Bob Eckstein just recommended our fair blog on his busy and interesting blog, Freelancers’s Lament - he wrote up a nice post on Freelancing Tips 101. Good stuff! Thanks, Bob.
By the way, if you see yourself as a freelancer this is a fun, factual and lively site with a sense of humor and humility [...]

Recently I was asked which services I use to set up my paid and free teleclasses. It’s interesting but there’s a big variance on these services. (And do see my post about Funky Free Telebridge Services - and yeah, it’s a little old so the info may no longer be totally accurate.)
For your big calls, [...]

One final note about my call with Janet Goldstein on developing killer ideas. I asked her just how many ‘new’ ideas really are floating around out there. Personally, I can’t believe there are. My mind jumps back to that old document by Socrates(?) about how there are only 9 possible plots to any play, for [...]

Here’s some more from my terrific call with publishing insider Janet Goldstein who’s vast mind I picked for insights on developing ideas publishers and media can’t resist.
We covered the essentials of What Is a Breakthrough Idea. What are its hallmarks?  That would be an idea no publisher can resist because it’s a money-maker and because [...]

This week I was thrilled to be able to interview publishing insider Janet Goldstein who is the brain behind many major book titles including Getting Things Done (David Allen) and The Dance of Anger (Harriet Lerner). Her other clients have included Wayne Dyer, and Barbara Kingsolver among others … suffice to say her 25+ years [...]

So here’s a wild idea. What if 2008 is the year you come out of hiding? (Hiding you say? But Suzanne … seriously, I’m not hiding!)
I don’t know about you, but me — I hid for a heck of a long time. It looked like I was getting things done, making things happen, but actually, [...]

OK, ask yourself seriously for a moment. Was 2007 everything you’d hoped it would be? Did you get all the clients you dreamt of? Did you get media hits galore?
I have to say 2007 has been a banner year for me – BUT only because I’d already put some critical pieces in place as the [...]

Recently I got this question:
“Could you give more details on how to find the people who are our audience?”
There is no one way to determine who your market, or audience, is. But there are lots of variations on that theme, based on what you already know about your market.
By the way, this is THE most [...]

I’ve had the pleasure this year of working with a great business consultant, Graham White. Graham has put together some pretty interesting stats regarding internet business success rates I thought might interest you.
Based on 40K people who were polled from my database and another of his client’s:
50% struggle with their businesses
40% work hard to [...]

Stop and ask yourself this question right now: what little (or big) nugget of precious information could you turn into an info product right now?
If you’re like my daughter, Teal, you have something you could sell right now that could potentially attract and immediate audience. AND you may or may not be ready yet.
