Haiku Deck Rocks Visual Marketing
If you haven't used http://www.haikudeck.com yet you should. Mark Traphagen turned me on to it and it is the best visual marketing tool out there. Here are 5 reasons we love Haiku Deck:

* SO EASY - the creators of Haiku Deck may have made the easiest to use tool on the plant.
* Free - Amazingly the tool is FREE (at the moment).
* Visual Marketing - we use the tool to find images from the Creative Commons. Content marketing is hampered without great images & Haiku Deck helps you find 'em.
* Their Community - great marketers creating awesome decks makes the Haiku Deck community one of our favorites (right up there with Scoop.it).
* Their team - the Haiku Deck team is responsive, social and they want to help.

If you aren't using this awesome content marketing tool yet, you should be.

Haiku Decks Create Shares & Community
If we told you there was a tool that would generate 3,200 views of your content on average and produce almost 60,000 views and over 700 shares for 34 uses (of the tool) you would USE IT right? This Curagami post shares why Haiku Deck is a powerful Internet marketing tool you should start using NOW.

CrowdFunde may be NEXT generation of content marketing. Not if we don't create some BELIEF. Big test Monday 2.10.14 as we pitch Triangle Startup Factory.
 

Thanks to friends who wrote notes to Chris, Dave and Triangle Starup Factory after I TOASTED last week's phone interview. Wouldn't be pitching CrowdFunde next week without FOMs (Friends of Martin's). You Guys ROCK!

Wish us LUCK.  

Medium Rocks
We love using Medium. Medium is the perfect blend of blog, Scoop.it and about 5 other tools we can’t live without. We had a Medium Rocks post that seems to have escaped, so we wanted to reestablish how important we think this micro-blogging tool is becoming. Fellow Scoop.iteer @Cendrine Marrouat - https://www.cendrinemedia.com is on Medium. 

What about you? If you are on Medium let us know so we can follow and feature you in our people to follow on Medium list.  

Amazing Content Marketing Tool
If you don't use Haiku Deck to help create visual marketing you are missing a powerful tool. We've created 36 Haiku Decks. Over the last 22 days those decks added 8,322 views or 378 new views each day.There is NOTHING we are doing with that kind of reach...NOTHING!

We are beginning to believe Slide Decks may be an exciting new marketing channel. Amazingly NONE of our 36 decks reported zero views over the last 22 days. Even OLD decks continue to be viewed making slides and slide decks VALUABLE content indeed. 

Not a complete surprise since Slideshare has been creating SEO magic for years, but Haiku Deck may have just legitimized slides as a marketing channel. You don't need an excuse to create Haiku Decks. No conference talks needed to win with these new visual marketing tools. SLIDES and Haiku Deck's CMS that sits on top of the Creative Commons are becoming a powerful content marketing tool and a widgetized marketing channel in their own right.
