Publishing

Over at Junta 42, Joe Pulizzi has put up a great post on how publishers leverage social media tools to grow their online footprint.  Recommended reading for everyone in the publishing business, as Joe has synthesized a number of different perspective and added his own unique and experiences point of view.

The key issue is defining your goals correctly and aligning your teams around those goal. Says Pulizzi:

If you believe that your core business is publishing, then you are competing with the entire world (we are all publishers today). As a publisher, you need to rethink your business (are you in the business of providing engaging experiences for your niche customers?).

In the post, Joe linked to one of my posts from last July where I laid out a model for content-sharing that we had begun to implement with our regional home design magazines.

We’ve been working this content-sharing approach for close to a year and it’s had measurable impact on our consumer engagement, market presence and revenue opportunities. In this post, I share some of the ways that our top editors have integrated content-sharing into their workflow.

For those who are interested, here’s Joe’s presentation:
