Killer Web Content: Make the Sale, Deliver the Service, Build the Brand Do you have the killer instinct? A small percentage of Web content really makes a difference. It makes the sale, delivers the service, and builds the brand. This is the killer Web content. It probably represents less than 10% of content published on the Web, because—let's face it—most content just gets in the way. Get the full story. Gerry McGovern is presenting two back-to-back seminars this week on Thursday and Friday.

A Note to Readers Move Over, Oprah: Introducing the MarketingProfs Book Club It's a special day here at the international headquarters of MarketingProfs. Today we launch the MarketingProfs Book Club, a virtual book club designed to allow you, our readers, the chance to chat about key new book releases with each other as well as the book authors, sharing ideas and best practices across the marketing community. Think of it as a virtual version of community book clubs, without the coffee and cookies (or beer and nachos, depending on the nature of the discussion). We plan to read a new book every two months, kicking off the discussion with a Q&A with the book author and then launching discussion at the MarketingProfs Know-How Exchange, our discussion forum. What's more, the first 30 people to sign up for each book discussion get the book free! Cool, huh? MarketingProfs blogger Christina Kerley is the book club's chief brains and organizer. In today's issue of both this newsletter and the MarketingProfs Daily Fix blog, she gives you the skinny on how it all works. So be sure to read CK's article, which includes some background on the Book Club as well as a Q&A with the authors of our kickoff book, the just-released Citizen Marketers. In this much-anticipated book, the famed customer evangelists Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba document the cultural shift underway globally, with everyday people becoming broadcasters and publishers and building worldwide audiences. Check it out! And please join us. A few final words from CK: "So, as they say on TV... don't wait, act now! Join in the knowledge share and find out what this buzz over books is all about. To sign-up for this segment, just email your name and address to bookclub@marketingprofs.com. I hope you get a free book, but even if you don't, please do still participate. At $16.50 for the hardcover version at Amazon, this book is a steal for all the knowledge it imparts. And, with new book club segments airing every two months, there are plenty of chances in 2007 to get a free book. Happy reading!" Until next week, Ann Handley
