That's right, you can instantly promote your site 2 times at once!So how do you Market Your Site twice?Simple...Most of us typically promote www.yoursite.com.

| Article Title :: Is "That" Really "Very" Necessary? |
| |
|
Lift your writing from average to polished with some simple
little edits you can do right now.
That and very are two of the most overused words
in writing and often the most overlooked by writers. By using
these words with care, you'll find your sentences flowing
smoothly, and there'll be a hint of professionalism others will
be aware of, without knowing quite how you did it.
THAT
Get the feel for when to trash the word by mentally discarding
it as you edit. If the sentence works without the word, toss it;
if the sentence falls apart, keep it.
Examples:
It wasn't that easy for Lisa to study for exams.
It wasn't easy for Lisa to study for exams.

Get More Assignments by Covering Events
By David Geer I attended a presentation 50 miles away. The
speaker was an executive in the technology space, which is my
primary beat. Days before, I started pitching ideas for
coverage. I landed one assignment just before going, and another
after. While I'm waiting to hear about other pitches, I'm
writing more. I can re-use my research and call the keynoter for
additional interviews or follow-up questions. I expect to get
several assignments. Many magazines have long lead times and
will be happy to hear about the angles I can offer.
Get Announcements; Get Invited.
In my case, a PR Representative invited me. Though I'm not sure
how I was found, I c (read full article) |

11 Ways Editors Can Attract Good, Reliable Writers By David Geer
You frequently see articles for writers on how to be more
accommodating for editors. However, here are some hints on how
editors can attract great writers!
1. Communicate openly. You can inform, direct and invest in
writers, not by doing their work for them, but by taking away
the need to guess their way to success or to figure everything
out for themselves in some kind of hit or miss fashion. Provide
everything the writer needs up-front, in an orderly, assignment
fashion, so you and the writer won't have to waste time
re-writing the piece at a later date.
2. Don't be cold when sending rejections. When queries are
rejected, (read full article) |

Writing and Selling News Items By David Geer
I've found a way in to consumer and trade publications where no
opening was apparent before.
How did I attain clips in Art&Antiques, IEEE's Computer magazine
and McGraw-Hill's Engineering News-Record? By writing for their
news sections! In some cases, this calls for writing shorter
pieces, but in two of these three examples the pay was high and
in one the word count was also extensive.
While I was pitching feature ideas to Art&Antiques magazine,
some were passed to the associate editor, who was in charge of
news items. One of my feature ideas was assigned as a news item
and published June 2003 as "Docu-drama". From there, I just
started pitchi (read full article) |

The Power of "No!" By David Geer printable version
I've been practicing the power of saying "No!", no to low paying
markets, unfair deals and crazy time constraints and work loads.
This practice can leave a hole in your schedule for a while, but
it will likely be worth it. By saying "No!" you gain time to
approach well-paying markets staffed by kind-hearted folks who
value their freelancers.
Every hole begs to be filled; it's only a matter of filling it
with the right things. For example, many have tried to fill a
broken heart with alcohol, gaining only illness and more
heartache. Others gorge themselves with food, growing fat. But
if you fill yourself with love from someone who prizes y (read full article) |

Taking the Plunge - With Tips for Those Who Might Want to Do the
Same
By David Geer
Four years ago I was an employee with a regular job - for the
last time. Why did I take the risk, take the plunge and go it
alone with a technology writer start-up company? The drivers for
me were job security, necessity and desire.
I was working as a technician for an ISP. I also wrote for a
company newsletter, the technical support database, and a
technical training manual while there. Some months after another
company bought us out, we were all laid off. It was difficult to
find another technology job, and nearly impossible to find one
that paid a living wage.
I had been writing online and for a smal (read full article) |

Make more money by answering the following eight questions about
every article you write!
By David Geer
1) Can I negotiate more from this publication on this article
before I sign?
I have had publications agree to pay up to 25% more than
originally offered before the contract was signed and continued
working for that amount on future articles. I stated my
qualifications, experience and specialization on the topic area
and asked if it wouldn't be possible for them to pay more.
I never had an offer pulled or made less by asking and sometimes
I made more. It really doesn't hurt to ask. In fact, they may
even respect you more!
2) Can I hold on to my reprint rights and sell the article (read full article) |
