While there aren’t any rules, there are “best practices&# that you should stick to. If you can’t explain your promotion in one sentence, it is unlikely your audience will be able to, and as a result your message will fail to spread. The most effective promotions offer something that can’t be found anywhere else.

I’m having so much fun sharing the awesome content with everyone, but I think there are some that still don’t get what the course is trying to get across, and decided not to sign up because perhaps they’re thinking they aren’t interested in podcasting, or that their clients won’t have a need for their help in this area.

Your goal as a content marketer is not to have the best and most intriguing content around. Sure, it might help if your goal is to write for Time magazine, but it is unlikely to help you sell products. 4) Don’t overwrite, underwrite. When your goal is to sell a product or service, your entire article should reflect it.

Rather than focusing on hustle and instant income, shape your blog around helping people achieve their long-term goals.

Go where the big guys can’t. Go where they can’t. When you can’t compete through scale and power, compete through personal service and time-spent. Corporations don’t. Look at any movie collection and it will no doubt be packed with stories of up and coming people toppling the big and powerful.
