The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same?
Promote your blog I had to go to Toronto for a business meeting last Thursday and on the commuter train on the way there I had time to think about how an Internet-based business that revolves around blogs is different than any other model that came before it. I’ve done business with people I’ve ever met and never even talked to and strangely enough that impersonal aspect can be offset by Instant Messaging and even Skype for those who want to use it. ...

Promote your blog If you’re like me then you see all the technology that’s available today with a twinkle in your eye. And the truth is that I’m no technical wizard (I even wrote my first few blogs long hand on a notepad at the local library) so it’s not that I understand all those wonderful things that the Twitter and WordPress Plugins and other gizmos can do for promotion; to be honest I’m just hoping to tap a vein in the Internet that’s full of ...

Promote your blog It should come as no surprise that the body of any email marketing message is one of the most important parts that needs to be analyzed. Once the template and picture have done their jobs and captured the reader’s attention, the body of the message needs to contain the information that will close the deal. Here’s what goes into the body of a successful email marketing message. The benefits need to play the biggest role. People won’t ...
Continue readingEnough Already: Write Well And The Rest Will Follow
Blogging I just finished reading an article that compared blog readers to four distinct animal groups. This article described ways that you could appeal to each group and draw them into your blog with subtle and not so subtle changes to your content. The other day I read that keyword density was really a thing of the past and now the latest method to tweak the search engines is something called keyword variation. It seems that keywords are not as ...

Blogging There are reasons for not wanting to start a blog to increase traffic to your website but none of them are good. People say they don’t have the time to write the fresh copy on a constant basis that will get them the rankings they need. Well, that’s what ghost writers are for. Some say they only have limited ideas to write about. Again, that’s the job of the ghost writer. To supply both the words and ideas. See the path to better search ...

The concept here is to never shut down or give yourself a rest from the possibilities ...

Blogging It’s not enough to know about seo and how links work if you want sustained traffic. It was never just about placing those keywords at just the right density if you were really interested in getting people to bookmark your site. And even just using all the latest technology like website video marketing and social media won’t get people to hang around unless you know how to write and what people want from the reading they do on the Internet. ...
Continue readingSales Copy Versus The Personal Blog: Pick One That Suits You
Promote your blog Like any other good discussion there are people on both sides of what I like to call the sales copy versus personal blog debate. I write both for different clients so I can see the benefits of each and how they suit different needs. Blogs Not Articles Remember this is about blogs not articles. There’s generally a two hundred to two hundred and fifty word generally agreed on limit here so which ever style you choose you need to be concise and ...

Blogging I thought I’d leave the technical aspects behind this time around and write a column about what a typical day is like for me. I’ve worked full time blogging and writing other kinds of content for about six years now, and while I also edit all kinds of manuscripts to supplement my income, search engine optimized content is what pays the mortgage on my home. A Good Hectic Living First off, if you think you might like a job writing on the ...

Promote your blog Although there are a small percentage of people who think otherwise, article marketing has become a real pillar and one of the ways that the savvy Internet business owners get the traffic they need. And they are effective in part because they are different from the other methods of advertising that have been used before the Internet became an economic force. Consumers Looking for Useful Information You need to remember that the consumer on the ...
