Hey there High Profit Writers -

Here's your video invitation to join us in Las Vegas!

Leah here.  I have a new computer.  It's a sexy iMac.  But I'm flustered because I've ben a PC gal since my first 386 (most of you don't even know what that is) back in my college days.

Anyway, I'll blame my addressing you as "High Copy Writers" at the begining of the video on my temporary iMac befuddlement. 

Why the video?  Because Beth & I just learned about a great opportunity for those of you who are building your copywriting careers and I can talk (ramble a bit, sorry ) much faster than I can write.

So, take a gander at the video.  If you look closely, you'll even see Dog Extraordinaire Scampers hanging out with me.   

Hola High Profit Writers!

I stumbled across a site you might like.

Whether you're a fiction writer or a copywriter, stories are an integral part of your writing.  Generally, if you're writing a story, you're going to write dialogue.  So, if you want to find different ways to say "said" this is the site for you.

I've never posted a message like this before, but I simply couldn't live with myself if I didn't do everything in my power to help.

How often do you have a chance to transform the life of a deserving person?

You're about to find out…

An up and coming Copywriter is in trouble.

Out of safety concerns, I don't want to post her name here because I don't want it to pop up on any searches.

I don't know her well, but she impressed me on Michel Fortin's Copywriter's board because of her helpful posts and positive energy.  Plus, I've corresponded with her a few times.

Well, I heard from my friends Mike Morgan and Jason Moffatt who filled me in on what's happening with her.  She contacted them personally and gave them permission to share her story. 

She and her four children (the youngest is only 20 months old) are fleeing an abusive relationship. 

I don't want to go into the nitty gritty, but I do want to impress how urgent her situation is.  Imagine having to flee from someone whose _mild_ attack was to to break your hands to prevent you from using the internet.  You can learn her story from Jason here:  http://www.jasonmoffatt.com/dir/239

That's a link to Jason's blog, watch his video.

From the contact I've had with her, and based on what others who know her better have to say, she isn't the kind of person to ask for help, but the situation is dire.  It took a lot of courage for her to make the move

Apparently, people like John Reese, Michel Fortin and the guys at Nitro have jumped on the bandwagon and helped too.

No, I'm not asking you to give her a penny, just to help her out even with good thoughts and even a prayer.

If you would like to help, she has a $47 downloadable product on ezines that you may find helpful.  Here's a link if you're interested: http://www.ezineincomesystem.com

That's not an affiliate link.  But she does have an affiliate program if you would like to promote her product and earn a commission. http://www.ezineincomesystem.com/affiliate.html 

If you want to help and $47 is too steep, you can find her PayPal address on Jason's blog entry.  Every bit helps as she and her children make their way to a new town and safety with nothing but hope, courage and (for now) the support of the fabulous internet communities that we're all a part of.

Please go to Jason's blog to learn more and find out how you can help… it's absolutely amazing to see the   outpouring of love and support from so many good hearted people doing what they can to help & offer support.

This is the power of the Internet to do something remarkable.

Click on this link, and let big-hearted Jason Moffatt fill you on on what you can do.

If nothing else, you can see the power of the community in action. Not to mention the gratitude of a young lady who's determined to bounce back…

Me?

I've contributed already.  Now I'm going to take some time to be grateful for my safe home and loving husband.

Thanks for reading, and here's the link to Jason's blog one more time: http://www.jasonmoffatt.com/dir/239

Hey there High Profit Writers-

Whew!

Beth and I have been swamped with projects this summer and are finally coming up for a breather.

The few times we’ve tuned in to TV, we’ve been surprised to see that The Secret is still going strong.

In fact, we caught Oprah and Nate Berkus dishing on the secret last week.  Granted, it may have been a rerun, but the show was new to us.

Anyway, Beth and I got to talking about mindset and The Secret phenomenon.

It occurred to us that while The Secret is taking the nation by storm, it’s certainly not the first time the ideas presented in The Secret have made the rounds.

That’s when we realized that we have our very own, powerful “secret” resting on our hard drives.

You see, before the slick marketing propelled The Secret  video and book into our national consciousness, a quiet unassuming treasure trove of information was being passed around, The Science of Getting Rich.

Beth and I both received our own copies through a friend’s recommendation.

Wow!

We both credit The Science of Getting Rich with laying the foundation for our success as High Profit Writers.

So now, in case you haven’t come across it in your own wanderings, we want to give you your very own copy.

The book is in the public domain, so it isn’t hard to get your hands on it.  But we’re making it soooo simple for you.

Just click here

http://www.highprofitwriter.com/Science_of_Getting_Rich.html

and download the PDF right now.

It’s a quick read (only 59 pages).  If you can’t get enough of The Secret - you might as well see one of the sources that started it all.

Seriously -

If you want to increase your productivity, we have a High Profit tip for you.

The video is only 2 minutes long, but it gives you a firsthand look at how reading a negative email - a refund request, a last minute project  change, or a e-rejection slip - can take the wind out of your sails.

Take a look and let us know what your think!

OK. I'm all for ethical promoting. Heck, if you've got a product, service, or cause feel free to promote it until the cows come home.

But I've got big problems with promotion when it crosses lines I personally (and I have a hunch a large group of people) may find offensive.

Case in point: a few months ago Prince Philip killed a fox. Yeah. It was gross. They shot it, clubbed it, then stepped on its chest. It finally died enough for them to pick it up and throw it in some neighboring brush. Here's the link:

http://www.theroyalist.net/content/view/1657/1/

Terrible story, I admit.

But it gets worse.

To protest this event and to (presumably) draw attention to his personal cause, British performance artist Mark McGowan has decided to eat a Corgi. His reasoning? The queen loves her Corgis so to protest her husband's treatment of the fox and highlight "the RSPCA's inability to prosecute Prince Philip and his friends", he'll eat one of her beloved pets.

Dang, that's harsh.

It makes me wonder how two obvious “wrongs” can make a “right.”

But that's beside the point. Right now I'm wondering why McGowan chose this particular avenue to express his protest, considering he's a vegetarian and doesn't eat meat.

OK, High Profit Writers. This one has me stumped. Your thoughts on this publicity stunt?

Beth – who's puzzling over this strange turn of events.

I just returned from speaking at a writing conference on the East Coast.

Truly interesting experience.

Aside from the usual adventure… flying to a strange city, finding the danged hotel (I believe it had to be at least three million miles from the airport), five dollar stale muffins, terribly rude TSA workers… I found the trip quite astounding.

Probably not for the reason you think.

You see, I'm a studier of all things human.

It's amazing how much you can learn about humanity just by opening your eyes and observing.

From what I figure, most of us live in a fog of our own making. We proceed from Point A to Point B without nary (I've wanted to use that word all day) a thought about anything that happens between those two destinations.

Thing is, it's the journey between those two points that yields the most incredible writing fodder. In fact, in my opinion, it's in this clearly unexplored territory that most magic takes place.

And most of us are totally oblivious.

Unless you wake up, that is.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about: think about the last time you sat in a restaurant. You sat, you ate, you probably conversed with your table mate, you paid, you left.

Fine story. Kinda boring, though.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that you probably haven't taken a moment to ponder that experience the way a high profit writer does.

You see, the difference between a traditional freelancer and a high profit writer (HPW) is that the HPW experiences life. They don't just meander from point to point, always anticipating the destination. Nope. They create magic wherever they go.

Let's head back to the restaurant example.

Your average joe arrives, eats, leaves.

A true HPW arrives with their senses tingling. They notice every little detail about the restaurant. They're mentally creating the scene. They're fully aware of the surroundings, the people they interact with, the spikes and lulls in “energy” throughout the room.

Going beyond that, the HPW ponders what they eat; the taste, texture, where it came from, how it was produced.

Who built the restaurant building? What's their story? What about the servers and cooks? Bet they've got a fascinating tale or two to tell.

Every tiny everyday experience can yield hundreds, if not thousands of stories. And, of course, each story can be sold in a myriad of ways.

All you have to do is wake up in between Point A and Point B.

Leah and I will talk about this more. But for now, I've gotta run.

Beth and I are committed to making our High Profit Writers empire your go-to-resource on how to become (and stay!) a High Profit Writer.

To do that, we need your help.

You see, we THINK we know, based on our own experiences, what you struggle with as a freelance writer. 

And so we're designing our resources with that in mind.

But wouldn't it be better if you told us exactly what you need to know?

Yep.  It absolutely would.

So here's your chance to custom design what resources are available to you that will shave years off your learning curve and add more than a few digits to your bank account.

Look to the right, under the heading "Pages" - do you see the link with the cheesey title "Tell us what you want, what you really, really want"? 

Whenever you hit a snag, have a question, or just HAVE to know something about freelance writing, click that link and fill out the form.

It's completely anonymous. 

No name or email address required, but you're welcome to provide them in your response.

Anyway, we'll keep a running tab on your input and tailor our information to your needs.

What a deal!

So, click the link to the right and tell us what you really, really want… 

P.S.  If you're not shy, feel free to add a comment telling us exactly what you'd like to see us address in the future.

Howdy and welcome to our High Profit Writers blog!

There's nothing Beth & I love more than talking shop with each other.  Okay, there may be a few things, but we do burn up the phone lines between New Mexico and Minnesota at least 3 days a week.

I can't tell you how many times we've said "We HAVE to remember to share this with our High Profit Writers!" 

Well, as a surprise for Beth (who's knocking the socks off of the attendees at her seminar in Wilmington), I decided to make it easy for us to share strategies, insights, and fun with freelance writers.

Had I been REALLY smart, I would have saved myself about 9 hours of work and enlisted her wonder wiz son, Peder, to help install and set up our fancy-dancy blog software.

But, now that it's up & running (I think) and I know we both look forward to blogging.  Heck, we've even threatened to add video, so check back often!
