To do this, invite others to follow your lead or to interact with you.

What is a Content Marketing Plan?

A content marketing plan (CMP) is a strategic document that helps you define your goals, objectives, and strategies for developing and executing your online presence. It is a guideline for achieving those goals through content creation, distribution, and other means.

The CMP can be broken down into three areas:

  1. Your overall strategy. What do you want?
  2. Your content strategy. Where are the best people to write, curate, distribute and promote your content?
  3. How you will execute your strategy. Which channels are you going to use to share your content. Which types of content can you create?

These are the four essential components of a CMP that is effective:

  • Goal Setting – Define and measure your target audience.
  • Audience Research - Understand your ideal customers so you know exactly where to look for them.
  • Strategy - Develop a clear vision of where you're going. You can then break it into smaller pieces.
  • Execution - Set realistic expectations around when you expect to see results from your efforts.
