The Top 10 Best Content Marketing Books To Read in 2024

Let's discuss ten of the very best content marketing books. I’ve used content marketing as a core strategy to build six and seven figure businesses. It’s a very well established approach for attracting an audience and establishing trust with that audience.

It’s grown in popularity over the last decade or so - especially as it’s become easier and easier to publish articles, videos, podcasts, and other forms of content. And as a result, there are some really great resources that can help you get started.

Do you have a favorite business or marketing book that you'd like to see covered here in the future?

[nessalvez]

How come this doesn't have more views? Thank you for the tips!

[elyanfi]

You deserve way more views, the content and quality are 10/10

Love the video! Quick tip: add a de-breath plugin to whatever audio software you are using to record your voice because the breaths can get distracting when someone is that close to the mic. I recommend RX7 or WAVES they both have great de-breath plugins, although whatever software your using might have a stock built in one.

Your TOP 10 videos indeed help in search of great books, thanks :)

[ethann]

Thanks for all these tips I’m writing a fantasy book and plan to make it a series of books. Me and some of my freinds are planning to build a business around the book and it’s series then expand. What would you recommend most for online shop/ website building/marketing and book marketing?

Thanks for taking your time to read this

Sir please make a video on specifically mobile marketing and social media marketing specifically (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and.... etc). Please please please please make a video specifically this topic🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.(from India)

[elavmedia]

7:41 It was definitely the “why” for me. I love books. However, I do find myself preferring the audio version these days. I just finished the podcast and it IS DEFINITELY the “why”.

If you can share Audible links to audio versions I will DEFINITELY use them to support this channel.

I hope you see this comment as valuable feedback (it's meant to be), although part of the following might sound harsh:

5:34 "WHY" ist the most important? Let me be direct and realistic: I really couldn't care less WHY you're doing these book reviews. I'm interestest in the books and their content. I do not care about your story, I do not care about you, I just care about finding the best book for myself. Ultimatly I care about myself, like most people/customers do. Please get me right: I do care about other people, I consider myself pretty social, friendly, etc.
My experience is that most people simply don't care about the WHY. I believe the statement "people buy WHY you do it" is only applicable in very specific contexts.

Apart from that criticism, I'm also commenting to say thank you!

Your video was very helpful in multiple ways: First, it answered my question "which books are really useful to me?". Second I found it inspiring to see your video because of your presentation style, the background, lighting, sound quality, clarity of speech, etc. This is professional stuff, I like it!

Thanks again
