Popular Sites that May Work for Your Content Marketing Strategy
March 23, 2010
Content Marketing was described as the buzzword of 2009. I would argue that is still very buzzworthy as we make it through the beginning of 2010.
Since OpenView Venture Partners invited Joe Pulizzi, Jonathan Kranz, Andrew Davis, Mike Volpe, Chris Baggott, and Christine Perkett to speak at our Content Marketing Workshop last fall, many of our portfolio companies have been executing various strategies and requiring operational support.
Once you have a set of goals and a strategy in place, it is time to begin marketing your content via the Internet. (If you do not have a strategy in place yet, read this post to help you get started).
