    You're a Copywriter - What Brand are you Promoting
    You're a copywriter. What you do is use the power of words to PROMOTE. Promote products, promote brands.Brand owners and product owners hire a copywriter for that very purpose - to promote their brand. Promoting a brand is more than just shifting product - though this is important for a copywriter. Positioning a brand means that the brand name is not only fa

    o When I speak for free, I give out the least amount of notes as possible - if any. I have people take their own notes AND tell them that the full notes can be found on a specific page of my web site for download.

    o Put the notes on a CD or disk and have them pay for them (sell them in the back of the room, on a table between the coffee and bathrooms!).

    The Biggest Mistake When Shopping For A Mortgage, Part I
    want to pay too much. Unfortunately, people make the assumption that interest rate is the only cost associated with obtaining a mortgage. Comparing two or more mortgage companies on the basis of interest rate alone is like comparing two people based on weight – both a professional, muscle-bound linebacker weighs the same as an overweight couch potato. In other words, i
    For many, speaking or training is a full time business. Yet for other business owners, we use speaking/training as a way to market a business and bring in extra income. No matter which it is… all or part of your business gets paid!

    Being paid means receiving money for the value you present. So first off, find places that will pay you. Even Community College Continuing Education programs pay the trainers by the hour!

    However, sometimes it is customary for a group to NOT pay you with $$ - like the Rotary, Elks Club, or many associations. Other times, they won't pay you for speaking at an event, but will pay you to speak at a retreat or conference. What do you do when there is no money? Determine if the event is something that will give your business value. Ask yourself:

    --Will at least 95% of the audience be your ideal client - i.e. your best fit, target market?

    --What can they give you in return that will equal the value they are receiving?

    --What can you ask for in return for the value they are receiving?

    --Do you really want to speak to this venue for free?

    Remember, you can always say no!

    There are many ways you can be paid when cash isn't available. First decide what should you be paid. Then find ways to be paid that amount in full.

    How?

    o Request that your business card or article you've written be placed on each person's chair who's attending the event.

    o Let the audience know that you are not being paid and in return, you're giving them an evaluation to complete. On that evaluation, include things like: "I know a company or organization looking for speakers" and "I want to receive your ezine." Etc. etc.

    o Do they have a conference room? Ask about using it for "x" hours in payment.

    o Do they send their membership a newsletter? Request an ad, maybe business card size.

    o Ask to put a flyer in their newsletter.

    o Make sure that a bio including an active link to your site appears in their newsletter(s), any announcements they send, or on their web site. Ask them to keep it active for at least 6 months.

    Emphasis and Your E-mail
    I receive on average 8-10 e-mails each week asking if bolding or changing font color to red is the same a yelling or screaming. Is it the same as using all caps? It can be. Most who ask me these questions are trying to interpret what the person who sent them an e-mail really meant. They aren't sure and don't want to assume. But they know. Bolding and red type mea

    RSS - The Importance of RSS
    RSS stands for rich site summary. RSS is a technique used by the websites today to market them. It is important for every online business to be able to get noticed by the internet surfers. If a company is there producing many useful products for the market, this fact is of no use until and unless the customers know that the company exists and that the company has somet
