  • 10 Steps to Build Your Business Through Your Content

    Finding the right type of content to create can be a challenge. However, getting people plugged into your content can be even more difficult. With the onslaught of information hitting us, how can a business stand out and make an impression? The answer is communication. How an individual or business communicates to someone makes the difference. Content can get someones attention, but if there is no connection, there will be no sale. It’s not just about content. Real communication through content will help increase your bottom line.

    Key Points
    Attendees of this session will walk away knowing:
    1. The difference between creating content and connecting customers with their content.
    2. How to increase sales and referrals through effective communication with effective content.
    3. How different types of content speak differently to audiences, and how to best use certain channels.

  • 10 Professional Writing Secrets to Create Killer Content

    This session will show bloggers how to create outstanding written content, rather than relying on keyword-laden schlock and hoping the Google gods will be appeased. We will learn how professional writing techniques — including copywriting, fiction, journalism, and even poetry — can win readers, get them to share your content, and even write about it on their own blogs. With lessons learned from Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Waits, and even the guy who said to never end a sentence with a preposition (hint: he was wrong), we’ll learn how to create killer content that will bring in readers.

    Key Points
    1. What journalistic techniques bloggers can use to create short, but effective blog posts.
    2. How both political speechwriters and songwriters stir emotions through visual language and how you can too.
    3. Some grammar rules you learned in school are not only wrong, they should never have been rules to begin with.
