I’m not sure what the real motivation for me to write this post is, but I can assure you that it falls under one (or possibly all) of these reasons:
Reason #1 – I’ve always wanted to publish an image of a baby on my site.
Reason #2 – I’m a vigilante and want to rank for the search term “lookie me”.
Reason #3 – This morning serves as a historic event for me, as it marks the very first time that something I’ve written has been published on Copyblogger.
If you follow me on Twitter you know that I have an affinity for endurance events. You might also know that I love to write.
When asked if I had any interest in contributing to Copyblogger, it was abundantly clear that I needed to mix the two. So if you want to know how the Ironman crosses paths with today’s marketing world, keep reading.
Without further adieu, lookie me, I got something published on Copyblogger…

Nice done, I really would like to know how you send your mailings with mailchimp. You can always see the picture brigthly and the whole text is send. I have a function with rss but yours is much better.
Agreed, Brian does a great job of setting up his mailing list newsletters. They actually make me want to click the links and dive into his content.
I’m simply using their RSS to email function that they provide, and then uploaded a custom header for the email when it’s sent out.
don’t i feel stupid now, lol:)
By the way, i must say, i am a genesis pro plus member and synthesis user now and i’m never been happyer. Great support for both and just worth the money. Why does websynthesis doesn’t have a affliate program or did i miss something? I think there are many people interested in my country.
The Synthesis affiliate program is something we are currently working on, so hold tight.
Holding tight Brian, holding tight.
Waiting to get started in that program
But I guess it will use the same platform as Genesis and Scribe, that is shareasale, right?
I need to work more before joining
“I’ve always wanted to publish an image of a baby on my site.”
What’s all that about Brian?
Congrats on your post over at Copyblogger – I’ll head over there.
Yes, I think there should be counseling for that…or something. LOL.
So Brian, May we know your secret?
I have a feeling he may be warming us up to a second life changing event in his life *wink*
Heh, guess we’ll have to wait and see – eh?
Brian, I am your biggest fan in Palm Beach County and hang on your every blog and tweet. Studio Press has resurrected my web design business. Now I am blogging away because you said so. But, how do I get more clients to understand the importance of blogging to generate leads, SEO, etc. .. not to mention pay me to write their blogs? Could this be an upcoming article for you to write? Thanks, Marcia
Hey Marcia – thanks so much for the email, it’s very kind of you.
As for convincing folks that blogging can increase their traffic and exposure, send them a link to this post that I wrote.
And when they tell you that they don’t have time to write, solicit your services. Show them it’s an investment into their business.
I’m not surprised it got published… A great read which was made all the better by the Brownlee brothers winning Olympic Gold and Silver for GB in the triathlon as I read it! How’s that for timing!
