Over Planning Can KILL Your Content Marketing
We see a lot of experts, gurus and people who should know better sharing yesterday's advice. We've read thousands of words about the importance of goal setting, planning and objectives for content marketing.

People talk about creating content marketing calendars and planning everything to within an inch of your life. Good luck with that. Might have worked 3 years ago, but today's social / mobile / connected world means you need to become a NOWIST.

This Curagami post embeds the influential Joy Ito TED talk about becoming a Nowist by pulling from the network to meet demand. Your content needs to do the same.

AND You need to digitally listen. We riff a few paragraphs about what it means to digitally listen such as FOLLOWING those who follow you, Retweeting and curating content from your customers and brand advocates.

Next time you read 1,000 words on planning your "content calendar" STOP and read this Curagami post so you don't over plan your content marketing.

Joy Ito's TED Talk & his new principles of innovation: power of pull, compass not plans. learning over education explain Nowist Innovation In A New World.

We love Ito's Principles of Innovation:
* Power of Pull - draw as needed don't stock.
* Compass over Plans - plans are too costly to use.
* Learning over Eduction - learning is something you do, eduction is something the do to you.

We shared our list of elemental "compass readers" too:
* Strong.

* Wean.
* Electromagnetism.
* Gravity.

Some of those you want to empower, others you want to limit their damage. Want to innovate today? Better become a NOWIST.
