Pretending these changes aren't happening won't make them go away.

Once you have a program up and running, it's a straightforward way to generate more business... Online marketing can be intimidating, no doubt about it, and I spend my days simplifying it for business people so they can generate more revenue as a result of their online activities. We focus on a subset of online marketing that currently flies under the label of content marketing." By the end of this book I aim to help you figure out what that is, why it's important and how it works, and hopefully I'll be able to crack open a door to the future for you and your business that is filled with possibility." - Susan Crossman, author, Content Marketing Made Easy - Why You Need It / How To Do It Susan Crossman is a veteran writer who has spent decades wielding the power tool of language to benefit businesses and individuals in search of greater success and consistent results.

Contributor Bio:  Crossman, Susan Susan Crossman is a freelance writer with several decades of experience in the fields of journalism, government communications, PR and marketing and her focus these days lies in the creation of business documents that build reputations and inspire commitment. Although the work is intriguing and satisfying, she's found that inside the heart of her professional approach to words beats the jungle drum of a creative writer. Susan currently juggles her freelance writing work with the care of two young children and in the rare moments when she is sure no-one is looking, she sneaks off to wrestle with the untidy task of writing for fun. The result has been the publication in 2011 of several essays in the Globe and Mail. The fall of 2011 marked the release of Shades of Teale, her novel about a woman's journey through marriage to divorce. And the fall of 2012 marked the release of her non-fiction book Passages to Epiphany. Susan is a Master Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), an expert in social media marketing and search engine optimization, and an awfully strong supporter of the value of chocolate as a medicinal agent. She is fluent in French and Spanish, completely comfortable with possibility and imperfection and absolutely useless with a vacuum.
