While the exact origin of “sent to Coventry” continues to elude historians, its meaning remains steadfast. An English idiom, this phrase is not as predictable as other phrases, like “the finer things in life.” But its modern usage refers to a person ignored by society, friends, and family. I recently used the phrase for a theme.

Webinars are an important yet underrated content marketing tactic. They provide you the opportunity to create a more interactive content format for your audience. They also are one of the top five types of content that can naturally attract links to your site. But, as of now, it seems not enough B2B or B2C companies excel in webinar creation (or they don’t host them).

At a recent Christmas party a friend asked me a series of rapid-fire questions about blogging. “Do you think I should start a blog in 2018? Or have I missed the boat with blogging? If blogging is still relevant, how could it benefit me? I guess I’m trying to work out… why should I start a blog?” My friend isn’t the only one asking these kinds of questions.

“Wow! Check out what technology is making possible!”. If Intel’s digital magazine iQ could speak, that’s what it would say. One article , for example, describes an emergency button that outdoor adventurers can attach to their clothing. Another describes a tiny drone that may someday help pollinate plants. iQ by Intel may not sell those emergency buttons, the bee-like drones, or any of the other tech-driven creations it covers.

From a young age, I was told I had an odd voice. It was a little too low for a girl and I tended to whisper a lot. I blame the whispering on the house I grew up in, which was big and echoey. If you didn’t want mom to hear you talking about inane things on the phone, whispering was a necessity. I didn’t realize my talk-in-a-low-whisper voice was useful until I started doing interviews for market research and editorial.

Written by ProBlogger Expert Ali Luke. When you think of a blog, you probably think of the posts. You might go to the site to read the latest ones (often on the home page), or they might go straight to your inbox. And if you follow the blogger on social media, you may well see them posting links to their latest posts. But posts aren’t the only type of content you need to create as a blogger.

It took me nearly seven years of blogging to create my first products: two ebooks, one for ProBlogger and one of Digital Photography School. They made me a total of over $160,000 in 2009 alone and changed my business. Back in 2014, I wrote about the experience … and how it nearly never happened: My big issue was a severe lack of time. Between juggling two growing blogs and a growing family (we had just had our first child), I wasn’t sure how I’d ever write an eBook.
