He&#8217;s the founder of multiple content-marketing businesses, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetilt.com\/\">The Tilt<\/a> (website, newsletter, publishing services) and the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/cex.events\/\">Content Entrepreneur Expo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His latest book, &#8220;The Content Entrepreneur,&#8221; is a 40-chapter guide from 33 seasoned content marketers. Topics include choosing a content niche, technology and platforms, audience-building, revenue channels, and long-term growth. The book is available in hardcover ($45), paperback ($25), and as an ebook ($10).<\/p>\n<p>I asked Pulizzi about the book, the industry, authorship, and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practical Ecommerce:<\/strong> What&#8217;s a content entrepreneur?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Joe Pulizzi:<\/strong>\u00a0A content entrepreneur is a mini media company. This means first building an audience that knows, likes, and trusts you. What are the members&#8217; pain points? What keeps them up at night? If you solve their challenges consistently, you&#8217;ll be a content entrepreneur in no time. Produce a compelling newsletter, podcast, or YouTube show. Then monetize.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It&#8217;s different from launching a product \u2014 the content <em>is<\/em> the product, but you can&#8217;t make money until you build the right audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">An entrepreneur&#8217;s life has crazy ups and downs \u2014 tremendous successes and incredible failures on the same day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1537914\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetilt.com\/revenue\/content-entrepreneur-book-model\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1537914\" class=\"wp-image-1537914\" title=\"&quot;The Content Entrepreneur&quot; book cover with photo of Joe Pulizzi\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pulizzi-cover-with-headshot-copy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;The Content Entrepreneur&quot; book cover with photo of Joe Pulizzi\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pulizzi-cover-with-headshot-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pulizzi-cover-with-headshot-copy-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pulizzi-cover-with-headshot-copy.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1537914\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Pulizzi, publisher of &#8220;The Content Entrepreneur&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>PEC:<\/strong> Why publish &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetilt.com\/revenue\/content-entrepreneur-book-model\">The Content Entrepreneur<\/a>&#8220;?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Pulizzi:<\/strong> My VIP group from Content Entrepreneur Expo wanted to collaborate on a project. We believed a resource was needed for content entrepreneurs. We met at CEX 2023 and assembled 33 authors to create the book, which we launched before CEX 2024 in early May.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Collaboration among 33 contributors is incredibly difficult. I wouldn&#8217;t recommend it. Luckily, we have a group of content pros who know their areas well. Most are authors in their own right. A fantastic editorial and project management team through Tilt Publishing made it happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PEC:<\/strong> You&#8217;ve now published seven books since 2008 on content marketing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Pulizzi:<\/strong> The book business has changed. Most authors assume they must publish and sell through external channels. That&#8217;s no longer the case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Affordable technology can create amazing book experiences without a traditional publisher <em>and<\/em> sell directly from authors&#8217; websites. Why create an audience and send members elsewhere to buy the book? It makes no sense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I created Tilt Publishing to help authors create excellent books and then sell them directly to subscribers, fans, and followers. It&#8217;s essential for long-term success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Tilt Publishing is a hybrid \u2014 not a traditional publisher but not a vanity (custom) press, either. We assist with the backend editing, design, and distribution. Authors no longer need publishers for credibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Yet books <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/favorite-books-of-ecommerce-pros-q2-2024\">remain vital<\/a>. The data doesn&#8217;t lie. In 2023, almost 1 billion books were sold worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">A nonfiction book is a content entrepreneur&#8217;s mission statement. What do I stand for? What do I believe?<\/p>\n<p><strong>PEC:<\/strong> What&#8217;s the future of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/ai-search-cookieless-ads-boost-content-marketing\">content marketing<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Pulizzi:<\/strong> Innovative companies will continue focusing on building or buying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/ai-search-cookieless-ads-boost-content-marketing\">their own audiences<\/a>. Ads will never go away. They serve a purpose and still work. But why rent when you can own? To own, you need to tell a compelling story. If you do it well, you can dominate your industry. It&#8217;s not a bad place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Pulizzi says authors no longer need traditional publishers to sell books.
