At one time or another, just about everyone has wanted to write a book. Whether it’s a book about a hobby, a profession, a personal autobiography, travelogue, or family history, a book is a serious expression of who you are and what you know - and it’s a great way to attain recognition in your field or social circle. Writing a book today has also become an important marketing tool for both individuals and companies.
If you’ve ever wanted to write a book, but don’t know how, this course is for you. The course takes you all the way from generating the initial ideas, through developing an outline, gathering and organizing information, all the way to writing chapter and sections, developing a powerful prose style, and adding graphics and photos, all the way to, layout, formatting, book design, and publication.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a book that you can either sell or distribute as an e-book, or actual hard copy book.
In an increasingly competitive global marketplace, strong Marketing Communications (Marcom) has become an essential part of today's corporate marketing.The internet has vastly increased the scope and influence of marcom efforts - today's marcom is not just about brochure copy or press releases - it's about effective web copy, blogs, newsletters, social networking, and much more.
Not just another writing course...
YEDA's Marcom course is unique among marcom courses available anywhere, online or in the classroom. The course covers more topics and in more depth than any other marcom course available. What's more, the course has a definite methodology -it is not just a collection of marcom topics. Starting from theories of marketing hi-tech products and branding - the same theories taught in many MBA programs - the course shows how to apply these principles to writing the actual marketing copy. By using a consistent theory of marketing hi-tech products, together with principles of modern rhetoric, students learn to write strong, vibrant marcom copy.
What You Learn
Students learn the basis of hi-tech marketing, product positioning, audience assessment, and rhetoric. They then learn to convert these ideas to practical techniques for writing brochure copy, web content, white papers, press releases, company profiles, and more. The course also includes important concepts and techniques dealing with issues that go beyond writing such as corporate branding and trade shows.
Because writing for hi-tech products requires an understanding of the underlying principles on which those products are based, the Marcom course also provides a Technology module. This consists of a series of lessons on today's computer, software, and data communications technologies.

There are many reasons why people pursue a career in technical communications:
They like to write - and technical communications is one of the world's highest paid writing jobs (unless you've just finished that best seller).
They like the idea of working from home where they can work their own hours (especially relevant to mothers with small children)
They enjoy the intellectual challenge of learning new things.
They like the excitement and prestige of being part of Israel's most important economic sector - hi-tech.
For those who want to work on-site as a full-time employee, they enjoy the modern atmosphere of a hi-tech company, good working conditions, kosher lunches on the house, and lots of benefits (and somtimes stock options).
They like working with people - whether long distance or on-site.
And most importantly - they like producing something they can be proud of, something that is an integral part of the company's product package.
