The 5 Ws (and an H) of Content Marketing

Over the years, I’ve repeatedly seen a major disconnect between real writers being able to find real work (without having to low-ball on bidding sites), and the brands and agencies who are looking for real talent.

Today I want to talk about the who, what, where, why, when and how of content marketing. So let’s dive right in.
