Content Marketing is often referred to as marketing by sharing knowledge and creating value for the audience. The audience can be end customers, influencers, employees or any other stakeholders. Over the past seven months since the launch of Kamakshi Media LLP (www.kamakshimedia.in) we have created content in the form of audio, images, infographics and blog posts. Through our Podcasts- MyKitaab (www.mykitaab.in) and Digital PowWow: Digital and Social Media (www.digitalpowwow.net) we have talked about book publishing, social media, digital marketing. More recently, through Baalgatha, which are Children's bedtime stories (www.gaatha.co). Based on our learnings, I thought of sharing my acquired and practiced knowledge in the form of this short overview. I am writing about my next book that’s titled “Social Media Alphabet”. This premise of the book is that there is tales one social media site or an app for each letter of the English Alphabet (sometimes more!) This book will walk the readers through some of the major sites or apps, and what are the top two or three “wow” factors about them. Back in April I had released a podcast episode titled “Alphabet for the Social Media Manager”. You can listen to it https://goo.gl/I3XJXG . This book builds on that work. Comments and suggestions are welcome you can write to us atcontact@kamakshimedia.in
