One of professional bloggers who uses cartoon avatar is Dennis Yu. I know him on Facebook, he uses a nice cartoon avatar there (by the time I write this). His cartoon image still wears tuxedo, so the professional ‘feel’ stays intact. [...]

Authority Rules

Earlier today, I downloaded a free ebook titled Authority Rules: The 10 Rock Solid Elements of Effective Online Marketing. The author is Brian Clark, the copywriting master and the founder of CopyBlogger.com . It’s actually a report / mini ebook in form of a pdf file, which consists of 18 pages.

Why this ebook? Make money blogging needs to deliver value through content to succeed (based on content-is-king strategy). Building great content needs copywriting skills. That is why you should improve your copywriting knowledge, and a free ebook from a famous copywriting expert is too hard to resist.

I suggest downloading this ebook as a supporting knowledge for your blog business. Download once, use it again and again.

You can also read it in online if you like. Just remember to visit the tables of contents first before start reading. The first and second topic is quite “tricky”. On the third, the light starts to reveal itself

Visit AuthorityRules.com if you want to download or read it. See you there.
