Creating super shareable, engaging content is a fantastic way to get your brand seen by lots of new people very quickly. There’s one type of content that does this perfectly and has taken social media by viral storm…That’s right – memes.Now, I know you’re thinking, “memes don’t suit my brand’s voice!” and I totally get it! I was apprehensive at first too, but then I realized that there are so many big brands that are making memes work for them.Disney, Netflix, and Denny’s have all used memes to stand out in their industries. Plus, their audience LOVE them. You don’t have to be a big brand and you don’t have to aim for viral posts that reach millions (it’s about the right audience, not volume). I think that memes present a fantastic way to connect with your existing audience. They have great potential to grow your following, and you can even use them to repurpose your content!In this episode, I explain how to create and share memes that your audience will really enjoy and the dos and don’ts to ensure that your memes enhance your brand’s visibility – not harm it.Listen in to find out:How memes can help you stand out in your industryWhy memes are so shareable and why you should include them in your content strategy8 dos and don’ts for creating and sharing appropriate memes for your brandImportant Links & MentionsMeme-CreatorImgurimgflipHow To Repurpose Content Using GIFs with Andrew & PeteMy book: Content 10x: More Content, Less Time, Maximum ResultsNeed some meme-spiration?

Do you create content to grow your business or to grow your competitors' businesses? It might sound outrageous… but if you don’t create a content strategy to help your audience convert with your business, you might be sending potential customers straight into the arms of your competitors. Your content might be great at raising awareness, but it might not be so good at getting those potential customers to convert. If your competitors have a better, clearer content strategy, then your audience will take action…. just not with you!Your content should help people become your clients, not help them become someone else’s. A good content strategy prevents your leads from going elsewhere.

Do you want your content to attract as many people as possible to want to work with you?You may be thinking, “yes, that sounds perfect!”But your answer should be, “no.”Why? Because you don’t want to attract every Tom, Dick, and Harry off the street!

“What is the one best type of content to repurpose?”I get asked that a lot whenever I do Q&As or podcast interviews, or just generally when I enter into a discussion about content repurposing. The truth is, every type of content has its merits and there are so many ways to repurpose. Plus, like many things in life, what is “best” for one person/business is not necessarily “best” for someone else.There isn’t a “best” type of content for repurposing – repurposing can be very effective regardless of the type of content you’re working with…it’s more about your strategy and approach. Nonetheless, I do still have an answer to the question too!In this week's episode of The Content 10x Podcast find out about:What I believe the best type of content is for repurposingThe four things I think matter more than the type of content you repurposeHow to decide what the best type of content is for you and your audienceImportant Links & Mentions:My book: Content 10x: More Content, Less Time, Maximum ResultsOur LinkedIn 10x serviceTo read the blog post, click here.

I talk about so many things related to content marketing in this podcast, I can’t quite believe I have never recorded an episode that focuses on influencer marketing…I think that has something to do with the associations many of us have with the word ‘influencer’.The thing is, influencer marketing gets a bad rap, and there are few people who understand this world better than Neal Schaffer.

Paid traffic is a great investment if you’re looking to build awareness, reach new people, and make some sales… but people often make a critical mistake when they start to invest in paid traffic.Without a coordinated investment in content, you risk not making an impact on the vast majority of people your ad is served to.We’re not machines – we do our due diligence and need social proof before we do anything an ad tells us to.

Social media has so many positives. But one thing that’s true across almost every platform is that the content we work hard to create doesn’t last very long.That’s why content repurposing is so important – because it gives the content you create a longer shelf life – but there are other ways you can showcase your highlights and best moments using features on the platforms themselves.Every platform is different, but they all have features you can use to highlight content you’ve created and add value to your profile.In this episode of the podcast, I break down how four of the major social platforms let you highlight your content.
