Today, content is the most valuable asset for every business to tell its story to the world. That’s why generating content is not enough. The content also has to be fact-rich. To help writers who often run out of content ideas, Melanie Deziel has written the best content marketing book, “The Content Fuel Framework”. Deziel has designed a framework that writers should follow to generate ideas.
The ten focus contexts provided in “The Content Fuel Framework” allow writers and marketers to think of content ideas from a broader perspective already applied in the real world.
Content Fuel Framework = Focus+Format
The award-winning author’s book helps you to design engaging content with the formula: Focus+Format. The proposed framework in the book is useful for every content writer who wants to create informative content for their audience. Melanie has broken down the framework into ten focuses, ten formats, some multipliers, and other effective content creation tips.
When you read this short marketing book (190 pages), you get a clear idea of the basic content concept as she has given a lot of value to the description of the 10 focuses. You will read Deziel’s description of each type of focus with lots of examples, which will help you generate better content.
With over 15 years of experience, Deziel created this helpful content marketing framework to help marketers focus on generating multiple ideas per topic in a simple and fun way. This book is a good addition to your toolkit for creating effective content for years to come.
By dissecting the steps which most marketers take when creating story ideas, Deziel cuts down the whole process and makes it accessible for all. This is not a book about the fundamentals of marketing but more about how to focus on your ideas and story of content.
