focus	on	establishing	authority	and	a	large,	engaged	audience	consisting	of
      consumers	of	their	services.
      A	company	in	a	highly	competitive	international	market	may	need	to	spend
      money	on	promotion	and	advertising	to	get	their	message	through.
      An	individual	starting	a	blog	might	seek	a	true	balance	of	all	six	factors	but
      concentrate	on	writing	highly	shareable	content	and	building	a	heroic
      personal	brand	that	leads	to	fanatic	supporters	and	business	benefits.

   So	 the	 best	 way	 to	 use	 this	 book	 is	 to	 take	 a	 dive	 into	 all	 six	 pools	 and	 see
what	fits	for	your	particular	situation.	You	don’t	necessarily	need	to	work	on	all
six	factors	to	make	progress.	Pick	out	one	or	two	that	fit	your	business	situation
and	 capabilities,	 and	 you	 certainly	 will	 be	 better	 prepared	 for	 the	 future	 than
your	competitors!	Most	of	the	ideas	in	the	book	are	accessible	to	companies	big
and	small.

   While	 the	 BADASS	 thing	 is	 awesome	 and	 perhaps	 a	 useful	 mnemonic
device,	 I	 actually	 start	 the	 deep	 dive	 on	 this	 subject	 of	 content	 ignition	 with	 an
“S”—shareability—because	 I	 believe	 it’s	 vital	 enough	 that	 nearly	 every
business,	 brand,	 or	 individual	 needs	 to	 work	 on	 it.	 Building	 shareability	 into
your	 content	 may	 be	 the	 most	 important	 concept	 in	 the	 book.	 After	 all,	 what
good	is	all	that	content	if	people	won’t	share	it?
