Joe Pulizzi, a renowned content marketing expert and author, shares valuable insights into building a sustainable content strategy in this conversation. Known for pioneering content marketing approaches and founding Content Marketing Institute, Joe dives into what it takes to create a loyal audience and a profitable brand. He emphasizes the importance of starting with a single, focused niche and committing to consistency, cautioning against spreading too thin across platforms early on.
Joe advises creators to develop a routine with consistent posting and to engage actively with others in their field by commenting on relevant content. This strategy, he explains, is crucial to gaining visibility and driving organic growth, especially for those starting out. As creators build traction, Joe encourages them to consider “paying to play,” putting ad dollars behind their best-performing content to reach broader audiences. He highlights that while content creation is essential, devoting 75% of one’s time to content promotion and community engagement will ultimately lead to greater success and, ideally, easier monetization.

Tori Dunlap, founder of *Her First $100K* and the bestselling author of *Financial Feminist*, who shares her expertise on organic growth, audience engagement, and brand building. Tori delves into her philosophy of "serve before you sell," explaining why businesses should focus on providing value before asking anything of their audience. She emphasizes that creating trust through valuable content—not simply promoting products—is the foundation of a loyal community. Tori also highlights the importance of narrowing down a brand’s message and voice to resonate deeply with a target audience, as trying to appeal to everyone often results in a diluted brand identity.
As the conversation progresses, Tori explains her strategic use of automated messaging for identifying and engaging her most loyal followers, which allows her to tailor content and even upsell products based on their engagement level. She discusses the value of moving followers from social media to platforms she owns, like email lists or her podcast, so she’s not reliant on the algorithms for business stability. Tori concludes by stressing the significance of being authentic and even polarizing in her messaging, which helps attract a committed audience aligned with her values and vision. For those looking to grow a community or launch a brand, Tori’s approach provides practical insights into cultivating an engaged audience that’s built on trust and shared values.
