In the 1990′s and early 2000′s, many businesses looked to SEO agencies to drive traffic to their site. While SEO companies still exist in the 2010′s, you’ve probably noticed that another type of agency has become even more prevalent: the content marketing agency.

John Rampton over on Forbes.com has written a handy guide to creating your own content marketing business. He covers the following main points:

  • Clearly define your niche
  • Offer a range of services for every budget
  • Consider taking the consulting path
  • Market your own business with content
  • Decide whether to hire in-house or utilize freelancers
  • Build out your case studies and testimonials
  • Differentiate yourself by collecting your own market data and research

If you're looking at specialising in content marketing, or offering it as an add-on to your current services, this article is a great starting point.
