May 26th: This week’s top 5
. Is it time to eat some fruit?
2. How to get 53% more readers. Well the headline hooked me! A good reminder of copywriting basics from Brian Clark.3. Should PRs ghost corporate blogs? Of course! You know what they say about ‘if you want something done right’?
4. How readable is your blog? Scott runs several PR-type blogs on the Gunning-Fog readability test. I used to do similar stuff with all my copy back in the day. He forgot Strive Notes, but his fingers were getting tired, so I forgive him 
5. The Hobson & Holtz Report. I’ve been listening to this Podcast as I compiled this list. It seems pretty technology-focused and is maybe a tad too long. But it’s nice to hear human voices discussing the issues I’ve been reading about all week. Try it out.
What have you Strivers been reading?
UPDATE….Regarding item 4. Inspired by Scott, Stuart did a similar one, taking in UK-based media and blogs. He also forgot Strive Notes. No prob! I ran the Gunning-Fog myself and came up with 9.13…just about the same as Micro Persuasion. Just FYI.
