Often clients come to me because they truly want to get the recognition they deserve in the form of publicity both online and in the media. They’re looking for a starting point to get the word out so they have a general understanding of press releases and strategies. This is an important step in building your brand awareness and increasing credibility. At the same time there are often key foundational pieces missing. Pieces that need to be in place before you really start creating publicity buzz. And, I’m always upfront about that.

In the news industry, a news release is known as a handout. It does not matter for the news industry that the press release writing is not perfectly composed. But it matters if the press release does not contain all the relevant facts about which it is written. While large publications often rewrite the news releases fitting with their status and writing styles, small papers do not rewrite them and often use them as it is. Writing AP style means that the press release is simp

What is the best advice you can hear to help you write a book? Two words: Show up. The more you show up to write your book, the better chance you will not only write a book, but complete and publish it, too. Here is its value. Showing up to write a book – whether you do it in systematic spurts or daily – reveals you take yourself seriously and give to yourself lovingly as a writer.

Firstly, your book should be able to attract a considerable amount of readers; it has to be something that is new and interesting, preferably a topic t
It must come as no surprise that there is a shift going on where, through a combination of approaches, some spiritual and some scientific, our understanding of ourselves as human beings and, more specifically, as humans in dynamic relationship with the rest of the beings on the planet is undergoing a positive (I hope) transformation.

Sometimes just starting the writing process can be a challenge especially if you are a content developer due to the frequency with which you compose. It is inevitable that periodically you will be stricken with writers block which can be like quick sand. The more you stare at a blank screen searching for ideas, the deeper you sink into the mental paralysis you are experiencing. The only thing that can really help you snap out of this state is some type of 'stimulation' and a

Suddenly, everybody wants to write content - write good content - for better search engine ranking. Not just content – you must update your websites regularly. Because Google says so! For the sake of AdSense, everybody is busy in content development. But how to write content and wherefrom to get content? Has anyone ever bothered to check what the millions of those web pages waiting behind the top five or ten (if one has patience to go that far) contain? I am certainly not su
Writing it All Down: Format Your Preliminary Draft 1st Draft Mention the type or genre of the book.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "content rich"? Well, when writing your way to wealth, writing an article that showcases your expertise is like investing in a sure thing.

It only takes a moment, but it makes all the difference. Before you begin your next project, stop to ask your deepest self how you define the scope of this new task. The difference is one of inspiration and guidance. We all have this deepest self, and most of us are lucky to have had fortunate moments where we feel unstoppable because we are tethered to the momentum of our dreams – in these times we do not need to stop everything and check in with ourselves because we feel already wholly self-reliant due to being integrated with the forces that create, compel and motivate us.
Do you think that business success is truly a choice? I believe that it is. Anyone who has ever started a business knows there is work involved. It takes a clear vision, strategic planning, marketing and more to be successful. The two traits of successful businesses that I see most often (regardless of the type of business) are consistency and communication. To truly choose success, you must incorporate both into your overall strategy.
Like many small business owners, I have to multi-task, so as a literary agent, I recently had this insight while at the Pacific Ocean. When I wear my agent cap, the stories that I love the most, are the ones which hold my attention. Simple as that. Nothing esoteric. The same way these stories ...
My article today is an offering of a very simple writing tool that can be a powerful way to transform stuck emotions into your life. Writing Your Way Through Stuck Places Do you ever wake up in the grips of an emotion that you can’t shake? Maybe it’s fear or anxiety. Sometimes it seems connected to something in particular, and sometimes it seems just looming, massive, and totally pervasive. That’s how I woke up this morning. Overwhelmed by this complete and total sense of
As writers, we tend to think about writing and what it takes to write a book. But what about reading a book? Although it doesn't take near as long as the writing part, it still takes a while. When you ask someone to read your book, you're asking them to set aside other things they could be doing--reading something else, hanging out with their kids, or whatever--and spend ten or so hours with you and your thoughts. That's a pretty serious request. And as a writer, you have to keep in mind the fact that if you don't take your writing and your book seriously, no one else will either.

I have a cool memorabilia board, and I switch it out every now and then. Through February, it still had Christmas cards and the like hung on it. As it came to my consciousness that it was time to change it out, it occurred to me that I was freshening up the energy. There's a difference between clearing out old, stuck energy... and renewing energy that might be fine... and could use some rejuvenation.
When you are rewriting articles or web contents yourself or has outsourced the same to some company, a couple of options are there before both. Either the article rewriting can be performed manually by a flesh and blood writer or it can be accomplished using some software.

A crucial component of writing from your soul is having the sacred space in which to do it. You can't just whip up something powerful, compelling, and from the heart in the five minutes between the conference call with Client A and the weekly meeting with your VA. When you're in sacred space, it's much easier for the message and the words to come through (or the new project design or painting or whatever). It's as if you become a conduit for the words from your soul. Sacred space allows that. Franticness, stress, busily checking off to-do's... none of that is conducive to sacred space.
