My partner, Sharon, and I know first-hand how awful it can be when a hacker
gets to your website and literally freezes your business, if not kills it completely.
I sure wish we had known about this eBook, by Jason Tarasi, that could have
protected us from this terrible nightmare. You owe it to yourself and your business 
to see it for yourself, the Insider's Guide To Website Protection . This might be 
the best $9.97 you have ever spent AND it comes with free resale rights so you can
help others avoid this terrible catastrophe.

Give Your Business Writing the Authenticity Advantage

 

Written on December 13, 2010 by Karen Marcus in Writing Tips and Tricks

 

 

As the term “authenticity” has gained momentum in recent years, I’ve been surprised.

 

Hasn’t authenticity always been important? Yes. It’s just that with the rise in popularity

of social media and online marketing, a lack of authenticity is easier to spot.

 

You can get away with a lack of sincerity if customers only interact with you once a month

when they come into your store or visit your website. But, when you engage in online

conversations, you’re “out there” every day, and it becomes apparent very quickly

what you have to offer–or if you’re just looking to gain. With so much focus on content,

it’s more important than ever to give your business writing the authenticity advantage.

 

Here are some tips for making it happen:

Positive Quote

 

 

The great thing and the hard thing is to stick to things when you
have outlived the first interest, and not yet got the second, which
comes with a sort of mastery.

-- Janet Erskine Stuart
