Epic Content with Brian Piper

The Trend Report

Content is all around us, and we are consuming it nearly every second of every day. For those of us who don’t know exactly what content is, it is the concept of sharing original thoughts with a call to action to get consumers to take action in your field of expertise.

Creating quality content allows you to leverage your expertise to build trust in your industry and create content to solve the problems of your consumer. Brian Piper joins me in this episode, and he emphasizes the importance of storytelling in marketing.

Your owned land is the area of content that you have control over, such as your website or your blogs. Your rented land are platforms that you have no control over the data, content, or how it is distributed, such as social media channels. Your rented land should drive your traffic back to your owned land. And your owned land should provide value outside of selling your product or service.
