5 Simple Content Marketing Storytelling Techniques for 2014 from Cursive Content Marketing

Key Takeaways:

Change Your Social Mindset. Your story is your most important marketing tool. Instead of trying to develop separate strategies for each social media platform, focus on developing your overall content marketing strategy and using social media for content distribution. It’s a slight shift in your perspective, but it makes a big difference.
Focus on Google. Join Google+ and become an active user, and establish your authorship. These two actions will make a significant impact on your position as a thought leader and your ability to effectively share your story.
(Slide)Share It. Integrate SlideShare into your content strategy. Use it to amplify your content by repurposing old blog posts, integrate your presentations across your social platforms and more. It’s the world’s largest community for sharing presentations.
Tiny, Visual Content Wins Big. Decide if chat apps or visual platforms make sense for your brand, and optimize your content for visual sharing.
Inspire Your Story. Seek out motivation to create your best work. Write, focus, optimize. Get your butt in that chair and your hands on that keyboard.
