The long and short of long form copy

person Alex Gillespie
So… this is a blog. You know it’s a blog because when you go to the Likeable Lab website and click on the ‘Blog’ tab, you end up here. Also because of its style and length. It’s conversational, informal and far too long to be a social media post. Or is it? A trend is…

Usually about this time of year we start getting lots of family visiting from the UK. The weather warms up and they flock to NZ. Funny that ?. Not that I’m complaining, I love having family visit. First up for the summer, my in-laws. They’ve been out several times and like to make the most of what…

I have a mate who likes fishing. Let’s call him Tom, because that’s his name. Tom likes getting out in the boat, and dropping his line in – but here’s the thing, he doesn’t actually like catching fish. So he doesn’t bait his hooks.

Stuff your website full of keywords they said, and you’ll appear higher up the search results they said. It made sense 12 years ago,…

Heard of Outward Bound? It’s kind of hard to explain, but let’s just say it’s an outdoor adventure course that’s designed to push it’s participants to the limit. Anyway, back in 2013, I was lucky to spend a week at Outward Bound with 12 complete strangers. We ran, sailed, hiked and kayaked until we were exhausted. We spent nights…

Why Search Engine Optimisation isn’t a thing (anymore)

Heard of Search Engine Optimisation? I won’t bore you with the details, but the thinking is that it’s possible to improve where your website sits in google search results, for certain search terms – and it’s called S.E.O. for short. Anyway, I’d like to suggest that S.E.O. isn’t a thing anymore. Because Google is smarter than…

Think email marketing is dead? If so, I can understand why. Because most email newsletters are un-targeted, generic sales pitches that deliver little or no value. But I’ll let you in on a secret – the problem isn’t email. The problem is with the content, not the medium – so blaming email is shooting the messenger, literally. The trick with email marketing…
