It doesn't matter if you're a blogger, copywriter, marketer or another type of professional; you need content and lots of it. In other words, content marketing is now a requirement for success.
Without strong and compelling content, most of us working in the online world wouldn't be where we are today. In order to come up with content strategies, create content and market it, we draw upon external content marketing resources for inspiration. Sometimes it's from real life, other times it's other sites in and out of your niche.
Later on, I will do more detailed reviews, but for now, here are some of the top sites I visit on content marketing:
Resources for Content Marketing
Content Marketing Institute - Led by Joe Pulizzi and crew, this site has in-depth resources on everything in content marketing - a must read for anyone serious about content marketing.
Copyblogger - How can you not have a post about content marketing resources without mentioning Copyblogger? Brian Clark, Sonia Simone and gang bring it everyday with some of the best content about content on the net...period.
Content Marketing Today - With a title like that, how can you not know what the site is about? Newt Barrett's site has good resources for anyone looking to know more about content marketing.
SEO Copywriting - What's content if it isn't optimized, right? Heather Lloyd-Martin runs the site and she does indeed walk the walk when it comes to content marketing and SEO copywriting. If you haven't checked out her site, I highly encourage you do it as soon as possible.
Top Rank -Lee Odden and his team at Top Rank marketing serve up some great insights and practical metrics on content marketing for the present and the future. This is another one you should add to your RSS reader, my peoples.
Bonus
Alltop Content Marketing - Here's a bonus for you, my peoples. If you want to find even more resources for content marketing, look at Mr. Guy Kawasaki's digital library, Alltop. With loads of great resources about many subjects in one place, how can you not bookmark this site? FYI - this is a great resource for creating remarkable content.
Although there are many other resources for content marketing, these are some of the top ones I use on a regular basis. I hope you like them and if you have others to add to the list, please share them here for everyone to see.
