Blog Publicity - 6 Tips You Need to Know

Every week I get emails encouraging me to blog about a business book, and sometimes I get books in the mail to review. A couple of these have been worthy of mentioning, and when it is appropriate, I do my best to let readers know they should not miss a certain book.

There is an art to pitching a blogger. If you have a book or for that matter, any other product that could benefit from a blog boost, learn how to do it right.

Denise has recorded 6 Tips on How to Pitch Bloggers and you can listen to it here.

Pitching to Bloggers: Learn How to Get a Publicity Explosion that Doesn't Explode in Your Face

How to Pitch Bloggers is an important teleseminar for anyone who's wanting to get mega-exposure through some of the best blogs.

Bloggers can make or break a product or business, and if you've been paying attention on the Web you know what we're talking about. Bloggers get pitched all the time, and in the worst ways. They can rave about you, or expose you. You can't pitch bloggers in the same way that you'd approach journalists.

Learn how, what and why. Next Wednesday, Sept. 20, at 8:30 p.m. ET, join the Blog Squad and Joan Stewart, the Publicity Hound, for an hour.

Publish a Tips Booklet to Boost Your Business: a Conversation with Paulette Ensign

Paulette Ensign is an expert in marketing with Tips Booklets. Don't miss our Conversation with Expert Teleseries this Wednesday, 8:30 p.m. ET, and learn how you can write and publish a tips booklet and boost your business.

Paulette is well known in the marketing arena with tips booklets; she is known as the Booklets Queen, having sold over a million of these clever publications. She wrote an interesting post on her blog this week, called "I Wanna Publish a Book, I Wanna Be On Oprah, I Wanna..."

I agree with Paulette: far too many professionals know they need to get a book published, but never find the time to do it. Truth is, publishing a book is time consuming and not always worth it. Writing a shorter version in the form of a tips booklet may get the job of marketing done without wasting time, money and energy. But you need to learn how to do it right.

I met Paulette in Washington DC at the book conference, and had the pleasure of getting to know her at dinner. Turns out she lives 3 blocks away from my house in Del Mar! Paulette has a great sense of humor, and a finely tuned eye for what works in business.

Here's the skinny on the Conversation this Wednesday. The call is without charge, unless you want to order the audio recording, but registration is required over at Conversations with Experts.

Writing for Your Blog: A Conversation with Copyblogger Brian Clark

How Copywriting Skills Bring Both Traffic and Sales
Wednesday, May 31, 2006, 8:30 p.m. ET
Guest Expert: Brian Clark, Copyblogger

Why all the fuss about business blogging? Unlike the static websites of the early web, a business blog is a dynamic web presence that attracts new prospects, establishes a relationship with them, and allows them to effortlessly become a client or customer. 

A blog is a lead generation and customer relationship management tool all in one, but only if you tell a story that matters to your target market. 

Copywriting is the art of selling with words and getting people to take action —whether your goal is publicity or a sale —and it’s the secret to achieving your Internet marketing goals.

Brian Clark is a serial entrepreneur who makes his living from the Internet and the written word, thanks to his knowledge of copywriting and direct marketing.  Because Brian is not a copywriter for hire, he literally bets his own money on his writing every day, and he is sold on the benefits of blogging for business.  As a former attorney, Brian has been in the persuasion business his entire professional life, but enjoys going to work a whole lot more these days.
