Wouldn't you think a grown woman would know how to avoid getting shampoo in her eyes? Isn't that something a person learns to do as a kid? And yet somehow, this morning I managed to get shampoo in my eyes. I apparently went overbad with the suds. So some got in my eyes. It hurt. Bad. And I felt pretty lame. Pitiful.
In my free "Work At Home Marketing That Doesn't Suck" ebook, I mention social media and even more importantly - Twitter. I know not everyone is into Twitter. In fact, I've received some email asking me if Twitter is really worth the time and effort. And while I am no expert ...
Sometimes I have clients who wonder whether their book should actually be in print. And you know, some of them should! I've actually had a client come to me with a great idea and some great research and when I took a look, I knew that the book would be a hit as a print ...
When you write a book, whether it's electronic or in print form, it's your baby. You dreamt about it. You nurtured it. You brought it to life.

I think my son is pretty darn near perfect. If perfect means being utterly kissable when you first wake up in the morning and have dragon breath. And you wake up grumpy after a nap and whine about every single little thing. And you cry when the puppy scratches you even though you were the one ...
Listen up, people! I've had it up to here (hand motioning at neck, in a "chop off your head" sort of way) with lazy freakin' people. My issue of the day? Shopping carts. And the fools that can't seem to grasp the concept...wait, this is a really difficult concept to grasp, so brace yourself...the concept that you are ...
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' ...
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 ...
