Pretty interesting video. To your point, they state that great titles can lead to a 40% increase in readership. Boy do I need to work at that!

Oh, one more.
Enjoyed Mary’s post on Two Word Strategies (short and sweet).

Thanks, Brian! I am flattered my comment rated a link! All of us, though, make dumb mistakes–whether in missing something in a final edit, or in life!! What really catches my attention is how someone utilizes those events and turns them into learning experiences … and in some cases, they’re even AFGOs! AFGOs? What’s that? AFGOs is an acronym for Another bleeping Growth Opportunity! lol…my favorite kind!

Brian:

Seth is doing a fantastic job with permission marketing and a few other select activities for his new book: The Dip.

The blog is here http://sethgodin.typepad.com/the_dip/.

I just read it and blogged about an example from my experience. I know you would enjoy it and find tremendous value in it.

[...] to the Copyblogger. Dear CopyBlogger, How Did Your Blog Become So Successful, So Fast? Today, he dodged the answer with a non-answer on his blog. That’s fine, Copyblogger.com is still one of my top 5 blogs ever in terms of high-quality [...]

Brian, I smell a new blog or ebook coming! I’ll buy it for sure. At least I tried to get the answer for free ahead of time.

Seriously though, you deserve every ounce of traffic and success you get/have. This is by far one of my favorite blogs ever, and I’ve been blogging since 2001.

Jim, words are free. We all use the same ones. But a writer’s voice is what matters.

I suggest you read a book called “Stein on Writing”. In it you will learn about “finding your writing voice”. Brian has found his writing voice, even though he uses the same free words as everyone else. We just think his is way better than Sanjai’s singing voice ( and countless other copy bloggers out there.)

It’s hard to quantify, but sometimes you just know it when you read it.

Regards
Shane

Jim, I’ve written about a lot more than content, including strategy, positioning, subscriber attraction, link-building, SEO, etc. You’re right that it’s more than just content, but my answer remains the same (for now).

Doug, I was glad that you wrote that post… or I wouldn’t have brought it up here. Gave me something to think about.
