what is content seeding?
DESCRIPTION
The first thing about content seeding is to select a title for the content which would appeal to the target audience. The second is the initial group the content would be posted into (in this case a specialist group within LinkedIn). Content seeding in the right content in the right places is a process which takes comparatively little time, but can dramatically expand the audience for a particular piece of content.TRANSCRIPT

• Rather than placing the actual content in these places, a link back to the original content is used.
