Tumblr, is a bit like the new kid on the block – everyone wants to meet them, but no one is really sure what they will be like, how they will fit into their current environment, and whether they will want to get to know them better.
If you do nothing else this month, take some time to learn about Tumblr, because it truly is one of the easiest ways to make money online.
Blogging has quickly become one of the most effective ways to make money. That’s because there is so much flexibility within the concept of blogging. Tumblr changes the way we weblogs in that it is a microblogging site, which means your messages are shorter.
The old tricks of SEO are dead, and with them go the content farms, the scraper pirates and other unsavory characters who trafficked in sub-par content. What's being rewarded today? High quality content, strong social editorial planning and fresh detail. Here's a quick guide to better understand the changes and what you and your team need to consider for your social editorial strategy.
Are you a small business owner who is looking to leverage social media for building your business? Have you heard about Twitter and want to decide if it is an appropriate channel to use? Are you new to Twitter and want to learn more? Then this presentation will introduce you to Twitter, give you helpful tips on getting started and using Twitter for you or your business.

Amplification is about catching bigger waves
What blogs do you read?
Most corporate blogs are • Boring • Bland • Safe What kind of blogs do you read? • Opinionated • Surprising • Have a point of view • Teach you something
What is Content Marketing?
How important is content marketing? Content wins for most effective strategy; but it’s also the hardest to implement
Amplification = content x channel
What is Amplification?

Section Two: Research
Start with People
People first The first question you need to ask is: “who do I want to reach?” Section Two Every good product, website, campaign, and piece of writing starts with people in mind.
How do you choose your audience?
Technique #2: draw a venn diagram
Our target audience is: __________________
Finding pain
Section Two When you understand your audience’s pain you’ll be able to better define their problem.
Example: pjrvs.com
Focus on their needs
Observe people in their habitat
Where do people hang out?
Research examples: where would you find managers?
What are you looking for? BIG problems trends pain points frustrations
Observing trends
Yesterday I saw this tweet:
He’s tweeting about this site: The Grid
He’s not happy about it
A lot of other designers don’t like it either
I go to Designer News:
Where have I seen this before?
What’s the trend we’re observing? Designers are feeling threatened.
This takes time. Collect and organize your research.
Sample research I’m using an app called keeeb.com to track trends.
Listen
Focus on your audience’s biggest problems
Organize your research • Record your findings • Organize them into groupings • Identify a big pain / issue / topic you could focus on You grow an audience by targeting a topic people care about!
Section Three: Writing & Promotion 3
Write for your audience
Writing viral content is hard.
Great, shareable content…
Why do people share content?
Types of content
Amplify your content
Which train are you going to hitch your content to? Your own small network Someone else’s big network
Effects of amplification
Two types of amplifiers: 1
How do you build relationships with influencers?
How do you earn the right to on online communities? Add value Hacker News Designer News Product Hunt
Target the right networks
Coordinate your efforts
Example 1: Groovehq
Coordinate your launch
The game plan
A note on Hacker News, Designer News, Product Hunt, Reddit…
It typically takes about 20-30 minutes for a story to slip off the "New Submissions" page. That's your window to get enough votes to appear on the front page.
The algorithm on News Sites favours new content
Can you game the system?
Timing is important

How to make your shit pop on the internet, for non-profits, activists, and organizers.
Some stuff clearly copped from the good people at Upworthy.
Also, I'm sorry that Slideshare broke my typography and my GIFs. You'll have to see it in person one day.
For the last couple of years, social media for businesses has been synonymous with engagement, transparency and authenticity. Social media managers have been desperately trying to get users on Facebook and Twitter to engage with their companies online. To have them comment, like, retweet and share their content, in order to “re-invent” their marketing or even become a true “social business” (whatever that means).
But do people really want to know how the sausage is made? Do they want to engage with the people who manufacture their toilet paper or see the office, their telephone subscription is supported from? And do they even really care, if your company’s marketing is authentic? What if all of those ultra-humanistic dogmas only live in the head of social media evangelists – and do not reflect the needs and desires of most real life consumers?
The Danish internet psychologist, Anders Colding, tells his personal story about how he started as a true believer and ended as a hardline skeptic. In this talk, he takes a brutally critical look at the dogmas, that have been floating around for way too long and helps you become a more critical user of social platforms.
I'm always updating my popular deck on creating content that works for social media. There are a lot of things to take into consideration in your content marketing efforts. These tips will give you a leg up.

“To be integrated is to feel secure, to feel connected.” The views and experi...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

6. But before we push ahead …
Skeptics will ask:
Does he know what
he’s talking about?
7. Yes, it works.
I learned what I know
by launching and running
the Chicago Tribune’s
email services for a decade.
8. ... sent to tens of thousands of subscribers
on my watch, 2000-2009.
… often achieved Tribune Co. editorial newsletter-
leading 60 percent clickthrough rates
–60 clicks per 100 recipients.
Yes, it works.
[“Charlie is a pioneer in the e-newsletter headline business.”
—Rick Kaempfer, Illinois Entertainer, April 2017]
9. Yes, it works.
A major professional organization that followed the
advice you’re about to get (after I was embedded
with the team for four days)—a site that previously
hadn’t strung together two successive months of
record traffic—achieved record pageviews ...
• for the next 5 straight months.
• for 10 of the following 12 months.
14. Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism:
The Resurgence and Importance of Email Newsletters
“Email newsletters, once thought of as low-tech
and unfashionable, are proving increasingly
valuable to publishers looking to build strong
direct relationships with audiences. Email can
help build habit and loyalty, which is particularly
important for new business models.”
15. Do you …
• Check Facebook, Twitter and email regularly?
• Check all three at least once a day?
• When you check them, scroll all the way back
to the last item you checked …
On email?
On Facebook?
On Twitter?
16. • Email summons at will your most devoted users.
• … who then share their interests (by clicking).
• It awaits their attention, unlike social-media rivers.
• It’s -independent!
• It’s fixed, unlike Web site front pages – and so, an
easier gauge of elements’ relative popularity,
especially with …
• Heat maps, or click maps, making patterns easy to spot.
The joy of email
17. But to get that intel from email …
You need people to
open it.
18. And the key to doing that?
Good, old-
fashioned writing.
19. Secrets for getting people to tune in:
Omit needless words.
—Will Strunk, The Elements of Style, 1918.
• Twitter.
• Texting.
• Tiny smartphone screens that truncate subject lines.
Need we say more?
20. • Make your most interesting word
or phrase the first element—the
first word of your headline or subject
line or post—and let your writing flow
from there.
meyersonstrategy.com/2007/04/good-radio-writing.html
Secrets for getting people to tune in:
21. But what are the most interesting words?
Develop a
sense of
the
wider
world’s
priorities
by
checking
sites like
Google
Trends:
google.co
m/trends
/
22. What are the most interesting words?
Develop a sense of your audience’s
priorities by monitoring clicks.
25. Good headlines
Connect content
to the maximum number of people
to whom it’s
useful and relevant.
They begin with the most interesting words.
They’re brief; they omit needless words.
They create a curiosity gap.
26. Bad headlines
Fail to connect content
with people who’d find it
useful and relevant.
They’re long, boring and irrelevant.
They don’t spotlight interesting words.
They generate little curiosity.
Or
Connect content
with people to whom it’s
neither useful nor relevant
(turning them off to future communication).
32. Compare those dispatches in the last few slides to these.
Would you click or delete?
Strunk and White: “Use definite,
specific, concrete language.”
40. Headlines that work
Two purposes:
• Search-engine-optimized (SEO) headlines
(headlines for robots*).
Good for page-level placement.
• “Curiosity gap”-optimized headlines
(headlines for people*).
Good for front-page and email placement, for
print publications ... and for social media
(Twitter, Facebook).
*Andy Crestodina: orbitmedia.com/blog/write-for-robots-write-for-people/
41. Headlines for robots
These are the stupid-simple headlines that tell the story
plainly—that look like the answer to a Google query:
Portland police arrest 127 in protest
(Answers searches like “Portland protest”)
42. Headlines for humans
The difference between what you know
and what you want to know
The Onion … begins with dozens of headlines
and works on them until they create … “a
curiosity gap”—a need to know more that
prompts the impulse to click on something.
—the late David Carr, The New York Times
43. Headlines for humans
Assume most people (think they) aren’t
interested.
• Write headlines to engage them, and your core
audience will still be there for you.
• Play down location.
(Except locations well-known to your audience.)
• Play down names.
(Except names well-known to your audience.)
(Use generic nouns for unfamiliar names.)
44. Headlines for humans
• Questions:
COVID-careful … or OCD?
• Ellipses, teases:
Nation’s sickest city is …
• Pull-quotes:
‘Suck it up, wussies’
45. For all headlines
Place the story’s most
relevant or engaging
word or phrase as close
as possible to the start.
46. In all kinds of headlines, avoid …
ACRONYMS.
Image: business2community.com/marketing/42-b2b-marketing-acronyms-and-abbreviations-0192246
The addictive drugs of
headline writing.
Avoid them.
Unless your readers say
otherwise.
(And they probably
won’t.)
47. The power of YOU
The Onion:
Second-Person Narrative Enthralling You
CHICAGO—In a piece of writing that had you intrigued
from the very first clause, a second-person narrative you
are reading right at this very moment is absolutely
captivating you, sources reported. “Wow, I can’t believe
this is happening,” you are thinking as you move through
the narrative, which at first merely piqued your interest
but is now completely and utterly taking hold of you …
48. The case for sentence case
... vs. Title Case for headlines:
• Concrete nouns drive traffic.
• The most concrete concrete
nouns are Proper Nouns.
• So why not make Proper Nouns
easier to find?
49. Once you have a great subject line …
… make sure the inside of your
email is engaging and accessible.
50. Make sure your content is
engaging and accessible.
Stick to one column.
Smartphones render
multicolumn email illegible.
52. Make sure your content is
engaging and accessible.
Include many links every time.
Even—maybe especially—if you’re
sending readers to off-site content, the
relative popularity of those links gives
you valuable intel.
53. Make sure your content is
engaging and accessible.
Don’t use images for images’ sake.
• If they’re not compelling at smartphone size, they
push down more engaging content.
• Lose that hulking masthead or logo at the top of
your email. (People don’t open email if they don’t
know who sent it, and your From field will have
made that clear.)
