Three Quick Things

It's a short week here in the US—meaning, we have a couple of days off (Happy Thanksgiving!). But if your job is like mine, it feels more like a week's worth of work is crammed into three days. All that to say, I promise I'll make this quick...

A few things to share this week:

1. Got content? Every business might be a publisher these days, but you have to be producing the right kind of content to drive the growth of your business. Are you?

Learn how by joining me and a whole host of content experts who'll be teaching MarketingProfs University's Content Marketing Crash Course. Learn the do's and don'ts and ins and outs of content marketing.

The course starts next week, but if that's bad timing, you can also access any session on demand. You can also save $200 with promo code LEARN (or up to 50% if you are a PRO member and use your PRO credentials and LEARN!)

2. With Thanksgiving this week, you know what that means, right...? Black Friday—and the Holiday Season—is soon here! So how can a small business get the upper hand on the monumental shopping days ahead? Don't miss these 9 solid marketing tips.

3. What happens when good webinars go bad? And how can you fix them? Here's my advice.

And that's it... quick, as I promised.

See you next week!

PS: YOU'RE INVITED! Next Tuesday, November 30, is the release date of the new book I co-authored (with C.C. Chapman), Content Rules! Come to our online launch party on Facebook on Tuesday, at 9 PT/12 ET! Free prizes! Smart chat about content! And (we hope!) a little fun!
