Kevin Lockett Releases Interactive Content Marketing eBook

New eBook helps Marketers and Newbies Learn How to Find, Engage and Creating Content from Industry Leaders  

AKRON, Sept. 15, 2015— “Give them [the audience] what they want…when they want it…in the form they want it in!"
Kevin Spacey's quote kicks off "So You Think You Know Content Marketing" (Lockett Media), a down-to-earth guide that focuses on helping anyone Find, Create and Engage audiences through content marketing.
“I was interviewing Joe Pulizzi from Content Marketing Institute for my “Digital Life with Kevin Lockett” podcast a few years ago and towards the end of the interview, I asked him how could I brand myself better and he told me to write a book!  Kevin Lockett says. “So a few years later, I wrote a (e) book!”
The beginning of each chapter features a quote and a link, from a digital influencer like Pam Didner, Gini Dietrich, Andy Crestodina, and GE’s Katrina Craigwell, different aspects of content marketing including online conversation marketing, digital platforms, mobile strategy, content distribution, social media policy, leadership and more.  Kevin then offers his take on the quotes with his own social media advice or case studies, which also include links to articles, videos and podcasts to add even more insight.  
The idea of the interactive nature of “So You Think You Know Content Marketing” came from another former podcast guest, Damon Brown. “Damon’s eBook, “Our Virtual Shadows,” was the best eBook I have ever read, because he was engaging his audience with links within his content. I have never seen anything like that before, “Lockett says enthusiastically. “I was so impacted by his eBook that I knew that if I ever wrote my own, I wanted my readers to have the same experience I had, the first time I read his eBook”.
Interactive as well as diverse, “So You Think You Know Content Marketing” also offers features urban professionals, who are also finding success in the digital arena, but whom are rarely covered in business books.
“If you look at most books about digital marketing or social media, very few, if any, offers case studies or insight from minorities in the digital landscape, so I wanted my eBook to include everybody,” Lockett says.

“So in one chapter, you  might read a thought provoking quote from Moz’s Rand Fishkin, but in another chapter, you will experience a powerful quote from Anthony Frasier from The Phat Startup or read a case study about Black and Sexy TV, on building a video brand online,” Lockett continues.  “There are so many great stories of people of color in the digital space, I felt that more people should be exposed to their stories and learn from them.”  

Whether you’re a CEO of a startup, a social media professional, or a person just trying to figure this thing called digital marketing “So You Think You Know Content Marketing” is a fun, engaging read that will help develop your content and engage your audience, which will lead towards greater profits, growth and a better understanding of content marketing.

Who Knew? Large Professor Says Nas’ “Ether” Was Watered Down!”


Large Professor tells The Combat Jack Show that Nasir Jones' classic beat down of Jay-Z was a tad bit  harder: “Ether” was watered down. How it came out, it was watered down. There were a lot of darts that were getting ready to be shot back. Nas is a thinker, man; he’s a crucial thinker. He thought it out and he got it right. I’ll leave it at that.   (As seen on Complex TV)

Nas - Ether (Lyrics Video)

Jay-Z - Super Ugly

What's your favorite diss record of all-time?

History of Rap 4 (Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake)



From Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five's "White Lines" to A Tribe Called Quest's "Scenario" to Trinidad James' "All Gold Everything", Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake introduces the fourth installment of their History of Rap.

As great as these two have been in the series, the unsung heroes has been The Roots, who's ability to shift keys, grooves and decades of music at a drop of a dime is amazing!

Straight Outta Canton! Opposites Attract by Jéan P (Hip Hop)

"The meaning behind "Opposites Attract" (check out the full album)  is inspired by Jèan P & LAKIM being from two different area codes, the producer versus the emcee but also bringing great music to "attract" the listeners." Repping the 330 from Canton, Ohio, Jean P is currently a student at Ohio University, but has garnered enough attention that he recently appeared on MTV RapFix Live with Sway. Personally reminds me of a young Common and C.L. Smooth back in the day, which is a very good thing for Hip Hop!

Who Knew? SYTYCD Allison and Twitch Has Been Dating For Two Years!


Update: Twitch Talks About His Marriage Proposal to "SYTYCD" Allison Holker

(Via Dance Spirit)

DS: So how is it even a debate who made the first move? Seems pretty clear that it was Allison!

tWitch: Here’s the thing: If I say hello and she doesn’t even respond…there were lots of those moments! I didn’t know how to read her. Plus, I’m terrible at those things. There will never be a day where I’m like, “Yeah, that girl was feelin’ me.”

Allison: I was nervous! So, anyway, when the Season 7 wrap party came, I knew it was the last night I would see him. I was like, “Geez, I guess I have to be stronger about my moves.” I hadn’t planned on going because I’m a mom and don’t really go out and party. But when he texted to see if I was going, I was ready and in the car! I showed up and people were trying to say hi, but I was on a mission to find this guy. I saw him at the other end of the room, and he pointed and did this little “come here” motion. We went upstairs and danced for three hours straight.

tWitch: We danced the entire night, and we’ve been together ever since.
