Fudge yes, you are!<\/p>\n<p>Content marketing is not easy, it takes a lot of elbow grease to create valuable content and even more to promote it!<\/p>\n<p>The promotion part is something that many folks tend to miss when looking at a content marketing strategy. A&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/inbound.org\/discussion\/view\/content-creation-vs-content-promotion-budgets-what-s-the-perfect-split\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">general rule of thumb<\/a>&nbsp;is you should spend 30% of your time creating content and 70% promoting it. That\u2019s why we created this checklist you can use to promote the content you work so hard to create.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the marketing part is something we'll all walk through together. We've got a lovely checklist here outlining what is needed and why to guide you through that 70%. Disclaimer: this process is optimised for English speakers, but the knowledge nuggets remain true.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is for you to get inside the mind of a potential Idyoma user and imagine what kind of things they may want to read.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It doesn't have to be about language - though that's always a safe bet. It could be about studying abroad or travelling. It could be about sexy new apps. It could be about tourism or simply a piece about why your city is worth a visit. You could interview an Idyoma user or someone who speaks a lot of languages. You could make listicles of gifs or make video content.<\/p>\n<p>Point is, there's a lot options out there. Carry on through the checklist to find out how to become an expert content creator and marketer!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"preparation\">\n<h2> Preparation: <\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"enter-the-blog\">\n<h2> Enter the blog <\/h2>\n<div class=\"text-content\">\n<p>So, the first step in this checklist is to access the<strong>&nbsp;company blog<\/strong>!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-content\">\n<p>Visit&nbsp;the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idyoma.com\/blog#sthash.7doQfLG0.dpbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">idyoma blog<\/a>&nbsp;to get an idea of the kind of content that we are aiming for. When you get the idea, don't hesitate any longer and start writing! Though we encourage blog posts that are related to languages, you're free to take other relevant topics as well.

You will need to <strong>pick your best content and pitch sites<\/strong> on republishing your posts. But, there are drawbacks\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You would think that Google would rank the original blog post before any syndicated versions. In a lot of cases, however, that doesn\u2019t happen. The thinking behind this is that <strong>Google ranks the site where people prefer to read the post<\/strong>. So, there is potential that you could lose out on some search engine traffic.<\/p>\n<p>However, at Idyoma we don't really mind if Forbes show up ahead of us in Google's list for a particular article. Forbes should link to the Idyoma article at the bottom of their page - this creates what is known as a &quot;backlink&quot;, and they're very useful for Search Engine Optimisation and making Google happy.<\/p>\n<p>For a guide to content syndication check out these posts:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quicksprout.com\/the-complete-guide-to-building-your-blog-audience-chapter-9\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Syndicating your Content by Quicksprout<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/syndicating-content-whiteboard-friday\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Syndicating Content Whiteboard Friday by Moz<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bufferapp.com\/how-to-become-a-columnist-guest-posting-syndication\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Ultimate Blueprint for Guest Blogging and Syndication by Buffer<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buzzblogger.com\/500-places-to-syndicate-your-content\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">500 Places to Syndicate your Content by BuzzBlogger<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Self Syndication<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few publishing platforms popping up that allow you to \u201cSelf Syndicate\u201d your posts onto a different platform.
