Why Your Press Releases Don’t Get Attention – And What You Can Do About It

I recently heard a webinar guest talk about his latest way to get rich by using Twitter. Of course, he couldn’t just say “Use Twitter.” He had to say, “Press releases suck so use Twitter.” He wasn’t the first person to badmouth press releases in favor of another tactic. And he won’t be the last. [...]

Cut Deadwood from Your Blogs, Articles, and Books

Editing – especially cutting words – is part of the writing process. Don't be afraid to cut words - if they don't add anything. Words that are unnecessary are called "deadwood." It is hard to delete words and sections. However, if deleting 1,000 words would make your book better, then that’s what you must do. [...]

Editing (and Cutting) Is Essential for Good Blogs, Articles and Books

Editing is part of the writing process. Someone once said that writing is really re-writing. That’s the truth. The first things you write will rarely see the light of day. That’s because you will revise, edit, cut, trim and add to your prose. It is hard to delete words and sections. However, if deleting 1,000 [...]

Speaking tips from Don Rickles

I caught Don Rickles’ act in Las Vegas many years ago. It was a very unique experience. While most people were dreading sitting in the front row so they wouldn’t get picked on, they needn’t have worried. He didn’t make fun of anyone in the audience. In fact, he didn’t tell one joke. Instead, he [...]
