Content is the basis of EVERYTHING online. Creating your content and then marketing it well is how you profit from your content online.
Create It - The key to successful content creation is to be prolific. What most people do is wind up staring at a blank screen. I don't want you to do what most people do because most people are broke.
Instead of staring at a blank screen I want you to use templates. Create a 7 tips article or a 3 mistakes article. Then all you have to do is fill in the blanks with your information.
Another great way to become prolific is to just write on regular basis. Make it a habit, and you'll find the flow.
Market it - So many people create their content and then do nothing with it. Again, don't be most people.
There are so many ways to market your content that you really can't run out of ideas. Start with your blog. Then post your article on EzineArticles and other top Article Directories.
Next is Social Media. Use your article content or parts of your content on Facebook, YouTube,Twitter and LinkedIn. You can also turn your content into teleseminars and webinars.
Convert it into products and services and sell it - What most people do not realize is that while you are creating your content you are also creating your information products.
For example, a simple 7 tips article expanded on easily becomes a great eBook. In a similar way, a collection of several articles on a specific topic gathered into one document becomes an ebook or mini-guide.
And that's really just getting started. There is so much more you can do. One of the best ways to offer an info product is in multimedia, and you can easily create print, audio and video training from your content.

With all due respect, as someone who regularly reads articles on content marketing, I am moved to say that this article, in my opinion, failed to fulfill the promise of the headline.
The article failed to deliver enough value, and was very light on specifics.
The article was really nothing more than an advertisement for an upcoming webinar.
This blog post, which is itself content marketing, about content marketing, should deliver more value to readers.
I have been a longtime RSS subscriber to "Build a Better Blog", and for the most part I've felt as though the gals running the blog have done a good job of providing value and interesting content.
This ad, I mean article, left me feeling disappointed.

Good article but won't posting the same article on Ezines just flag-up a duplicate content issue and end up getting your blog penalised by Google?

I believe one of the most important challenges before a blogger is figuring out how to enrich and add value to the audience and in so doing to stand out from the pack in a meaningful way.
