Kevin Lockett Releases Interactive Content Marketing eBook

New eBook helps Marketers and Newbies Learn How to Find, Engage and Creating Content from Industry Leaders  

AKRON, Sept. 15, 2015— “Give them [the audience] what they want…when they want it…in the form they want it in!"
Kevin Spacey's quote kicks off "So You Think You Know Content Marketing" (Lockett Media), a down-to-earth guide that focuses on helping anyone Find, Create and Engage audiences through content marketing.
“I was interviewing Joe Pulizzi from Content Marketing Institute for my “Digital Life with Kevin Lockett” podcast a few years ago and towards the end of the interview, I asked him how could I brand myself better and he told me to write a book!  Kevin Lockett says. “So a few years later, I wrote a (e) book!”
The beginning of each chapter features a quote and a link, from a digital influencer like Pam Didner, Gini Dietrich, Andy Crestodina, and GE’s Katrina Craigwell, different aspects of content marketing including online conversation marketing, digital platforms, mobile strategy, content distribution, social media policy, leadership and more.  Kevin then offers his take on the quotes with his own social media advice or case studies, which also include links to articles, videos and podcasts to add even more insight.  
The idea of the interactive nature of “So You Think You Know Content Marketing” came from another former podcast guest, Damon Brown. “Damon’s eBook, “Our Virtual Shadows,” was the best eBook I have ever read, because he was engaging his audience with links within his content. I have never seen anything like that before, “Lockett says enthusiastically. “I was so impacted by his eBook that I knew that if I ever wrote my own, I wanted my readers to have the same experience I had, the first time I read his eBook”.
Interactive as well as diverse, “So You Think You Know Content Marketing” also offers features urban professionals, who are also finding success in the digital arena, but whom are rarely covered in business books.
“If you look at most books about digital marketing or social media, very few, if any, offers case studies or insight from minorities in the digital landscape, so I wanted my eBook to include everybody,” Lockett says.

“So in one chapter, you  might read a thought provoking quote from Moz’s Rand Fishkin, but in another chapter, you will experience a powerful quote from Anthony Frasier from The Phat Startup or read a case study about Black and Sexy TV, on building a video brand online,” Lockett continues.  “There are so many great stories of people of color in the digital space, I felt that more people should be exposed to their stories and learn from them.”  

Whether you’re a CEO of a startup, a social media professional, or a person just trying to figure this thing called digital marketing “So You Think You Know Content Marketing” is a fun, engaging read that will help develop your content and engage your audience, which will lead towards greater profits, growth and a better understanding of content marketing.

KevinLockett.com: Set Goals with a Vision Board on Pinterest





Besides my  pop culture blog Music is My Soul , here's a taste of my Digital/Social Media blog, KevinLockett.com:

....outside of a few social media jobs and my “Favorite Jheri Curls” board, I have done very little on Pinterest.


For brands like Home Depot and GQ Magazine, Pinterest is a great tool to promote products and it’s also a great way find images on your own interests, interior design, books ,fashion, etc.

However, Pinterest and I have never really clicked on a regular basis…That is until the idea of the vision board came along, and I logged in for the first time in months!

As I sat there looking at my blank virtual board, I had no idea what to put on it.

Should I focus on short-term or long-term goals?

Should these images be realistic or something that seems out of reach out, but could actually happen one day?

I always had aspirations to visit New York City, so I found a picture of a NYC skyline and repinned.

My Pinterest vision board had officially started.
