Vertical Measures’
Hub & Spoke Model
@ArnieK #LeadsCon
Boring Industry?
Not Sexy!
@ArnieK #LeadsCon
● Don’t ask “What can you write
about?” Ask “What questions do
you get asked every day”
● Do not gamble your success
on creating cute, clever, fun
content. Produce content people
are ACTUALLY searching for!
Every Moment is a
Content Opportunity
