DESCRIPTION
Finding material for your Content Marketing is often difficult. People struggle with ideas of what to produce, what their customers want and what to create. In this presentation, I suggest you need to: 1. Spend less time sharing other people's content. 2. Spend more time creating your own. 3. Talk with customers. 4. Talk with colleagues. 5. Conduct online research using a variety of tools. Put all of this together and you should never run out of ideas for your content marketing. Good luck!
