10 Principles of Content Marketing

Reblogged from Andrea Antal:

Susan Gunelius has created a great list of tenets for content marketing that are easy to understand and follow.

2. Be Human

Leave corporate rhetoric and hard sales pitches out of your content marketing efforts.

3. Be Social

Content marketing isn’t a one-way street.

How to become a thought leader

How to become a thought leader

Presently the buzz on social media is all about owning and creating content and then using this to become a thought leader to create and secure a strong brand. Then you utilize the brand to build influence, and the influence to drive profits through increased sales.

 

I think you’ll see this trend continue for 18 months until people realize what creating content is really all about, but obviously I’m not going to put that in print here. You’ll have to get to know me better and create a relationship with me to secure that trust  ;-)

On Valentine’s Day

A few words that could make your life as blessed as mine.

If you are not sure if you love someone or not, you do not, just accept that and be grateful you dodged a bullet.Image

I had several near misses with several lovely ladies but they were not right for me.

Deep down inside, because I always knew I needed and wanted a life long partner, I wanted to believe I could make these relationships work. Thankfully, I looked to Mum and Dad as examples and knew I was kidding myself.

Don’t kid yourself, just realize if you have doubts those doubts are real.

I’ve never doubted my love for my lovely wife.

Find someone that completes you and you complete them, and enjoy life.

Obama's Quotable Google+ Hangout: Zuckerberg, Drones And Being 'Chill'

Reblogged from TechCrunch:

President Obama just concluded a group interview with a handful of bloggers on Google+. The 40-minute follow-up to the State of the Union covered a broad range of new issues: drones, Mark Zuckerberg, patent trolls, immigrant gay rights, gun control, the distribution of wealth, and even why the president is so "chill." More than any interview I've seen in recent memory, the Google+ hangout gave a deeper insight into his own philosophy and process, even if it was when he deliberately dodged questions.

Maintaining a normal blood pressure is extremely important, because your blood vessels affect nearly every square inch of your body and can cause problems as life-threatening as stroke and hypovolemic shock or as comparatively insignificant as dizzy spells and erectile dysfunction.

For those who don't know, blood pressure is a measurement of the pressure in your arteries during the active and resting phases of each heartbeat.
