What I Can Do For You

For those of you who are in the process of bringing a product to market or if you are working with a company that already has their product on store shelves, you might want to consider some well placed publicity writing! Putting customer testimonials or positive reviews in the right places can do wonders for a products image. Getting this done is not as hard as some people might think, and the Internet is the perfect place to do just that.

I have been working with various companies over the summer to bring various products into the homes and minds of consumers. Products such as coffee, mobile speakers, tablet keyboards, personalized thumb drives, and more! If you are looking for some information on how the big boys do it as well as some well placed publicity you have come to the right place.

I will use my experience with these various companies to help you market your product. Whether you have just an idea or you have a full fledged product that is ready to come to market, using a smaller but experienced freelancer like myself is the best way to save money and get the job done.

I am more than willing to provide you with samples as well as a couple testimonials of my work. The advantages that you get by using a freelancer versus a larger company should be rather obvious but just in case they are not let me help you understand what those advantages are.

• You will get dedication and loyalty. A large firm might have the name recognition, but do you think they will recognize you? You are just another client to them and your needs are second to theirs. With me you get my full attention and you are priority number 1!
• All your requests will be handled directly by me. Nothing is outsourced or handed off to a secretary or assistant. 
• I have a 100% deadline rate. This means that if I tell you something will be completed by a certain time and/or date.. it will!
• My rates are more than competitive, they are untouchable. You will NOT find a large company that can offer the prices that I can for the same services. I dare you to try. 

If you are curious just what I can do for you, for your website, for your company, or your product just ask. I have a variety of experience and skills ranging from media buys to marketing and advertising to creative research. There is almost nothing that I cannot do for you. You can find my freelance services on Elance or here on my blog.  It doesn't hurt to ask just what I can do for you.

Adding Some of My Writing

Looks like things are getting crazy 'round here again. A while back I toyed with the idea of posting some of my writing here and I think I decided to do so. I had to do a little bit of research on copyright laws, rules, some of the "un-written" rules laid down by writing communities and such, and various other things. I wouldn't want any of my stuff getting out there without my byline now would I?

So.. considering that I have 2 other sites to work with as well as regular writing work that I get paid for and my family - things will move a bit slower than I would have liked. But then again, that has been the norm around here.

My Personal Idea Mill.

One of the things that I see as an issue with my writing is the inability I have to finish any one particular piece or idea. When I come up with a new idea I write it down in my writing app, but I never seem to finish it. I guess I should be happy that I at least write down what I have at the time, and I am. But I write the idea basically as a story. So when I do this, I end up with a bunch of stories that are all unfinished and range anywhere from 3 paragraphs to 3 pages (or more).

At this point in time I probably have around 150 of these "ideas" or "unfinished stories" - whatever you want to call them. In one respect I suppose this is a good way to not lose any ideas that spring to mind. But it can also become an organizational nightmare. So what is a writer to do?

I think the most obvious solution would be to start putting some sort of closure on each of the ideas. To go in and put an ending on each one or at least give each one what it needs to be either an idea that can be used later or something that can at some point become a story onto itself. The  only problem with something like this is the time that would be involved. This would be rather time consuming.

Another idea toyed with was to start putting them on a blog. Either on this one or start another specifically for the reason of hosting these story "pieces". The immediate problem that I can see with this possible solution would be how do I protect my intellectual property?

This is something to think about, for sure. I do think that I would gain some benefit from publishing them here or on another blog. Then again, if I could not protect what is mine then I just set myself up to fail. Big time.

Something to ponder.

My Tooth Infection & Me!

I finally get to a point in which I have a decent amount of work daily and the trend sees it growing even more as time goes on. The problem is that for the last two weeks (and the next week at least) I have been unable to work! It figures, I finally get to a point where I reached one of my short term goals and this happens. Why can't I work? That's easy..  I have a massive tooth infection. A week ago it spread and I ended up hospitalized and now I am having a hard time finding a dentist, or oral surgeon actually, that is willing to handle the situation at a reasonable rate and as quickly as possible.

I cannot concentrate for the most part. They have been unable to get me out of pain and as a result I have suffered. I can't eat, can't sleep, can't focus, I can't do anything hardly. At this point it has taken me about 15 minutes plus just to write this couple paragraphs. Between mistakes, corrections, and concentration problems I'm surprised I have gotten this far. Thank God for Spell Checker!

I WILL return and I will be stronger than ever! I hope.

See you guys in a week.
