Owned Content
• Content that is housed on sites that you own.
• What you put on your blog, website, etc.
Shared Media
• Content that you put on a website you don’t own.
• Anything that you put on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
Owned Versus Shared• Get your owned content
together before you work on your shared. – It’s where business
happens.– Search engines are just as
important as social.
