I’ve been doing quite a lot of work recently on a variety of projects, some that are related to Grow A Better Business and some that are related to other work areas that I’m interested. However, they have all had one thing in common – how do I get my message across to an increasing number of people? This of course is the question that’s on everyones mind these days, especially as some businesses are struggling to maintain a foothold at all and I realised that my own specialities are those that are highly relevant as a result. Internet Marketing, can and does work, when it’s done consistently and appropriately and I wanted to share just a few ideas with you that may just help.

Yesterday, I was reading a great article from Copyblogger that talks about how to get your audience’s attention beyond the headline and carry them through the reading of the entire article. It struck me that a similar tactic could absolutely be used when writing a cover letter. Why not use your cover letter as a sales pitch? Why not write it the same way one would write to sell widgets, iPods, or your old Rollerblades? Okay, so it’s a different kind of product, but the concepts are the same.

A few co-conspirators and I want to hold a BarCamp on Sunday, October 25th, the day after the SPJ regional conference at the University of Oregon . For those who have never attended one, a BarCamp is an “ ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment .” In short, if you think you have something to teach you can throw it in to the mix. If you’re there to learn, then you have a whole number of knowledgeable people as teachers for a variety of topics.

Although many companies today are leveraging on the power of social media to build brand value, we’ve already seen several cases where brands have been challenged by the explosive dissemination of negative information. One of the key things that are keeping businesses up at night is the fear of a social media brand crisis. It can be due to anything ranging from bad product reviews, employee-indiscretions on YouTube to service complaints on Twitter.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. I’ve been reading up on personal branding strategies lately, which naturally lead to a deeper exploration of freelance business ideas and strategies. I’ve found some very interesting articles that certainly need to be shared. I hope you find them as helpful as I did. The article about expanding the Perez Hilton brand is my favorite. His advice is quite insightful. • Guide to Self Employment – A guide for those thinking about going into business for themselves via Business Week .

Last week on Oprah, MacKenzie Phillips launched her new personal brand. She is the self-dubbed, new face of “ consensual incest ,” according to Sunday’s New York Times . I won’t guess what reaction you’re having to MacPhil’s latest attempt to spin a lifetime of addiction and dereliction into an Oprah book bestseller (featured for ratings, not endorsed for your book club). At least consider the effort a stroke of branding genius.

In yesterday’s entry , I proposed deploying transmedia storytelling on an individual basis for the purpose of, say, getting a job or attracting clients. I used a framework suggested by Jeff Gomez, president and CEO of Starlight Runner Entertainment , for looking at individual transmedia storytelling. Gomez (who very kindly stopped by and commented on yesterday’s entry) also figures prominently in today’s installment, via a blog entry from almost two years ago by transmedia-storytelling expert extraordinaire Christy Dena, Jeff Gomez’s “8 Defining Characteristics of Transmedia Production ” .

I’ve always been a Will Smith fan. His ability to move from an 80’s rapper, to a 90’s sitcom star, to mega movie star has always impressed me. After watching this it won’t seem so surprising anymore. Will’s philosophy- -Be willing to die for what you believe in -Where you are is not where need to be -Become something greater -There is no easy way -Don’t set out to build a wall; lay one perfect brick everyday -Make a difference; the world needs to be a better place because you were in it -Represent an idea -Create whatever you want to create -Believe; there is no reason for a “plan b” it just gets in the way of “plan a” -Don’t be a realist.

I have been noticing lately some handwringing, public and private, over the fact that social media marketing and PR folks do nothing but agree with each other in blog posts comments, and on Twitter et al. Nothing could be closer to the truth. This cohort is a friendly bunch, all trying to promote social media as the communications wave of the future. I agree that healthy debate would be a lot more interesting, but I would stop short of disagreeing for disagreement’s sake.

Trimming in Public is a series where I go through my list of 293 RSS feeds, 10 feeds at a time, give some detail as to why I subscribed to a particular feed, and then decide whether or not to keep on consuming that feed. In Episode 1 , I explained what RSS is and how to use it. Please read that if you need a refresher on why RSS is awesome and why you should be using it if you take reading news on the internet seriously.
