33 Laws of
Content Marketing
Success
www.thesaleslion.com
Content marketing is not new.

The principles are
older than time.
Understand and apply the sacred

LAWS.
Theyyou answer.
ask,

1

When a prospect or customer
asks your company a question,
you need to answer it.
Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
The goal is
to be helpful.

2

[ You don’t need to appear intelligent. ]

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Great listeners
never run out
of content.

3

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Ask for action.
People are more likely to do
what you want, when you ask them.
[ This is your “call to action.” ]

4

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Be unbiased.

5

If you’re biased in the way
you communicate,
you won’t earn trust.

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
People remember
stories over facts.

6

[ Any day of the week. ]

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Listen...

7

All this marketing stuff we talk about
is essentially the art of listening,
communicating and teaching.
[ The rest is just fancy words. ]

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
The best teachers
always gain the most
trust and respect.

8

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Enthusiasm and passion
always beat dry
and boring.

9

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Insourcing content
almost always beats
outsourcing.

10

[ You’ll get better results. ]

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Everyone is looking
for leaders.
[ In every industry. ]

11

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Leaders sell
more stuff.

12

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Some “just okay”
content that is published
will crush the
“awesome content”
that never gets
published.

13

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
It is more important
to get better than
be perfect.

14

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Great content marketing
companies don’t allow their
competition to dictate what
they write about.
Their sole guiding light is

15

is the ideal customer
[ and no one else ].
Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
You have to produce
average content
to learn how to produce
great content.

16

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Everyone has a story.
Most just don’t realize
[ or appreciate. ]
their story.

17

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Amazing stories
pertaining to your industry
are all around you.
Make sure to see them unfold.

18

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Content marketing
as a “culture” will
always beat content
marketing as
a “program.”

19

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Industry thought leaders
put their opinions
out there.
[ And are strong enough to take it from both sides. ]

20

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
The best content marketers
embrace who
they are NOT
just as much as who
they ARE.

21

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
The more red tape,
lawyers and bottlenecks
a company has, the more
they stink at content
marketing.

22

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Consumers see things in
terms of their “problems,”
not your company’s
“stuff” or “features.”

23

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Great companies
don’t care if others
have addressed the
same subjects.
[ They want the market to
know their “doctrine”on it. ]

24

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Useful beats
amazing.

25

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Not all customer questions have a simple answer.

The most effective content
marketers know how to respond:
“It depends...”

26

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
The formula for failure:

The organization does not
buy into content marketing
from top to bottom.

27

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
The great ones think
EXACTLY
as customers do.

28

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Content marketing is a
JOURNEY...
not a destination.

29

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
Honest and transparent
content will always be

the powerful trust-builder.
[ Which

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
When you try too hard
to sound smart,
you will sound
STUPID.

31

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion
www.thesaleslion.com
People learn differently.

[ Some want to read. Some want to listen. Some want to watch. ]

The most effective
content marketers
embrace the idea and respond
with an appropriate
media mix.

32

Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion

Platforms
come and go.
The principles of content marketing never die.
