The Marketing Book Podcast
Salma Jafri, Video Content Strategist and Owner of Salma Jafri Media, joins the Content Pros Podcast to discuss why and how she starts her entire content strategy with video first.
Video Above All Else
Video Above All ElseFor Salma, a successful content strategy doesn’t start with blogging or a website. It starts with video.
Forming an entire content strategy around one medium may sound limiting, but she has found it to be anything but restrictive. The rich visual aspect of the medium allows for incorporation of different media such as text, audio, gifs, or even memes. It also more readily lends itself to upcycling into a wide variety of supporting material. This keeps your content fresh and exciting in the era of short attention spans.
Video is also a format that gets rewarded by social platforms. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other content dissemination tools love it if you can get somebody to linger on their site.
If your video-first strategy results in viewers lingering just a few seconds more, you will be rewarded with better ranking. This gets you more views which leads to even better rankings, and suddenly you’re locked in the content bump cycle of your dreams. All thanks to a strategy that puts video above all else.

- How focusing on help, hero, and hub content leads to a stellar content strategy model
- Why upcycling content means starting with the richest format and letting content spin-off from there

Content Pros Lightning Round
What are you watching on Netflix these days that’s got you hooked? I’m not watching Netflix at all because I’m on YouTube watching fashion content and Jamie Oliver.
What’s your comfort zone when it comes to all the traveling you do? The East is absolutely more laid back. It’s more cultural. It’s more laid back because there’s an ‘anything goes’ mentality. I just have a ton of fun when I travel far east.
