3 + 1 Bonus Content Marketing Posts You Don't Want to Miss

Have you ever worked too hard? And finally, finishing a project, find out you could have made it far simpler?

The other day I struggled for over an hour to come up with something interesting and relevant for you, my dear readers of this blog. I couldn't figure out a topic that appealed to me. (If it doesn't interest me and it isn't on topic for Content Marketing, how can I expect you to get excited, right?)

Well, two hours later, I came up with something, then saved and published. As soon as I did, I clicked over to Michael Martine's post on Remarkablogger:

Ten Ways to Crank Out Killer Posts in Ten Minutes or Less

Fist to forehead, I figure Michael owes me at least 50 minutes of time. If I had read his blog post first, I would have followed his great advice. I'm doing so now.

His first tip is #1: Pick  three blogs you respect and introduce your readers to them.

1. Here is a great blog you should subscribe to: Content Rich: Writing Your Way to Wealth on the Web. This post is a gem: Copywriting for the Web – Part Art, Part Science, but Mostly About Addressing Peoples Needs, by Content Marketing & copywriting expert Jon Wuebben. Jon is the author of Content Rich, a great book that includes excellent copywriting and SEO knowledge. I just ordered a copy. This post is a great read, with excellent tips.
2. Sonia Simone writes another classic post for Copyblogger: Beyond Eyeballs: The Three Body Parts that Create Real Revenue. Do yourself a favor and read this post. Sonia is an excellent writer and she packs key knowledge into this. She's got more writing style than anybody on the Web.
3. Kristina Halvorson is a Content Strategist with a ton of expertise and a great blog to go with it. Plus, with a name like Brain Traffic, how can you not be compelled to go find out more? Her latest post is Content Strategy: The Care and Feeding of Your Most Important Brand Asset
