Happy 20th birthday, LinkedIn!
One more year, and you can legally drink or eat an edible in Illinois. But that’s not what we’re celebrating in this blog post.

There’s George Washington and the miracle he pulled off at Valley Forge, Robert Downey Jr., who went from so moonbeamed on crack that he fell asleep in a strangers house to Tony Stark

Human writer David Telisman here. In the months since I’ve written about ChatGPT, the world of AI has continued to explode, and I still haven’t been replaced by a chatbot.

I realize there are more than five words  depicted in my word cloud, because I want you to understand how difficult it is for me to whittle down these gems from the best language ever created. 

I’m often asked about blogging, “Don’t you run out of stuff to write about?” It’s a fair question. The answer is no, because I’m curious, and audiences are, too.

This is completely useless information, but whatever, I feel like writing about it. The number of people losing sleep over when to use “can” or “could" ranges somewhere between 0 and 0.

Do you hate writing as much as my hair hates growing? Did you know that lousy writing on your website makes people head for the hills?

My last post was about the misuse of the word “ironic.” It’s quite ironic then that a writer like me would struggle to put into words how badly anti-Semitism hurts.

I have some opinions about words and phrases. Which brings me to the word ironic. In my experience, this is unequivocally the most misused word that I read and hear.

Let me start by saying thank you for opening my email. It would be quite embarrassing and ironic if you didn’t because you found the subject line for “How to Write an Intriguing Email Subject Line” unintriguing. 

Your brand is only as good as its awareness. What’s the point of having a brand if you never tell anyone about it? A tried and true method of telling them about it is, you guessed it, through blogging.

“Do I really need to blog?” is a question I hear from time to time, to which I reply, “Does your plain omelet really need delicious ingredients like salt, pepper, herbs, sharp cheddar cheese, and bacon (or Impossible Bacon for the meatle

The more frequently you touch your audience with quality content, the more top-of-mind you will be, which draws buyers to you and enhances your online presence. Let’s examine three types of content that accomplish this.
