		<description><![CDATA[Create inbound links by partnering with others in your online publishing circle

The old-school mentality that competitors should be kept at a distance is exactly that - an old school mentality. In 2010 many of our clients and lots of other online publishers have been very successful driving website traffic by making friends with would-be competitors.

Let's face it. A company is a competitor when you believe that you're targeting the same audience. The audience might read both of your publications, or they might read just one. When two competitors come together to syndicate online content, you're reaching the folks who otherwise chose your competitor over you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attempt to fix a problem when you choose the Big Promise headline for your landing pages

A great headline is really an advertisement for an advertisement. It grabs the reader's attention with such force that they can't resist reading the next sentence. They read your headline and think, "I need to know what comes next", much like an episode of LOST.

OK, perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I can tell you that a bad headline won't get your potential customers anywhere, and it most certainly won't get them off "the island".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Identify your landing page templates and discover why articles are your #1 best sellers

Landing page templates aren't just for taking names and selling products. Those are steps #2 &#38; #3. Some landing pages, like an article landing page, is the introductory first step that convinces them to move on.

There are lots of landing page templates out there. After all, when someone puts in a keyword, you're hoping they'll "land" on your site one way or another. If you're doing it right, every page on your website also either captures an email address or sells a product.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New media trends show that the iPad is bringing magazines back to life - why are we still resenting it?

The iPad is everywhere. It's being used at Posh NYC restaurants as wine lists and menus, and it's being doled out at hotels pre-loaded with newspapers.

So why is it that publishers are still struggling to come up with ways to use this device to sell their products? There are a few publishers doing a pretty rockin' job with the iPad and have totally embraced the interactive nature of the device.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Landing page optimization tips that can work for both B2B and B2C publishers

Would a name-squeeze page work as well if it went by any other name? Yes it would, and that's why we call it a Rapid Conversion Landing Page, or RCLP for short. Some people call it an email capture page as well. All jargon aside, the point of this page is to collect an email address by offering away a free product.

The more value these landing page create—and deliver—the more effective they are at growing the database. A Rapid Conversion Landing Page can be long or relatively short. It can tell an entertaining story, as does the RCLP for the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law (link below).]]></description>

Sometimes publishers know that they should be giving away free content in order to build their email list, but have no idea what to use for content. Should they create new content? Repurpose old content?

If you're repurposing old content (and we suggest that you do), it's a whole separate battle to try and come up with themes for your free reports.]]></description>

Many companies are jumping on the Facebook bandwagon and creating pages for their publications and blogs on Facebook. There are good reasons for doing this (ie. driving more traffic) and bad reasons for doing this (ie. selling more products). One leads to the other, but Facebook on its own is not a big moneymaker in the publishing industry.

Before you launch a Facebook business page (or go any further), here are five things you should know about Facebook marketing.]]></description>

The average email user gets dozens of emails per day, while others may receive hundreds of email messages per day. As a publisher I’m sure you’re aware of this.

An email subject line that fits the above criteria has a better chance of getting read. If you don’t follow specific guidelines while sending out email promotions, there’s a good chance your messages may be labeled as spam or end up in your recipients’ bulk folder. Pay close attention to the words you use as some words will trigger spam filters.]]></description>
