Why blog?
| Since I am in the business of words, I get asked all the time if I blog and what I think of blogging. Until recently, the answer to the first question was "no." I just didn't think that in-between running this business and running my family I had the time (it seemed to me some of these bloggers were pecking away on their keyboards 24/7). To answer the second question, I wrote this article: http://www.getitinwriting.biz/info_detail.php?NewsArticleID=11. I think it answers that one pretty well. Have a great weekend! |

Is copywriting like copyrighting?
| We get asked this all the time! Yes, they sound exactly the same but are spelled differently and of course are two totally different things. Copyrighting refers to a type of ownership protection for literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and certain other intellectual works. It's an area best navigated by a legal professional and has little to do with copywriting. Copywriting, well that's my gig. In the simplest of terms, it's about writing to sell. Using words to sell a product, service or even an idea. These are words you may see on a computer screen (like on a website), read on a piece of paper (like in an ad, on a brochure or even on the back of your cereal box), hear on the radio or even see in the sky for that matter. 'Words' and 'sell', that's what you need to remember (that's your 'main idea' as my 8-year-old would say). |

So.....whattsa blog?
| I've gotten a lot of questions, inquiries and comments about blogs over the past year or so. If it has to do with words, people reason, then their favorite copywriter (i.e., me) and their favorite copywriting company (i.e., Get It In Writing) should of course know about it, do it and breathe it, right?Truth be told, I know little more about blogs than the average entrepreneur off the street and far less than the expert blog people out there. But I'm willing to try it out...why not?So see you in the blog-o-sphere. |
