facilitate that back-and-forth. It’ll open doors for new customers.Fast Fix:Comments and other means of feedback can allow your potential customers to interact with your content and thus feel more connected to it. Create channels to facilitate the building of relationships, either through comments or social media.Craft content that’s interactive — allow the audience to click, explore, and participate. You can do this with interactive graphics, quizzes, maps, and other multimedia.Listen to what your audience is saying. They could be telling you exactly what they want to see and learn, but if you’re not paying attention, you’re missing countless valuable opportunities.Mistake #3: Conveying Facts But Missing EmotionContent isn’t all about teaching and informing; it’s about connecting and experiencing. All you have to do is tap into humanity. Tap into what brings us together in real life — the emotions that ignite empathy — and you’ll have content that’s both memorable and impactful.Fast Fix:Don’t think of content as an article or instructographic — think of it as a story. Ask yourself: What does this information actually mean to the person reading it, and how can I illustrate this? That’s when the story comes in.Read your own content. Write down three words about how it made you feel, being as specific as possible. If none of these words are an emotion or they’re too vague (and are instead “informative” and “interesting” rather than say “surprising” and “inspiring,”) start from scratch.Consider incorporating the emotions that often lead to virality in order to give your content an edge right from the beginning.Mistake #4: Overthinking Content And Missing ContextSure, content can speak for itself. But think about it this way: You can write an incredible book and leave free copies all over town, but virtually no one will read it. Why? With so much content available, everything is about curation, meaning getting your content published in the right place can mean everything.Fast Fix:Don’t just think about what sites get the most views — make sure to carefully consider where your potential customers are and target the sites they visit.Create a team of media relations specialists who can build relationships with publishers. This team should be at least equal in size to your content development team.Study how to send out pitch emails. Make sure the headline is eye-catching and to-the-point, and make sure the body of the email succinctly explains:What the content is aboutWhy you’re pitching it to this publisherWhy the audience will enjoy itIf you’re making any of the above mistakes, now is the time to improve your process. Once you’ve identified your pain points and you’re creating the right content in the right place for the right audience, you’ll see big changes in your ROI.How is your content strategy working?------Resources Mentioned:Culture Camp: https://www.smarttribesinstitute.com/culture-camp/FREE mini-course: https://smarttribesinstitute.com/byb-minicourse/Beyond Your Brain: https://www.smarttribesinstitute.com/stiretreat/Content Marketing: http://www.forbes.com/sites/christinecomaford/2012/03/19/double-your-sales-and-trump-your-competitors/Increasing RIO: https://www.custedge.com/why-our-brains-buy-and-how-to-convert-prospective-customers-into-loyal-advocates/Amanda Milligan: http://www.linkedin.com/in/amandamilliganEmotions & Virility: http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/10/research-the-emotions-that-make-marketing-campaigns-go-viral/Contact Christine: https://smarttribesinstitute.com/contact/Strategy Session: https://smarttribesinstitute.com/strategy-session/You’re busy growing.
