I have been focusing on Pinterest lately. So right now, I would say that my content marketing plan for the rest of the year, is to write blog posts that match my pin boards and make and post pins for them. Then, I will assess how well that worked and create a new one for next year.

Hi, Jeanine! That’s very interesting – creating posts that go along with your pins. We make plans to assess the results at the end of each year or month or quarter (depending on how we want them measured). It’s like measuring our performance vs. the goals we set.
Thanks! Glad to hear your input. 🙂
