Get Unstuck: How To Beat Writers Block
Yes, yes, I know – it’s been a while since my last blog post. To be honest, I ran out of things to write about… or I had too many things to write about and just didn’t know where to start. Believe me, there’s nothing worse than sitting down to create a blog post only to find that NOTHING comes out. So I hop onto Twitter, check my email for the umpteenth time… all the while trying to think of SOMETHING that I can write about. Searching for the inspiring post that will engage and energize my reader(s) After days, weeks, months of silence, I finally decided that there’s a blog post sitting right in front of my nose: examining the roots of writers block and some simple tips to get back into action. The Root Causes of Writers Block… and how to kick them to the curb! Writers Block #1: Boredom Let’s start with my all time favorite: boredom. Maybe you’ve been writing about the same thing for so long that you’re just plain sick of it. Or maybe you were inspired to write something in the middle of the night that seemed like a great idea but now that you’re actually down to the task of writing it seems… well dumb! For me, boredom is usually an indication that I’m starting off in the wrong direction. iDeborah’s Writers Block-buster: Just start writing: Put pen to paper and write out anything that pops into your mind. It doesn’t even have to be related to what you were originally intending to write. This is an old trick from my days in a creative writing group. I used to start my mornings with blank paper […] -

The First Rule of Fight Club
iMarketing Tip: Know Your Customer I’m a big movie buff and an even bigger music lover so it’s not unusual to hear me quote movies or song lyrics. Case in point: The first rule of Fight Club: you do NOT talk about Fight Club. We’re not going to talk about fighting or even discuss the merits of NOT talking about something… it simply popped into my head when I was sitting down to write this ezine. The first rule of iMarketing: you MUST know your customer. Know your customer. If there were a list of rules for doing business online, this would undoubtedly be at the top of the list. When I used to work for a Brokerage House, one of the forms that we had to fill out for every client that opened a trading account was the KYC Form (Know Your Client). It contained the usual address information but then got into specifics about their trading preferences (on a scale from high risk to conservative), how long they had until retirement, other information about their household, etc. etc. The information was collected so that the Broker could make recommendations based on a unique understanding of each client’s goals and circumstances. The same deep knowledge of your client (or target market or ideal customer depending on which particular guru you follow) is critical to your success in marketing your business. I’ve seen it time and time again: a lot of businesses spend countless amounts of money and man-hours using the wrong marketing strategies or platforms or even words to reach their customers – both their potential customers and current customers. There’s nothing worse than standing on the inside of a company and watching a […]
