By Tom Ruwitch

Last night, I wrote the sales page where you can get my new  Story Power Profit Pack – 52 Strategies, Tips, and Tactics (a.k.a. Pointers) to Transform Your Content from Ignored to Adored… …beginning on Thursday (tomorrow). And I gotta say… …that sales page is finger-lickin’ good. In fact, it may be… The best sales pagewritten…

This May be The Hardest Thing I’ve Done All Year…

By Tom Ruwitch

When I first came up with the idea for my soon-to-be-released Story Power Profit Pack, I thought of publishing it as a pack of playing cards — 52 pointers in all.   I shelved that idea because, as cool as the cards might have looked, they would been less useful than the format I settled on.…

Why Goldfishes Don’t Dig My Emails and Me…

By Tom Ruwitch

Yesterday’s email included a quiz to see if you could tell the difference between posts written by an AI robot and a human. At the very bottom of the email, I wrote: “How’d you do on the test? Reply to this email to let me know (and to share your thoughts about robots and such).” Lots of…

Is it Real or is it Robot? Can You Pass The Test?

By Tom Ruwitch

Yesterday, during a live speaking gig, I gave the audience a test to see if they could tell the difference between robot-generated and human-generated content. They flunked.  Here’s how it went down.  I told them about an executive coach who helps business owners escape the hamster wheel. Before she hired me, she wrote a blog…

How Smart Marketers Turn Pain Into (Mutual) Gain

By Tom Ruwitch

It was the worst of times, it was the best of times. A tale of two doctors.  The first doctor was an orthopedist who “diagnosed” the pain in my forearm by telling me what it wasn’t.  I thought I might have a pinched nerve in my shoulder.  “No, you’re wrong,” she said. (She pulled that…

There’s a Good Reason This Email Is Late…

By Tom Ruwitch

Whoa! Time got away from me this morning. That’s why my email to you has landed later than usual. I rolled out of bed on time (earlier, in fact, than my typical 6 a.m. up-and-at-’em).  I poured some French roast, opened the laptop, and began writing, as usual.  But instead of creating today’s email, I…

Lazy Marketing. Lousy Results. (A Sad, But Humorous Cautionary Tale)

By Tom Ruwitch

Here’s a cautionary tale for you to tuck in your “how-not-to-network” file. The saga began last week, when Barry sent me a LinkedIn message asking to meet. Barry used to run an agency in St. Louis that competed with the email marketing firm I founded and ran, MarketVolt. We crossed paths occasionally back then so…

The Secret to Inspire Prospects to Buy — Without Pushing and Prodding

By Tom Ruwitch

I finished reading a great book last night. Flip the Script – Getting People to Think Your Idea is Their Idea by Oren Klaff. My friend Ted Prodromou (a.k.a “America’s leading LinkedIn coach) chose it as this month’s selection for the Mastermind Book Club.  I’m glad he did because it’s a great book.  We’ll discuss it tomorrow (Dec.…
