If you own a website, you're a publisher.  Interruption marketing is a thing of the past. We can no longer only talk to our audience. We must join the conversation that's already happening.  The world of marketing has been radically changing in the last couple of years to a new kind of marketing. Businesses that have been spending their marketing budgets on print, TV, banner ads, and even PPC are realizing that there is a better way. A better way to attract leads, to nurture those leads, to lower your cost per sale and to speed up the buying process. That way is content marketing.  The companies that are succeeding right now are the ones creating content that engages their customers and brings in the business.  That's where this book comes in. Many marketing books present themselves like the consultant who comes in and says, "Here's the strategy you need, but I don't implement. I don't actually do it. That's for you to figure out." But if you're going to be successful, you need to understand how to create and promote compelling content that brings in the customers - not just that you need to.  Accelerate! provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to execute a successful content marketing strategy, no matter how big or small your organization is.  Any one of the chapters in this book could be books unto themselves, but rather than write a multi-volume encyclopedia on the subject, Arnie has created a portable field guide for your marketing strategy.  Accelerate! will:    Guide you through the 8 steps to a successful content marketing plan from developing a strategy to measuring results  Give 16 examples of content you can create for your business  Review real case studies from both small and large businesses that are doing it right  Highlight the best and most used tools in the industry, most of which are free!  Showcase contributions from 13 other industry experts including; Jay Baer, Rand Fishkin and Joe Pulizzi.    "Content marketing is about providing information of value to the customer.
