You’ve put hours into planning and creating your latest blog article or eBook. And, now, you’ve looked at the metrics and noticed that the content piece has not only struggled to prompt conversions, but it's barely attracted any visitors.
If you’ve found yourself in this position recently, you’re in the right place. While there is an increasing awareness of the need to plan and create content, a well-thought-out content promotion strategy is the true difference maker that helps you stand out from the crowd.
The following four eBooks take a comprehensive approach to content promotion, by offering advice on how to combined owned, paid and earned media tactics to help your content reach your ideal prospects.

Pollitt takes a critical look at relying solely on owned media (i.e. social and email promotion), and provides evidence for why this content promotion tactic alone is ineffective. Instead, he believes a combination of all three content promotion tactics—owned, paid and earned media—is the key to content marketing success.

This eBook can help you take steps to reach the end goal of creating synergy between owned, paid and earned media channels.
