Re: Game of Thrones, for Real: See African Tribal Art at Bronze Kingdom

How interesting! Any idea how old most of these pieces are? Wondering if they have history or are the types of art being created regularly in these African villages.

Rona, does the facility have any clinical proof their treatments work? Have they done tests?

Re: 5 Books From 2014 That I’ve Read More Than Once

Pat, my favorite book from 2014 was "Younger Next Year" by Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge. It takes a common-sense approach to how to live strong, fit and sexy until you're 80 and beyond. Sounds good to me!

Re: The Story of Tony and Tina: A Tale of an Agency Gone Very Wrong and How You Can Avoid the Same

Trent,

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. Your point about me not being the only one skilled enough to write copy is of course true. I'm not that egotistical to think I'm blessed with a talent no one else can match. My challenge has been finding copywriters with good skills who are willing to work at a sub-contractor's rate. There has to be enough meat on the bone for us both to make money.

With regard to creating detailed instruction sets for the purpose of delegating work, your response has got me thinking. I can think of some projects where that approach would work. Again, thank you for your suggestions.

Re: The Story of Tony and Tina: A Tale of an Agency Gone Very Wrong and How You Can Avoid the Same

Susan Greene — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 15:48:04 -0000

I enjoyed your post. Like Tony, I struggle with scaling my business. I provide a personal service, copywriting. Clients hire me because they like my writing style. Most wouldn't be pleased if they learned someone else was actually doing the work.

Also, because every project is different, I'm not sure how to build systems that would allow me to delegate the work beyond administrative tasks. Sure plenty of competant copywriters exist, but the good ones charge rates comparable to mine, which means there's not enough meat on the bone for us both to make a profit on a job.

Hey Trent, I was wondering if you'd picked your weekly winner yet for your Digital Marketing Handbook. Fingers crossed for good luck here.

Re: Do Viral Videos Make You Look Cool… or Stupid?

Susan Greene — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 11:26:15 -0000

Interesting post, Jim.

I watch my children's habits when it comes to online material and am amazed at what a significant role videos play.

Whereas I read blogs, my kids look at vlogs.

Whereas I'll go to a news site or newspaper to start my day, my kids go immediately to YouTube and look at whatever is getting the most views.

Whereas I send links of relevant articles to friends, my kids send links to videos.

Whereas I take still photos of significant events in my life, my kids shoot videos with their iPhones.

Whereas I'll read a "Dummies" book to learn a new skill, my kids will look for an online video tutorial.

Whereas I post written content on websites, my kids post videos on YouTube. In fact, my 12-year-old daughter told me just this morning that she'd just uploaded her 100th video (most are product reviews of toys).

I'm not sure what all this means other than it's hard to ignore the growing impact of video, particularly for young people.

Re: Did The New MacBook Air Just Crush The iPad?

Susan Greene — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:35:47 -0000

Interesting post. Can the Macbook Air be used as an e-reader? And what if you're using a PC and then get a Macbook Air? They can't talk to each other or share documents, i.e. Word docs, right? (If that's a dumb question, please pardon my Mac ignorance).

Re: Win a Social Media Marketing Library

I get the biggest return for my business using social media when I show my contacts that I am genuinely interested in them as a person and care about their happiness and well-being.

Re: Nominate Your Favorite Writing Blog: 4th Annual Top Top 10 Blogs for Writers Contest

Susan Greene — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:48:06 -0000

My vote goes to Collective Inkwell by Sean Platt and David Wright. They are a dynamic duo who write and design amazing blogs. (Collective Inkwell is just one example of their exemplary work.)

A true inspiration to other creative types, Collective Inkwell shows the awesomeness that occurs when two top-notch talents explore new horizons.
