Winning the Battle for Attention with Ryan Hanley
How often do you find yourself competing for attention online?
If you're a writer, artist, entrepreneur, or blogger, chances are a lot.
It comes with the territory.
There are millions of websites and our audiences' time and attention are limited.
So the question is: how do you distinguish yourself from the crowd and earn that well deserved attention for your high quality content?
Enter: Ryan Hanley.
Ryan is the creator of ContentWarfare.com, the host of the Content Warfare Google Hangout / Live Podcast, and the founder of Hanley Media Labs.
Ryan is THE leading authority on winning the war for attention online by building your brand the right way (and a person whose advice I implicitly trust - something I say about very few people).
The best part: Ryan isn't keeping his genius to himself.
Instead, he's taking all the knowledge and experience he's gained over the years from building brands online and putting it into a book he's launching through a new book crowdfunding platform called Publishizer:
