Here's a 10-Step ‘Checklist’ for Your Content Marketing Site

Hey there,

Welcome to another edition of The Digital Entrepreneur Newsletter.

Whether you’re starting a brand-new content site or have one that just needs a spruce-up, great sites tend to share similar habits and structures.

In today’s podcast recommendation, Sonia Simone talks about 10 things to keep in mind, so you’re building your content on a rock-solid foundation.

By the way — if you like text content, this podcast episode is an audio version of a Copyblogger post: The 10-Step Content Marketing Checklist.

In this 19-minute episode, Sonia discusses:

• Key elements to have in place for your site, including your own domain, solid security, and great-looking design
• The keys to creating content that’s worth reading, viewing, or listening to. (Our upcoming publication checklist can help you with that as well!)
• Crafting the “cornerstone” content that supports the authority of your site
• When to add an email list to your publication tasks
• Taking your content to a larger audience

Here are this week’s three resources to help you create, sell, and grow.

Grow

How does your product grow?

What is a framework that represents how the fastest companies grow? One that combines product, channels, and monetization into one system? One that looks for compounding growth vs linear growth? Growth Loops.

I hope you find these resources to be useful, and that at least one of them helps you take a meaningful step forward during the course of the next week.
