Content Marketing is like publishing — you need an editorial calendar and a bit of discipline. This guest post on Junta42 by Russell Sparkman of Fusionspark Media talks about how frequently you should be doing different elements of your content marketing mix.

7 = Weekly
A new blog post, a short video…
