20 ideas for content that readers want to share
As many communicators turn to owned media to tell their organizations’ stories, it is important to create content that readers want to share on social media channels.
It’s not easy to have consistently fresh blog content that people want to read and share.
That’s why a content development process is essential. You must create content to answer the questions your prospects and clients ask, and that content should be tied to keywords so, when they Google their questions, you pop up in search results.

My friends know when my notebook comes out, parts of our dinner conversation are probably going to be published (I always ask permission so there are no surprises).
