3. RED BULL – THE RED BULLETIN
• It’s important to consider content consumption
beyond the desktop. Understand that while not
everyone has resources to produce a monthly
magazine in multiple languages, what could
you do?
• Consider starting with a bi-annual or quarterly
magazine and save costs by publishing it
digitally.
• Also drive up subscriptions by starting the
publication off with a low or free price supported
by non-competitive advertising and then
evaluate pricing structure once you have an
audience.

Gauge the overall engagement with your content, but can be harder off-site
but you can look at attribution metrics based on referral touch points. Also
consider automation of tracking your metrics and quarterly reviews and even
update past figures with fresh data for best analysis.

understanding how your content
might have gone viral but also
who are the key influences your
want to engage with to get that
reach.
• The problem with Ripples is they
under report as they only show
what content has been shared
publically not within their circles.

do you have out there?

40. HAVE SOME FUN WITH CONTENT!
• Understand your audience but also how it
suits content syndication channels. This
example is a bit of fun but the type of
content that goes viral on social media.
• The downside to this content is you can’t
easily find the original creator and footer
notes for authorship are easily removed
when people are seeding your content
across social media channels.
• Consider using recognisable colour
schemes, characters or icon graphics
when creating this type of content.

44. PROTECT YOUR CONTENT!
• While Panda algorithm updates has taken a
chunk out of the value of scraped content,
it’s still important to understand the scale of
the theft and who is the culprits.
• Often it may just be a minor infringement by
one of your partners or an affiliate but it can
be an opportunity to request a link as
original creator of the content.
• You can also use platforms like Copyscape
to understand what content is popular and
adjust your content marketing calendar to
produce more items around those topics.
• This is also important to understand if you
are extensively using guest posts,
sponsored posts or digital PR.

45. WHO LIKES YOUR IMAGES?
• Google Image search is a quick way to do
this but for a detailed report, TinEye is one
of the leading platforms for finding who is
using your images.
• This is key for understanding which of your
affiliates might be pushing the envelope
too far or who is claiming credit for your
awesome infographic without giving credit.
• They also offer an API if you are trying to
deduplicate member profile photos
automatically.

content to the largest possible audience,
but also worthwhile understanding when
looking for fresh content ideas on what is
currently gaining traction via social
platforms.

what suits your audience best and
highlights the problem with posting the
same content at the same time to multiple
channels.

48. WHAT WORKS ON FACEBOOK?
• It’s important if you are producing content
you consider tailoring to the platform,
typically images and video significantly out
perform text status updates.
• Also put any items via the mum test (would
you send this to your mum) before posting
to your fan page.
• Also if a posted content item provokes a
negative response consider taking it down
asap and quickly post a status update
about the removed content item and why it
was removed.
