One of my power partners says he is on the cusp of getting the mailing list of someone who will be retiring from the web design/website building business shortly. When he does, he says he will be sending me lots of clients who will need great copy. WOO HOO! When it rains, it pours! Having […]

Starting last week, I turned over a new leaf. For every new client I serve, I’m going to send them a personalized Thank You card (yes, in the mail) to thank them for their trust. We’ve been ruined by email. It’s just so easy to dash off a “thanks” and scarcely remember that we did

The changes the UK Solicitor wanted were easy to do so they didn’t take long. She added talking points I didn’t have before, so I needed to add those and finesse them into the copy, but they all worked well, so no major rewriting or reorganization was required. Today I’m planning to help Jackie put
Well, That Was Quick and Easy! Read More »
The Aussie dentist had a few final tweaks for me to perform. He’s a day ahead of me so our weekends aren’t the same; my Friday is his Saturday and my Sunday is his Monday, and he’s a busy, busy man, so I’m making the changes he wants this weekend, since they’re so minor. He

I just received the following email from the UK solicitor (one of John Assaraf’s business clients that I wrote two Special Reports for yesterday): “This is superb. Great job! There are however a few points I would like to amend here and there and I will do so over the weekend and highlight and return

I just noticed that this blog has 929 subscribers. That’s amazing, when you consider that it debuted at the tail end of January this year. I need to figure out how to send y’all a newsletter (Lisa Twining Taylor, HELP!)–although since you’re following this blog, you probably know all the news that’s fit to print
WOW! Have Nearly One Thousand Subscribers Now! Read More »
This morning after a networking event I decided to drive to Orting to ride 15 miles again even though I could see ominous rainclouds overhead above Orting from quite a distance. I figured, “Hey, it’s 66 degrees. I’ll be biking, working up a sweat…I won’t get cold even if I have to ride a little

Last month I told my sister about CST, craniosacral therapy. She decided to try it, even though she admits now that she was very skeptical that light touch therapy would help her one iota. But when she walked out of there standing tall and without a limp for the first time in years, feeling no

I just read a sales piece that would gag a maggot. A self-proclaimed “expert” on a LinkedIn forum can’t fashion a grammatically-correct sentence to save his soul, let alone a half-assed sales letter. Here’s the link, if you want a big laugh and a lesson on how NOT to write a sales letter: https://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140627004708-142211738-the-number-1-mistake-the-most-authors-are-making-and-they-do-not-even-know-about-it?trk=prof-post The

Today I finalized the copy I’ve been writing for an Aussie dentist in North Sydney. He and John Assaraf went through the copy I wrote in two days last week (12 web pages) plus an email series and a Special report that I Aussie-fied and edited/enhanced and sent me negligible changes, so it took me
