Greetings Rainmakers,
This week, I published an article that codifies a specific strategic framework we’ve been using for years. It’s called PII™, and I think you’ll find it extremely helpful as you think through and then execute on your own marketing strategy.
Along with that framework, this month’s Rainmaker Dispatch comes complete with amazing writing on the SEO rules around republishing old blog posts, a specific plan for promoting your content, a great case study in eCommerce content marketing, and much more.
I sincerely hope you’re hanging in there, maybe even thriving in this difficult time. If there’s anything we can do to help you along the way to success, just let us know.
Alright, on with the show …

This is one of the most repeated questions we get from clients … is it okay to republish old content on my site? If so, how do I do it in way that won’t get me penalized in the search engines. If you’ve been planning to repurpose valuable content that may be “rotting away” in your archive, this one’s for you.
How This Marketing Virtuoso Promotes His Content
Mr. Dry has come a very long way in a relatively short amount of time. He’s a next-generation marketer, using the knowledge of past as a solid foundation, then placing his own vibrant spin on it all in order to delight and inform. He’s a pleasure to read, and this article is (in my opinion) one of his best.

A very interesting and very important article from Amazon … if you’re not thinking about your audience and where and how they consume content and products, it’s time to get on the bus. The buying patterns of your customers and prospects may not be your buying patterns, but if you want to profit, you need to observe and then serve.

What are you working on in 2020?
