Re: 5 Years of Consumerism Commentary: What Would You Like to See Here?

Wow. Five years is incredible. You really should be proud of yourself. Especially when you consider that most blogs fail within the first six months. I second the variety comment. It's what keeps me coming back.

I think keeping an open mind is the key to growth in any area. And, you should be proud of your 40 pounds! The point is that you get to the end game, one slow step at a time. I'm glad that the semi-rude but very truthful doctor was able to help you set your sights a little higher. I'm also glad that you changed your diet so well. It's funny how we mostly know the right things to do, and yet, many of us still do not begin to do them until something bad happens..

We all need several honest people like that in our lives to keep us going.

I completely agree! I have had my best success using this format.

My husband (who never reads my work without being asked) made the comment

"I don't mind to read it, I mean it's bulleted and stuff, right?

It makes a huge difference, even in regular blog posts where you are not selling anything. I mean, you are still selling your writing and your point of view, so it makes sense to format them this way whenever possible!

Re: Should You Write to Women Differently Than Men?

Yeesh, where do these thin skinned women come from? I happen to belong to that half of the species and I can't imagine getting hacked off over that.

Yes, male vs. female marketing is totally different. Last time I looked, men and women were totally different, and that's a good thing.

I like to think of the "Every kiss begins with K" Kay's jewelers campaign, or even Diamonds are Forever. Look at any jewelry ads around Valentines day or Mother's Day or Christmas and ask if they are marketing to men or women?

They know full well women will drop the Big Hint and hit the men go out and purchase whatever it is...

Since companies are finally starting to realize that more women than ever before control the purse stings, marketing to women is an essential concept. How to market to one versus the other is primary.

I can't believe she even challenged you on this...

I would like add in my two cents for Remarkable Communication. http://www.remarkable-communication.com/

I am a better at writing, and marketing my writing, because of this blog.
