Lessons in Long-Form Content from the Boy with Half a Brain

How does reading from a screen affect our concentration, empathy and engagement with what we’re reading? According to conventional wisdom, digital readers have shorter attention spans, prefer to skim low-level content, and retain fewer details about what they read.

How to Calculate and Use Marketing ROI

Content creation is no longer optional for businesses that want to thrive in today’s competitive environment. Regardless of what it’s called — a blog post, infographic, video, etc. — content has become the way we consume information to help make better decisions in all areas of our lives.

When trying to find valuable content, we usually turn to Google. From looking for a recipe to figuring out where to buy the best jeans, we are now making more than 63,000 Google searches every second of every day. That adds up to 5.6 billion searches a day.

Understanding how to create great content and generate more traffic to your website through content marketing can help you attract potential customers. But it’s equally important to understand how to calculate what kind of return on investment (ROI) you’re receiving from your content marketing.

Then you can evaluate what’s working — and improve or eliminate what’s not.

5 Steps to Getting Started with Inbound Sales

“Hi, can I speak to Jordan? Hi Jordan, this is Mike at ACME. I saw you were interested in our wireless network systems and I wanted to talk to you about that. Just so you know, our routers are ranked best-in-class and we’re having a Fourth of July weekend sale.”

What do you think? Would you like to keep talking to Mike, or do you wish that you had let it go to voicemail?

Most people, me included, hate getting these calls. We think, “Ugh, a sales pitch,” and get off the phone as quickly as possible. We say “I’ll think about it,” or “Get back to me in a month” — anything to get the overly enthusiastic salesperson off the line, so we can get back to the email we were drafting, the report we were supposed to have put together yesterday, the latest blog post we need to write.
