Here is another serving of quality blog posts on important sales and marketing topics. Savor them!

Liz Strauss makes a crucial distinction between perceived and real productivity. “A positive contribution is any work that moves us closer to our goals — sometimes that’s hard work; sometimes it’s simple and elegant.”

Dawud Miracle generates great conversation with his post The Biggest Reason Small Business Owners Should Be Blogging.

Lynn Gaertner-Johnston cleared up lot of confusion for me with her post Best Practices for Bullet Points. The devil is in the details! (Thanks to Joanna Young for directing me to Lynn’s post.)

Michael Stelzner offers advice on How to Use LinkedIn to Create Authoritative Content. Another newly discovered use for this supremely underutilized business networking site.

My own contribution, from The Whoa Factor, is this Search Engine Marketing fairy tale. I’ll try anything to explain to SEM, and it was sure fun to write!

Jeanne Dininni turned one of my cartoons into this truly enlightening post, The Keys to Overcoming the Writer’s Fear of Failure. “Always listen to the little inner voice that tells you something isn’t right in your approach, because first instincts often turn out to be correct.”

Jill Whalen asks, Is Your Website Copy Crystal Clear? You may be too close to the material to answer objectively, which is why Jill’s post is so worth reading.

Eric Eggerston put together an incredible link list around the theme of Finding the Wow Factor in Business. Lots of savvy perspectives on how to stand out from the crowd.

Patrick advises to use humor to extend your reach. I could not agree more!

      Brad, there’s nothing quite like a well constructed set of bullet points! I’m glad you enjoyed Lynn’s piece - her blog is a fabulous resource for business writers.
