This week on the blog, Brian Clark got our motor running on Monday with a thoughtful piece on what influence really means in a socially hyper-connected world — and how cheap shortcuts won’t do much more than waste your time.
On Tuesday, we introduced you to Loryn Thompson, our crazy-smart Data Analyst who also happens to love riding and working on vintage motorcycles. She’ll help you get started with social media advertising — without crashing into a concrete pillar.
And on Wednesday, I wrote about surviving the annoyances of social media, based on my nearly three decades of getting into pointless fights with people on the internet. I actually have figured a couple of things out, and I’m happy to share them with you.
On the Copyblogger FM podcast this week, I talked about the seven things that (in my experience) writers need to make a genuinely good living. And on The Writer Files, Kelton Reid looked into how bestselling author Douglas Coupland writes.
Hope you enjoy all the good stuff, and we’ll catch you next week!

“7 things writers need to make a living” was interesting. I think in some ways the web has made it even more challenging, as the speed of everything has made writing more of a commodity. (and the “death” of print / journalism) The jobs that pay well to have someone write days on a story are rare and the competition is incredible. anyway – thanks!
