Blue Ribbon Bloggers: Writing/Journalism

This one is going to be tougher than Teriyaki Steak on a Stick…

The Right Conversation, Meryl’s Notes, Below the Fold and Rough Type each deserve a mention. So does Jurgen Wolff’s Time to Write.

Blueribbon_2 However, this Blue Ribbon goes to Brian Clark at Copyblogger. He writes great headlines – and shows you how too (though I’ll stick to the Blog Posting Mantra for most of my folks – more on that another day). Love the design (by Peasonified)!

Briian’s What the Heck is RSS? is one I share in workshops and seminars – and have published it elsewhere (He said it’s okay – you can too). This is a blogger worth copying.

Pic_friedtwinkiesAs a concession, we’ll honor today’s Deep Fried Twinkie to Hall-of-Fame copywriting guru, Bob Bly. If you want to get better at writing copy that sells, The Copywriter’s Handbook is still king. Reading his blog can sometimes be like watching a television evangelist preach against TV, though.

Previous Blue Ribbons:
- Entrepreneurial Spirit
- PR/Communications

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.
