Content marketing tools and training.
Today is Labor Day in the U.S. and Canada, celebrating the dignity of working men and women by … working as little as humanly possible.
Here’s to a day of hammocks, loafing, burning some meat on the grill, maybe a little Frisbee, and plenty of time to enjoy your family and friends.
(And if those family and friends are driving you a little nuts, go keep yourself occupied with some Internet Marketing for Smart People.)
Back to work tomorrow … see you then and enjoy the day!
Today is Memorial Day in the U.S. — a day that commemorates the brave men and women who have died in our military service.
Today also unofficially kicks off the summer vacation season for us and a whole bunch of other people. So wherever you may be, we hope you’ll join us in spending a little extra time with family and friends today.
And if, for any reason, you might need a break from the relatives — or if picnics just aren’t your thing — why not get started with our 20-part Internet Marketing for Smart People course?
It’ll start your summer right, and it’s guaranteed not to get rained out.
See you tomorrow!
I’m delighted to let the world know that the popular blogger and author Chris Garrett has joined Copyblogger Media as Vice President of Educational Content.
You may know Chris from his highly respected course Authority Blogger, from his blog ChrisG.com, or from his guest posts here on Copyblogger and other leading marketing sites.
Chris is also my partner over at Third Tribe Marketing, and worked with us on the Authority Rules conference.
We’re big on tradition here at Copyblogger. And I’m not just talking about that crazy Puerto Rican eggnog. (Who knew you could get that much rum into a seemingly innocent dairy-based beverage?)
Every year right before Christmas, we let you know that we’re taking the rest of the year off. And every year, we slip in a “Best of Copyblogger” post right before New Year’s, just in case you missed something juicy over the past 12 months.
Man, are we sneaky.
So here are the best Copyblogger articles from 2011, based on your enthusiasm and my own bias for content that’s going to get you what you want in 2012.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the States … a day devoted to family, football, and eating our own weight in pie.
And, of course, gratitude.
I probably don’t take as much time as I should to sit down and think about everything I’m grateful for. The list is embarrassingly long, and it starts with the readers of this blog.
If I tried to list every single thing I’m grateful for, we’d both be here until after Groundhog Day. But I’d like to hit a few highlights — and to find out what’s on your gratitude list this year.
Well, not the whole summer. But we are giving ourselves a break.
We spend a lot of time teaching people how to build smart, sustainable businesses with content. The kind of businesses that give us enough free time to have some decent work-life balance.
After all, working your own schedule, to suit your own life, is one of the biggest benefits of running a business, right?
Then it occurred to us — hm, maybe we should take some of our own advice.
Many folks in the U.S. are taking today off for the Independence Day holiday, and we’re going to join them.
And tomorrow we start our official summer schedule.
