Like the proverbial tree that falls in the forest, is there any value in creating content if no one sees it? That’s a bit of a rhetorical question, but it raises an important issue that Jay and Tom address in episode 101: Should you be putting your content on your website and placing it behind “gates,” or sharing it freely on social media and elsewhere?

As with most issues, the right answer is probably somewhere in the middle. Listen in as Jay and Tom discuss:

• Rented Land v. Owned Land

• Why freely sharing content can lead to more awareness and trust

• Tom’s methodology for structuring a strong blog post
