"Laura Solomon will help you give a compelling answer to your patron's question, "What's in it for me?" with advice on such topics as: 5 characteristics of effective content marketing; 4 methods of audience assessment; How to optimize content for sharing; Meaningful metrics for the library context; Elements of an editorial calendar for sustainable content; How to create once and re-purpose many times; 5 common mistakes and how to avoid them; Template for creating personas; First-hand accounts from library marketers"-- Provided by publisher.
Solomon examines the most common online mistakes she has seen in libraries, and encourages readers to take a long, hard look at what their library does online. Are you trying to please the patrons or someone in administration? Are your internal guidelines for posting online outdated? Is your website a promotional tool for the library, or an attempt to make your library a true part of the community you serve? Answering these questions could be the start to a new outlook in content marketing.
Get over yourself -- Should you care about content marketing? (yeah, probably.) -- Identifying your audience(s) -- Planning not to fail -- Writing so people might give a damn -- Common mistakes: getting better, going forward -- Are you actually succeeding? (and how do you know?) -- Afterword.
