When getting serious about content marketing, a lot of businesses start with the vehicle, or asset, and focus on that. They think, “Oh, let’s start a blog” or “Let’s start a podcast”, and then they try and figure out what to fill it with.

Instead, focus on the 'what' and not the 'how'. Focus on what you want to communicate through your content, and how you want to influence the audience, and then decide the how of delivering it?
