This is my second attempt at writing this post this evening. The first was rudely interrupted by a power cut. I think it’s time to thinking about a UPS and a more robust backup solution…
So it’s time for blogs of the week again! Your weekly fix of what’s hot in the Internet Marketing world and who we should be keeping an eye on. To be honest, I’ve found it harder than normal this week to pick good quality posts out of the many that I’ve read, although I think you’ll enjoy the five that I’ve found.
Where Will You Be In 100 Days? – This is an interesting and very timely post from Connie Ragen Green where she’s challenging people to drive their businesses forward over the next 100 days. It’s interesting to me both because it coincides with a push to deliver better content on my blogs, and also as she mentions mentoring. I’ve been asked in the past to mentor several people and have always said yes. In each case I’ve requested that they perform a few simple tasks so that I can be certain that they’re serious and I usually never hear from them again. That changed this week when I was overwhelmed by the sincerity and commitment shown to me by somebody looking for a mentor. I won’t mention him by name here, but I know that he’ll be making a name for himself in the very near future!
Ebooks And Affiliate Marketing Go Hand In Hand – I’m a big believer that we can all have whatever we want in life as long as we’re willing to put in the work. It doesn’t have to be hard though, as Connie Ragen Green explains in this great post.
How To Write A Killer Blog Post – This is a great guest post on SearchEngineJournal.com. We all like to think that we write great posts, but if we’re honest with ourselves we often could do better. This post breaks everything down into the component parts that are important and I believe we can all learn from this. Check it out!
Remember These 5 Copywriting Formulas – Michel Fortin is an incredible copywriter so when he gives copywriting tips, I listen, and I would recommend that you do too! In this post, he pulls together 5 top techniques for writing great copy, all of which link onto more comprehensive content. I’ve printed it all out and added it to my copywriting file before he realizes what he’s giving us and starts charging for this great content.
SEO being trademarked, AGAIN!?! – Finally, this post caught my eye yesterday. Apparently, someone’s actually trying to trademark the term “SEO”, even though he seems vague about what SEO really means. Have a read – it’s actually quite funny!
