Content Marketing ? Article Writing Tips | Business 2 Community

Outlined below are tips and advice that I give to clients looking to start writing content marketing articles for their website. This article is the first of a series of articles on how to grow your small business website into a lead generating machine.

Tip 1. Writing your Article.

Short paragraphs are easier for the reader to follow. No one likes to look at a long block of solid text. Three, four or five sentences are usually enough for one paragraph.

Don?t be afraid to spill all the beans! Tell your trade secrets! No, I am not crazy, the more you tell, the more the demand you will create for your goods and services. If you give more information, people will understand that you really are an authority on the subject that you are speaking about.

Give concrete examples and personal experiences to back up your points. Tell how you faced a problem and how you solved it. Emphasize the benefits of your product or service. When it comes to selling, it is the benefits that sell, rather than the features. Sure, you are selling garden supplies, home d?cor, clothing, gifts and jewelry on your website. These are features. But the benefits are that people can get these items in one place without shopping around, that they can save time and money, etc. The gurus all say that you should constantly mention the benefits that you offer to your potential customer.

Keep your most important information near the beginning of the article and summarize what you want to say at the end. Editors usually cut things near the end, so keep your most important points and ideas in the beginning of the article. At the very end of the article you can summarize what you set out to accomplish in your opening paragraph.

It may sound obvious but I can?t stress enough how important that this one thing is in relation to writing the content of your article. The article must be precisely related to the title you previously chose for the article. If the body of your article is different from the title then website visitors who visit your site based on wanting information in your article title will quickly leave your website and lose trust with you.

Market those articles to online content providers using link building strategies which I will cover in my next articles. Be sure to include your byline at the end of your article, including your name, company name, call to action and website address

Article Writing TipsTip 2. The best time to write articles.

I find it is always best to start writing content with a fresh mind, that is one without any distractions. Turn off your cell phone, don?t have your email open and just dedicate 100% to creating content.

Tip 3. Importance of uniqueness.

No shortcuts, yes you can use other sites for inspiration however you must ensure that content is unique. If content is not unique you will actually be penalized in search results.

More tips, strategies and an easy to follow system for starting a content marketing strategy for your website can be found in my Kindle book, Small Business Search Mastery.

On Rethinking Networking | Business 2 Community

Maya's LinkedIn NetworkOne introvert?s network.

Why do we network? It?s an important question that most of us don?t consider. I didn?t until I started my business in 2004. People told me that networking would be an important way to build my practice. I agreed and started going to traditional, cocktail-style, business card passing events.

I?m a bona fide introvert. What that means is that, at the end of a standard networking event, I?m exhausted and want to curl up by myself with a book for a few hours. Traditional networking was something I forced myself to do, usually by gritting my teeth, setting a simple goal like ?Meet two new people and then you can go home,? and soldiering through the experience. Not so much fun.

I soon tired of those large events. Not only that, I realized that I was not getting any business through that kind of networking. Over and over again, my work came from referrals from people I knew well and cared about: former colleagues, people with shared interests, former clients. Slowly, I realized that I needed to radically shift how I thought about networking. I needed to focus more on keeping existing connections strong and less on meeting new people. I needed to go to large events only when the topic genuinely interested me.

At a large industry meeting last week, however, I once again fell into the networking trap. I had just led two sessions on the art and science of networking and felt some self-imposed pressure: I?m supposed to be an expert at this! So I pushed at a woman until I found a reason to give her my card. It felt unpleasant and I?m sure she?ll never want to reconnect.

I realized that, despite all I know about networking, I still secretly expect that I?ll gather a ton of business cards, make fantastic connections, and end up with millions of dollars in new business. I?m always disappointed and slightly guilty when that doesn?t happen. Surely, if I just did something differently, all those fantasies would come true.

I suspect that others share these feelings of disappointment and guilt. It?s time to set up different expectations for networking.

Why Do We Network?

Back to the basics: what is networking and why do we do it? Here?s what a few experts have to say.

Dennis Stevenson on Toolbox writes: ?What is networking? Simply put, it is helping others. Ta Da! That?s really the whole concept.?

Whoa. Now that?s radical. No mention of sales, fantastic connections, building a marketing base, or gaining new clients. No, says Dennis. It?s about helping others.

James Clear on Passive Panda says: ?The goal of networking should be to help other people. Yes, it would be nice if they helped you out as well, but networking is a two-way street. And your side of the street is all about helping others, not asking them to help you. Asking for favors should only become a possibility once you have learned more about the person and provided some value to them.?

Wait a sec: James is saying the same thing as Dennis. Networking is all about helping others.

Maybe it?s time to really get this in our bones: networking is not about building business. It?s about helping others.

That?s a much easier expectation to hold during networking. Once we readjust, we find that networking shifts from an onerous chore to something that?s actually fun. We can stop beating ourselves up for skipping those mass events and find ways to network that fit our introverted styles.

Watch for the next post, which will give a starter list of techniques suited to networking for introverts.

Chevy Chase is leaving NBC's sitcom 'Community'

(AP) ? The NBC series "Community" will finish the season without Chevy Chase.

Sony Pictures Television said Wednesday that the actor is leaving the sitcom by mutual agreement with producers.

His immediate departure means he won't be included in the last episode or two of the show's 13-episode season, which is still in production.

Chase had a rocky tenure playing a bored and wealthy man who enrolls in community college. The actor publicly expressed unhappiness at working on a sitcom and feuded last year with the show's creator and former executive producer, Dan Harmon.

The fourth-season premiere of "Community" is Feb. 7, when it makes a delayed return to the 8 p.m. EST Thursday time slot. The show's ensemble cast includes Joel McHale and Donald Glover.

Republicans hunt for election lessons as wounds heal

Charles Krupa / AP

A campaign worker removes candidate signs from in front of Mitt Romney's campaign office in Manchester, N.H., Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012.

By Tom Curry, NBC News national affairs writer

As Republicans nurse their wounds from last week's election setbacks, they?re trying to learn the right lessons from defeat, studying outcomes in various House and Senate races, and pondering how best to position themselves when it comes to the politics of immigration.

Mitt Romney?s poor performance among Latino voters in states like Nevada and Colorado helped undermine his chances of victory in those battlegrounds.?As a result, some Republicans are drawing the lesson that their party must find a message and a candidate to ensure they do not end up, as Romney did in Nevada, winning only about one-in-four Latino voters.

Romney lost that state by 66,000 votes, or 6.6 percentage points.

?The handwriting is on the wall,? said Republican pollster Whit Ayres, the co-founder of a group called "Resurgent Republic."

?Until Republican candidates figure out how to perform better among non-white voters, especially Hispanics and Asians, Republican presidential contenders will have an extraordinarily difficult time winning presidential elections from this point forward,? he said.

Warning of a demographic apocalypse for the GOP was Texas Senator-elect Ted Cruz who told The New Yorker, ?If Republicans do not do better in the Hispanic community, in a few short years Republicans will no longer be the majority party in our state.?

MSNBC's Thomas Roberts talks to former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and former New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg, co-chair of the "Fix the Debt" campaign.

And since New York and California supply such a huge and utterly dependable source of electoral votes for the Democrats, if Texas joined them in going Democratic in presidential races, which hasn't happened since 1976, then, Cruz said, ?The Republican Party would cease to exist.?

But in Nevada, Republican incumbent Dean Heller won his Senate race even as Romney was losing the state ? and among Latino voters, Heller won just about what Romney won: about one quarter of them.

However, there were significant differences between the Senate race and the presidential race in Nevada: one was the weakness of Democratic candidate Rep. Shelley Berkley among black voters who accounted for nearly one out of ten voters in in Nevada.

While President Barack Obama carried 92 percent of black voters, Berkley won only seven out of ten. Berkley also under-performed among women voters, getting 48 percent to Obama?s 57 percent, according to exit poll interviews.

Latinos and immigrants participate in a rally on immigration reform in front of the White House on Nov. 8, 2012 in Washington, D.C.

And among the three-fifths?of the Nevada electorate who believe that most illegal immigrants working in the United States should be offered a chance to apply for legal status, Berkley lagged Obama?s performance by ten points, according to exit polls.

Nevada also has a ?none of these candidates? line on the ballot and that option drew 4.5 percent of the voters in that Senate race but only 0.6 percent of those who voted in the presidential contest in Nevada.

In July, the House Ethics Committee announced that it was opening an investigation into whether Berkley had violated the "Code of Official Conduct" or any law by her alleged intervention on behalf of businesses in which her husband had a financial interest. That fact may explain why Berkley lagged Obama.

Independent American Party candidate David Lory VanDerBeek, a small government conservative, also won nearly 5 percent of the Nevada vote, but if anything, his votes came from Heller and not from Berkley.

Now as the Senate looks toward the legislative agenda for 2013, newly elected Republican senators such as Cruz and Senator-elect Jeff Flake of Arizona, as well as returning GOP senators such as Heller, must decide whether to support the Democrats? Dream Act which would give legal status to young non-citizens brought to the United States illegally by their parents.

Flake told NPR last week that Republicans ?need to deal with this issue in ways different than we've approached it in the past ... We need to deal with the very real problem presented by the Dreamers ??those who are here through no fault of their own. I think the Republicans can get out front on that issue and offer a long-term solution, not just the short-term solution that's been put forward by the president.?

But an accommodating policy toward legalizing illegal immigrants would raise strategic questions for Republicans: last Tuesday in Nevada, Arizona, and other states, Latino voters supported Obama and other Democratic candidates by a ratio of nearly three-to-one.

If adding millions of younger Latino residents to the legal resident population (and eventually to the citizen voting population) means adding millions more Democrats, then how is that a winning strategy for Republicans?

Tony Dejak / AP

A man walks out of the Ohio headquarters of Mitt Romney campaign office carrying a "Nobama 2012 sign," Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, in Columbus, Ohio.

?Who?s to say they?re going to be Democrats then?? Ayres asked, referring to the potential pool of younger immigrants who might eventually gain citizenship if Congress enacts some version of the Dream Act. ?They don?t want a handout or a guarantee, they want an opportunity. They?d like to keep more of what they earn; they?d like the opportunity to start businesses and an opportunity to start a family. A great many of those people have the work ethic and the entrepreneurial spirit and the family orientation to be good solid Republicans ? if we stop the tone that suggests we don?t want them as part of our coalition.?

The last time the Dream Act was put to a vote, in 2010, only three Republican senators and only eight House Republicans voted for it. If Republicans who voted against the Dream Act just two years ago now reverse or trim their positions on immigration, is every vote GOP candidates might gain among Latino voters offset by a vote they?ll lose among those who oppose giving legal status to illegal immigrants?

Again Ayres has an answer to this. Referring to GOP voters who today oppose the Dream Act, he asked, ?Who?s to say they?re single-issue voters? And who?s to say they aren?t capable of being persuaded by the likes of Marco Rubio??

Rubio is the Republican senator from Florida, and a potential 2016 GOP presidential contender, who has proposed his own version of a legalization program for younger illegal immigrants, but one that is less lenient and expansive than the version Democrats offered in 2010.

One other puzzle Republicans will need to solve if they are to win more elections in 2014 and beyond is how to make smaller government appealing to more voters, or in other words, how to offer voters less in the way of tangible benefits.

But the reason that Republicans were successful in exploiting the Medicare issue during the 2010 midterms is not because they were making a smaller government/fewer benefits argument.

Instead, they were arguing that Obamacare would take away older Americans? Medicare benefits, since the Affordable Care Act intends to squeeze hundreds of billions of dollars in more savings out of Medicare, partly to help pay for an expansion of Medicaid for poor people.

By a narrow majority in the national exit poll sample, and by a wider majority in states such as Arizona, voters last week agreed with the idea that ?government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals.? That indicates that perhaps Romney?s message got through to voters on the failed federally subsidized energy firms such as Solyndra and A123 Systems.

In the short term, Flake, for one, is taking a wait-and-see approach toward Obamacare, the most visible symbol of bigger government.

CNBC's Eamon Javers talks about the upcoming meeting between President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders.

He thinks that parts of it will self-destruct. ?There are parts of Obamacare that I think will probably fall of their own weight,? Flake told NPR.

Outright repeal isn?t in the cards, but Flake argued that once people see how expensive Obamacare mandates are for his state and others ? and once people see employers refusing to hire more than 50 people for fear they?d have to comply with Obamacare mandates, then voters might see that ?the Republican way will be the way to deal with it.?

Weirdly human armadillo in samurai armour

Rowan Hooper, news editor

1st-0087_Armadillo_Crossing.jpg

(Images from Tim Flach's latest book, More than Human (Abrams))

I see this armadillo, in its close-fitting samurai armour, and think: cool animal. Then I see that it is raised on its front claws and think: furtive, scrabbling beast. Then I take in the pink ear and the long bristles, the marble eye, and I think: vulnerable animal.

It's no surprise that this shot of a southern three-banded armadillo (Tolypeutes matacus) has such a weirdly human quality. Photographer Tim Flach, who is based in London, is well known for the humanising quality he brings to his pictures.

"With the armadillo I just thought it looked cool - it was about the aesthetics of the animal," he says. "I knew it was the only species that can roll into a complete ball, that's why we wanted to shoot this one, to get the contrast."

The three bands that give this animal its name provide flexibility of movement and allow it to curl its head to its tail, protecting all soft areas from predators. That's part of the contrast Flach is interested in. The southern three-banded armadillo can protect itself pretty well in a ball of armour, but it is nevertheless a near-threatened species: its habitat is being converted to farmland, and it is hunted for the pet trade and for food. "We like to use the aesthetic of these beautiful images to engage the viewer, to bring the viewer to the debate," Flach says.

Study: US judges' criminal caseloads vary widely

HOLD FOR RELEASE AFTER 6:30 P.M. EST AND THEREAFTER ON SUNDAY, NOV. 11, 2012 - FILE - In this May 1, 2008, photo, Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court in Washington is pictured during a ceremony where the title of chief judge for the U.S. District Court in Washington was passed from Judge Thomas F. Hogan to Lamberth at the federal courthouse in Washington. Federal judges across the nation are shouldering criminal caseloads that vary widely in size, sometimes even among judges in the same courthouse, according to a study released Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012. The study by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University found three courthouses where the judge with the largest criminal caseload had sentenced more than twice the number of defendants as the judge with the smallest caseload from October 2006 through July 2012. They were Los Angeles, Beaumont, Texas, and Camden, N.J. On the opposite end, the courthouse in the nation?s capital had the lowest average number of criminal defendants sentenced per judge _ 147 over the nearly six years in the study. "We have many more complex cases than most of the districts listed in the report,." said Lamberth. He noted that the court handles public corruption cases, white-collar cases, and any prosecution for obstruction of Congress, which can be time-consuming. Just this year, the court tried former baseball pitcher Roger Clemens on charges of perjury, making false statements and obstructing Congress for denying he had used performance-enhancing drugs.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Federal judges across the nation are shouldering criminal caseloads that vary widely in size, sometimes even among judges in the same courthouse, according to a new study.

The study by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, at Syracuse University found three courthouses where the judge with the largest criminal caseload had sentenced more than twice the number of defendants as the judge with the smallest caseload from October 2006 through July 2012. They were Los Angeles; Beaumont, Texas; and Camden, N.J.

Overall, the study found 18 courthouses where the heaviest sentencing load was at least 1.4 times larger than the smallest.

The study, release Sunday, was made possible because the clearinghouse, which uses the Freedom of Information Act to collect criminal justice data, earlier this year assembled the first publicly available database of sentencing records, sortable by judge.

Judges in the courthouses with the widest disparities cited unique local circumstances to explain the differences.

David Sellers, a spokesman for the administrative office of U.S. courts, said he wasn't surprised or concerned with these findings. He noted, however, that the judiciary needs more judges, particularly along the Southwest border.

That appeal for more judges was buttressed by another finding of the study that documented a more widely known disparity in criminal caseloads between districts in different regions. These regional differences are driven by the large number of immigration cases along the Southwest border where judges have long complained they handle too many cases to give each one proper consideration.

The clearinghouse study analyzed the criminal caseloads of 430 federal district judges who were all active for the entire study period, almost six years. It measured workload by sentencings and excluded acquittals because "acquittals are exceedingly rare," said Susan Long, a co-director of TRAC and co-author of the report, along with former New York Times investigative reporter David Burnham, TRAC's other co-director.

Atop the list of districts with internal disparities were the two federal courthouses in Los Angeles. One judge there had sentenced 305 people, while another had sentenced 134.

George H. King, chief judge of the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California, said he had not had an opportunity to review the study or its methodology and declined to comment. But officials in other jurisdictions with the widest disparities provided explanations.

Second in internal disparity was Beaumont, Texas, which has just two judges: Marcia A. Crone, who sentenced 1,288 people during the period, and Ron Clark, who sentenced around 618. Both judges called that divide a reflection of how they divide the work in other courthouses they must travel to as part of their responsibilities, with Clark handling more civil cases and Crone more criminal cases.

The third greatest internal disparity was in Camden, N.J. Jerome Simandle, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for New Jersey, said two of Camden's four judges took no part in many criminal cases early in their tenure because of their former jobs as prosecutors. They both joined the court in 2006, which was coincidentally the beginning of the study period.

In addition, experienced judges tend to get cases that are related to cases they are already working on, Simandle said. "So experienced judges tend to get more cases," Simandle said.

TRAC contacted clerks in a sample of districts. The clerks who agreed to be interviewed "uniformly indicated that while judges were randomly assigned by the court's computerized software system, adjustments were allowed in the 'odds of selection' when directed by the chief judge in a district (or sometimes by an individual judge)," the report stated.

TRAC's comparison of caseloads between regions confirmed that courthouses on the Southwest border had by far the highest number of sentences. Atop the list was the courthouse in Las Cruces, N.M., where Judge Robert C. Brack is the only district judge, with 7,020 defendants sentenced. The next four were other Texas courthouses in McAllen, Midland, El Paso and Del Rio. Each of the judges in those courthouses averaged more than 4,600 sentences. The 11 courthouses with the highest caseloads were all on the border, "because of the government's sharply increased emphasis on the criminal enforcement of immigration matters," the report stated.

On the opposite end, the courthouse in the nation's capital had the lowest average number of criminal defendants sentenced per judge ? 147 over the nearly six years in the study.

"We have many more complex cases than most of the districts listed in the report," said Washington's chief judge, Royce Lamberth. He noted that the court handles public corruption cases, white-collar cases and any prosecution for obstruction of Congress, which can be time-consuming. Just this year, the court tried former baseball pitcher Roger Clemens on charges of perjury, making false statements and obstructing Congress for denying he had used performance-enhancing drugs. A jury acquitted Clemens of all charges after a trial that lasted more than nine weeks.

"So comparing a case in which there's a one-hour, at most, guilty plea in an immigration violation, and probably one hour spent on sentencing, can't really compare to the kinds of cases we're doing," Lamberth said

Sellers, spokesman for the office that provides administrative support to federal courts, said that differences in caseloads have "been a reality of judging ? not just in federal courts ? for more than two centuries."

"I would liken this to a study that concludes that cars traveling on the same road, or different roads, travel at different speeds," Sellers said.

That doesn't mean things can't be improved, he added. "There are courts that have tremendous needs for new judgeships, particularly on the Southwest border. There are longstanding judicial vacancies." But the judiciary doesn't control the number of judges.

The report acknowledged that Congress, which funds the courts, and the executive branch, which brings prosecutions, both have a responsibility for helping to manage criminal caseloads.

Brooklyn Heights townhouse, with $5.2M ask, trades

November 12, 2012 12:00PM
By Zachary Kussin

A Brooklyn Heights townhouse with a $5.2 million ask has entered contract, a Corcoran spokesperson confirmed.?The home, at 14 College Place, is the third most expensive single-family home on the market in Brooklyn, according to Streeteasy.

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home was being marketed by the Corcoran Group?s Lindsay Barton Barrett, Debra LaChance and Denise LaChance.

The 25-foot-wide home has a garage, elevator, garden, a semi-finished basement and a gas fireplace. The property adjoins another single-family townhouse, 12 College Place, which traded hands this summer for $4.85 million.

If the listing sold for its $5.2 million ask, it would be the eighth most expensive townhouse marketed as a single-family home or single-family conversion to trade in the borough in the past six years.

A Corcoran spokesperson said the listing agents declined to comment on the sale.
