Comment on Forum Marketing 101: Getting “Easy” Jobs by Amandah

So true. I was a forum moderator for one of my client’s, and I couldn’t believe the amount of ‘spam’ postings we received. It didn’t matter that we had policies and procedures for the forum, we received off topic posts and blatant sales postings.

I haven’t participated in forums in a while. Thanks for the reminder. It’s a good way to connect with people and showcase your writing and problem solving skills.

Thanks for the good ideas and the reminder that marketing can be a relatively simple daily activity. This is a nice prompt to keep at it.

Comment on Recognizing and Changing Bad Habits by Amandah

You make excellent points. I too heard how Target can tell if a woman is pregnant by analyzing her shopping habits. We tend to be creatures of habits for one reason or another. For some, it’s a fear of change. For others, they don’t want to put the effort into changing. Who knows…

I think it’s beneficial for freelance writers to track ‘why’ they’re not earning what they want. I’d start by examining thoughts and beliefs. Most people have money beliefs that go back generations. Some of those beliefs haven’t been questioned or challenged. There’s no time like the present to start examining your family’s thoughts and beliefs around money and wealthy people. You may be surprised by what you discover. The good news is that everyone has the ‘right’ to choose new beliefs and thoughts. Do that and it could change your life and increase your profitability.

Hello, I have a question. I have great writing skills. But, I am reluctant to do some writing freelance because I am worried about the payment. Can you help??

Thank you so much.

Comment on 18 Local Prospects You May Not Have Considered To Pitch by Luana Spinetti

Hey Andrew! :)

So glad you enjoyed my article. Yes, local prospects can help you boost your career and they’re just a few steps away from your home!

My advice is to use their services or get to know them first: for example, you could offer the restaurant owner your services after you’ve been a client for a while, or visit that repair shop while you’re looking for an oil change for your car and ask if their need a writer.

The most casual and genuine the situation, the more positive the response. :) People in general have developed a special allergy against aggressive marketers and salespersons who only care about their own pocket and not theirs, so any situation in which you appear (and are!) kind and sincere is a win-win for both parties (you and the client).

Comment on Choosing a Word Processing App for Your iPad by Wendy

Wendy — Fri, 18 May 2012 19:01:27 +0000

I don’t own an iPad, but I’m starting to consider one. I understand that Scrivener is developing a version that will run on an iPad AND RenLearn is in development for creating a dongle that will allow an Alphasmart Neo to interface with an iPad as a keyboard. When this perfect storm happens, I will probably purchase an iPad and use these three items together. For now, I rough draft on my Neo and I do revisions on the fly on a NEC Mobilepro 900 that I’ve souped up or on my desktop.
