  5. Headlines are often all that people read to decide to stay…To grab people’s attention they need to set tone, identify audience, tell people what they’re going, a promise the content has to keep
  6. Pokes fun at oneself while promising to deliver useful information to users at specific levels of expertise.Tone: Empathetic + humorous + humbleAudience: Beginning & intermediate Excel usersLearn: What a circular reference isPromise: Demystify a confusing error message
  7. Surprise subject (overtime the audience never knows what to expect from you, so checks back often) that identifies audience yet funny enough to reach beyond it. Uses word playTone: Funny, smart, hipAudience: Grammarians, writers, and rap loversLearn: A grammar tip from a rapper

  15. Links were way Google determined whether content is trustworthy. Still have their place but social signals beating them as means to establish trustworthiness.
  16. First is a tweet that is meant people to drive people to post. Word play. #amwriting is large group, Direct reply to Mac Lethal so he’ll potentially tweet it to his following.Speechwriterguyis someone Cynthia Hartwig met via twitter. Also met him in person. Now they trust each other and recommend each other.
  17. Landing page for the campaign is FB Tab. Where real content is delivered to be. Funny movie about getting a tattoo that gets screwed up. Blog’s role repeat the message write content suitable for blog.
