Content Marketing Media Plan

Content Marketing Media

By Darren Tunstall

Darren Tunstall I am a #1 Bestseller on Amazon for my book on Social Media, Real Estate Sales, and Web 2.0. In months, I generated approximately $5 million dollars in closed real estate transactions.

I did this through blogging and social media. I can help you do the same regardless of the industry.

The Bottom Line

!   If Google (or other search engines) can’t find you, neither will anyone else.

Content Marketing Media Plan

!   I created the content marketing media plan because there many people who want to do business online, but they don’t because of two reasons:

1.  They don’t know how.

2.  They are overwhelmed with the Internet, especially social media sites.

Organized and Useful

!   I’ve come to the conclusion that the Internet really hasn’t changed much. We just have better graphics now.

!   Search engines want information that is organized and useful so that end-users can enjoy it.

!   Search engines will index pages and you will get found. Like anything, you just need to do a little upfront work.

My Goal

!   It is my goal to help you build an online presence and distribute your brand without spending tons of money on advertising.

Purpose of A Media Schedule

!   A content marketing media schedule is important to your business. There are three things to include:

!   Frequency of Distribution

!  Social Media Channels

!  Categories and Sub-categories

Frequency of Distribution

!   Blog frequency impacts customer acquisition.

!   The frequency of distribution is how often you distribute content to your network. There are three levels of frequency:

!  Conservative

!  Moderate

!  Aggressive

Conservative Frequency of Distribution !   A conservative frequency of distribution means that you

will plan to slowly and consistently release content on the web with minimal online presence. For example,

!   1 Article Per Week

!   1 Excerpt Article After Every 5 Articles

!   2 Blog Comments Per Week

!   1 Video Per Week

!   1 Press Release Per Month

!   1 Newsletter Per Month

Moderate Frequency of Distribution !   A moderate frequency of distribution means that you will plan

to satisfactorily and consistently release content on the web with an average online presence. For example,

!   3 Article Week

!   1 Excerpt Article Every 5 Articles (Approx. 2.4)



!   1 Press Release Per Month


!   1 Excerpt Presentation Per Each Excerpt Article (Approx. 2.4)

Aggressive Frequency of Distribution !   Aggressive frequency of distribution means that you will plan to

consistently release content on the web with an above average online presence. For example,

!   5 Article Week

!   1 Excerpt Article Every 5 Articles (Approx. 4)



!   1 Press Release Per Week (Approx. 4 month)


!   1 Excerpt Presentation Per Each Excerpt Article (approx. 4)

!   1 Webinar Per Month

Social Media Channels

!   The social media channels is where you will distribute your content online. For example, in your social network, you might have the following blog and social media sites setup:

!   Blog

!   Twitter

!   LinkedIn

!   Facebook

!   Etc.

Social Media Network

Blog

Twitter

Facebook LinkedIn

If your social media channels are setup appropriately then everything

will start from your blog.

After publishing an article or blog post, the content will then

automatically distribute to your social network.

Setup your social network prior to releasing content online. This will

allow you to effectively distribute to your audience for maximum results.

Categories and Sub-categories !   It’s critical to choose a category and sub-category

that your articles will be based because you might want to upload your content to article directories. By choosing a category, you are doing the following:

!   Defining what your article will be about

!   Helping end-users search for your content

!   Organizing content in your blog by category making it searchable

!   Making your content ready for article directory submission.

Creating The Media Plan This is where you create the actual content marketing media plan. The plan includes 6 headings:

!  Week

!  Media channel

!  Category

!  Sub-category

!  Content type

!  Title

Before getting started, know the niche, or target marketing that you want to attract. Let’s do an example on horse training.

Example – Horse Training

Pretend you’re offering horse training services where you teach horses tricks or mannerisms. You want to release a conservative content marketing media plan so people can learn a little about training a horse (i.e. tips, tricks, how-to, etc.). Consider the following:

1.  Industry. It’s considered business because it’s a service.

2.  What is the category: sub-categories? Think about how the content will be published in the article directories. Be consistent with them. In this case, you can use Pets: Horses, and Recreation and Sports: Equestrian.

3.  What type of content is it? Article, blog comment, video, press release, presentation, newsletter, etc.

Add the information to an 8-week schedule in a spreadsheet.

8-week CMM Schedule for Horse

Training As you can see from the schedule, everything is arranged by week, media channel, category, sub category, content type, and title. The most important of these is the title. Almost all the content types are based on the article titles.

For example, notice in week 2, the video briefly discusses the article from week 1. And, in week 5, after five articles have been written, you write and excerpt article that summarizes the 5 previous articles. In addition, you create an excerpt presentation. This method allows the content to create mind share while being fresh on a rotating base.

Blog commenting is a more proactive approach on the web. Instead of waiting for your target market to find you, you find them first.

Add The CMM Schedule To A

Calendar The next step is to transcribe the content marketing media schedule to a calendar. This will organize the task to complete each day, week, month, and year. The calendar to the right displays an 8-week conservative plan. In this plan, we decided to do the following:

•  M: Write 1 Article

•  T: Video

•  W: Excerpt Article/Present. After 5

•  Last TH: Press Release

•  Last F: Send Newsletter

•  MWF: Comment on Blogs

By organizing on the schedule first, it’s easier to apply to the calendar. Thus, a well thought-out content marketing media plan. This will keep you on track and working consistently.
