Content is defined by Wikipedia as, “information and experiences created for an audience.”
“Content marketing is a marketing technique of creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.”
Content marketing in many forms:
• Print and online newsletter

• Digital content (video, mp3 clips, audio presentations)
• Websites and Blogs
• Social networks including forums
• White papers
• Webcast, web seminars, web conferences, podcast
• E-mail blast
• Events
In essence, if you create a message that is valuable, and relevant to your target audience in order to attract, acquire and engage them into action, then you are involve in content marketing. You are also a publisher by the virtue of your published content.
Do this well and your customers will see you as the leader in your industry.
You become an expert, a giver of information, and a problem solver. Soon, they’ll come to you for solutions. That is called inbound marketing-where people come looking for you, instead of you chasing them.
