Hey everyone,
Tim here. So much exciting news and updates to report this week. Before we get started, we have a quick reminder. We love answering your questions on the podcast. If you want to submit a question, please do so at copyblogger.com/ask. Maybe you'll be featured on the next show.
Top Content Marketing Resource.
1. Content Marketing: A Modern Guide
The team has spent the last few months putting together, what we believe to be, the most in depth guide ever created on content marketing. This was important for us to publish because content marketing is much different now than it was ten years ago. Video, audio, and the written word all play a crucial role in spreading your ideas and growing your business.
We hope you read this guide. We hope you study it. We hope you reply with any questions you have. We are here to be of service to you. Make sure you take advantage of this information and this expert viewpoint.

4. Shopify vs Amazon, Busting the Myth of Success, and the Right Way to use Medium
Recent chatter in the world of content marketing includes the launch of ConvertKit's upcoming ecommerce solution (ConvertKit Commerce), Shopify's big play, why success isn't linear, and the guys answered your question about how to use Medium for content marketing.
In this week's episode, Tim and Darrell talk about...
- Why ConvertKit's latest tool will make life easier for digital marketers (and ruffle some competitors' feathers)
- Shopify's plans to take on Amazon
- How to build resiliency on the path to success
- Why the journey is the destination
- And the right way to use Medium to drive traffic
5. ConvertKit Releases a Commerce Platform
Last week, Darrell made a bold prediction. He said that more email service providers would come out with subscription products to compete with Substack. Well, not even a week later, ConvertKit announced their new commerce platform which in tern, made Darrell look like a genius.
Subscription based email newsletters are an exciting way for people to build sources of income directly through their content. We fully support this model and we hope you check it out. You learn more about ConvertKit here.
Closing Thoughts
These last few months have been very stressful. Haven't they?
People handle stress in different ways. Some people panic, some people get depressed, and some people get in the zone.
The Copyblogger team talks a lot about time. The reality is that the time is going to pass us by no matter what. We might as well make the most of it. Yes, these are stressful times, but I hope you all use this time to focus and buckle down on the content and marketing work that is required for you to build a successful company or business.
You can do it. I know you can. What other choice do you have?
Don't waste time. You'll never get it back.
Stay focused.
Talk to you next week.
