- 6. Set Your Goals... By asking important questions you can begin to decide on your goals! Example: What do I want the visitor to do after they’ve read the content? Share? Subscribe?
- 7. Goals Set! Once you have asked every relevant question you can think of, you can start to think about how to achieve these goals. You can revisit this later and revise as you get additional data.

- 11. Goals > Topics Make sure your topics will help achieve your goals. If you have a topic on productivity and related subjects, list posts work well. These posts are highly sharable and so will fit with ‘sharing’ goals.
- 12. Research Yo! Your competitors can be ‘spied’ on by using SocialCrawlytics to find out their most shared content. If this is one of your goals, you should do your due-diligence.

- 18. Structure. In general your Content Strategy should account for structured content. You can do this by keeping each new piece of content related to the last. In effect creating a story and a real conversation with your audience.
- 19. Create A Schedule. Now you have everything in place, create a schedule. Use Excel, create a spreadsheet and create columns for headline, topic, goals, content type, length, ideas for promotion and keyword ideas.
- 20. Use Keyword Research To Come Up With A Couple Of Keywords To Target For Each Post & To Help You Create A Headline.
- 21. Test It... If you have the budget, test your content by sending paid traffic to it. Track how well it performs based on your goals. If it does well you can continue, but if it doesn’t perform, revisit the initial strategy.
- 22. If Your Bounce Rate % Is Higher Than The Industry Average, Your Content Could Be At Fault!
- 23. Going Forward... Before you consider your Content Marketing strategy, keep in mind that you must always measure and learn from what data you have. Doing this you can continue to go back and refine your content strategy until it’s perfect for your goals and audience.
