Beyond Articles Part 2: 10 More Creative Ways to Distribute Your Content

Last week, I gave you 10 ideas for spreading one single article all over the Internet without having to rewrite or spinning it.

If you take the extra time and effort to rewrite, you’ll get even more content out there to promote your business. It’s much easier to create new content when you already have something to work with – much easier than starting from scratch.

Transcripts Improve Your Blog

Using a transcript to expand your blog is always a good way to make the most of your material. Transcripts are simply the written record of a spoken conversation.

How Are You Making Your Mark in the Content Revolution?

I was recently flipping through the November issue of Oprah the other day and stopped on an article by Martha Beck titled “Half A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste.”  The article, a very interesting one, talks about how the majority of us don’t use the right hemisphere of our brain as much as our left hemisphere.
