Boring Industry?

Not Sexy!

@ArnieK


#SearchFest

● Don’t ask “What can you write

about?” Ask “What questions do

you get asked every day”

● Do not gamble your success

on creating cute, clever, fun

content. Produce content people

are ACTUALLY searching for!

Every Moment is a Content Opportunity
