A Short Story
You’re a successful content marketer, corporate blogger, social media manager, or whatever the title of the month is for the dedicated new media expert on-hand. You’ve invested a lot of time and effort into building a valuable marketing channel your company. You were trusted by management to go off and do your own [...]
Back when I was just getting started blogging I made a mistake that I think many new bloggers make – I started blogging about blogging because I wanted to share my excitement, my new experiences with my developing audience.
Most new bloggers who get sucked into that morass quickly veer into another vapid tangent, [...]
On Friday last week I wrote about why bloggers hate marketers. I can’t tell you the number of articles I’ve read about marketers who simply don’t understand bloggers and how awful most marketers are at trying to utilize bloggers as promotional instruments.
What none of these bloggers talk about, however, is the subject of why marketers [...]
There’s a great post on LifeHack today by Dustin Wax about "How To Get a Blogger To Promote Your Product." I originally began this blog entry as a comment on LifeHack in response to Dustin, but it quickly became evident that I’d need to dedicate an entire post to the subject.

ASP.NET (Data layers, Facebook.NET, Phalanger),
general blogging concepts (headlines, saving articles),
blogging specifically for businesses,
Facebook Applications & Social Media concepts,
general website management issues (hosting), or
business concepts and entrepreneurship?
Every time I write a post [...]
I’ve been due for a post about blogging for a while, and sorry I’m a bit behind. I spent the better part of this weekend getting Community Server 2007 (express edition) to work on my new blog, which I will be promoting in a couple of weeks.
In this post I’d like to discuss the influences [...]
The headline is not an exaggeration. I went from about 100 unique visits a day to 2000+ unique visits a day as a result of changing the way I wrote my headlines and it’s only been a week or two since I started improving them.
The first thing that my new headlines did was make it [...]
