I recently produced a direct mail (postcard) campaign to promote a $14.95 retail item. I wrote the copy, designed the layout and assisted with the development of the new promotional campaign it was a part of. My design earned the honor of serving as the control for future mailings, with a verified 10% response rate!
For the last year, I've served as the ghostwriting "spokesperson" for 2-time Olympic athlete and respected strength & conditioning and Judo coach. I'm responsible for creating instructional manuals, coaching articles, "real world" summaries and commentaries on recent articles from a host of medical journals, as well as polishing the CVs and bios of athletes he trains and coaches he collaborates with in his professional network.
I also work on contnent packages that are PURELY promotional. Last year, I teamed up with author and publicity guru Alex Konanykhin to create the front and back flap copy for his recent book, as well as radio advertising scripts, book reviews (published in The Washington Informer as the Book of the Month Selection), as well as some temp work in his publicity firm, writing and revising press releases for companies including Verizon.
I've been commissioned to create both online course curriculum materials and marketing campaigns for one of the largest online education protals, www.UniversalClass.com. Each course was written, designed and formatted by either myself or members of my own agency. Marketing materials were both researched and produced under my administration.
I recently teamed up with a prominent author and Oriental Medicine specialist in New York City to revamp and expand his current membership site as well as developing training materials designed to broaden the marketing, branding and promotional capabilities of acupuncture practioners.
My agency and I were recently commissioned to do the impossible: Create one full-length ebook (100 pages, 15,000 words) in ONE weekend, starting from a one page outline. We turned it in 5 hours ahead of deadline, and threw in formatting and graphics for free! Total revisions requested: 2 minor changes needed to be made.
Focus Areas... A large portion of my professional portfolio has been dedicated to work inside of the real estate industry. In the past two years, I've been commissioned to create real estate listings and in-depth descriptions, training materials designed for realtors, several manuscripts on real estate investing, web site content for agents and realties, in addition to specific real estate branding initiatives.
Self publishing assistance is another of my specialties. I regularly collaborate with other authors to edit, revise, format and convert their manuscripts into polished pieces that are ready to take to the printer. We also work to identify targeted market opportunities, create full informational articles that drive traffic to their sales outlets, as well as other promotional campaign ideas and materials.
Lead generation is yet another common client objective I help bring into focus. I love to deliver "Free Reports", newsletters, autoresponder courses, teleseminars and free reprint articles that flood your server with click-throughs and keeps your administrative team scrambling to fill orders! One free article campaign I crafted (a series of 22 articles on www.ezinearticles.com) resulted in over 40,000 page views and exposure on an additional 650 publishing and newsletter outlets. The end result: maximized exposure and powerful credibility building!
Commitment To Excellence...
My #1 Professional Desire is to team up with other dynamic businesses and entrepreneurs to develop powerful, creative and salable content that meets both the client's and the audience's driving objectives.
I'm a driven 27 year-old full-time writer and creativity coach. Apart from writing and marketing, there's nothing I'd rather do!
I seriously began to pursue writing as a career objective at 13 and the only other interest I've followed was a six year stint in direct marketing management.
Today, my two specialities have united in a creative alliance that yields captivating content with a strong commercial potential. I can begin with an idea and transform it into a polished manuscript, complete with promotional materials (sales letters, press releases, email & newsletter campaigns, radio ad scripts, etc.) and a clear strategy to make financial success a reality!
