Content marketing tools and training.
On August 5-7, fellow Copyblogger Media partner Brian Gardner (founder of StudioPress) and his wife Shelly will be walking 60 miles in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for The Cure in Chicago.
This is Brian’s tenth year walking, and in that time he’s raised more than $60,000 to fight breast cancer. And he’s not even close to being finished.
You might not be able to join Brian and Shelly in Chicago for their three-day odyssey. But there is a way you can join us in spirit …
On any given day, The Drudge Report drives more traffic to major news sites than Facebook or Twitter.
Think about that for a minute.
One man with a 14-year-old, one-page, static html website sends more traffic to the CNN, Yahoo, New York Times, LA Times, FOX News and USA Today websites than the nearly one billion users of Facebook and Twitter combined.
In driving traffic to those sites, Drudge is second only to Google. The journalistic world has accordingly beaten a path to Matt Drudge’s door, all seeking just one link from the Master.

With all the chatter over the weekend about the debut of Google Plus, you’d think this article would be about the newest and shiniest social network from the search giant.
But for now, we’ll let the tech types and early adopters play with Google Plus and go ahead and make sure your business is being seen where the people are.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, but not all can write.
The course of recent technological events has made the separation of those who can write from their contracts, exploitations, and fears — which keep them from independence and prosperity — complete.
We have been endowed with absolute possibility, and the tools to pursue it.
If any individual or organization becomes an enemy of this possibility, we can … leave.
We will lay a foundation of study, research, and practice, so that nothing can lock our destiny away from us.
