Crikey!
Who doesn’t love the Crocodile Hunter? EzineArticles expert Thomas Murrell (from Western Australia) wrote a tribute to Steve Irwin about his brand and marketing smarts that lead to his success: Why The World Loved The Steve Irwin Personal Brand
Article Writing Coach Perspecitive: In addition to the critical elements that Murrell reveals in his article, I really like his style of writing articles — as I’m left knowing that I received value from the format. Sometimes the format of an article significantly raises the quality of the arguments and thoughts being presented. If his article didn’t have a number of elements identified and it was one long conversational article, I probably wouldn’t have read it. Of course there is nothing wrong with a conversational article, but I’m a fan of the bullet point or numbered lists within articles or at least identification of sub-topics within a main topic. Nice job Thomas!

Personally, I thought the guy was a bit nuts but like most everyone else, loved to watch the guy! His enthusiasm and passion for life was off the charts…and this is something worth modeling. RIP Crocodile Hunter!
Chris,
Thanks for pointing out Murrell’s article…it is done well. the style is concise and clear. I’ve often thought of doing more bulleted columns, maybe now I will.
In your follow up comments, you show his “long tail” keywords…what are the numbers behind each one?
Thanks,
Keith……
