Content Inc., Second Edition: Start a Content-First Business, Build a Massive Audience and Become Radically Successful (With Little to No Money) - Hardcover
Synopsis
From one of today's leading experts in content marketing, Content Inc. is the go-to guide to building a solid small business by establishing a loyal audience before you sell products or services.
Do you create digital content? Well, this is the business model you've been looking for...
In these pages, Joe Pulizzi provides a lower-risk, more effective way to create a path to success 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:
- Choose a topic
- Unearth an area where little competition exists (break through the clutter)
- Choose your best channel to build your platform
- Build long-term customer loyalty (an audience)
- Start making money from your content
- Expand your content into multiple channels/platforms
- Sell your content asset or scale it into a successful business
This updated edition includes new and enhanced coverage of platforms like TikTok, SnapChat, and Instagram, a new section about the exit strategy for the model, more practical how-tos, and current examples of companies that have successfully implemented these strategies.
Content Inc. provides an ingenious approach to business based on a profoundly simple concept: Having a singular focus on audience, and building a loyal audience directly, provide the best, most nuanced understanding of what products ultimately make the most sense to sell.
Apply the methods laid out for you in Content Inc., and create the business of your dreams.

“If you’re serious about turning content into a business, this is the most detailed, honest, and useful book ever written.”
—Jay Baer, New York Times bestselling author of Youtility
“What if you launched a business with nothing to sell, and instead focused first on serving the needs of an audience, trusting that the ‘selling’ part would come later? Crazy? Or crazy-brilliant? I’d say the latter. Because in today’s world, you should serve before selling.”
—Ann Handley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everybody Writes
“Now there is a better way to promote your business.”
—Guy Kawasaki, Chief evangelist of Canva and author of The Art of the Start 2.0
“Use this as your roadmap to startup success.”
—Sally Hogshead, New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, How the World Sees You
“The approach to business taught all over the world is to create a product and then spend a bunch of money to market and sell it. Joe outlines a radically new way to succeed in business: Develop your audience first by creating content that draws people in and then watch your business sell itself.”
—David Meerman Scott, New York Times bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR.
“Anyone, anywhere with a passion and focus on a content niche can build a multimillion-dollar platform and business. I did it and so can you. Just follow Joe’s Content Inc. model.
—John Lee Dumas, founder, EntrepreneurOnFire
