Crafting a Winning Speech

I just created a new report to give away on my newest blog on Public Speaking. It’s called An Anatomy of a Speech.

In it I provide some solid tips on how to go about writing a speech or business presentation. To help promote it I also created a new Flip camera video which is below.

I’ve recently become quite aware of the need to keep these videos short. This one is well under two minutes. I like my little Flip camera, even though it doesn’t like my “Es’s”

Some day I will upgrade, but for now it’s adequate. (at least I hope it is.)

How to Turn Your Writing Skills into Dollars

A writers life means different things to different people.

Personally, I like Marlon Sander’s idea of the Writer’s Life.  He’s been practicing it since 1998 and has gotten it down to an art form. The best part of it is that he avoids the feast and famine routine of so many writers and internet entrepreneurs.

Instead of aiming for the “Big Launch” he focuses on creating products that he writes once and then gets paid on, over and over. Now he doesn’t usually get any of the super big paydays, but he does derive a very respectable, to be sought after, stream of steady income that allows him to do what ever he wants. And most days, that’s to go to his neighborhood Starbucks and spend some time writing and relaxing.  He’s all about eliminating stress from his life.  Sounds good to me.

As he explains it, his approach is not rocket science.  He creates products that are “evergreen” and useful to people, and then markets them in a sensible manner that guarantees himself a nice steady income for life. Not too shabby.

His newest product is called the Writer’s Life, and it’s a blueprint you and I can use to propel ourselves forward as writers and product creators.  So that we too can share in the security of a stable income while enjoying a writer’s life.

It’s a “money getting” cookie cutter.  Marlon Sanders has done it 122x since Dec. 3, 1998.  You can read his 155-page brand spankin’ new guide written 100% by Marlon himself and get started in 2 hours and 58 minutes, according to Marlon’s calculations.
