Shot 6: Pro Tip of the Week
What types of content get shared:
http://buzzsumo.com/blog/magical-content-gets-links-shares-new-research-buzzsumo-majestic/
Our research identified five content types that have the potential to achieve both high numbers of shares and high numbers of domain links. These are:
Authoritative content that answers popular questions, such as ‘what is ..?’
Strong opinion posts and political posts
Content that provides original research and insights
Content that leverages a trending topic but that also provides practical insights
Authoritative news content on new products or developments
Shot 7: Resource of the Week
Lead scoring and nurturing:

Although it covers a different product – Drip – the approaches he goes through are well worth reviewing.
Particularly understanding lead nurturing versus customer nurturing, and also the different types of nurturing that apply to early startup companies versus established companies.
