-consuming but worth it.
It’s all fun and games until your website gets hit with a penalty.
It’s easier to try and siphon money from customers quickly instead of building relationships that increase customer lifetime value.
Marketing advice and live advice have a lot in common.
Don’t try a marketing “crash diet.” Marketing is an attitude and a lifestyle. If you’re sincere about trying to do well, you will. If you’re not, you won’t.
The internet is flooded with bad copy.
Great copy uses simple language based on things your target audience is thinking.
They’re not thinking about how long you’ve been in business. They’re thinking about how your business can help them solve a problem. That’s it. Speaking to anything but that is waste of time, which is why it’s important to learn how to write copy.
Too many businesses lean on discounts right away.
Unless you’re in a commodity business, your first instinct shouldn’t be to join the race to the bottom.
When you have a great product and customers believe it will solve their problem, price becomes a triviality.
Don’t lower your prices. Up your marketing.
If you can share the long-term vision and goals with your company or team members, you can get them to invest in it and communication between different departments will be much easier.
Sales and marketing should be on the same page.
SEO and content marketing often requires the help of developers. Keep them in the loop, too.
It’s worth taking time to meet with your team and review your marketing goals.
Not only does this improve tactics, but it also improves morale.
How often do you take time to talk to the people who’ve already bought your product or service?
You can get huge insights from talking to your customers.
If you’re in a recurring service based business like we are, talking with your customers more often and asking them about their needs helps them feel “top of mind” and important.
Plus, if you see improvements you can help them make that aren’t covered with your current services, you can sell them to your current customers.
The best customers are often the ones you already have.
Here’s what’s going to happen. Once you get traction, you’ll enter a state of ‘marketing flow.’ When all the cylinders are firing — great content, outreach, traffic, social shares, etc — you can stay in that groove for a long time if you actively seek to maintain the momentum.
If you’re the content creator or marketer who’s doing the work yourself, take this a step further in your day to day activities.
Consistency and momentum matter most when it comes to marketing. Get in your zone and stay there.
Business and marketing have a serious purpose. Mainly, to make money.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be boring, ‘corporate’, and dry all the time.
If you actually like marketing, you’ll be a better marketer. If you treat marketing like a chore or an expense instead of an investment, then that’s what it will be.
Connect with your audience more, use humor, have a loose environment with your team (but still get things done).

Subtitled “The Mystery of A Victorian Child Murderer” this is the first Kate Summerscale I have read since “Suspicions of Mr Whicher”. I really enjoyed her examination of detective work in its infancy. In that book the author took a case from 1860 and provided us with a leisurely trawl through the facts and all the relevant documents. It was well-detailed and thoroughly researched and very readable. Her latest book is just as good.
I began this book with no idea as to what was to happen. It is 1895 and thirteen year old Robert Coombes and his twelve year old brother Nattie seem to be having a whale of a time- changing coins of large value, going off to Lords to see the cricket and going to the theatre. These boys have a secret and a plan. They tell neighbours that their mother is away and get a naive adult male friend of their fathers’s to come and stay with them. The revelation of their secret is as much a shock to him as it is to the local Plaistow residents.
All three are initially arrested for the crime and its aftermath and the trial makes fascinating reading. The press latch onto Robert’s treasured collection of “penny dreadful” comics and the simmering debate as to what is suitable material for children to read explodes. I found this theme one of the most absorbing features of Summerscale’s analysis.
The book becomes a study of “suitable” punishment for a child. Although it looks like the jury advocated clemency it actually made the punishment initially seem more severe but this is also a story of retribution and it is far from over at the end of the trial.
The adult lives of those who committed terrible crimes in childhood does hold a morbid fascination for me and in researching this Summerscale stumbled upon information which led her story into a completely different direction taking her to some of the most notorious battlefields of the First World War.
The motive for Robert’s crime was never clear but so much else has been found out about him. It is a sobering, grisly but ultimately quite life-enhancing tale. I’m aware that by jumping to this book I’ve missed out a couple of Summerscale works, (“The Queen Of Whale Cay” and “Mrs Robinson’s Disgrace”) and normally I’m a great one for reading books in publication order but I was drawn to the author returning to murder and just couldn’t wait to read this. I think she is excellent at bringing old crimes alive and at making her accounts of cases both highly readable and relevant to today.
The Wicked Boy was published in April 2016 by Bloomsbury. Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the advance review copy.

Just curious about the loophole book, which I also read it. What’s the most useful skill you used to improve your LR? When I read the book, it emphasized on rephrasing  the LR stimulus language to what we familiar with and making the stimulus simple to understand right? Other than that, I feel like it’s the same like what other prep material said. For example, necessary assumption thought process is “if the conclusion is true, the assumption from answer choice must be true.”?Purdue Boiling to Bounce Back vs. ND
Logan, Bob, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Purdue is searching for a way to drive around, over or through Notre Dame's defense.
By the time frustrated motorists arrive at Notre Dame Stadium, some well after today's opening kickoff (Ch. 5, 1:30 p.m.) on another trip to this intrastate feud, the Boilermakers might be backed up, too.
At least traffic-snarled fans will be able to tune in on their car radios if they can't get there soon enough to see if the Irish defense is really that rugged a roadblock.
This will be the first public glimpse of the project to renovate and add 22,000 seats in the house that Rockne built. It won't be finished until next season, and fewer parking spaces will find today's snarls being repeated for five more Irish games this fall.
Like all those overheated engines, there could be a note of desperation in Purdue's approach to this traditional battle. For one thing, the Boilers have been blowing off steam in vain for a decade.
Their last victory over Notre Dame was a convincing 35-17 decision at Ross-Ade Stadium in 1985. That was the last year of the Gerry Faust regime, and as soon as Lou Holtz took over, the Irish regained command of this rivalry.
Holtz has beaten three different Purdue coaches a total of 10 straight times, the last five of them at the expense of present incumbent Jim Colletto. His streak has boosted Notre Dame's overall series supremacy to a lopsided 44-21-2. …New Resolver Data Structure Pictures, or, Why I Need Lots of Pens
