The Host’s Perspective:
Okay, here’s the problem that this book will help you solve.
The landrush of publishing content on the Internet is over. One could argue that there was a brief “build it and they will come” era as it related to simply hitting the publish button and having the search engines deliver your content to lots of the right people. Those are already the good old days.
In a short period of time, content marketing has gone from a content land rush to a content arms race. This concept was introduced in Mark Schaefer’s blog in 2014 where he coined the term “Content Shock.”
To get found now, Companies still have to publish epic content, but they also have to ignite it. In the Content Code, Mark Schaefer provides the six strategies needed to ignite your content.
And if there’s one phrase that describes The Content Code, it’s badass. And I’m not just saying that because Mark Schaefer wears a lot of black and is a Steeler fan.
If you want to find out why the Content Code is so brilliantly badass, you need to buy the book and read the first 40 pages. And that’s all I’m going to say.
