Have you been hearing about places like Facebook and MySpace, concepts like social media and social bookmarking, or tools like widgets? What the heck is up with these, anyway?
And most importantly - how can you use any of them to increase visibility for your business, and boost your bottom line?
 Our pal and strategic ally Kevin Skarritt, the Chief Nut at Acorn Creative, is hosting a free webinar tomorrow, Wednesday August 13th, on “The Top 10 Opportunities for Social Media Engagement (All the Cool Kids Are Doing It!),” from 1-2pm. Kevin says…
Ready to invigorate your brand with the new tools of social media? We’ll examine the powerful and inexpensive business opportunities that social media offers and teach you how to use them effectively.
Kevin lives, eats, and breathes this stuff - and I should know, I spend enough time with him already. From four-hour lunches, to long car rides to clients in adjacent states, I can’t have a conversation with the guy without the topic of social media popping up or figuring in. (BTW, from left to right, that’s me and Lani, MySpace Senior VP Shawn Gold, and Kevin at the Global Marketing Summit last year.)
So who better to interview him for the webinar? Yes, I’ll be on the line with him to grill him, keep him grounded, and make sure he boils the information down in a way we can all use for our own businesses.
Learn more and sign up here, and you’ll even get a free copy of Acorn’s special report on inbound linking strategies for your website (a $49 value!).
Don’t miss it.

Talk about getting in under the wire! Joe Pulizzi and Junta42 just announced their inaugural list of the Top 42 Content Marketing Blogs - and wonder of wonders, The “A-Ha!” Blog came in at #42!
(Pulizzi must be a Douglas Adams fan - he picked the number 42 because of its significance in Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series - more on that from Wikipedia).
 I want to say a special thank you to Patsi Krakoff, one half of the dynamic Blog Squad, who nominated us for the award. Her Writing on the Web blog ranked in at #25, so she’s no slouch herself! 
Here’s the full press release with more information:
Junta42-The Social Bookmarking Site Dedicated to Content Marketers-Celebrates Its Launch by Announcing The Top 42 Content Marketing Blogs
-Honors go to Millward Brown’s ‘Straight Talk with Nigel Hollis,’ David Meerman Scott’s ‘Web Ink Now,” ‘Copyblogger’ and Others -
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) January 23, 2008 - Junta42, a “digg-like” social bookmarking site focusing on content marketing, custom publishing and branded content, celebrated its launch by announcing the “Junta42 Top 42 Content Marketing Blogs“. The list, which was composed by comparing several blogs’ relation to content marketing, their post length/depth, regularity/frequency, overall content value and Google page rank, includes some of the best known marketing blogs, as well as up-and-comers on the verge of being discovered by the marketing community.
Junta42’s mission is to help businesses learn how to create better content, thus maximizing their overall communications initiatives. To do so, Junta42 has created a framework of content marketing articles, white papers, tutorials and case studies-all of which it makes available via various modes of content marketing (video, podcasts, social media applications, etc). Junta42’s Top Content Marketing Blogs list is a natural extension of its overarching goal of exposing great content.
“The Top 42 Content Marketing Blogs is an invaluable list for any marketing professional who needs to learn how their business can attract and retain customers by producing great content,” stated Joe Pulizzi, founder and chief content officer for Junta42. “While some of the Top 42 do not focus entirely on content marketing or custom publishing, all of them, in some way, help teach marketers how to create, distribute and market content through diverse forms of media.”
The top five blogs include:
- Straight Talk with Nigel Hollis, Millward Brown’s Chief Global Analyist
- Web Ink Now from Successful Author and Speaker David Meerman Scott
- Conversation Agent from Valeria Maltoni, a Leading Author and Marketing Thought Leader
- Marketing Interactions from Ardath Albee, Founder of the Marketing Consultancy of the Same Name

If this isn’t a meta-testimonial for the magic of blogging, I don’t know what is.
Earlier this year I got an email from a guy who said he was a book editor, and he was getting an anthology together. His name was Philip Martin, and he asked me if he could include one of my blog rants on blogging from earlier this year in the book.
While this wasn’t exactly an email from a exiled Nigerian prince asking to use my bank account to deposit millions of dollars, I still harbored a healthy bit of skepticism. So I emailed Mr. Martin a “Yeah, sure. That’d be great,” muttered an “I’ll believe it when I’m holding the actual published book in my hands” under my breath, and went on with whatever I was doing at my computer that day.
 Turns out Mr. Martin was for real. Thanks to that rabid post I threw out to the world back in February, I’m now among an elite group of contributors of an annual anthology on the craft, passion, marketing, and business of writing. Woohoo!!!! (I blogged some of the emotional, writer-ly deets here on my Wild Quills blog. This blogging thing is nutty, ain’t it?)
The impressive, wildly readable, utterly practical, and wonderfully integrated writers’ resource is called (drumroll, please…):
The New Writer’s Handbook 2007: A Practical Anthology of Best Advice for Your Craft and Career.
I’ve posted the publisher’s press release below, so you can read the “official” word on the street about this kick-butt book.
Scarletta Press
News Release
The New Writer’s Handbook 2007
Annual Collection of Expert Advice To Help Writers: Features more than 60 practical articles
GILFORD, NH (AUGUST 24, 2007) — Does the world really need another book of advice for writers? The answer, according to Scarletta Press, a new up-and-coming independent press in Minneapolis, is yes! In fact, they, with handbook editor Philip Martin, think that writers need an annual infusion of cross-disciplinary articles on the craft and career of being a good writer.
The first edition of The New Writer’s Handbook offers an eclectic mix of expert advice, stimulating short pieces, and overall encouragement. Every writer, from newbies to old hands, will find something to put to use in this far-ranging collection.
The 60 articles in this anthology were chosen mostly from pieces published in 2006–early 2007. Contributors include luminaries such as Barry Lopez, Richard Powers, Mary Pipher, Jane Yolen, Linda Sue Park, Ridley Pearson, William G. Tapply, and others. They include winners of the National Book Award, Newbery Medal, and many other honors. Other contributors include working journalists, writing instructors, authors with bestseller books, editors, literary bloggers, and more.
This inexpensive paperback edition serves as a personal annual professional-development seminar, touching on topics from craft techniques to career issues to helpful thoughts about creativity and motivation.
Sections in the book include:
Creativity, Motivation & Discipline
The Craft of Writing
Pitching & Proposals
Marketing Your Work
Internet Skills
Literary Insights & Last Words
Sample pieces include:
“Speaking a Book,” an essay by 2006 National Book Award–winner Richard Powers on why he dictates his books using voice-recognition software.
“Fundamental of Blogging,” an excerpt from Plug This Book: Online Book Marketing for Authors by Steve Weber (2007), provides practical tips on developing a professional blog.
“A Checklist for Character & Conflict Revision,” by NYT-bestselling author Gregory Martin, offers advice on revision.
A number of pieces speak to the deeper purpose of being a writer today, about how to have a positive effect on readers, on yourself, and on the shape of the world, such as Mary Pipher’s excerpt from her 2006 book Writing to Change the World, and poet Gabriel Gudding on writing for those right around you.
A few humorous pieces, like “Thank You for Hating My Book” or “Books as a Gateway Drug,” round out the collection.
“I wanted to offer a different kind of collection,” says editor Philip Martin, “one that would deliver lots of encouragement to listen to other voices in the field. I see a good anthology as a jumping-off point, a springboard for further reading and an invitation to celebrate a sense of community in the writing world. Writers are opinionated and diverse and competitive, and yet we need each other.
“No one else understands a writer as well as other writers,” continues Martin. “I tried to assemble a collection of articles that spoke to that, as well as supplying plenty of practical advice.”
The 2007 edition will appear in bookstores July 10, with an official pub date of August 1, 2007.

For a lot of small businesses, July is a slow season – the perfect time to reflect and course correct, so they can end the year deep in the black. “The Secret to Making Your Business “Go Nuts in 2007,” a free special report offered by a New Hampshire-based brand strategy firm and a Dignity Marketing company, offers seven tactics for these small businesses and service professionals to attract more clients, build trust, and boost profits. Download the free report at www.GoNutsIn2007.com.
Most business owners look at January as the perfect time to refresh their focus, correct past mistakes, and set a bold new course to improve their performance.
But with vendors and clients alike prioritizing beach days over business meetings, and so many professionals out on vacations with their families, July presents a promising opportunity to analyze, evaluate, and make powerful decisions that can improve a business’ bottom line come December 31st.
That’s why two creative companies - Acorn Creative and Epiphanies, Inc. – encourage businesses to rethink and recharge their success strategies with a free special report, “The Secret to Making Your Business Go Nuts in 2007,” available as a PDF download at www.GoNutsIn2007.com.
“Business owners and solo professionals can get overwhelmed when it comes to deciding how to spend their marketing dollars,” says Acorn Creative’s “Chief Nut” Kevin Skarritt. “So they spend out of desperation, instead of focusing on making a strong emotional connection with their target audience. This report explains how to do just that.”
Acorn Creative and Epiphanies, Inc. originally launched the report in December 2006. It attracted hundreds of entrepreneurs, marketing managers, and small business owners across the United States. By downloading the “Go Nuts Report,” they took advantage of thousands of dollars worth of branding knowledge and marketing insight, distilled into a brisk 18-page manifesto.
Both Acorn Creative and Epiphanies, Inc. work with clients to help them create emotional connections and long-term relationships with their target markets. The two businesses focus on different aspects of this goal: Acorn performs brand consulting, graphic design, and website development, while Epiphanies specializes in idea generation, information product creation, and Dignity Marketing strategies.
In addition to the secret they reveal in the Go Nuts Report, the creative allies also lay out the underlying strategy behind Acorn’s design process – a strategy that’s helped Acorn win “Best of the Web” honors from Forbes magazine for the last seven years. They also describe seven ways a business can put those ideas into action for themselves.
“July really is the new January,” says Lani Voivod, co-founder and “Content Lover” at Epiphanies, Inc., and contributor to The New Writer’s Handbook 2007: A Practical Anthology of Best Advice for Your Craft & Career. “Take action now, put the past six months behind you, and you still have a chance to be a magnet for the kind of success you wanted to create when you started out this year.”
“The Secret to Making Your Business Go Nuts in 2007” free special report is available online at www.GoNutsIn2007.com.
