ASBPE is sponsoring a webinar on Nov. 17 titled "A B2B Journalist's Guide to Creating the Next New-Media Resource."

On the Internet, smart writers and editors can reach millions of people — and make money doing so — without the backing of a large media company.

During the webinar, two who have done it will share what they learned about launching a new web venture:

Harry McCracken, the former editor-in-chief of PC World who has since founded the personal technology blog Technologizer, and Joe Pulizzi, founder and chief content officer of the search community site Junta42. They'll discuss how to:

• develop an effective marketing strategy to promote your content;
• identify and participate in online conversations that can help draw audiences to your work;
• use social networking Web sites to reach out to on-line communities who are likely to value your expertise;
• leverage the power of “free”; and
• build successful permission-based marketing initiatives.

Further info is here.

Hi, all. I first joined ASBPE in 2005 when I worked as editor of Quality magazine. I rejoined earlier this year and, I must say, this is a must-join organization for trade press writers and editors. Members actively participate in the various blogs and discussion forums, and anyone serious about the profession watches for when the national Azbee Awards of Excellence winners are announced.

I am wondering: Can we achieve more overlap between the two groups? The MediaPro team commented (below) that the group idea is a good one. It would be pretty cool to see a flow between the groups given the obvious shared interests in topics related to the business, trade and specialty press and, more specifically, in editorial, online and design achievements.
