Authority Marketing: How to Leverage 7 Pillars

When you think of marketing what comes to mind? I’m betting it’s not an authority marketing system.

I know this because when people come to me needing marketing help they have a specific solution in mind, which they hope is a silver bullet to solve their business problem.

And sometimes gimmicks or marketing tactics can be effective but they’re not a long-term solution.

Authority Marketing: How to Leverage 7 Pillars of Thought Leadership to Make Competition Irrelevant

That’s why I love Authority Marketing from authors Adam Witty and Rusty Shelton. It’s a straightforward how-to for building a sustainable marketing strategy for your business.

The big idea with building authority as a marketing strategy (and marketing in general), is it starts with the end in mind—you build your strategy around reaching your business or personal goals and take a systemized approach to achieving them. It’s calm. I love calm.

Witty and Shelton take their readers on a no-nonsense journey through the why’s and what’s before diving into the how’s. Broken into seven pillars, their marketing approach mirrors mine in many ways.

  • Branding/Omnipresence
  • Lead generation
  • Content marketing
  • PR and media
  • Speaking
  • Events
  • Referral marketing

I think the most important thing to notice is these are seven pillars, not seven stand-alone items you can try sometimes. It’s seven elements you need to have working systematically in order to keep your marketing machine running.

And yes, that seems like a lot of work. Because it is. And you don’t get all seven pillars up and running overnight—it’s a long game. You identify your goals, you build your strategy, you devise ways to implement these seven pillars and then you systemize it so it’s sustainable.

This is such an amazing process and once you have all the pieces in place it is awe-inspiring to see how well it works. Trust me on this, if you want a comprehensive overview of what a long-term, sustainable marketing strategy looks like, Authority Marketing is an excellent place to start.

The big idea with building authority as a marketing strategy (and authority marketing in general), is it starts with the end in mind—you build your strategy around reaching your business or personal goals and take a systemized approach to achieving them. It's organized, focused and calm. I love calm.
