Articles should be... subtle. Emotionally Engaging. Vivid. Useful. (Have a) Call To Action. Preferably in that order. Notice the steps most focused on getting a sale are at the very end. Because everyone knows that the best salespeople don't force solutions down the throats of their prospects. Effective marketing will magnetize them to buy it themselves.

Like most things online, it's legitimate, only if you understand what it is and how to do it.

In google, one definition for "marketing" was: The way a business organization identifies its customers, defines and develops the products or services that its customers want, and sells and distributes those products or services to customers.

"...products or services that its customers want," That's all I need for defining marketing, really.

Hopefully this tutorial has helped some people. I'm still learning, but sharing what I learn along the way helps to consolidate my own knowledge.

Oh well. Back to article writing.

The post is fine and brief. However it is not focused on something in particular but i liked the Blue Print steps. They are clear and summarized which gives a better overall summary for the process.

Straight Forward !!

Since I have this author beat by 60 years, I'm forced to admit that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Actually, he didn't give us any new tricks (there aren't any), just brought the old ones to life. How? Vivid words - like 'vivid.' Thanks, Kid.
