Australia’s love affair with online shopping is a gift that keeps on giving.

Every day, we receive more email than we’ll ever open. At some point, it seemed like a good idea to sign up for a particular mailing list or subscribe to a favorite group’s updates. But the flow of email rarely slows, so most of us are picky about what we actually open and read. If […]

It’s time we have a talk about content cannibalization. Disclaimer: You might be offended but this is a conversation that needs to be had. Okay, ready? Better metrics aren’t always good for your business. What the heck does that mean? Let me explain. Marketers often cannibalize their content by putting the carriage in front of […]

The sad truth is that most people do email marketing all wrong. Fifteen percent of marketers were willing to admit that their email marketing stinks, but the real number is probably much, much higher. Everyone uses email.

Email receipts are the easiest way into an inbox, yet they’re the most underutilized form of email marketing. If you own a brick-and-mortar store, why would you pay for paper that you know customers will throw away or lose? A digital copy, delivered straight to the inbox, is environmentally friendly, easy to find and perfect […]

A few months ago, I came across a post on the Moz blog about creating “big content.” It was witty, insightful and impressively thorough. By the time I reached the end of the article, I was hungry for more. It turns out that the author, one Mackenzie Fogelson, is also the founder and CEO of […]

Did you know that Lego has been marketing content since 1987? That, Red Bull sends its Red Bulletin magazine to over 5 million subscribers? That John Deere runs the largest farming magazine worldwide, and it’s been in circulation since 1895? Content marketing is hugely popular in 2014.

I’m sure you’ve heard this before: if it’s free, you are the product. Think about it. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+ and every other social network are all free because they charge advertisers to reach users.
