Episode 44: How To Fail Before You Get Started
Don't Let The Scope of Your Content Strategy Get Too Big Before You Even Start

In this episode of Content Inc., Joe Pulizzi discusses the importance of going small to get big. So often we are tempted to go wide with our content, when it makes more sense to go very niche with perhaps one buyer persona, or even a specific group of buyers within that persona. Don't try to compete with brands that have bigger budgets. Do what you do well in a tighter, niche area and go deep with your content.
