Have you ever wondered if you can really grow your business through content creation?
In this week’s episode, Michael Stelzner, founder of Social Media Examiner and author of the book Launch: How to Quickly Propel Your Business Beyond the Competition, shares with us the secrets of how your business can create valuable content that will attract an audience and build your business.
From fire starters to different types of content fuel, you’ll discover how to grow your business by creating the right type of content.

Big Ideas:
- There are two types of content “fuel” that will propel your business to success: primary fuel and nuclear fuel.
- Primary fuel can be used regularly and liberally. These include how-to’s, case studies, news and so on.
- Nuclear fuel creates a big splash. These are in depth reviews, longer format content, industry surveys and more. They take too much time to create regularly, so space them out and consider using them if you’re trying to reach a goal for opt-ins or registrations.
- Use “fire starters” to quickly build your reach. Fire starters are the people who have access to the audience you are targeting.
- To market your content without being pushy, consider looking for guest blogging opportunities to leverage existing audiences, as well as asking your current readers to share your content with their networks.
