    This may be the strangest turn of events in my little ol’ career. The client of a few posts ago did respond to my follow-up effort to secure payment owed.

Over on Kristen King’s blog, guest author Steve Wagenheim gives tips for copywriting in 2008, one of which stood out more…

  • The Goal is What Exactly?

    Good lord, it’s slow around here! I’m sitting for eight hours or more with absolutely no work coming in save for yesterday’s ongoing routine. And thank God for it – it will be the first check I receive in 2008 and it will make this lean time a lot less lean. So what am I…

  • Reinventing the Writing Career

    Let’s continue our thought from yesterday. We’ve determined our ultimate goals and we’re now fairly certain of what it is we must make annually in order to pay the bills, feed the family and put aside money for retirement, college expenses for the kids, savings, and that nest egg for your shore house down payment…

  • Marketing 101: Miscellaneous, Must-Know Stuff About Marketing

    Not every marketing technique fits into a specific category, or it deserves another mention. Here are a few posts from the past that can help you with your marketing. The Rule of Seven :This attempts to answer the obvious question “How many marketing kits should I send out?” Adapt it to fit whatever you can…

  • Marketing 101: Ongoing Marketing

    Yesterday’s post was a bit “thick” with information, so today’s will be a bit leaner. The goal isn’t to overwhelm, but to give you a bit of a game plan. We’ve established our client list, mailed our first communication, followed up with phone calls, and now we’re ready to keep these people in the loop….
