Machine Mean

Despite my overzealous title for this article, I am not jumping for joy over the recent news of the downfall of the hybrid indie/small press publisher known as Booktrope. I’m not exactly surprised either. Let me be clear about at least one thing, I’m not going to pretend as if I known all the answers when it comes to the business of publishing books, such a business has existed well before my time on the playing field. I can share only my own experiences and what I’ve seen regarding general popularity in marketing and consensus among a few like-minded writers. After reading a few other articles on this similar subject matter, and also seeing how some were reacting on social media and groups on Facebook, I felt perhaps someone out there somewhere would like to know what I thought of everything. And by everything, I mean not just Booktrope, but also the underlying causality of the…

Google plans to shine a light on local news articles in Google News by creating technology that online publishers that can use when the content becomes part of national news stories.

The move, announced Monday, aims to improve Google’s core News service by incorporating hyperlocal results in the news feed. News stories from local news sources will receive a “Local Source” tag on Google News on the Web, as well as on the iOS and Android apps.

Tagging is automated and intended to identify local source articles, analyzing the physical location in which the news topictakes place. The technology compares past locations with the current article’s location.

“Local Source” articles are identified automatically by looking at where a publisher has written aboutin the past and compares that to the story location,” James Morehead, product manager at Google News, explains in a blog post. Those searching on Google News will see…

People love lists. They love them even more when the list provides immense value to their daily lives. That’s why creating a mega list of helpful tools is such an epic content idea.

Brainstorm a few topics that you could use to create a mega list like this in your own campaigns.

3. Conduct original research and publish it.

A great way to keep someone informed of your latest work is having a RSS feed. Basically an RSS feed is like a small table of contents for recent work. It usually has a title, date, and description for each entry. RSS feeds can be subscribed to by users who want to keep tabs on what you are doing. They can use a RSS reader to see all the feeds that they subscribed to which keeps them up to date. Having the link in your feed allows people to come check out the content when it seems like something they would enjoy.

If you are familiar with how twitter works, then you understand the basics of an RSS feed. Following someone is generally the same as subscribing to their feed. You will see the most recent updates as they come in. If someone stops posting as frequently you will see…
