Call me a copywriting drill sargeant because MarketingProfs has signed me on to sign you up for its Marketing Writing Bootcamp. They’re offering a comprehesnive set of online courses; I’m on board to lead one of them, EBOOKS: Exploring the ebook: What, Why, and HOW on Wednesday, June 22, noon – 1PM ET.

  • Tips for structuring an irresistible ebook that gets shared
  • How to close with a convincing call to action

Check it out on the Marketing Writing Bootcamp site. And watch this blog: in coming weeks, I’ll be able to offer you a discount code that will save you at least $200 on registration fees. Yeah, no kidding. So stay tuned…

Branded Content PR: February 3

What can content do fo your PR strategy? (Marketing, too.) Find out by joining The Gang of Four (me, Diane Thieke of Dow Jones, Joe Pulizzi of the Content Marketing Institute and Andrew Davis of Tippingpoint Labs) for a special Bulldog Reporter audio conference, Branded Content PR: Think Like a Publisher to Attract Followers, Boost Sales Leads and Skyrocket Visibility. It’s this Thursday, February 3 at 1pm EST and you can register here.

According to the promo copy, “Creating high-value content—and publishing it under your own brand or company name—is an excellent way to boost online traffic, generate customer leads and create a rabid following. Join PR University and a panel of branded content experts to learn what works, what doesn’t, and what mistakes to avoid so you can start your branded content program ASAP.”

(That’s what LinkedIn groups are for.) Instead, we’ll get serious about what it really takes to make a content strategy work, who should get involved, and who should step aside and let the train leave without them. Expect surprises, unfamiliar insights — and perhaps the sacrificial blood of a few sacred cows.
