In the Beginning Was ...

... the word ...

Why was that? There could have been many things in the beginning but one of the world's greatest books tells us it was the word.

Words have always fascinated me. Actually I'm in awe of the fact that these lines & squiggles can be interpreted by your brain, inside your mind ... hey, I'm inside you mind!

And that's what this is all about. What used to be called "social intercourse" for a good reason. My words enter your eyes or ears (or fingertips which is even more amazing) and you 'translate' them into things, actions, answers, images, questions, ideas, facts, stories ...

The Site Within Site Ploy

Every now and then someone is dumb enough to send me some spam ... and every now and again I come across a new twist on an old scam. I thought this one was particularly interesting ... I call it the site within site...

I guess the theory is that you can hide bullshit inside horseshit and no one can smell the difference.

Using Keywords for Great Online Copy

If you're one of my regular readers, you might have noticed a few changes this New Year 2009 ... First, in response to many reader's requests, I've added my name and real face to this blog. Pleasure to virtually meet you!

Second, I'm refocusing my content on learning. Lessons. Great ideas to swipe borrow. Anything that will  help you write better copy, Market online more effectively. Swim upstream against the tide of the Great Recession.

For starters, I'm giving you eight lessons in using keywords to help optimize your copy. It's the biggest difference I've noticed between print copywriters and copywriter's who write for the web, and between good online copywriter's and great online copywriter's.

It's such a subtle difference that unless you know what you reading and looking for, you will probably miss it in the flow of carefully chosen words and constructed sentences, Once you learn it, you see it jump out at you as if the words were highlighted in bright yellow.

So here's a starter...

Coca-Cola, Africa and Viral Marketing

This is how marketing online should work. Viral. Taking an idea that could not be sold before and giving it what I like to call 'Digitas". This idea got digitas!

It's when a good idea becomes a great idea, a viral meme whose time has come. When it finds a home on the web, and takes on a life of it's own. 

This is also a great example of piggybacking on a super brand who already has the problem of mindshare solved ... btw, if you figure out why this happens please let me know, and you could win a new iPod.

It's a tragic fact of life today that one in five African children die before their fifth birthday from simple causes like dehydration from diarrhea. Basic medicines could save those children's lives, yet no means has been found to make them readily available. A new grassroots project, however, aims to tap into the formidable distribution network of none other than Coca-Cola to get life-saving medicines to the children who need them.
