Yippee for you…

Now, how do you continue to add relevant and useful content to either your website or blog so that your readers will want to come back and take a second, third, and fourth look.

Problem solved.

I just read an article that you might find very interesting. It’s about content generation and how to get it.

If you can read this and can’t find anything of use in it then I’d recommend that you be checked for a pulse.

This tool makes blogging online so much easier…

On this blog you may have noticed the pictures that I have included in most of the posts.

I also will include a few articles that I think are good reads in the form of link a usually located at the bottom of the post.

Well, unlike some bloggers who spends hours searching around online for pictures to go with their posts, I actually don’t spend time doing that.

I actually take the lazy way out.

I use a tool that does all of that stuff for me.

It’s actually located in my wordpress account and it only becomes active when I’m getting ready to make a post.

When it notices this, it goes out over the web and checks for relevant pictures to go with what I’m posting about. Then it also recommends articles that may be related to my post as well.

From there it’s just a matter of me choosing the picture I want in the post, then checking for any related articles.

And I almost forgot.

It evens develops a listing of tag words as well that I can include in the post.

Plus it places a reblog link on every post.

What this does is it allows anyone reading your post to reblog it with a simple click of the button.

It’s a real big help for changing the look and feel of this blog.

Ok, enough about all of the things I’m able to do with this blog posting tool, I get the feeling by now you want to know the name of it.

It’s called zemanta.com

Copywriting lesson

Here’s one of those moments where you start to see how theprofitablecopywriter.com can help you become a much better copywriter.

I’ve mentioned in the past that I frequently visit websites and while there I will see how I can rewrite their bullet points.

Well, just in case you haven’t followed that advice – which you should have, shame on you if you didn’t – here are a set of bullets from a site that was selling..get this…a cure for cancer.

Now, when they say cancer, they aren’t suggesting every type of cancer, but the non-melanoma versions.

Anyhow….here are the set of bullets that were featured on the website.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it. (I always wanted to say that) is to see how you could re-write these bullets.

The idea here is simple.

To help you get into the habit of writing bullets that are engaging.

Oh, and before I give them to you I want to just say that these are some very good bullets. So don’t feel bad if at first you have a hard time re-writing them as I did myself.

These bullets really push the curiosity buttons.

Can you really become a master copywriter?

Image via Wikipedia

Here’s a really cool idea for helping you become a master copywriter.

Create a circle of friends to review each others work.

However this group won’t be just any group of people.

Your group will consist of other writers.

Preferably other copywriters.

Next you will let the other writers in the group review your work and offer creative suggestions.

The reason you want to do this is because as a copywriter you will always need to polish your skills. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been producing copy, you can always get better.

And this is one such way for you to do so.
