Podcast appearances and mentions of maddy osman

In this episode of the Post Status Happiness Hour, host Michelle Frechette interviews Maddy Osman, founder of Blogsmith Content Agency and author of "Writing for Humans and Robots." They discuss the importance of developing a unique brand voice in an era dominated by generative AI. Maddy emphasizes the need for clear style guidelines to maintain consistency, especially for brands producing listicle content. She shares insights on using custom AI models to uphold brand style and the ethical implications of AI in content creation. The episode concludes with Maddy recommending the "Three-Body Problem" series and inviting new clients for 2025.Top Takeaways:Establishing a Distinct Brand Voice is Essential for Consistency and Connection: Maddy highlights the importance of defining and refining a brand voice, particularly as businesses integrate AI into their content processes. A well-crafted brand voice ensures that all content, whether generated by humans or AI, feels cohesive and authentic to the audience. It helps in building a recognizable identity, fostering stronger connections with the target audience, and differentiating the brand from competitors. Maddy's agency offers services specifically aimed at helping clients develop and refresh their brand voice, emphasizing its role as a core element of a successful content strategy.Ethical Use of AI in Content Creation: Both Michelle and Maddy emphasize using AI responsibly. They suggest leveraging AI to identify content gaps, reformat existing work, or assist in editing rather than generating original content from scratch. This approach maintains the integrity of the creator's voice and avoids ethical pitfalls like plagiarism.Repurposing Existing Content: Maddy highlights a practical use case for repurposing content she previously created. By transforming her detailed personal notes into blog posts, she maximizes the value of her prior work, making it accessible to a wider audience while keeping the essence of her original writing.Competitor Analysis for Content Strategy: Michelle points out that analyzing competitors' content can be a valuable strategy to identify gaps and opportunities for new topics. They agree that while using AI to gather insights is acceptable, directly copying competitor content is unethical.Mentioned LinksThe Blogsmith Content AgencyWriting for Humans and Robots: The New Rules of Content StyleBring It OnLinkedInInstagramFacebookFurbyChatGPTBingSearch GPTThe Four Dimensions of Tone of VoiceNielsen Norman GroupSemrushSlackNotebookLMThree Body Problem series

In this engaging episode of the Unmiss Podcast, we are thrilled to have Maddy Osman, author of “Writing for Humans and Robots: The New Rules of Content Style,” as our guest. Maddy shares her insights on how to craft compelling content that resonates with both human readers and search engine robots, enabling you to reach…

Maddy Osman draws on past experiences as she manages her SEO content agency, The Blogsmith. Growing up with an entrepreneur dad, she understands that owning a business requires intentional boundaries. Her previous job in the Groupon sales department taught her that rejection isn't personal. Freelance writing for a Chicago lifestyle blog sharpened her SEO skills. Maddy uses these lessons learned to improve — both herself and her business.

Today, my guest is Maddy Osman. She is the founder and creator of The Blogsmith, which is a company that, as the name might imply, focuses on creating data-driven content typically for businesses in the B2B world. She's also done work for some larger-scale personal injury attorneys and has written a book called Writing for Humans and Robots, The New Rules of Content Style, and I think we, as attorneys, gravitate towards content marketing, because it's something that we understand. What the book does is give you a lot more resources, and a lot more understanding of exactly how to do that writing. From there, you may find yourself in a position where you might want to use a company service, such as The Blogsmith. It's a really interesting conversation, you can tell that she's spent a lot of time in the trenches, understanding how Google works, and how content marketing works, so I think it's something that we could all benefit from. In this episode, Neil and Maddy discuss:Maddy's journey into writing content for different industries and professionals. Positioning content properly. The purpose of keyword research and factoring in graphics. Creating a writing style guide for yourself or others writing on your behalf. Key Takeaways:It's more than just writing a blog post. It's about what you write and how you write it. Working with a professional, experienced content writer, such as The Blogsmith, can help to free up your time and energy as you are running your law firm. You want your reader to have an enjoyable reading experience. Pages of blanket text that look like a novel are not likely to be desirable to the reader. Graphics in your articles do not need to be custom branded or even a photo. "Before you really start any piece of content, you have to consider the goal of why you're creating that content. And if you don't have one, then you probably shouldn't start on that piece yet." — Maddy OsmanGet in touch with Maddy Osman:Website: https://www.theblogsmith.com/ Book: https://www.writingforhumansandrobots.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/maddyosman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBlogsmith/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madelineosman/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to http://ruby.com/ or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

An expert in content creation and strategy, she's the author of the new book Writing for Humans and Robots. We discussed all of this and her University of Iowa roots this week on the On Brand podcast. About Maddy Osman Maddy Osman is a digital native with a decade-long devotion to creating engaging, accessible, and relevant content. After teaching herself web design at age 11, she found her true passion in content creation—learning the intricacies while transitioning from technical to creative SEO marketer.

Maddy has spoken for audiences at WordCamp US, SearchCon, and Denver Startup Week. She's also the author of the new book Writing for Humans and Robots: The New Rules of Content Style. Episode Highlights Two sides of the same coin. We began by talking about the duality of content writing in service of both humans and robots, “It's like yin and yang,” Maddy notes. Humans or robots first? I asked Maddy a hard question right off the bat. Which audience do you start with—humans or robots? “Hmmm probably robots,” she said noting that it's really more of a back and forth, push and pull dynamic. Creating brand voice. Maddy cited the Nielsen Norman report defining brand voice across four spectrums: Funny vs. serious Formal vs. casual Respectful vs. irreverent Enthusiastic vs. matter of fact Knowing where your brand falls across these can be a great start to developing your own brand voice! Maddy also shared the Blogsmith internal style guide which offers several tips as well. What brand has made Maddy smile recently?

When you write content, who are you writing for? It's an important question to consider— you need to have someone in mind when you write. But there's another audience you should have the robots. Specifically, search engines. If you're not writing for both, you could be missing out on traffic, signups, and sales. Luckily, Maddy Osman and her new book, Writing for Humans and Robots, is here to help. Top Takeaways: When writing for humans, you need to appeal to the people you're writing for. This is where stories, empathy, and consistency come on.When you write for robots, you need to consider what your content is optimized for: keywords, good headlines, and spoiler alert: What humans what to know.The right headline can satisfy both humans and robots. Write something that gets people to click and search engines will recommend your content to more people.

In this Episode: Where we Went, and Where we're Going (and how you can best prepare!)We covered a whole host of topics this year, from omni-channel — the idea of selling your products directly on your own store, plus platforms like Facebook and Instagram — to performance, security, and effectively selling. We've extolled the virtues of being where your customers already are…which is the point of omni-channel: bring your products to the people. Before 2021, this was a difficult take and most store owners weren't equipped to deliver such features. But that has gotten a lot easier with WooCommerce plugins and Plesk's eCommerce Toolkit. Brian talked about (and Joe agreed) how omni-channel definitely works well for people who sell physical products. As both of them sell online courses and memberships, omni-channel makes less sense, as customers will need to create an account on their site anyway…so they need to get people to their store.When you do get people to your store, you need to make sure it's fast, and secure. Tools like Google's Core Web Vitals can help with the speed part. They'll run your store through a number of tests and recommend optimizations. From a security standpoint, you should at the very least have SSL and a payment gateway, which Chris Tietzel told us all about. We even got a deep dive on Payment Gateways from EVO Payments. When speaking about this, Brian and Joe discussed the benefit of using software vs. writing software. Since they're both developers, they can get things launched pretty quickly. But they both submitted that a payment gateway is one thing they don't want to touch! As Brian and Joe have well-established online stores, they both implemented some of what Jason Coleman taught in the Black Friday / Cyber Monday episode, to great success. The lessons here were the same that Jason talked about: don't be afraid to email, devalue, or otherwise place your product on sale. Brian referenced another post from Justin Ferriman of LearnDash: ignore Black Friday at your own peril.When it comes to 2022, Brian mentioned that we'll continue to see many trillions of dollars get spent in online stores. But he also talked about the idea of “headless” commerce: the ability to place a buy button anywhere, with inline checkout. Imagine emailing customers a custom checkout link that they can click on and pay for right there. Or sending one via text…sharing on Twitter, or embedding on a website wholly different from your store's website. We're already seeing this trend happen with Apple and Google Pay, as well as Stripe, Paypal, and Shopify's own unified checkout buttons. If you sell online in 2022, this is definitely something to look out for.Top TakeawaysYou need to tell people who want what you're selling, what you're selling. And you need to do it a lot. Don't be afraid to send emails. Most people don't check their inbox as much as those who run their own business.Omni-channel is a great strategy because you want to be where your customers already are. But it definitely makes sense for some types of business more than others. Until recently, omni-channel was hard for small store owners. But that is changing thanks to tools like the Plesk eCommerce Toolkit. SMBs are getting things that have traditionally only been available to giant businesses.A quick win for the performance of your website is optimizing for images. Make sure to resize and use a proper number, where it makes sense. If your products need high quality photos (as Maddy Osman mentioned in Episode 7), definitely use them. But you don't necessarily need 25 huge images when 4-5 will do.Reiterating what Patrick Rauland talked about in Episode 6, Brian and Joe talked about how hosted solutions are great for proving a concept. But they also talked about how we're all likely to use some hosted solution. A great example is payment gateways, which do a lot of technical heavy lifting, and take liability out of SMBs hands.Lots of people in the software space especially are hesitant about doing a Black Friday sale. But you definitely should! People are primed to buy that weekend, and might have even been waiting to see if you'll do one. You likely won't send enough emails, let a lot too many. Both Brian and Joe sent 4 on the last day of their sales. Each email lead to at least one purchase. And every email they sent in that week made money. Many trillions of dollars will be spent online in 2022 (just like 2021, 2020, etc). Being on top of trends could help you make even more! One trend that is becoming more mainstream is headless commerce: the idea that you can place a buy button anywhere online (email, text, social media) and have an inline checkout experience. Widespread use of Apple Pay and Google Pay have brought use one step closer to that. Simple shops will be presenting like well established brands because the tools are getting better for us. Be sure to implement things like personalization, targeted marketing, and other techniques that will make buying from you easier, and more enjoyable. Finally, commerce will happen in more places than previously expected. Hybrid live/online events are changing the landscape, and things that were originally thought to only be possible in real life are happening online. Think house showings, trade show booth presentations, and more.The Official Plesk Podcast: Next Level Ops FeaturingJoe CasabonaJoe is a college-accredited course developer and podcast coach.

As an entrepreneur, the best feeling is when your business starts to take off. When you have more business than you can handle, that means your hard work is paying off, even if it does cause some sleepless nights.You'll need to hire employees to help share the load to scale your business, but it can be hard to let other people take over some responsibilities. Not expanding your employees to keep control over quality is a sure-fire way to stop business growth in its tracks.In this episode of Reverse Engineered, Maddy Osman, Founder and SEO Content Strategist at The Blogsmith, talks with Jon Penland about her experience transitioning from freelance content marketer to business owner. Listen to the episode to hear how Maddy hired her first employees, learned to delegate, and stayed focused on quality to help her business scale successfully.Check out show notes at https://kinsta.com/podcast/from-freelancer-to-agency-owner/

Key TakeawaysThere are three pillars to SEO: Content, off-page SEO, and website technical structureContent should include solid product descriptions, lots of photos, and clear terms. Remember; buying online doesn't provide the same experience as buying in-store, so you need to fill the gaps. Content will helps us do that.By the same token, don't unintentionally create duplicate content! If you have similar versions of the same product (different colors, sizes, shapes, etc), create variations. Some search engines can lower your ranking if you have a lot of duplicate content, and variations prevent that.When it comes to blogging, consistency is more important than quantity. Blogging once a month is the minimum to show people (and search engines) that you're consistent.Ideally, releasing one piece of content per week would be ideal. But it doesn't just have to be on your own site! Consider being a guest blogger and spreading the word about your brand and surrounding topics through other sites.When it comes to off-page SEO, on top of guest posts, you can have affiliate programs and link exchanges. Since Google and other search engines consider backlinks (links back to your website or content) when ranking, getting your website linked on other websites, where relevant, can really help.Tools like Ahrefs and Screaming Frog can help you figure out whom to ask for a backlink.Reciprocity can sweeten the pot, but link-trading is also frowned upon by Google, so get creative!Influencers can also play a big part of getting people to your site. Social proof is the lynchpin of selling online, so testimonials are great. But showing other people actually using and promoting your products is even better.When people look for social proof, we can apply the acronym EAT: Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness. Find influencers with relevant audiences who understand and can honestly recommend your product.Finally, when it comes to technical structure, again tools like Ahrefs can help figure out where the holes in your website are. Remember to get rid of or redirect 404 errors, obtain an SSL certificate, and make improvements over time to your content and website speed.

Is your workplace "posi-vibes only!"? Are you reminded on a daily basis to "just choose happiness" or "be more grateful - other people have it worse than you?" Although they seem harmless on the surface, these phrases are really dismissive attempts to ignore a person or situation. When taken too far, they can create a culture of toxic positivity. In this episode, Ashley and Andrea talk about "toxic positivity" - what it means, where you find it, why it's especially harmful to people experiencing poor mental health, and what to do about it. They share helpful tools to identify and address your real emotions, acknowledge struggle while maintaining progress, and one simple question to help your employees feel heard.
