Updated 6/16/17: The Rainmaker Platform is now off the market as a standalone service. Click here to learn about our new complete solutions for digital marketing that works.
Brian wrote on Monday about the big news for this week: This is your last chance to pick up the Rainmaker Platform as a standalone service. We’re transitioning to a bundled hybrid of technology with client services … and that will come with a significantly higher price tag.
If you’ve been thinking about Rainmaker, this would be a great time to jump in. To get the advantageous pricing we have today, you’ll need to start your free trial before Friday, June 16, 2017 (that’s tomorrow) at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
On Tuesday, Stefanie asked if your blog necessarily needs a robust editing and proofreading process. And no, the answer isn’t automatically “of course it does.” Answer her three Socratic questions to see for yourself.
And on Wednesday, I shared ways to make your writing more colorful and lively … without getting into Dora the Explorer territory.
On the Copyblogger FM podcast, I talked about how to go from being a “training addict” to being the kind of person who actually implements great advice. And on The Writer Files, Robert Bruce interviewed the always-interesting Ryan Holiday about “why the long game is the only game,” as well as other intriguing topics.
That’s it for this week — have a great weekend, and we’ll see you Monday. 
(And don’t procrastinate on the Rainmaker thing — get your free trial going with the current pricing before it goes off the market tomorrow.)

Hi Sonia,
Diving into the interview. I see more daily that the long game is the only game. Ironically, as I dive more deeply into the long game approach with a full commit every single freaking day, the short game improves too. It’s like the opposite of golf. Get the long game skills down – create and connect patiently and persistently – and I sell eBooks, courses and sign up clients now. It works well but the key is to be as patient as heck doing the right things, rendering useful service, befriending inspired folks and loving the ride as much as possible.
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend
Ryan
