![Page 6: Content marketing workshop--Tech Media](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a762ff1a28ab24058b4618/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CONTENT MARKETING HAS BECOME
THE TOP PRIORITY
![Page 7: Content marketing workshop--Tech Media](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a762ff1a28ab24058b4618/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHAT IS CONTENT MARKETING?
• Content marketing is the art of providing relevant,
useful content to your guests without selling or
interrupting them.
• Instead of pitching your products or services, you are
delivering information that makes your customers
more informed before they buy.
• If you deliver consistent, ongoing valuable
information to your customers, they ultimately reward
you with their business and loyalty.

HOW TO OPTIMIZE IMAGES
• Image files should be compressed as much as
reasonably possible to reduce file size. Smaller files
mean faster site load speeds. JPGs generally offer
the best balance of file size & quality.
• Use relevant keywords in image filenames,
separated by dashes (not underscores). Instead of
"DL000031.jpg", use something like "red-sports-
car.jpg"
• Make sure <img> tags have their "alt" and "title"
attributes defined with descriptive, concise, keyword-
related text. Do not stuff <img> attributes.
• Context matters. Google looks at content placed
around the image, like titles and captions, for context
about your image.
• Be sure to include images in your sitemap. The
XML tags provide additional opportunities to define
an image's title, caption, and even geographic
location.
![Page 65: Content marketing workshop--Tech Media](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a762ff1a28ab24058b4618/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
HOW TO OPTIMIZE VIDEOS
• Specific, Compelling Title –Would you click on “Our
Company” or “V00023.mov?” neither will your audience.
• Tags –This is where you can help your video appear in
the “Suggested” or “Similar” videos section. Don’t be
dishonest, but if there are pop culture or social media
references in the video, tag them accordingly.
• Description - Say as much as you can in the first
sentence or two, because many video sites will hide the
bulk of your description. Include at least one link placed
at the start of the description – with http://.
• Video Quality / Resolution – Shoot, edit and export the
video in the highest quality available on the devices and
software you use. The online video audience is very
forgiving of skill level, but a low resolution video can
make it difficult to see what is going on.
• Thumbnail Image – If it’s an organically made video
(not planned), pick the most visually compelling of the
options they give you.

HOW TO APPEAR IN GOOGLE NEWS
• Need to submit your URL to Google first
• Article URLs must be:
–Unique
–Permanent
–Display a three-digit number
• To see if a site is already included in
Google News, type [ site:url.com ], into the
search box and click "Search News."
• http://support.google.com/news/publisher/

SHARING NEW CONTENT CAN BE VERY SIMPLE

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU POST?
• The most common complaint from Facebook users is Newsfeed spam
• Posting just a few times per week produces 71% higher user
engagement
• Focus on quality, not quantity on Facebook.
• Only 50% of your posts should be about your content. Organizations
that share other content have a higher engagement rate.

FACEBOOK – THE MOTOR LODGE
• Beat the crowds with a sneak peek of the Courthouse Christmas lights tonight from 5:30-6:30pm (the official Lighting Ceremony is Saturday).
• Time to get shopping so, for our Facebook buddies we will add 15% to any gift certificate that you purchase for holiday giving. Think of it, you provide a fun place to stay for your favorite people while appearing to be 15% more generous than you really are...It's a win, win!
• We thought you should know that waterboarding at The Motor Lodge has stopped! In case you never had the chance to experience the torture that was our showers, imagine standing in a phone booth while a 55 gallon drum of water was dumped on you from 8' up (a classic case of form over function...sorry). New and improved, ...adjustable and reachable showerheads make cleansing your beautiful body an absolute pleasure. Enjoy!
• Time to name the cat that adopted us 3 months ago! Whoever comes up with the winning name wins a free night in our swankiest room, #6. The cat is a neutered male, very friendly, green eyes and has a hole in his left ear. Voting ends Sunday at 5pm. (The post included a video of the cat.)
