In these pages, Joe Pulizzi provides a lower-risk, better way to build a successful business by re-engineering the process that so often leads to failure: You’ll learn how to develop valuable content, build an audience around that content ― and then create a product for that audience. Content Inc. walks you through the entire process, showing how to
- Identify the intersection of your expertise and your future customer’s needs
