Why Content Gets Shared: Content Marketing Social Mentions Study

Why Content Gets Shared: Content Marketing Social Mentions Study | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
From martinmartysmith.com - July 12, 2013 6:36 AM
Content Marketing 101 "Wow you create a lot of content," a friend said at lunch yesterday. I felt the need to apologize (again). "I love Internet marketing,
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Why Content Gets Shared
Turns out our gut instincts about content marketing are correct. The TOOLS we use and the content we curate and create make a difference in the amount and velocity of our social shares.

Tools such as Scoop.it and your blog are indispensible say the results from a 30 day in depth view of @ScentTrail mentions on Topsy. Type of content also matters.

Infographics, SEO and my trusty ScentTrail Daily Paper.li generate the most mentions. Friends also matter.

#4 on the mentions list is group tweets from friends with thanks or best wishes for the weekend. Staying connected and sharing are critical to successful content marketing.

Interesting bottom line is a confirmation of what all content marketers know to be true. Confirmation of the fact that content gets shared is in the numbers. I don't curate or create 30 pieces of content a day (well not on most days lol) and I've certainly NEVER created 66 (most mentions in a single day in this study.

These numbers confirm what we know - content gets shared and explains what types of content is most likely to generate shares and what tools to use to promote shares.

Marty thanks for sharing this study. In the world of online social sharing we need to rethink of the role as content providers. 


My thoughts on how old content media producers need to evolve.


Interesting to see how newspapers, tv and radio are starting to figure out the "value added" model of internet marketing.  People will pay for digital content, and the great thing for the publishers is the low cost of distribution. Online marketers have done it for years using micro websites with targeted content and now apps. I don't see why a newspapers,etc. should be any different.

 

The way I see it is the newspaper and their website should be the teaser to the value added content. Right now it's like they tell the story and move on, then cry the blues, no one will pay us for our content. Now if they extended the content or partnered with someone (eg health or fitness) for value added content people would pay. 

 

The newspapers, tv, etc, need to become the advertiser of the content, instead of depending on advertisers to support the media.


They have a reader base that many bloggers would love to have, but they need to rethink the connections they make with the reader.

Great analysis by Brian. I go even a step further in Saving The News&Observer http://sco.lt/4rBAOH and suggest that newspapers become part of their own rehabilitation by embracing the CROWD in real time by throwing off their "we are here to guide you" ethos. The editorial-centric model is over. Brian's idea about promotion-centric is a good one, but I want more. I want these organization deep in the weeds on things so WEB marketing they can't NOT understand how DIFFERENT life is and will always be from that magic time when a newspaper could take down a President, we could only watch 4 TV channels and exciting programming was a show about a boy named Beaver :).

Content Marketing is beyond the tipping point and that is both the good and bad news. Good news if you are trying to sell the concept of content marketing. Bad news if you are behind (and you are always behind someone in Internet markting). The key to success is DISRUPTION, finding ways to bend, manipulate and change content marketing so you do it just a little better.This post discusses how to become a disruptive content marketer.

5 Tips To Safely Add Fun To Your Marketing ScentTrail Marketing | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
From scenttrail.blogspot.com - April 23, 2013 6:02 PM

Why "Fun" Marketing Is TOUGH


Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

After reviewing http://www.thefuntheory.com/ and not having much fun it struck how hard creating "fun marketing" is. In this piece for ScentTrail Marketing I compare creating "fun marketing" to developing viral marketing. 

Turns out FUN is as elusive as viral. Here are my 5 Tips to Safely Create Fun Marketing: 

1. Create Personas.
2. Test, Test, Test.
3. Don't Try To Go "Viral".
4. Find FUN Out There. 
5. Have Some Fun Yourself. 

 

Use these tips and remember to have some fun since it is impossible to LIE for any amount of time in Internet marketing. The math and truth always wins.
