My marketing journey was born out of SEO roots, where the priority of content promotion has always been high in order to create the kind of accountable marketing performance that matters. In contrast, I see a lot of brands putting the majority or all of their investment towards content creation without qualitative or quantitative effort towards the promotion of that content.

An imbalance of content creation and promotion is not only frustrating potential marketing performance, but it's wasting the investment made in creating great content. What good is that great content if no one sees it?

Below are 10 content promotion tactics that have stood the test of time and go beyond email blasts, social ads and simple social sharing on brand channels. When promotion is included in the content planning and creation process, it becomes part of a content marketing system that drives the kind of relevant, useful and engaging content customers are looking for.

1. Make Content Worth Sharing - While this seems obvious, in practice, many marketers are creating content to satisfy an editorial plan assignment like X content assets about topic Y per month vs. tapping data sources that can reveal what will actually resonate. Those data sources can be front line staff like Customer Service or Sales as well as social, web analytics and industry news. Insights about frequently asked questions, trending topics and provocative ideas can go a long ways towards creating content people actually want to consume and share with others.

2. Master the Headline - Without question we live in a fast moving world of short attention spans, Many people will only skim headlines so it is essential to make the most out of content titles. Email marketers already know this with subject lines and content marketings publishing blogs, ebooks, articles, microsites, campaign assets and social content should ensure headlines are relevant, succinct, imply urgency, are meaningful and show action.  There's a world of difference between "10 Essential Promotion Tactics" and "10 Essential Promotion Tactics That Drive Results".

3. Optimize for Share - For those that do click through to view content, make sure what they find is easily shareable. Blogs do this with social share icons and easy to share click to tweet messages. Reports, ebooks and any other digital content can be formatted for easy sharing as well.

4. Co-Create to Activate Influencers - What better way to reach relevant audiences that are ignoring ads than through relevant industry experts? Collaborating on brand content with the right influencers can inspire creative promotion to audiences that trust individuals more than brands. With more people turning to online sources of information, influencers can add credibility and reach to digital brand content.

5. Repurpose for Exposure on New Channels - Modular content uses templates to make republishing parts of your content on different channels or in different formats much easier and effective. Doing so deconstructs more robust content to specific elements that can be published for exposure. For example, we've been experimenting with having blog posts converted to infographics and then posting them to industry websites.

6. Create Distribution Channels - Email subscribers, social network connections, groups, and communities are all opportunities to attract and engage an audience around your shared interests. Each becomes a distribution channel for your content where you can share useful information and also do the kind of community content crowdsourcing that inspires active sharing.

7. Optimize for Attraction - There is no substitute for being the best answer for your customers at the moment they need the information and solutions your brand offers. Search Engine Optimization is not always a robust part of the content marketing process beyond keyword research informing content topics. An ongoing effort to optimize new content and optimize existing content for better performance on search engines can provide highly productive exposure at the very moment of need.

8. Publicize - Whether you contribute editorial to various publications opportunistically or secure recurring contributions to one publication, earned media can be a great way to connect your content with audiences that are interested. PR and media relations come in many forms ranging from someone actively pitching for interviews or story ideas about your brand to creating newsworthy experiences and content that is most likely to be covered by industry publications.

9. Syndicate - Something as simple as cross posting blog posts to author LinkedIn profiles, to a Medium account or to industry association websites can help your brand's content reach new audiences. Just be sure to link back to the source to help Google understand which to rank.

10. Create Conversations - Whether on LinkedIn or Facebook, video livestreaming is a great way to tap an existing social audience and instigate conversation around topics connected to your content. Recorded video is another option to create conversations and cross publish as Josh Nite and Tiffanie Allen have done for several years with our news posts and video on YouTube.

It should go without saying that content should be promoted, but after so many years of observing what brands are doing with content marketing, the imbalance between creation and promotion continues, especially when you consider stats like blog posts get an average of 8 social shares (BuzzSumo).

The key is to make content promotion a priority by including it in the planning process, setting content promotion goals and identifying the corresponding KPIs and by getting help with creating and implementing balanced content creation and promotion that actually works.

आजकल दूरदर्शन अपने पुराने कार्यक्रमों का पुन: प्रसारण कर रहा है। मनोहर श्याम जोशी की लिखी और रमेश सिप्पी द्वारा निर्देशित ‘बुनियाद’ देश के विभाजन के समय एक परिवार की कथा प्रस्तुत करता है। आलोकनाथ एवं अनिता कंवर ने केंद्रीय भूमिकाएं अभिनीत की हैं। कार्यक्रम में प्रस्तुत कालखंड विभाजन पूर्व से प्रारंभ होकर स्वतंत्रता प्राप्त होने के बाद के पहले दशक तक जाता है। रमेश सिप्पी ने इसके 40 एपिसोड निर्देशित किए थे। उनके सहायकों ने शेष एपिसोड्स निर्देशित किए थे। व्यापारी परिवार के मुखिया हवेलीराम हैं। उनकी संपत्ति में निरंतर इजाफा हो रहा है। मुखिया के दो पुत्र और एक पुत्री है। पुत्री का नाम वीरांवाली है और पुत्र हवेलीराम, रलिया राम हैं। भाई आत्मानंद स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में सक्रिय भाग लेता है। उसकी भांजी लाजवंती का विवाह उसके लालची चाचा उम्रदराज व्यक्ति से करा देते हैं। दूल्हा इतनी बड़ी ‌उम्र का है कि विवाह की रात ही लाजवंती विधवा हो जाती है।

विधवाओं के साथ हमारा व्यवहार कभी अच्छा नहीं रहा। दीपा मेहता की फिल्म ‘वॉटर’ में इसका मार्मिक चित्रण है। वीरांवाली लाजवंती की सहेली है, आत्मानंद के अनुयायी हवेलीराम लाजवंती को पढ़ाने जाते हैं। हवेलीराम के परिवार को इस पर सख्त ऐतराज है। उसकी मां उसे समझाती है कि लाजवंती के सम्मान के लिए उसे उससे दूर रहना चाहिए, अन्यथा अफवाहें फैलेंगी। ज्ञातव्य है कि दूरदर्शन पर मनोहर श्याम जोशी का लिखा ‘हमलोग’ दिखाया गया था। इस सीरियल में निम्न, मध्यम वर्ग के पात्रों की कठिनाइयों को प्रस्तुत किया गया था। बड़ी पुत्री को बड़की कहा जाता है और उसके विवाह के प्रसंग को प्रसारित किए जाने वाले दिन अवाम अपनी दुकानें बंद करके घर लौट आए थे। दूरदर्शन ने मनोहर श्याम जोशी को ‘सोप ओपेरा’ विधा के अध्ययन के लिए ब्राजील भेजा। घर की कामकाजी स्त्रियों के मनोरंजन के लिए यह दोपहर में प्रसारित किया जाता था। संभवत: साबुन बनाने वाली कंपनी प्रायोजक थी। सोप ओपेरा रेडियो पर प्रसारित किए जाते थे। ब्राजील में इसे ‘टेलीनावेला’ कहा गया। इस विधा का प्रारंभ 1931 में हुआ था।

मनोहर श्याम जोशी ने अपनी विदेश यात्रा में इस विधा का अध्ययन किया। उन्हें यह लगा कि विधा मुर्गी के दड़बे की तरह है और पात्र चूजों की तरह बाहर आते हैं। मुर्गी को आसानी से पकड़ा जा सकता है। ज्ञातव्य है कि किशोर कुमार की फिल्म ‘चलती का नाम गाड़ी’ के एक दृश्य में नायिका मधुबाला किशोर कुमार को मुर्गी पकड़ने के लिए कहती है। यह अत्यंत मनोरंजक दृश्य रहा। रलिया राम और हवेलीराम के पिता का नाम लाहौरी राम है। सुधीर पांडे ने इस पात्र को अभिनीत किया था।
उन्होंने ‘टॉयलेट एक प्रेमकथा’ में परंपरावादी और जिद्दी ब्राह्मण की भूमिका अभिनीत की थी। मनोहर श्याम जोशी का उपन्यास ‘कसप’ अत्यंत लोकप्रिय हुआ। उनके आत्म कथात्मक उपन्यास ‘कुरु कुरु स्वाहा’ में उन्होंने अपने तीन स्वरूप प्रस्तुत किए। मनोहर चंचल है, जोशीजी संस्कृत के विद्वान हैं और श्याम प्रेमालू व्यक्ति है। उपन्यास विधा में यह अभिनव प्रयास माना गया। दरअसल हर आदमी में दस आदमी मौजूद रहते हैं। इस उपन्यास की नायिका को ‘पहुंचेली’ कहकर संबोधित किया गया है। मनोहर श्याम जोशी को शास्त्रीय संगीत का ज्ञान था। खाकसार का उनके साथ परिचय था। ‘बुनियाद’ बनते समय उन्होंने रमेश सिप्पी से आग्रह किया कि खाकसार से संपर्क करा दें। रमेश सिप्पी ने रणधीर कपूर के माध्यम से मुझसे संपर्क किया। खाकसार मनोहर श्याम जोशी को राज कपूर के घर ले गया। मनोहर श्याम जोशी के संगीत ज्ञान से राज कपूर प्रभावित हुए और उनसे पटकथा लिखने का अनुरोध भी किया। ‘मैं कौन हूं’ नामक इस प्रस्तावित फिल्म का कथासार यह था कि मुंबई के ठाणे स्थित पागलखाने में एक महिला हमेशा यही बात कहती है कि ‘कत्ल उसने नहीं किया’।

मनोहर श्याम जोशी को बंगाल के बाउल गीतों की जानकारी थी। कुछ कारणों से पटकथा नहीं लिखी गई। ‘बुनियाद’ में सोनी राजदान ने अभिनय किया था। महेश भट्‌ट और सोनी की पुत्री आलिया आज लोकप्रिय सितारा है और रणबीर कपूर से उसका विवाह हो सकता है। व्यापारी लाहौरी राम की हवेली ‘कूचा ए राधाकिशन’ में स्थित है और आत्मानंद का घर ‘बिछौलीवाली गली’ में है। इस घर में एक तहखाना है। देश के विभाजन के समय हवेलीराम तलघर में छिप गए थे। दंगे-फसाद के समय घर में उनकी घड़ी और चश्मा मिलता है। उन्हें मृत मान लिया जाता है, परंतु कथा के अंत समय वे दिल्ली के शरणार्थी कैंप में मिलते हैं।

बहरहाल, पुन: प्रसारण के दौर में कुंदन शाह और अजीज मिर्जा का ‘नुक्कड़’, सतीश शाह एवं रत्ना पाठक अभिनीत ‘सारभाई वर्सेस साराभाई’ और शरद जोशी का लिखा ‘यह जो है जिंदगी’ भी प्रदर्शित किया जाना चाहिए।

ऑस्कर विजेता एक्टर वॉकिन फीनिक्स ने सरकार से जेल में बंद कैदियों को छोड़ने की अपील की है। एक्टर ने न्यूयॉर्क गवर्नर एंड्रयू कुओमो के नाम एक वीडियो मैसेज जारी किया। साथ ही फीनिक्स ने वीडियो में जेल के खराब हालातों के बारे में भी बताया।

"कोई भी जेल में कोरोनावायरस से मरने का हकदार नहीं है"
एक्टर ने पोस्ट में लिखा कि, ऑस्कर विजेता एक्टर वॉकिन फीनिक्स की तरफ से संदेश। मैं गवर्नर कुओमो से जेल में बंद कैदियों पर रहम करने की अपील करता हूं। आपके फैसले पर कई लोगों की जान निर्भर है। कोई भी जेल में कोविड 19 से मरने का हकदार नहीं है। वीडियो में फीनिक्स ने कहा कि, जब आप बंदी बनाए जाते हैं तो सोशल डिस्टेंसिंग और साफ सफाई नहीं होती। लीडर्स को जेल में बंद कैदियों और वहां काम करने वालों की सुरक्षा के लिए हर संभव प्रयास करने चाहिए।

15 साल पहले का हादसा किया था याद
एसशोबिज के मुताबिक फीनिक्स ने बताया कि, 15 साल पहले उन्होंने 'वॉक द लाइन' फिल्म की सक्सेस पार्टी में जमकर शराब पी ली थी। उन्होंने बताया कि, मैं दुनिया के साथ वैसे नहीं जुड़ा था, जैसे मैं जुड़ना चाहता था। मैं एक बेवकूफ की तरह भाग रहा था, शराब पीकर लोगों को परेशान करने की कोशिश कर रहा था।

हो सकते थे बड़े हादसे का शिकार
एक्टर ने बताया कि, एक रात उनकी कार क्रेश हो गई थी। इस हादसे के बाद वे सिगरेट जलाने वाले थे, लेकिन अचानक जर्मन फिल्ममेकर हेरजॉग बीच में आ गए। एक्टर ने बताया कि हेरजॉन ने उन्हें सचेत किया कि, पेट्रोल बह रहा है और वे खुद को सिगरेट जलाकर खुद केो आग लगाने वाले थे।

न्यूयॉर्क के हाल सबसे खराब
जॉन हॉपकिंस यूनिवर्सिटी के मुताबिक, अमेरिका में 24 घंटे में 2,600 लोगों ने दम तोड़ा है। यहां अब तक कुल 30 हजार हजार 844 जान गई है। देश में बुधवार को 30 हजार 206 केस मिले हैं। इसके साथ ही देश में संक्रमितों की कुल संख्या छह लाख 38 हजार 111 हो गई है। सबसे ज्यादा संक्रमित न्यूयॉर्क में कुल 11 हजार 586 मौतें हो चुकी हैं, जबकि यहां दो लाख 14 हजार 648 केस की पुष्टि हो चुकी है।

इरफान आखिरी बार फिल्म 'अंग्रेजी मीडियम' में नजर आए थे। इसके अलावा वे डायरेक्टर सलीम खासा की फिल्म 'द विकेड पाथ' करने जा रहे थे। इरफान 'द विकेड पाथ' में स्कूल प्रिंसिंपल मिस्टर हॉर्टन का किरदार निभाने वाले थे। फिल्म में रॉबर्ट क्लोसी, केन, माइल्स क्लोसी, किंबरले मैगनेस अहम किरदार निभा रहे हैं।
