Thought provoking discussion: Why Scoop.it? What models work, how to spot trends, how to employ analytics.... (No spoilers, #must read)

Thanks for the share @Ally Greer. Don't like the RISK FACTORS without @Scoop.it since each post puts modeled and valuable websites at risk. Better to test with the "fastest feedback loop in the west" :). Marty

Remember people learn from you in 3 ways, audibly, visually and kinaesthetically. Which is why what you do with your body including your face is also so critical.

The first 2 sentences of this article sum it all up: "On average, your readers will only read 28% of the words on a page. Can you tell your whole story in 2-3 sentences? Probably not."
As graphic/visual coaches this reinforces the value of recording and working through visuals to support and enhance the normal talking and note taking.

Great article, especially for educators. I think a lot of students don't read our emails either, because the titles sound so boring!

My favorite is #4 TELL don't SELL. Other solid email marketing tips in this deck. I would add: * Ask a question in our subject you partially answer in the email (their tip #5). * Always include social share button in prominent position. * Always include a "can't see" URL as that promotes social shares too.

Number 8 is definitely a must. Tracking your results & learning from them. That's what it's all about!

Interesting analysis of what it takes for a brand to become a thought leader. And how your content strategy might still be successful at generating leads without necessarily focusing on that.

All I can say, is thank goodness for Visuals in content! I've always been a visual person being a visual learner. Information is easier to retain and comprehend when visuals are employed as it pulls you in. The article's statistics further supports the importance of visuals. I love visuals!

S'y retrouver en matière de contenu exige l'équilibre entre l'analyse, la sérendipité et le dialogue avec sa communauté. Le développement des affaires véritable apparaît rarement sans cet équilibre dans la consommation des réseaux sociaux! Il faut mettre du sens dans la connaissance pour mieux l'utiliser. |
Entertaining. Strategic. And shareable.
This is an old post by Sonia Simone from Copyblogger that is still very valid and inspiring today. This last point stresses out the importance of the new model for SEO and content marketing, driven by social media: content that is not entertaining, strategic or interesting enough to be shared won't raise above the noise.
Content curation helps in that respect through a couple of things:
1. Curating content is a great way to understand what gets shared vs what's not: this will inform your own content creation.
2. Content curation will help you constantly identify and publish good shareable content, enriched with your own context and expertise.
