CONTENT INC.

Content Inc. is the go-to guide to building a business by establishing a loyal audience before you sell any products or services.

Note to Audible listeners: here are the amazing list of resources I mentioned in Chapter 24 of the revised book.

In this bestseller, Joe Pulizzi provides a lower-risk, better way to build a successful business by re-engineering the process that so often leads to failure: You’ll learn how to develop valuable content, build an audience around that content ― and then create a product for that audience. Content Inc. walks you through the entire process, showing how to

  • Identify the intersection of your expertise and your future customer’s needs
  • Determine how to “tilt” your sweet spot to find a place where little or no competition exists
  • Establish your number-one channel for disseminating content (blog, podcast, YouTube, etc.)
  • Use social-media and SEO to convert one-time visitors into long-term subscribers
  • Grow your business by expanding into multiple delivery channels
  • Monetize your product or service for ultimate business success
  • Understand how to sell your content asset for millions or build the business into a large enterprise

This fully updated edition includes new and enhanced coverage of platforms like TikTok, SnapChat, and Instagram, a new section about the exit strategy for the model, more practical how-tos, and current examples of companies that have successfully implemented these strategies.

Apply the methods laid out for you in Content Inc., and before you know it, you’ll be running your own profitable, scalable content business.

"What if you launched a business with nothing to sell, and instead focused first on serving the needs of an audience, trusting that the ‘selling’ part would come later? Crazy? Or crazy-brilliant? I’d say the latter. Because in today’s world, you should serve before selling.”

Ann Handley
Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everybody Writes

"The approach to business taught all over the world is to create a product and then spend a bunch of money to market and sell it. Joe outlines a radically new way to succeed in business: Develop your audience first by creating content that draws people in and then watch your business sell itself."
