Long vs. Short Copy? That is the question.
I have read several opinions on whether long copy or short copy is better. Each side offers great points but in this blog post, I am going to let you know my opinion, long copy will always outshell short copy. Higher conversion rates often are the result of long copy. Continue Reading

Often times, just knowing what NOT to do is enough to lead you into the right direction. As a blogger, your blog revolves around your ability to write and write well. Here are some traps to avoid falling into while coming up with your copy.
- Grabbing Attention The Right Way – There is a huge difference between grabbing someone’s attention and grabbing someone’s business. When creating your ads or promotional copy, do not think that just because you are using words that will attract someone’s attention that those same words are going to lead to a sale.

Part Three – Videos
Another great opportunity to gain exposure, and get links and traffic to your blog, is through the use of online videos. While there are financial and time commitments to creating and editing videos, getting viral can help get your blog to the tipping point far faster than any other online channel. YouTube is by far the king of video sites, but there are hundreds of others including Vimeo, Viddler, Blip.tv, 5min, DailyMotion, and MetaCafe. Are you distributing your videos to these outlets as well? Are you monitoring your videos’ success or failure and watching the performance of others in these channels to see what’s getting noticed or ignored? If not, you should be. The days of ‘fish marketing’ are over. Watch you campaigns to see which are working and which aren’t. Form there you can cut the slack and build the channels that provide the most traffic and exposure to your blog. Continue Reading

June 9th, 2010 by Clifton HatfieldI just finished checking out my good friend Scott Scales from ScottScales.com and reading his latest blog on taking time to build relationships with your readers through the comments left on your blog posts. So you should really watch his quick video first before watching mine, visit his blog post Are you wasting time on blog comments?
I thought that I would extend his article and show you how to notify those who left you comments anytime another comment is left. There is a really wonderful WordPress plugin that will place a checkbox near the comment box which your visitors can check when leaving you a comment to be notified when you or another else replies or leaves feedback. Check out my video and if you like it, share with your friends on Facebook or followers on Twitter.
