The Content Marketing Travel Kit – Everything You Need to Create & Market Great Content on the Go!

October 6, 2014 by Chris 26 Comments

chris ducker content marketing worldI just got back from an epic almost-5-week speaking tour which took me to two countries, eight cities and had me hopping on and off a total of sixteen planes from beginning to end. Phew!

It was tiring, sure. But it was also incredibly rewarding as I got the chance to meet new people, present at new events, connect with readers of this blog and listeners of my podcast, as well as create a ton of online content!

In fact, throughout the course of September, I published 3 blog posts and 4 podcast episodes – all of which were pre-written / recorded and fully scheduled, along with social media updates, etc., before I even got on my first plane – thanks to a solid content creation schedule in August and my great VA team.

However, the one thing that I’m most proud of in regards to content in September was the fact that I also produced a total of 30 videos in 30 days, as part of my Vidtember Challenge!

You can click for the playlist on YouTube.

When I announced that I was going to be doing this, some people thought I was nuts – but, mostly people were excited to see what I was going to put together and I even had several people join me in the challenge, which was awesome.

11 ‘Online Video’ Content Ideas to Help Market Your Brand & Business Online!

November 21, 2012 by Chris 45 Comments

Online Video IdeasWhen it comes to the world of online video, I’ll admit, I’m still learning (even after almost 3-years of flirting with it!) – but, there’s one thing I do know for sure… it works. Plain and simple.

I’ve had a lot of emails and tweets recently from people that have started to get active with their online video production, which is awesome!

Amongst all the questions I’ve gotten, from “Does quality really mater…?” and ‘What’s the best camera to use..?”, to “Who does your cool video intro…?” (It’s the guys over at Splasheo, for your info!) – the one topic that has stood out above and beyond them all is about content.

What type of content is best for video and what kind of content should we be creating to help market and promote our businesses online? Well, I thought I’d shoot this quick video myself, to answer the question, and give you lots of ideas! Enjoy.

Website Pick-Me-Up: 3 Subscriber’s Get a Good Grillin’ from Me! (Video)

October 26, 2012 by Chris 28 Comments

Website Pick-Me-Up!Earlier on in the week, I posted a status update over on our Facebook Community, asking for people to volunteer their websites for a bit of a ‘beat down’!

I was astounded with how many people submitted their sites for public critiquing, but also happy to see so many great site authors following me online – even though they are doing just fine on their own, by the looks of things!

I’d love to have the time to go over every site in detail, however, I don’t. After scanning all of them, I selected these three that I felt were almost there, but needed a few tweaks in place, in order to get to the next level.

The ‘New Business’ Manifesto

October 4, 2012 by Chris 50 Comments

New Business Manifesto

Throughout the course of a normal week, I’ll receive hundreds of questions from small business owners and startup entrepreneurs on the subject of starting and growing companies in today’s incredibly fast moving business world.

A lot of the time they are via our Facebook Community, and I’ll reply there directly. Sometimes its on Twitter, and some times via email. Bottom line: I freakin’ love hearing from you – regardless of how you reach out. So, please don’t stop!

One thing that I really love is the fact that the large majority of these messages come in from people that have already taken and finished my free training course, the ‘New Business’ Bootcamp, giving them a great kickstart in the process!

But, growing a business in today’s market is not just about learning how to blog, podcast, how to utilize online video, or work with virtual assistants (to name a few of the subjects tackled in the bootcamp). It’s also just as important to have the right mindset, than it is to have the skills!

We need to encapsulate EVERYTHING that we should ALL be about, in regards to changing the way we startup, market and build our businesses in today’s economy, so I bring to you, the ‘New Business’ Manifesto!
