 Learn where to invest and pitfalls to avoid when crafting your 2022 marketing plan. Lisa Beets, Research Director for the Content Marketing Institute (CMI), conducts seven primary research studies annually, and one of her favorite focuses in manufacturing. This is in part to her days with Penton Media focused in HVAC, but also recognizing the need for data in this unique industry. During the episode, Lisa walks me through CMI's Manufacturing Marketing report and we discuss several datapoints that jumped out to us both, such as:51% are challenged by overcoming a traditional sales and marketing mindset51% struggle with creating valuable content as opposed to sales-oriented content75% were asked to do more with the same resources in 202165% expect their 2022 content marketing budget to increase over 2021Marketers cited videos produced the best results for content marketing, with 53% citing how-to videos as the leading formatWhen it comes to organic social platforms, LinkedIn came out on top as both the most popular at 93% and best at producing results.Facebook was the top paid social platform used at 76%, though LinkedIn produced the best results beating out Facebook by 8%The top ways to measure content performance were web-centric, including 73% citing website traffic and 69% citing website engagementWe concluded that there was a close synergy between the CMI Manufacturing Marketing Report and the TREW Marketing & Global Spec State of Marketing to Engineers report, and that both are helpful for marketers to educate and advocate for content marketing with internal leadership.

In the late 1990s Richard Bowsher co-founded the conference company, StreamMedia.com which pioneered the nascent space devoted to the delivery of audio and video over this new thing called the Internet. He sold that thriving company to NYSE publisher Penton Media. In 2007, Richard founded Klipopmekaar and started farming rooibos tea high in the Northern Cederberg mountains of his native South Africa. The only things standing on the farmland when Richard began were an old bus and a ram-shackle camp site. Today, along with being a thriving, productive and happy place, Klipopmekaar is one of the largest organic rooibos farms in the world. In addition to supplying premium tea brands direct, Richard Co-founded BOS Ice Tea in 2009 which is now the world's leading Rooibos ice tea brand with regional head offices worldwide. Between Klipopmekaar, BOS Ice Tea, and their suppliers, hundreds of jobs have been created in the South African economy and beyond.

Watch the video podcast here. A Bit About Joe Joe Pulizzi is a content marketing evangelist, speaker, author and founder of Content Marketing Institute which is the leading content marketing educational resource for enterprise level brands. He writes one of the most influential content marketing blogs in the world, and also writes for Entrepreneur.com and LinkedIn. Tune in at the 5-minute mark to find out more about Joe’s background. Stepping Away from Working with "the Man" Joe spent time cutting his teeth in the marketing industry at Penton Media, the largest independent business publisher in North America. While there, he ran the content marketing group and spent a lot of time working with customers who didn’t want to go the traditional advertising route for their businesses and so he decided to go out on his own. Joe put together a 40-page strategic business plan by researching and approaching mentors who were business owners.  However, once he started his company, he never looked at it again! What he learned from this: Write down your goals and review them almost every day What are your business goals, family goals and spiritual goals? Check that you are on target Ask yourself "is what I am going to do today going to help accomplish these goals on time?" The act of writing it down and making it real is important. As far as a business plan goes, perhaps that isn’t as important! Own Your Category and Be the Leading Expert Dan Kennedy once said, “If you want to own a category, the best thing you can do is to invent that category”, and that is exactly what Joe did. The term "Content Marketing" used to be called "Custom Publishing" or "Custom Media" when Joe started out in 2000, but nobody was interested or liked those titles. He knew he had to use another term especially to sell the idea to marketers who needed to know that the term was actually relevant to them. Joe isn’t sure if he coined the term “Content Marketing” but he definitely was the one who got the term out there. His advice is that if there is some ambiguity around the thing that you’re doing, it's completely ok to say “this is what we are calling it now”. Hubspot did the same thing with the term “inbound marketing”. Differentiate Another important piece of advice he has is to make sure you are differentiating yourself by telling a different story than everyone else. If you are in an industry with a lot of other competitors (hello WordPress consultants!), how are you different from the next guy? What’s your story? A lot of people find their story by niching down to a smaller audience. It’s counterintuitive, but you’ll build authority much faster that way. The goal is to build an audience, they will then trust you which will increase sales but it won’t happen immediately, it takes time. The Business Model and Sponsorship 50% of the Content Marketing Institute's focus is actually the event that they run "Content Marketing World" which they hold all over the world. The webinars, consulting and training are the things that lead to the events. With their events, 70% of their revenue comes from registration and 30% from sponsorship. In order for events to work you need the ecosystem of the leaners and the tech providers to be there. You are helping the sponsors too, as you have built the audience and you have the ability to put that company in front of that audience. Creating Valuable Content Every bit of content you put out needs to be valuable. If you’re selling something in the blog, it isn’t going to be successful. You need to own your own audience by having an email list. If you build your audience on social media, you don’t own that, and it can be taken away from you at any stage if they make changes. Email subscription is at the top of the hierarchy here. Wise Words on Finding Your Niche Find the sweet spot between some skill area that you have and your passion point. Content Tilt. You have to move that area in such a way that it positions you to be telling a different story. This way you won’t get lost within the millions of others who are blogging about it. Go smaller. Market to the little audience and then you can still take on other work if it comes your way. Build the base audience and then monetise the base. Position yourself as the leading expert in some informational niche and build an audience. Be the leading expert in something. Go small. Market to a small audience, build your base, then you can charge whatever you want. It takes about 18 months if you do it right. Set proper expectations with a client and put those into the agreement. Get referrals by giving your customers something to talk about. To differentiate yourself, tell a different story than anyone else, especially if you have a lot of competitors. There is so much more to this episode with Joe so don’t miss it! Be sure to tune in to hear all the incredible insights and wisdom Joe shares.

Back in 2007, unaware of the incoming economic recession, Joe Pulizzi left his successful career with Penton Media to embark on a journey of entrepreneurship. Joe had no product to sell, but with the help of inspiring messages from authors like Stephen Covey and Napoleon Hill, he wrote out his goals and began developing an audience. Every day Joe blogged, and after a few years he managed to compile a database of over 10,000 email subscribers. It was only then that he decided to develop products and services to sell to his trusting followers. There are many lessons to take from this, but the number one is that if you build an audience and become their trusted source of information, you can establish a successful business based on that audience’s needs. Joe outlines much of this in his bestselling book, “Content Inc.”, one of the topics in this episode of AQ’s Blog & Grill. Alan and Joe break down many aspects of a stellar content marketing strategy, debate the future of content marketing, and Joe shares his inspirations for writing Content Inc.

Joe has built his business, the Content Marketing Institute, from a small, daily content-focused blog to a world-leading media company that publishes an ongoing magazine and hosts the largest content marketing event in the world.
