Quality vs. Quantity vs. Promotion on Your Blog

Food for thought on a Friday. AWeber had an informative webinar by a company called LeadPages. As is so often the case in these free webinars, the presentation was pretty cheesy, and felt a bit like being at the state fair: it slices, it dices, but wait - there's more!


Blog Promotion
I enjoyed it, however.  The product looks good, especially for those who are not good at Web design.  It helps you make quick landing pages for ad campaigns, email signups, or any other type of offer for which you want to "squeeze" out an email sign up.

The Takeaway: Good Enough Content Beats Great Content


Here's the unusual take-away. The presenter indicated that in their experience "high quality" information can be easily trumped by "low quality" information. The somewhat cynical idea being don't stress so much about having to produce the ultimate, best content. Just produce "good enough" content, and use it as your "carrot" to capture an email address or lead.

The rules might be - 


  • Create GOOD ENOUGH content not PERFECT content.
  • Promote this via advertising, social media, SEO, etc.
  • Capture Leads

Quality Issues on Social Media Marketing Workbook?

I'll move heaven, earth, and Amazon to fix it.

Conflation: To Blend or Confuse (Perhaps with the Purpose of Misleading Someone)

There's inflation (to get bigger) and conflation (to bring together). You may have heard people say something like "she's muddying the waters," evoking the idea of someone stirring up the dirt so you can't tell where the water begins and the dirt ends. Or two rivers coming together like the mighty Rio Solimoes (the Amazon) and the Rio Negro. In arguments, conflation is used when you try to point out to your opponent (or audience) that the thinker is taking one thing and confusing it or muddling it up with another. An example might be something like: Hitler was a terrible person. He was really immoral. Hitler believed that the world was round. The world can't be round, because Hitler was immoral. Oops, you're conflating Hitler's moral character (or lack thereof), with a statement of truth or falsehood ; whether the world is flat or not. We're conflating two separate logical concepts. The world either is, or is not flat, independent of H
