Writing Copy and Writing Content

Writing has a purpose. In the field of marketing, writing is focused on enhancing the qualities of the product or service that is being promoted. As a small business entrepreneur with limited budget (or in some cases no budget), one falls into the role of being the manager, promoter, social media marketer, accountant, in order words, one wears many hats. It is important to understand the differences between content writing and copy writing. 

Here is a small compilation of articles that will help you understand the differences and help you improve your writing.

My two cents in regards to writing: 
As having someone else read the piece you wrote is not always possible, I recommend to write your copy and set it aside for a day.  Then read it again, proofread it and then publish.  This will help you catch inconsistencies, typos, and to make sure you are conveying the message you intend.  It's your quality control. 

What are Twitter lists?

Twitter defines a list as "a curated group of Twitter accounts." You could say it is a list you create of Twitter users that have similar hobbies, or who post about a particular topic that interest you, or are your college buddies. The possibilities are limitless.

Lists can be public or private; one may subscribe to other's lists, and you may even share the link to a particular list. For the basics on creating a list, consult the Twitter Lists page here:

If you are new to social media marketing, my recommendation is to start by creating a list of other social media marketers.  You can learn so much from other experts in the field as they can give you ideas, keep you updated on the SMM trends, and you can even interact with them by beginning a conversation when you reply to their tweets. 

Below is a small collection of articles on the topic of lists to get you started:
