All it takes is one article…
May 7, 2008
Though, if it only takes one article, and you can adapt this project into your own pattern, why stop at one?
What you’ll need:
An article writing system - whether you use (and REWRITE PLR), or write your own article from scratch.
A list of places that accept your articles, press releases, blog posts, and ten (no more, no less) absolute favorite bookmarking sites (I recommend Digg, Deli.cio.us, StumbledUpon and seven others ;)). As an optional extra, research some ezines in your niche, and get contact information for THEM, and grab a copy of Audiacity - for podcasting. If you choose to do this last step, you’ll need to build a little bit more than an article ;).
How to rewrite PLR
May 5, 2008
One of the major questions I get in, day in, week in, month in, month out - is how to rewrite PLR effectively, and why I DO NOT recommend article spinners.
There’s two components to this:
Why can’t I use an article spinner/software/post them on as I bought them…
By and large, most spinners wreck already (possibly) poorly written articles and turn them into mush. If you’re lucky, sometimes they work, but if you’re having to also read your articles to make sure they don’t need edited - and then editing them. Doing the same again, and over with each article. You’d probably be just as quick rewriting them.
Copywriting ‘in the black’

One of the biggest issues I’ve faced in recent months is explaining the lay basics of both copywriting and grant writing to one of my clients. Both are incredibly complex processes, if you don’t have the right ‘mindset’ for it, and more importantly, if done wrong, can cripple your business.
What writers and business owners can learn from Babylon 5
March 5, 2008
I am a sci fi geek.
I prove it, frequently, over at IRLfemale - gamer, irreverance and other fun stuff, but there’s something I worked out whilst watching Babylon 5.
Babylon 5 was a sci fi TV show that was plotted over at least five seaons. It got to season three, and J Michael Straczynski needed to change the story arc, due to the possibility of cancellation.
But it highlights a couple of things about good writing, better work, and engaging your audience.
