Stinking content

Posted: 12 Oct 2009 10:38 PM PDT

creative writerFor all those who are unaware, my ultimate goal as of 12/10/09 is to become a writer. Not a journalist, but a writer. Creative writer, if you may!

Juggling college and writing is not a difficult thing and it shouldn't be! But for any talent to get recognized, polishing it is absolutely essential. And for that very reason, I open my Gmail inbox to find tips and tricks on smart writing everyday! I admit, I have no Chetan Bhagat or Aarvind Adiga in my family to tell me what to do and how to pursue this goal. I have no godfather in the writing business either. But that shouldn't stop me from getting what I want, right?

So, I learn as I go and one of the basic things I ever learnt about writing articles, blogs or any other piece that provides information, is that my content should stink!

Surprised?

Don't be!

Infact, it should stink like fish!

A vegetable market in India, or a sabzi mandi, as many would call it, gives the fish section its due place in the vicinity. Now, people who are new to that place may or may not know where to get their daily requirement of protein from and may get confused looking for shops. But if they are in the Sabzi mandi, they will automatically find the place. How? Because of the stink! That's right! Dead fish sells itself because of it’s stink.

Now, Imagine what my writing can do if it stinks!

To create an impact with words, it is absolutely necessary to have a thorough understanding of the subject and the ability to produce a crisp and precise article targeting the right audience. If you manage to do that, half the battle is won.

Now, I may not be able to make my writing stink in the literal sense of the word, but if I can manage to keep my readers captivated with it, I serve my purpose. That said, I think everything else is pretty much self – explanatory.

Internet Marketing for Smart People

Posted: 12 Oct 2009 08:23 AM PDT

image of Albert Einstein

There's no delicate way to put this. If you're a regular Copyblogger reader, you're just . . . well . . . smarter than most people looking to market online.

You're not interested in lame "get rich quick" schemes. You're not trying to build a business with no work, no time, and no sense. You're not chasing after that magical silver bullet that will solve all your problems.

Mainly, you'd just like some solid, smart advice on online business that actually works.

In other words, you don't have to be an Einstein to "get" this stuff. But you'd have to be an idiot to believe some of the stuff peddled by traditional Internet marketing "gurus" (many of whom have never done what they're "teaching" before).

Copyblogger has been delivering solid, smart advice for nearly four years now, and starting this week, we'd like to take it up a notch.

Oh, and one more thing: we'll be doing that for free.

Introducing Internet Marketing for Smart People

Brian and I have been kicking around the idea of a focused email newsletter for months, but we wanted to make sure we put something together that reflected the high standards we always try to set for the site.

We wanted to create a systematic, simple way that you could get a good grasp of the power of effective online marketing.

We wanted you to have an easy-to-navigate tutorial on the "Copyblogger method" of creating and marketing a profitable online business.

And we wanted a way to make sure that you got a chance to see all of the "best of the best" that's appeared on Copyblogger over the years.

The four pillars of online marketing success

Thinking through what this would look like, we found four themes that kept coming up.

So we created an introduction to the newsletter that works through these four themes, systematically introducing you to the most important concepts we think every online marketer must know about. It's like a course in Internet marketing that prepares you for the more in-depth newsletter content that follows (still all free).

These are the cornerstones of how to build a business with the Copyblogger model, using everything we've learned over the years.

Ready?

Pillar 1: Relationships

Creating strong relationships with an audience is critical to everything we do here. Rather than constantly hunting down new customers, we'd much rather create a valued environment that benefits our existing readers and customers and keeps pulling them back. We don't advertise in the traditional sense; instead, our readers do a great job of "spreading the word" for us.

It's about having consummate respect, always, for your audience and your market.

It's about focusing almost obsessively on their needs, over and above your own (and getting what you want, almost magically, in the process).

It's about making a commitment to creating a quality experience for your readers and subscribers.

Pillar 2: Direct response copywriting

We certainly stay abreast of the latest social media trends (and sometimes create them), but underlying everything we do here is solid copywriting techniques.

Starting with a killer headline and moving strategically through the copy to a stirring call to action, traditional copywriting technique works amazingly well in social media.

"Old-fashioned" copywriting advice can make all the difference between a business or blog that limps along and one that truly thrives.

We'll show you precisely what we mean in the initial issues of the newsletter.

Pillar 3: Content marketing

What's the backbone of the Copyblogger formula?

Deliver great content. Deliver more great content. Deliver still more great content.

Keep doing that in a strategic and focused way.

Every once in awhile, make a great offer that benefits the reader and involves the exchange of cash money.

Of course, we'll give you some more specifics on how to do that once you're on board. :)

Pillar 4: Have something worth selling

Everyone is selling something. It might be a service, a product, a download, or simply an idea.

Whatever you're selling, it's got to be worth the price. (And never forget that reader attention is a valuable commodity that's in strictly limited supply.)

Whether you're asking for dollars, euros, yen, or valuable time and attention, you've got to deliver something that towers above your asking price.

Bringing it all together

Each of these four pillars enhances the others. Together, they're much stronger than they would be if any of the pillars were missing.

Internet Marketing for Smart People is a free course and continual newsletter that's delivered via email. Each week you'll get a new lesson on one of the four pillars.

You'll get lots of pointers to archived Copyblogger content, but with a new frame that will help you "connect the dots" and start putting this advice to work in your own business, web site, or blog. It's much like the approach Brian took with Authority Rules, but ongoing and ever-evolving as the Internet marketing space does (which is fast).

To make it work even better, we'll also be including "behind the scenes" lessons that show you how we put our own marketing systems and launches together, and the role each piece plays.

What you need to do next

Enter your email address here to sign up for the Internet Marketing for Smart People newsletter: 


Email:




It's very important to us that everyone receiving Internet Marketing for Smart People truly wants the course, so we'll need you to confirm that you want to receive it by clicking a confirmation link.

So check your inbox after you sign up (and put us on your white list… we're not spammy at all, but thanks to scuzzball internet marketers, our topic is often viewed that way by the major email services).

And of course we're never going to rent, sell, or otherwise share the information we collect. That would pretty much be a violation of everything we stand for.
