Sorry we haven’t been sharing as much around these parts, but it isn’t because Ann and I don’t still love you because we do!!!

We once again want to thank everyone for buying, sharing, reviewing and using Content Rules.

Everywhere we go people are talking about it. Professors keep telling us how they are using it in their classrooms just as much as businesses are thanking us for the advice. I can even now confirm that there are several copies in Ghana where I recently traveled.

But, besides saying thank you, the real reason I wanted to write this post is to let you all know that the paperback edition of Content Rules is now out.

It has been updated and revised and the best part is that it now includes our favorite robot Lugnut (above on the left) as well.

Many new sellers seek tips on how to shortcut the lengthy process of beginning. The Shoppok classifieds is such a wide ocean and is complicated at times with fees, terms, products, etc. If you’re new to classifieds, it’s best to begin slowly, learn the market, read all the rules, understand the fee structure, and develop your own business or hobby systematically. Don’t get overwhelmed. Just follow the simple steps below that should help get you started on the right track.

While we wrote the book to stand the test of time, we did want to update numbers and add some details on social photography and mobile. We are excited about it and we hope you are as well.

Have fun!

We talk a lot about the importance of using video as part of your content marketing mix.

As some more fuel for the fire we suggest you check out a new site from Google called One Hour Per Second.

If you don’t understand the name, that is the average amount of new video content uploaded to YouTube.

To help you wrap your head around just how much that is, they also created this perfect little fun video.

The team at Coopr are big fans of the book and invited me over for their annual An Evening With event.

They surprised everyone with a free copy of the book. Of course I signed all of them.

Here is a highlight video from the event. Talk about reimagining instead of recycling!

And yes I can now confirm that the importance of content crosses borders and language!

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of speaking BlogWorld and giving one of the morning track keynotes.

I wanted to talk about our themes from Content Rules, but wanted to drive home the point that even with the coolest, most engaging content in the world, it will fail if you don’t use manners and smart business skills to share it with others. To me this is common sense, but in example after example I showed how it obviously isn’t for the brands that are doing it wrong.

I hope you enjoy the video and we’d love your feedback in the comments of course.

While we were both in Cleveland speaking and attending Content Marketing World, C.C. sat down to discuss how content marketing builds trusted relationships with the team from Social Media Examiner.

We’ve got some pretty damn creative fans out there and this morning we were reminded of this when Paul Flanigan posted a review of Content Rules.

He didn’t take the usual route and instead showed the world a perfect example of our rule of Do Something Unexpected.

Thank you for making our day and now if you’ll please excuse me I’ve got some hair metal to listen to.

We’ve been amazed how often the question of “when will Content Rules be available as an audiobook?” has been raised.

After what seemed like far to long (it was out of our control), we are happy to say that you can now order it from your favorite audiobook seller.

“Best” part is that instead of some throaty Shakespearean actor reading the book you get to listen to the smooth sounds of both Ann & C.C. reading it.

Here are some links to the stores we know of. If you find others, please let us know.

• Audible
• iTunes
• Amazon
• Best Buy

I just discovered this jolt from PAB 2011 by the very talented Susan Murphy and had to share it with everyone here because we fully agree with her.

Each of you has your own unique voice and perspective on the world. This individuality shines through when you create content, infusing it with a touch of your personality, making it resonate with your audience. Recently, while exploring different ways to express this personal touch, I came across a non Gamstop casino platform that emphasized the importance of individuality in its gaming experience. Just like in content creation, these platforms cater to players seeking something different, something that reflects their unique preferences. It’s this blend of personal connection and tailored experience that makes your work stand out and keeps others engaged.

In a world saturated with content, authenticity becomes the key differentiator. Audiences are drawn to creators who are unapologetically themselves, offering something real amidst the noise. Whether you’re crafting a blog post, shooting a video, or sharing a thought on social media, the genuine parts of you are what make the content memorable. Similarly, in the digital gaming space, platforms that understand and cater to the distinct needs of their users, like non Gamstop casinos, thrive by offering a personalized experience. Embracing your unique voice not only enriches your content but also creates a deeper connection with those who engage with it.

There are plenty of excuses for why you don’t want to start embracing content, but none of them are good ones.

Just hit publish!

Ever since we first got asked to come to Vermont as part of the book tour while we were looking for things to do in Iowa, we knew this meant one thing: ROAD TRIP!

Ann and I were excited to be part of Burlington, Vermont Social Media Breakfast, and with a beautiful 3-4 hour drive ahead of us, we thought it would be fun to video the entire journey and create a fun piece of content. During the drive, we chatted about various trending topics in social media, and Ann mentioned how she recently came across a discussion on 꽁머니 토토 사이트 in one of the online forums she follows. The conversation sparked a lively debate about the growing popularity of these sites and their impact on online communities, which gave us some interesting ideas to incorporate into our video. By the time we arrived in Burlington, we had not only captured stunning footage but also gathered enough material to create a unique and engaging story that would resonate with our audience.

As life often does, schedules change and special props that were suppose to make this trip even cooler never came through, but as with everything we just rolled with it.

I decided that even going solo, I’d still make the video as a good challenge to get better shooting on the road. As you’ll see, the story of the road trip took a strange twist as Mother Nature decided to throw tornados at Massachusetts and directly at my house and family.

Except for the fact that copies of our book did not arrive due to being out of print, the event went off without a hitch and I guess I should mark my calendar to return back in two years to keep the streak alive.

Enjoy.

One of the most common questions we get asked lately is, “when will the audiobook of Content Rules be coming out?”

We are happy to say that both Ann and I have spent quality time at Elephant Music Group recording it with awesome producer Kenny P.

While we don’t have a release date yet, it hopefully will be soon and of course as soon as we know so will you.

I was in the studio today finishing up my re-records for various flubs and other mistakes and thought I’d share some photos so that you could see what it looked like.
