Creative Copywriting?There is a difference between creative writing and copywriting. It took me a while to come to terms with this but it's true, there is a difference. When I first started my home based business on the Internet I read a lot of advice about publishing articles and doing copywriting to advertise your website. There was always a distinction drawn between copywriting and creative writing. I did not understand this: surely copywriting is creative? Eventually the logic dawned on me: all copywriting is creative writing but not all creative writers can write decent ad copy. If you have never studied that particular branch of philosophy, it's like all roses are flowers but not all flowers are roses. Visitors' rate: (10) [rate it]

Time OffI get asked a lot about time off and how I manage to take so much of it to play. Many years ago one of my mentors taught me that the human body is like a multi-billion dollar racehorse. If you owned that horse, how much time off would you give it in between races? The answer seems simple enough, but somehow we get caught up in the stress of day-to-day life and we forget to rest. And I mean really rest! Visitors' rate: (4) [rate it]
Crossing The Line Of FearOh, this is a great topic! I remember when I was younger and in school, fear stopped me from asking out a girl I wanted to date. I can remember all the thoughts of different things I wanted to say and how I would ask her out. But as quickly as the thoughts to ask her out popped in my head, I came up with all the reasons why she might say no. I remember the "feeling" of rejection and embarrassment even though I didn't even pick up the phone! It's as real in my mind right now as it was then. I didn't understand it then but I certainly do today. Visitors' rate: (5) [rate it]

The Best Things in Life Are Rarely ThingsHave you ever noticed this to be true? The best things in life for me are those things are not things at all.

I'm not a big fan of the "link exchange" concept. I think it's generally a lot of work
(contacting site owners and begging for links) and there is very little return
(low response rate and poor links). However, LookForLinks.com has put together exactly the right
formula: it's next to zero work, even the most expensive option is almost no money, and the
links are automatic and valid. This is the very best way for any website owner to implement a
link exchange program.
