Are your marketing processes working like they should? Are you uncertain what to do with ROT: redundant, outdated and trivial content? Every marketer we know struggles with these issues, especially as the content they are publishing is exploding. Enter digital governance. Lisa Welchman joined our recent #CMWorld Twitter chat to cover this very important yet often misunderstood process.

A1:Digital governance:a discipline that supports more effective collaboration by clarifying decision-making for digital development #CMWorld
@lwelchman
A1: Clarifying who has authority over things like editorial standards is an example of a digital governance concern #CMWorld
@lwelchman
A1: @MarciaRJohnston’s specialty! #CMWorld
@Atomic_Reach
A1: Digital governance is a great way to clearly communicate all standards, stakeholders, hierarchies, etc. around digital comms #CMWorld
@Mr_McFly
A1: How you manage your digital content. Matters a lot because without a plan to do so, can create a headache of chaos. @CMIContent #CMWorld
@chelseajanea
@mikemyers614 I like “guardrails” we use that world when we talk about digital policy #CMWorld
@lwelchman
Yes,@lwelchman – I think this happens WAY to often, unfortunately. #CMWorld
@chelseajanea
A1 A Guiding Authority for all of your #Digital activities #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/702177354865467392
@varunkr842
@lwelchman Thanks, I’d hate to see anyone end up in a digital field or something! #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@lwelchman @mikemyers614 “guardrails” is a good term. It suggests there is still some creative license. #CMWorld
@SocialAmyW
@Mr_McFly @ChristinKardos awww is that Max? #cmworld
@CMIContent
@michelelinn do you use any tools to help this process along? #CMWorld
@Atomic_Reach
A1) Compliance to integrity in the digital world. #cmworld Good morning, folks!
@Serious_Vanity
@lwelchman Well, that’s the goal for at least for the next hour or so… 🙂 #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
Solid analogy for digital governance. ? #CMWorld https://twitter.com/mikemyers614/status/702177911558766595
@CrowdContent
A2: Digital governance problems are equal opportunity concerns. Everyone’s got them. Everyone needs help #CMWorld
@lwelchman
Set of policies & processes designed to guide & direct how digital content mgt & eCommerce systems are used to satisfy objectives #Cmworld
@T4Leonard
@renepower the challenge is knowing what is the right thing for the brand. Need the guidelines so rest of the company can follow #cmworld
@ScottLum
A2: I would think so. If you don’t set expectations people will make them up. #CMWorld
@SocialAmyW
@Atomic_Reach I am honestly working hard to figure all of this out now. Use mostly manual methods but would love tool ideas #cmworld
@michelelinn
A2; Yes, everyone can benefit from thinking about digital governance. Big or small, everyone needs to know the plan. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
Ohhh, I like this definition too! @mikemyers614 @CrowdContent #CMWorld
@chelseajanea
@SocialAmyW have you seen this happen? A lack of expectations?? #cmworld
@CMIContent
@T4Leonard both are so important. #cmworld
@CMIContent
@CMIContent I ❤ the orange slides for each question. #CMWorld
@MarciaRJohnston
A2: Absolutely – even if your company is small, knowing how to manage what you’ve got as you grow is crucial. @CMIContent #CMWorld
@chelseajanea
@CMIContent A2: definitely, all they need is to define their audience & plan how to market their services #CMWorld
@DaljeetkKaur
@MarciaRJohnston you know you put this in motion! We have you to thank! #cmworld
@CMIContent
@CMIContent A2: Definitely, as long as you find what process works best for your organization! #CMWorld!
@ExperianDQSteph
A2: Digital governance is important for any organization so the members understand what’s acceptable & what’s not in changing world #cmworld
@ScottLum
@TheDigitalChic @michelelinn we feel that way every day. She’s pretty spectacular. #cmworld
@CMIContent
A2: Most DO benefit. It’s risky to assume that everyone knows how to conduct themselves/represent the company in the digital space #CmWorld
@postbeyond
A2: Yes, every kind of organization could benefit. After all, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” 🙂 #CMWorld
@NimlokChicago
@CMIContent It seems like there is a story about somebody going rogue every day. Yelp is my current fav. #CMWorld
@SocialAmyW
A2: But my rules don’t have to be your rules…make them work for your #brand, #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A2: In order for an org to benefit from digital governance, it must pass this test: Are you an org? Y/N? #CMWorld https://t.co/tx2IqdEOLH
@Mr_McFly
A2: Yes, everyone can benefit from it. You need to have some sort of plan in place. #CMWorld
@ExpWriters
A1) Digital governance = accountability #CMWorld
@garytaylorceo
@CMIContent A1. Establishing the Power of governance through internet. #CMWorld
@sabjanseo
@Mr_McFly that gif is on point #cmworld
@CMIContent
A2) You can never have too much accountability within an organization. #CMWorld
@garytaylorceo
A2: Unless their content plan only consists of yellow pages or flyers, Yes! #CMWorld
@bendgibbons
@SocialAmyW @CMIContent Oh yea, that too 🙂 #CMWorld
@atxcopywriter
Definitely customize to your brand. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/mikemyers614/status/702179799809314816
@JeremyBednarski
@CMIContent Thanks! #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
A2- Yes no matter how big or small the org is, it should have someone appointed to oversee all digital communications #CMWorld
@VanessaLeBeau2
@CMIContent Got the idea from @Atomic_Reach. 🙂 #cmworld
@MarciaRJohnston
@robchristianson multitasking during tweetchats is impossible. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
A2) Sometimes businesses practice risky behaviors online based on something they learned 10 yrs ago. Important to stay up to date! #CMWorld
@CrowdContent
@CMIContent For sure. It’s a framework of standards & benefits suited to the organization, big or small, non-profit or for-profit. #CMWorld
@tweetcargo
@JeremyBednarski @mikemyers614 Right. What works for your brand may definitely not work for the next. Good thing to keep in mind #CMWorld
@hkovs
So digital governance is like a style guide for your whole online presence? New to the term #CMWorld
@atxcopywriter
A3: Update popular content to be current, remove anything that won’t matter to your prospects or clients. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@atxcopywriter Me too. I’m going to follow this thread. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
A3: A lot of teams really don’t know what they’ve got online. How can you clean up what you don’t know about? #CMWorld
@lwelchman
As a solopreneur writer I don’t have much to add to the governance convo! #CMWorld
@suddenlyfrugal
A3: Stop Googling & regurgitating things that are already written. #CMWorld @CMIContent
@chelseajanea
A3: Content atomization is a good start. Look at what you have, how can you update? Optimize for other channels? #cmworld
@shawn_turner1
A3: Just like in my basement, the first step to getting rid of the old is an audit, you need to know what you have. #basementaudit #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A2: everyone benefits from digital gov, from big agencies to freelancers. #CMWorld
@JS_insidepitch
@michelelinn Good question! #CMWorld
@SocialAmyW
I love it when a plan comes together #digitalgovernance #cmworld https://t.co/XycderVC32
@renepower
A3: Oh, thank you, something I know! Two words–content edit! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/702180392858587136
@suddenlyfrugal
@mikemyers614 I like to do a yearly audit. It’s a great way to start fresh. Like cleaning out the basement. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
Strive for content that is more timeless so it won’t be outdated so quickly. #cmworld
@CTrappe
@MarciaRJohnston @CMIContent nope. #CMWorld
@JS_insidepitch
@michelelinn That’s my question. #CMWorld
@ShakirahDawud
Putting it into #contentmarketing terms. Love it! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/atxcopywriter/status/702180517865607168
@CrowdContent
Whether or not content is trivial is in the eye of the beholder. #cmworld
@CTrappe
@CTrappe I find this impossible in digital industry. Things move too fast for evergreen content. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@mikemyers614 is smashing it today A2: But my rules don’t have to be your rules…make them work for your #brand, #CMWorld
@renepower
@CMIContent A3: I would recommend to update content or take small pieces of content & share with new titles & blurbs #CMWorld
@DaljeetkKaur
@CMIContent A2: Sounds like needed more at big bizs with lots of moving parts. But never hurts to have more org for small guys too #CMWorld
@atxcopywriter
Does my ROT offer ROI? LOL. No. #cmworld
@CTrappe
A3: When evaluating your content, ask, “Why would my audience care about this?” If you struggle to answer, rethink your strategy. #CMWorld
@NimlokChicago
@CMIContent Yeah, I’m like a …a… I’ve got nothing for this one. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
Answer to Q3: Encourage experience, not the motionless stare. #CMWorld @CMIContent https://t.co/oizReEBqQF
@isq
@suddenlyfrugal I thought so at first, but I do have a lot of old posts that don’t fit with my current brand image. #whattodo #cmworld
@ShakirahDawud
A3 having a comprehensive content inventory that you review quarterly is a great way to avoid/deal with ROT. #CMworld
@SFerika
@MaureenOnPoint What kinds of info do you track in your yearly audit? How much time does it take? #cmworld
@michelelinn
A1. A digital governance framework should define accountability, roles & decision-making authority for your org’s various channels #CMWorld
@jgombita
A3: With rapid changes in our digital/social/mobile world, we need a person or group that evaluates the guidelines regularly #cmworld
@ScottLum
A3: When you have knowledge of your topic & confidence in your story share that, not the trifles. #CMWorld
@bendgibbons
A3: I’d make an 80’s style PSA about friends not letting friends create bad content, but I’m a smart ass. #CMWorld https://t.co/n31C0DgTLE
@Mr_McFly
Especially if you’ve got multiple teams publishing things: marketing, sales, etc. #CMWorld @lwelchman
@chelseajanea
@chelseajanea @CMIContent Use Google to see what’s already out there. Then do something different. #CMWorld
@JeremyBednarski
@shawn_turner1 When you say atomization what do you mean? #CMWorld
@ShakirahDawud
You guys, I miss #CMWorld so much. Work gets in the way but I just want to hang w/the club #DontYouForgetAboutMe https://t.co/m5HJPU4MTn
@eccushing
A3) If your older content embarrasses you, that’s OK. Decide if anyone is landing on it. If they are, keep it. If not, pull it. #CMWorld
@garytaylorceo
I’ve started using old blog posts that nobody finds now on LinkedIn. Don’t tell my LinkedIn friends that they are in my test group. #cmworld
@CTrappe
A3) Try to publish evergreen content going forward to avoid ROT content. To rid older ROT, do a spring content clean. #CMWorld
@CrowdContent
@MaureenOnPoint I need some of your constructive criticism again soon #CMWorld
@T4Leonard
A3b: If you notice a post is getting a lot of hits, but isn’t up to par, make changes! Update it to refresh the content. #CMWorld
@ExpWriters
@Serious_Vanity LOL love it. So true. Its a daunting task but important. Never know what someone will Google! #cmworld
@robchristianson
@Mr_McFly hahaha! Perfect! #CMWorld
@DustinWStout
@hkovs our cmgr has fallen in love with the acronym too lol #cmworld
@CMIContent
@MaureenOnPoint Many of my posts are “ever green.” #cmworld
@CTrappe
A3c: Make time to frequently assess your old content to ensure your readers find only the best! #CMWorld
@ExpWriters
@serinlan ooh, that’s a little too close to the truth right there 🙂 #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@village_print I found that I have been finding my old content that I can repurpose with better ctas. #cmworld
@MissAleCristina
@chelseajanea @CMIContent This would make a good sticky note to append to my monitor. 😉 #CMWorld
@tweetcargo
@shaylaprice great idea as well. #CMWorld
@DustinWStout
@ShakirahDawud @suddenlyfrugal I’m in the same boat, but you likely have your own guidelines. Even if they are unwritten. #CMWorld
@SocialAmyW
@renepower I typically find that @mikemyers614 has smashing ideas #cmworld
@michelelinn
Yes that’s the boat I’m in! 😉 its a full time job that nobody seems to have time to do. #cmworld https://twitter.com/chelseajanea/status/702181270395211776
@robchristianson
@lwelchman Love this insight. #cmworld
@MarciaRJohnston
@chelseajanea @CMIContent Great tip! How have you been able to convince CEOs or MDs that numbers aren’t the be all, end all? #CMWorld
@serinlan
@CMIContent A3: ROT content may damage any business reputation as well #CMWorld
@DaljeetkKaur
The content is evergreener where you water it. #cmworld
@CTrappe
@michelelinn @renepower Shucks. Thanks! #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A3. I’m weary of consultants here. #CMWorld They all pitch the same crap, typically…
@tedbauer2003
@MaureenOnPoint That makes sense; thanks. We look at our pages with most traffic to make sure they are the best they can be #cmworld
@michelelinn
Good advice. Why fix what’s working #CMWorld https://twitter.com/garytaylorceo/status/702181308341100545
@DGGT
@CTrappe Are you writing about enough current topics? Or do you just make an effort to ensure your content is current? #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@CMIContent hahaha can’t wait to share that one with the team #CMWorld 😛 😛
@hkovs
This! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/lwelchman/status/702177697556877312
@mikemyers614
A3. Feel like this is more about keyword research focusing on long-tail, low competition. #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
@CTrappe love this #cmworld
@CMIContent
I look at my analytics to see what draws people to my site, then create or update content accordingly @CTrappe #CMWorld
@suddenlyfrugal
@MaureenOnPoint I write about plenty current topics, but also plenty other things. Mostly other things. I’m not a newspaper. 🙂 #cmworld
@CTrappe
Exactly, @ExpWriters! I’ve seen that audits can be VERY much worth the time they take to complete. #CMWorld
@chelseajanea
@MaureenOnPoint @CTrappe I have content that is still relevant, but no longer fits my brand. It does still bring in traffic, links #cmworld
@ShakirahDawud
@ShakirahDawud Sure! Atomizing means to execute your content in different forms, channels, etc. Make the most of what you got! #cmworld
@shawn_turner1
@lifeofaworkgirl retire is an important one that many sometimes overlook #cmworld
@CMIContent
@tedbauer2003 Great advice! #CMWorld
@Atomic_Reach
@lwelchman Do you suggest having some kind of chart where every piece of content is assigned to someone to own / review? #cmworld
@michelelinn
@CTrappe Right on. I’m envious that you seem to have it dialed in. I’d love to hear some of your tricks! #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@shawn_turner1 Oh! What if you have content that no longer fits your brand, but still brings traffic, links? #CMWorld
@ShakirahDawud
A4. Priorities should, ideally, come from ABOVE in a job. That’s why they make more money. Honestly. #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
A4: This is the one time being in a regulated industry helps. Feel free to use it as an excuse if you want. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A3: The cure for ROT content: Know your company, know what your audience needs, & use this to create content that is useful content #cmworld
@ideakid88
If you get them to trust you to run an ‘experiment’, it’s easy to show them that the numbers & loyalty will follow. #CMWorld @serinlan
@chelseajanea
A4: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Break it up into maybe an hour a day, hopefully across multiple people. #cmworld
@robchristianson
@chelseajanea I couldn’t agree more! You want to ensure people are seeing the best! #CMWorld
@ExpWriters
@CMIContent Hi there! #cmworld
@ideakid88
Totally! You have to know when content is no longer relevant to an audience #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/702181952560963585
@lifeofaworkgirl
OK can we talk jargon then? Why call it governance if it’s just guidelines? That’s easier to get! @SocialAmyW @ShakirahDawud #cmworld
@suddenlyfrugal
A4. When priorities DON’T come from above, the focus needs to be on the highest-ROI items. #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
Truth! Not just bad form but it’s useless if the info is outdated like putting MC Hammer pants on your content! @robchristianson #CMWorld
@Serious_Vanity
@michelelinn @renepower @mikemyers614 The Idea Smasher? Wasn’t he a for of the X-Men? #CMWorld
@bendgibbons
@serinlan Indeed! #cmworld
@ideakid88
A3: By creating evergreen content that can be repurposed ahead of breaking news or current trends. #CMWorld @CMIContent
@TheDigitalChic
A4: I’d like to think that organizations are motivated to do the absolute “best” work all the time. That’s not always the case. #CMWorld
@lwelchman
A3. Have a (digital) content audit, minimum annually. Have a team review all content, some internal, some external (stakeholders) #CMWorld
@jgombita
A4: Fold doc governance into your content calendaring. Ask: Does it apply? Is it driving traffic? How can we make current? #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@bendgibbons @michelelinn @renepower I believe I detected a British accent on this one; you know, smashing! #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A4. Here’s a day-by-day guide to managing priorities at work, actually: http://bit.ly/1JbMnCh #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
A4) It’s not really a task though when it’s imbued in every step of your strategy. #cmworld
@Serious_Vanity
A4: You make governance a priority by linking online quality to goals of the organization so not just quality for quality’s sake #CMWorld
@lwelchman
A4 #CMWorld Block off chunks of time on your calendar dedicated to it. That’s how I get non-urgent projects done https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/702181886928392192
@hidama
We don’t unless we are pretty large. $$ are always prioritized.. If you are 1 or 2 or real big its easy #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/702181886928392192
@T4Leonard
@MaureenOnPoint you are correct, Master. #cmworld #multitaskFail https://t.co/BTnCW02Tsm
@robchristianson
A4: You have to make the case for digital governance by making a business case for a quality online presence. #CMWorld
@lwelchman
@michelelinn Digital marketing is like a metropolitan highway, each piece of information ZOOMS by. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@CMIContent A4: A BRP – big repurposing project #CMWorld
@atxcopywriter
Evergreen content is a must! You don’t want to constantly battle with out dated articles #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CTrappe/status/702180837870198787
@lifeofaworkgirl
@suddenlyfrugal @ShakirahDawud Good point. Maybe governance is a better term for large organizations. #CMWorld
@SocialAmyW
A4. Basically, it all starts with this question: Are you chasing targets/goals, or are you chasing tasks/bullets? #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
A4: Commit 30 minutes a day to figuring it out. You’ll get there & be glad you did. #CMWorld #productivity #priorities @CMIContent
@chelseajanea
@martinlieberman @CMIContent that is taking it a little far… Hip? Really? #CMWorld https://t.co/0LlDQmO13A
@JoelRRenner
@chelseajanea I guess that’s what was missing at my last corporate job–they didn’t trust the experts they’d hired. #CMWorld
@serinlan
@lwelchman yes, there’s pressure to have “stock content” from an internal perspective #CMWorld
@tsledzik
@chelseajanea great tip. Scheduled it then commit. #cmworld
@CMIContent
HA! Great illustration @Serious_Vanity looks like I better have a yard sale. #stop #hammertime #cmworld
@robchristianson
A4: It is necessary for people at the top to understand the importance of #contentmarketing & mktg in general Governance helps that #CMWorld
@Mr_McFly
I’ve seen that as well, however, it depends on your audience. Our industry is constantly changing. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/MissAleCristina/status/702181514348343296
@village_print
A4. Ever worked w/a team who spends more time on ‘leadership’ page than ‘FAQ’ page? No value there. #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
@mikemyers614 Something to be said for Compliance giving a kick in the pants to do so. #CMWorld
@bendgibbons
@suddenlyfrugal That’s great! You’re really making the most of those posts then! #CMWorld
@ExpWriters
A4) Hint – Accountability should always be a TOP priority! #CMWorld
@garytaylorceo
A4: This is a maturity concern. Running digital cost a lot if done properly. There must be a business case. #CMWorld
@lwelchman
@lifeofaworkgirl @ctrappe You’ve both got me curious! How do you create evergreen content in a fast moving industry? #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@bendgibbons Kick, push, whatever. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
#A3 Prune, water, or kill your favs when they stop performing #CMworld
@bduhon
A4. Don’t let deliverables murder strategy: http://bit.ly/19MEQhk #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
@mikemyers614 @bendgibbons @renepower Well, I was eating some marmite when I responded to that (or not as it’s the worst) 🙂 #cmworld
@michelelinn
A4: Fine question, but if you don’t make it a priority what is the price? #CMWorld
@SocialAmyW
Oh yea, definitely been there before! Sucks, doesn’t it? #CMWorld @serinlan
@chelseajanea
A4 Content has to be created with a purpose. It should all contribute to wider business goals – that directs a team. #CMWorld
@lifeofaworkgirl
@MaureenOnPoint Don’t forget to read along: https://t.co/BbzYg2hfUE. I’m an open book… or blog … or whatever… #cmworld
@CTrappe
A4. Convince the revenue-focused top dogs why digital could matter to them. #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
Great Questions! All ears here #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/702181886928392192
@Atomic_Reach
@MaureenOnPoint @CTrappe For some topics, the rules never really change… #CMWorld
@ShakirahDawud
Concepts. Ideas. Personal stories where timing doesn’t matter, etc. #cmworld https://twitter.com/MaureenOnPoint/status/702182808500850688
@CTrappe
A4: Also, prioritizing larger, overall business needs is always at the top of a list. #CMWorld
@Mr_McFly
A4: Sometimes, you just have to do it. It won’t be pretty, but it will get done if you put forth the effort. #CMWorld
@shaylaprice
? #CMWorld https://twitter.com/Mr_McFly/status/702182702729056258
@CrowdContent
@JoelRRenner @CMIContent Yup! #CMWorld https://t.co/xQ0wXbs8HU
@martinlieberman
@chelseajanea I like this idea, but how would you spend those 30 minutes a day best? Sometimes can be tough to know where to start #cmworld
@michelelinn
A3: Or, as @Robert_Rose recently noted, write about what readers don’t yet know they want. #cmworld https://twitter.com/chelseajanea/status/702182636249284608
@MarciaRJohnston
A4. “Ain’t got time for digital priorities! I’m chasing revenue dragons!” #CMWorld

@lwelchman Of course, but most #brands don’t have content strategists yet, so planning. #CMWorld

@serinlan
@MaureenOnPoint @lifeofaworkgirl @ctrappe Everegreen content is geared for fast change at the outset. Think of it as timeless music #cmworld
@ideakid88
A4: KISS – Stay on topic, mindmap/brainstorm angles, start small, be consistent, show up regularly, build on what works #cmworld
@renepower

A5: Being inclusive is key when designing a governing framework. Include people from all areas of the organization. #CMWorld
@lwelchman
@robchristianson Pretty much life at almost every job I’ve held. #CMWorld
@tedbauer2003
A5: The reason you have digital governance problems is because you don’t collaborate effectively #CMWorld
@lwelchman
@ExpWriters Easier said than done, of course. #CMWorld
@MarciaRJohnston
A5; Marketing should drive the car, but everyone has to be represented. Need to have buy-in now to make decisions later. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@suddenlyfrugal Great! Do you have a formula that you use for your content calendar. Business challenges come to mind. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
I think “knowing where to start” is a “problem” whether you have 30 minutes or 3 hours. Just pick someplace & dive in. @michelelinn #CMWorld
@chelseajanea
A5: Being exclusive when designing your digital governance framework is adding fuel to the fire of dysfunctional collaboration. #CMWorld
@lwelchman
Truth. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/lwelchman/status/702183679766888448
