  • Pithy Prose: The Wit and Wisdom of Friedrich Nietzsche - Part 6 of an occasional series I am a collector of quotations. I have been ever since I learned how to write, I mean professionally, not in primary school. I am particularly fond of what I like to call "pithy prose". These short quotations can cover an unlimited variety of subjects: love, religion, politics, human nature, etc. What unites them is their ability to say more in one or two sentences than could be expressed in a thousand-word treatise. It's like being able to pour a liter of liquid into a half-liter bottle. They are superb examples of Mark Twain's famous dictum, "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug." In principle, all writers and public speakers are capable of producing pithy prose, but clearly some are better at it than others.

  • How to Create Effective Marketing Headlines - It doesn’t matter if your marketing brochures have the best, most effective copy. It doesn’t matter if your business brochures have been designed by a world-renowned artist. What matters most is the words you use in your headlines. Headlines are what hook potential customers and draw them in to read the rest of your copy. I’ve read that headlines do 90 percent of the work when it comes to sales copy. I believe that’s true. People skim before they read, and headlines are their guiding posts for what to slow down to read more about.

  • Writing A Book Enabled Systems Engineer To Quit His Job - According to the Association of American Publishers, 83 per cent of Americans want to write a book. Robert Kiyosaki, creator of the Cashflow Game and the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, said that his book is his best business card. Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series, stated that the best lead generator is a book. These two examples demonstrate a profound principle.

  • Recycle Your Articles to Gain Tons of Traffic and New Subscribers - While there are many effective ways to get more traffic and build your email newsletter list, the one I’ve had the MOST success with is to submit articles for use on other people’s websites and in their ezines. “But wait a minute,” you say. “Aren’t I supposed to be creating great articles for MY OWN e-zine?” Yes, you are!

  • 11 Quick (and Good) Content Ideas for Your Ezine or Website - Publishing articles, especially via an e-zine, is the ideal opportunity to showcase your business. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you build credibility as an expert, while spreading the word about your services and products.

Here are 11 quick (and good) content ideas for when you're in a pinch. 1. Give real-life success stories. Describe a problem you've solved for a client/customer, and use that as a springboard to offer more general advice. Show your readers how you've helped customers address challenges -- "case studies" if you will. This positions you as the expert in your readers' minds more than your coming out and saying so. 2.
  • 7 Marketing Lessons We Can Learn From TV Infomercials - I hate to share this, but I love watching infomercials. And I've ordered more than once from them! Everything from cosmetics to a cell phone accessory. When pressed, my friends admit the same. If you sniff around most people's homes, you'll find SOMETHING ordered from an infomercial, whether it's the Ronco Rotisserie or Victoria Principal's skincare. You may think of these often annoying programs as "trash TV", but think again. Did you realize that they use many of the exact same strategies that we should? Now, I don't mean you need to scream at your customers or flash "$19.95" in blinking digits on your website! Those are gimmicks.
