There are amazing new opportunities that are capable of helping any writer market and sell their work very efficiently and successfully. 1. Sell More By Giving Out Information On Your Book One of the greatest obstacles potential buyers of books have always had in making a decision on whether or not to purchase a title, is getting enough information about It.
  • From Information Age to Recommendation Age - Not too long ago, when someone wanted information, she would have to drive to the library, use the card catalog, and search the stacks of books and magazine to find it. Then the Information Age arrived. Computers and the internet have brought information home to the average person. There is now too much of a good thing because of this fact. Many people believe we are still in the Information Age. What they do not realize is that people are drowning in too much information to the point where they are easily overwhelmed.
  • How To Overcome The Lyric Writing Hurdles That Are Keeping You Behind - The lyric writing side of songwriting is known to create an enormous number of problems for some folks. No matter how hard they try, they are unable to write a single line that they can be pleased with. In many cases these very same people make phenomenal advancements in writing music and melodies. However they just can't seem to figure out how to come up with suitable lyrics to match them. If you are facing such a situation, there's probably no need to worry. By taking certain appropriate steps you should be able to overcome lyric writing hurdles and write songs that deliver.
  • Tackling a Writing Assignment: How To Get Started - Writing assignments are often considered the worst possible class or course assignment. There's nothing worse than sitting down in front of a computer, with a blank screen in front of you. Where do you start? How do you get that first sentence written? Once you start, how do you avoid common mistakes? And when you are ready to finish the paper, how do you make sure you catch all the mistakes? Using Word Unless you regularly use Word (the word-processing software in Microsoft-based operating systems), you might not know too much about how to use it to create even a simple document, much less a term paper or other research-type paper.
  • From Idea to Published Book... How to Self-Publish the Easy Way! - I've been involved in publishing for over a decade now as an author, editor, and project manager; however, it wasn't until just a few years ago that I decided to move into self-publishing. Indeed, my first few projects involved consulting for others and, now, I am involved in my own, personal projects. It has taken a while for me to come back around to my own works, but in the process I learned how to minimize time and expenses in producing a book and getting it to market. This short article will not try to explain every aspect of book publishing in detail, but it will brush on a few of the important topics. I have a few other book projects in the making that will detail the book self-publishing process; however, in the mean time, this should give you a good basis of understanding.
  • How You Can Improve Your Songwriting Skill - Are you a beginning songwriter who strives towards writing songs that become hits? Do you need to know how you can improve your songwriting skill? It's not too complicated. Don't try to re-invent the wheel. As far as I'm concerned the best way to improve your songwriting is to study what hit songwriters do. Forget about the mediocre stuff and learn from the leaders in the songwriting and music industry. Study what works.
  • Inspiring the Poet in You! - Poems. Just the mention of them makes me smile. Why? Simple. I delight in writing and reading poetry. Some tend to think that to be a poet is not easy and that it must be those deep thinkers who can write poems.
  • How to Write Funny - It's All About Timing - My Dad has this old joke that goes, "What's the most important thing about humor?" After a short pause, he interjects, "TIMING!" I've rolled my eyes many a time over this joke. But here's a new version for writers: "What's the most important thing about writing funny? ......

  • How to Write Words Worth a Thousand Pictures - We live in a new image-driven society. It can be hard on writers unless they learn to connect with today’s readers. Writing that connects is easy when you keep a few basic writing principles in mind. Let’s face it, as a writer, you are competing with the greatest influence in our image-driven society, the film and television industry. So, let’s take three well-known words in film making as cues for effective writing. Ready? Lights! Camera! Action! Lights! Catch the reader's attention.
  • Succeeding in the Business of Freelance Writing - Something that's always surprised me about the freelance writing business is just how many writers there are out there who don't seem to realize that they're running a business. Succeeding in the Business of Freelance Writing It never fails to surprise me just how many make no effort whatsoever to try and "sell" themselves. Some simply post a quote and nothing else: no information about themselves, no indication about their skills and experience, nothing.
  • Writing in the Shower (or Wherever You May Be) - I just glanced at the clock. 7:35 am. That leaves me ten, maybe fifteen minutes to write before it's time for me to head for my day job. What can I possibly accomplish in so little time? A lot, as it turns out. My current schedule only permits me to devote snippets of time to my passion, my true vocation. On some days, despairingly, I spend those precious moments staring helplessly at a blinking cursor, or with pen in frozen hand; on others, my fingers fly across the keyboard and words appear almost effortlessly across the screen. What makes the difference between writer's block and productivity? The difference lies in how I spend my time away from the keyboard.
  • What Is Persuasive Copywriting And How Can It Help Your Business? - Persuasive copywriting is what draws the attention of prospective customers. They see your product and are drawn it. But what makes this happen? What words can win a customer over without having them laugh at overstatements and hype? Persuasive copywriting is the style of writing that every business needs in order to get customers to purchase something. Online, there is a large market for individuals who can write in a persuasive style. Sure, everyone has their own specific style, but the only thing that truly matters is sales. Unless the words draw the customer in and help them to make a purchase, the words are wasted. If the customer has a dollar to spend, he will spend it on your website or on another.
  • Don't Pester The Editor - As an editor, I can tell you that one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when a writer "pesters" me every other day or once a week about his (or her) submission. I don't mind if it's a viable question, but what I hate is when the writer's impatience takes hold and I feel "squeezed" as if the writer's pestering is going to make me accept his (or her) submission faster. I think new writers, or writers with too much time on their hands, think that a little pestering will keep him (or her) on the forefront of the editor’s mind so that when the editor sees his (or her) submission, the editor will be inclined to look at it, recognize the name, and then buy the piece. And in a way, it makes sense. But what usually happens is quite the opposite.
  • Cover Letters that Stand Out from the Crowd - Grabbing the reader's attention is of paramount importance whether you realize it or not. Failing to attract and keep the attention of the reader most likely will result in failing to get an interview. Hiring managers are inundated with cover letters and resume and we all have busy personal lives.
  • Warning to Direct Marketers: Asking These Questions Will Kill Your Conversions - For those marketers who labor tirelessly, though fruitlessly, oblivious to marketing history, and unversed in copy that brings home the bacon—please take note: this article is for you. To begin... One of the most famous questions ever asked in an ad was penned almost a century ago by copywriting legend Maxwell Sackheim. It read: Do you make these mistakes in English? It was the headline for an ad that sold a rather pedestrian mail-order language course.
  • Write a Better Technical Article in Half the Time - Good technical articles are challenging to write. They’re time-consuming, demanding to research and hard to organize. But they’re valuable weapons in the PR and marketing arsenal, and you need them. If you can outsource the article, great. That’s what writers like me are here for.
  • The Secret to Good Writing - Skilful business writing involves getting your message across simply and quickly. This often means writing in a style that is easily read and understood by a broad audience.
  • The Phantoms of Six Mile Road - I was going through a box of personal belongings a couple of weeks ago, when I stumbled across some pictures of my 1978 high school graduation. My daughter Vonnie laughed at those pictures and asked me if everyone dressed that way in the old days. The old days? 1978 is now the old days?
  • The Myths Of Writing: Have You Bought Into These? - There is an image most people carry of the artist (think Van Gough's self-portrait, the one with his ear bandaged), working in solitude in a barren garret in a dark corner of the city. Everyday is a struggle. He continually walks between moments of brilliance and moments of insanity. It's a romantic image, I suppose. Built around the belief that an artist must suffer for his art. This applies not only to the painter, mind you, but also to the actor, the dancer, the photographer, the writer. We all must suffer for our art. But image and reality are often two different things. Writing, for example, does NOT have to be a torturous process of endurance and pain.
