- Copyblogger makes content marketing solutions for WordPress. Whether or not you work with WordPress, they’ve produce quality content marketing resources such as their recent post, “Why Content Marketing is the New Branding.”
- Onboardly assists venture backed startups with customer acquisition through content marketing and PR. Their blog answers questions that content marketers need to be asking (why is your content not reaching more customers? what makes a great blog post?). I found this post found particularly useful: “How to Kick-Start Your Editorial Calendar.”
- The Content Marketing Institute is a gold mine for resources. Get into the details of CM with their white paper library. CMI also produces a quarterly print and digital magazine (the first devoted to content marketing), hosts content marketing events around the world and offer consulting services.
- Contently is a dream come true for freelancers and businesses looking to hire for content marketing gigs. Their unique portfolio platform shows off the essentials for content marketing success (shares, com
ments, clips and followers) and it takes just a few minutes to put together (click to see mine). The catch (not a bad one): access to their Marketplace (where writers can get jobs) is invite-only, based on portfolio strength. Contently has a blog, “The Content Strategist,” and a separate site, “The Freelance Strategist,” both featuring top quality content created by professional writers. I liked, “5 Simple Steps to Better Blog Typography.”
