Agile Content Marketing: How to Grow an Audience that Grows Your Business
If you’ve ever wondered what your content strategy has in common with the way stand-up comedians develop their acts, this one’s for you. Hint: it’s no joke.
//
The Tao of “No”
If you have a difficult time saying “no,” I suggest you say “yes” to the powerfully simple advice Ms. Heyward delivers in this article.

Why We Share Content Online
It’s possible to formulate reasonable conclusions as to why certain content gets spread around online through simple observation. In this article, Ms. Seiter commits to taking those conclusions even further … by naming them. Hint: it’s all about ourselves.

The Perfect Marketing Strategy for Soap, Soda, and Startups
Content marketing wasn’t invented yesterday. Try decades ago, before scrappy startups were publishing useful, relevant, entertaining content to the web — before there was a web.

The Marketer’s Guide to Google Plus
Don’t fear the hype. Google+ is (and will remain) an inevitable part of your content marketing strategy. Use this exceedingly useful post from Mr. Bulygo to setup, optimize, and benefit from a Google+ page for your product or service.

Freedom Is Blogging In Your Underwear
This is not a review (or even an endorsement) of Mr. MacLeod’s new book. I haven’t yet read it. It’s more an endorsement for much of what Mr. MacLeod has already done. You see, when I was struggling to figure out this online thing years ago, he was there for me, on his site, giving it all away. I’ve never met the man, but he’s still here, still delivering wisdom, strategy, and delight. So, if this “little love letter to the blogoshpere” is even half as good as what he’s done already, I’ll put my money down for it. If you make and publish content online, I think you should too.

Great stuff, Robert.
I missed the Brian’s post on content marketing, so thanks for sharing that one. I am always looking to keep expanding my knowledge when it comes to content marketing so this was really fantastic stuff.
Have a great weekend, Robert.

Just bought Hugh MacLeod’s book. It’s a short, fun read and helps get you motivated to create.
As Hugh say’s “This is a book about freedom”. Enough said! Great book.
