This is a guest post courtesy of Derryck of BigStarCopywriting.com. (Love the spelling of his name, don’t you?) He approached me about writing a guest post for BGB, and when he offered this particular topic, I thought it a great fit and so immediately agreed. I’ve been struggling a bit myself in the creativity department, not really from lack of ideas, but lack of motivation. However...
This is a guest post I wrote just before my dad died, that went live on Copyblogger not too long ago. It’s gotten an excellent response thus far, and if you’re a writer struggling to be “you”, it might do you some good to read it. 😉 Thoughts, comments and feedback can be left on Copyblogger or shot to me via email. XoXo BGB’ers!
This is a guest post from Chris Hoole. I have to agree, going pro as a writer is pretty daft. It’s not easy, it’s not always fun, and sometimes you wonder if you’re in the right line of work. However as he mentions, for many writers it’s not always a matter of choice… it’s almost a compulsion! Kind of like diarrhea of the fingers or something. Words. Must...
This is another guest post by Chris Hoole on the merits of blogging, when done in the right way. Make him feel welcome by dropping any questions or thoughts in the comment area below this post. 🙂 Ah, the fresh invigorating virtual air of the blogo-shpere; the Internet equivalent of a walk in the country. Or is it? Blogging, like any other Internet phenomenon began life as innocent past-time...
This is a guest post by Danny Iny, and since I’m a big fan of references to pop culture on BGB, and drawing parallels between them for your biz, Danny sweet-talked his way into writing for you guys. 😉 No really it’s just a damn good post, no sweet talking required. Let’s make him feel welcome by starting a bit ‘o conversation shall we? So many things happen on Wisteria...
Howdy BGB’ers! I know it’s a Saturday and many of you are likely off having a bang up time with your families. However due to some custody drama yesterday (don’t you hate that shite?!) this post didn’t go up when it was supposed to. Thus, I had to do it today as I simply couldn’t wait and wanted you to get all the goods about something cool I’ve recently been asked to review. Please know that I...
OK, so maybe not with a shoestring and a thumbtack. But with a brain definitely (minus the pea) as well as an Internet connection and a lap top. Or at least access to an Internet connection and a lap top. C’mon, we’re not going all MacGyver here, sheesh. Anyhoo. I thought I’d write a post today tonight 2 days ago, exploring two very viable ways a motivated chap (or chappete)...
It’s come to my attention after my first stint on ProBlogger that I’m NOT the only writer on the planet that likes to write naked and eat lots of ice cream and chocolate. And by write naked I mean fully clothed but like… totally vulnerable and authentic. HA! You thought I really meant naked didn’t you. Dirty. Really though, I’ve decided a writers club is in order. “The Naked Writers Generation...
This is a new piece by Miz Sarah Harris on a topic I’m sure we all struggle with, even if writing is not your primary profession like me. Please enjoy, and be sure to make her feel welcome by dropping a comment below. Writers come in all shapes and sizes. Hardcopy, web, journalism, fiction, blogs… They all have something in common. Writer’s block. This is especially painful if you depend...
If you catch the attention of the reader in the first paragraph of your sales letter, your reader will most likely read through to the second paragraph. And if you have convinced him to read on by your first paragraph, the more your second paragraph will be convincing because by now your reader will believe he has a need for your product or service because you’ve suggested that the product that...
