Marketing “NOT AS USUAL”

No, I’m not going to do the ‘If I build it, they will come’ technique for my writing broker business. Anyone who thinks that you can pop up a website and suddenly have a lucrative business is dillusional at best.

I’m going to actively approach companies and blogsites that have crappy content, choppy sentences, horrifying grammatical errors, etc. I think that should keep me busy for a while…lol

I still have not been approached by anyone who would like to go into business with me. There’s no catch, no investment (except for some time). I’m going to transition into it while still freelance writing for my current clients.

There are a lot of women on WAHM who are writing their asses off for these websites that have a ‘revenue sharing’ program. I don’t see why someone wouldn’t want to hook their wagon to me instead? What are these people going to do when they have spent all that time writing hundreds of articles and the website goes under? At least this is a real, do-able business idea.

Maybe I’m supposed to do it by myself? I think not. But if I have to.

I just found an awesome resource for locating writers and writing gigs. It’s called CraigsList Reader and it’s a program that does a mass search of your keywords and gives you the results from all over the USA or the world at one shot. That was a much needed invention. Kudos to the company that made it. I’ve been using it this morning and it works very well.

Going to church soon so I guess I’ll go get ready. Our family goes to Word of Life in Fort Myers, Florida. It is the coolest church ever. Every week I cry my head off during the service. They have an 18 month program that helps people get off of drugs, alcohol, and other life problems. Whenever they get up and give their testimony, it is so powerful I can’t even tell you. I’ve never attended a church that I was excited to go to on Sunday morning. Word of Life is definitely NOT “church as usual!”
