No matter what your business, no matter what product, service or expertise you are selling, you need the right words to sell. Of course, in this “Web 2.0” world, there are so many places and platforms that need relevant and persuasive words – blogs, press releases, Squidoo lenses, articles, newsletters and bios/profiles for Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, to name a few.

Many successful marketers will tell you that copywriting – the ability to put what you are selling into words that actually sell – is the #1 most important skill to have in marketing. And this is true now more than ever.

No more spinning your wheels in your current online and social media marketing efforts…

Learn how to tweak and master your social message so that you have more business than you ever imagined…

Conquer the fears you have about using social media as a marketing tool…

Become a profitable content creation and distribution machine…easily and quickly.

My colleagues Craig Cannings of VAClassroom and Allison Nazarian of Get It In Writing have teamed up to present something that simply does not exist anywhere in the online training world. They saw an amazing opportunity to teach other entrepreneurs and professionals a very specific and easy-to-follow system to launch and profit from — their own “Content Creation and Distribution Machine!” In the world of social media, and social marketing in particular, your credibility, your visibility and your reputation are the measures of your success. And the key to being able to shine in social media lies in the words businesses use to have the conversations they are having.

Craig and Allison – and I – invite you to take advantage of this live, 5-week interactive training. This is an event you don’t want to miss – the “secret weapon” so many successful marketers have and use can (and should) be yours too.

At the end of 2008, I had an opportunity to read many blog posts from Internet experts making their predictions for 2009 and guess what was at the top of their list: Social Media Marketing. It is anticipated that Social Media will grow at unprecedented rates in 2009 and beyond as more and more businesses seek to leverage this powerful new marketing channel.

A further prediction is that Social Media Marketing Services will be in very high demand through 2009! Most businesses either lack the time or expertise to effectively carry out all the necessary Social Media Marketing Activities and will be seeking to delegate these tasks to skilled Social Media Marketing Specialists.

Did I read that correctly? WordPress is so big now that that have their own TV show?

Well, not really, they have developed an online learning center called wordpress.tv

It’s chocked full of tutorials for both self-hosted and WordPress.com sites. They call it “a visual resource for all things WordPress!”

I LOVE that. I’m a visual person and I learn much quicker if I can see it done rather that read how to do it.

So grab a snickers and a soda and watch wordpress.tv.
