Why Content Gets Shared

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 :).

The most of time we speak about the "why" and "how" you should start a blog, in this post it's, for one time, different. Blogging is increasingly popular, but that doesn't mean it's right for your small business. Here are 10 reasons you might want to hold off on. [note Martin Gysler]
If it wasn't before, blogging is certainly the "it" marketing vehicle of the moment.
A study of more than 3,000 marketers done by Social Media Examiner last year showed 68 percent of small businesses use blog posts already as part of their social-media strategy. After all, if you're going to be tweeting and updating your status on LinkedIn and all, it's helpful if you can link back to some tasty piece of content on your site. Blogging makes that easy to do.
But that doesn't mean blogging is right for your small business, as the blog Reputation Capital pointed out earlier this week. Here are a few reasons you might want to hold off on blogging at your business:

Social media is one of those things that businesses of all sizes know that they need to do, but they are not really sure how to do it, where they can find the time to do it, or if they are willing to pay someone else to do it. Via Brian Yanish - MarketingHits.com, Martin (Marty) Smith

Here are 6 reasons your content won’t get shared (and it absolutely won’t go viral):
1) No Sharing Buttons (or they’re hidden) In order to help your content spread, you have to reduce the friction of sharing. In other words, make it very easy to share via Facebook, LinkedIn Twitter, Pinterest and via email.
2) You Have a Boring Headline Headlines are the first things people see when the visit your website or blog.
3) You’re Not Connected In Social Media and/or You Don’t Share it Yourself If a tree falls in the forest but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Translated into blogging, this is, “If a post is written but there’s no one around to read or share it, was it really written at all?”.
4) Your Posts Are All About You I have nothing against you, your company, your products, the benefits of your products, the different colors you offer, your financing plans, your client case studies, your demos or your company events. It’s just that it’s not that interesting for me as a reader.
5) You Don’t Have an Artisanal Attitude to Crafting Content Blog posts that are produced as “check the box” activities will never be exceptional. In other words, an inspired piece of content can get hundreds or thousands of shares while an uninspired one can get zero.
6) You Don’t Post Often Enough To Become Good At It Every content creator starts off producing average (or below average) content. Get over that fact. You have to produce enough content, get enough feedback, see what people respond to and find your own voice…and that requires that you put in some time.

An excellent article on how to strategically generate more traffic for your blog by targeting the right audiences for your content. Very useful for businesses who want to capitalize blogging as a tool for driving up more profits.
It took me 101 days to hit 1,012 subscribers. I did it by using a very simple strategy that was free from overwhelm and stress.
Most bloggers never get past the 1,000 subscriber mark, or create a profitable online business, not because they aren’t good, but because they are afraid to use the most effective tools available.
I worked hard during those 101 days, but I loved every second of it. Looking back, I can still see where I made mistakes, but making mistakes is not the problem, not taking action is.
If you can consistently take action, you will achieve your goals. And the way to consistently have the fuel to take action is to find and follow your passion.
We all have something like this inside of us. If you can find a topic you could die for, you’re on the right track. If someone had a gun to your head and you had to choose one topic to write about for the next few years, what would you choose?
