The Coachzing Show EPISODE 10: TRANSCRIPT

Introduction Welcome to the Coachzing show, dedicated to helping you work less, work more and help more people for creative content marketing. This show is brought to you by Coachzing.com, a marketing and publishing company for people who help people. And now here's your host, Doug Foresta.

!

Doug:

Hello. Welcome back to the Coachzing Show. This is Doug Foresta, your host.

We're going to be talking today about how to crack the LinkedIn code, and my

!

guest is Melonie Dodaro.

I just want to share with all of you listeners, thank you so much for your support of the show. One of the things I've committed to doing is to read some of the reviews

!

some of you have left in iTunes, because I really appreciate it.

We're in the new and noteworthy in overall and business and health, and you've

!

really helped drive that.

So thank you all for listening to the show, and I'm glad you find it helpful and with

!

good content.

The review I'll read today is from the Unlearning Center, and they say, "I enjoy the interaction with the guest. It was light with some humor, but at the same time it was pertinent to my business. I found the content to be very valuable to my client-based

!

business, very informative, new ideas and information."

Thanks to the Unlearning Center, and I'll just read one or two each time when we get on, because I do appreciate all of you listeners.

!

She is Canada's number one LinkedIn expert, social media speaker, author and trainer.

!

When it comes to content and content marketing, LinkedIn is so valuable, but I know there are so many people who are only using the tip of the iceberg of what LinkedIn is, and I'm probably one of them. I'm really excited about this episode and learning myself.

!

Melonie Dodaro, thank you for joining me today.

!

Melonie:

!

Thanks so much, Doug.

Content Marketing Strategy (01:37) Doug:

Let's get right down to it. The first question is, what is your favorite content marketing strategy?

!

Melonie:

I think when it comes to LinkedIn, one of the things that's really important is to combine that with great content marketing strategy and to position yourself as

!

an authority on your topic.

There are a number of different ways to do that, when it comes to content.

!

My most popular way I do it is through blogging. Blogging allows you to share content on LinkedIn, whether it's a status update, sharing groups or LinkedIn's new LinkedIn Publisher feature, which allows you to get your blog posts in front of a lot more people than even your website or blog could do.

!

Doug:

You said blogging establishes you as an expert, right?
