Asking for testimonials is a weird thing. I'm not talking about asking clients to give you a nice quote to slap up on all your marketing materials, online and off. In those cases, you've already provided your service or product and hopefully the whole transaction/process was a fairly smooth one. What I'm referring to are the testimonials ...
Over the past several weeks I worked to secure testimonials for my series of ebooks. I've asked and received testimonials before. Since the bulk of my projects are ghostwritten books and articles, it can be tricky. My clients want to remain anonymous. And I want to safeguard any information that would indicate my clients' ...
Okay...I just joined an article challenge through my WAHM Biz Tips site (since all the articles will have to do with working from home and real estate...because I need to spread the word about my new series of ebooks over at The WAHM Agent). The Challenge?? 20 Articles in 20 Days!!! Come on...you know ...
It's been a busy, busy, busy couple of days here at the TinaMc Writing Emporium. Remember my post on how to prevent idea theft? Uh...yeah...the irony....I was a victim of such an occurrence just in the past week. (I became aware of it yesterday). But you know, there's so much more to that story, that ...

My idea would be stolen, twisted into something different and wrong, sold to the masses for millions with nothing going to my ...
You know I like me a contest. And yes, one of these days I'll get around to holding one of my own. But in the meantime, how about throwing your hat into the proverbial ring for a book on copywriting? If you're selling anything (and I mean ANYTHING) then tips on copywriting can go a long ...
Okay...I didn't, really. But I got your attention, right? But I did have a dream last night. And in it, John and I (I think you can call someone by their first name when you're noshing on fast food with them...even if it's only in your dreams) were hanging out in a no-name greasy spoon and ...
I like to go over to Enkay's blog several times a week to check out what he has to say. A post earlier this week on comment etiquette really got me thinking. Do manners matter when you're online? Should you still be polite and act with some modicum of decency in this vast black hole known as the ...
So...I already admitted that I didn't create a cool, eye-catching, lid-pooping html email for my email marketing campaign. Nope. I went for straight text, baby! Want to see what I wrote? I won't pretend it's a masterpiece. Because it's not. But it gets the point across. Here it is:
