1). Shifting Deadlines
As a writer who works on multiple projects at any given time, I attempt to pin down a deadline from my clients even if one is not stated. Why? Because, the "I am in no hurry for these" statements invariably becomes, "are you done with the articles?" How embarrassing is that if I make the assumption that a project could be put off, especially if my client wants it now?
I have learned to do the following: as soon as I get a project I ask for a specific timeline for when the job should be completed.

2). THE SYNOPSIS...made easy!
You have completed your mss, you have even written a cover letter to enclose with your mss, but still, that is not enough! You need a synopsis of your work to add to them as well.
What is a synopsis?
A synopsis is a summary of your work. You must always enclose a synopsis with your mss. Do not expect the editor/publisher to read your mss without it, as they do not have much time available.

3). Google’s click fraud woes
Google has been under a lot of pressure these days to become more open about their efforts towards combating click fraud. Google’s main source of revenue is online advertising via their AdWords program. AdWords allows advertisers to have their ad shown when a particular keyword is searched for in Google or if the same keyword appears in the content of a website that subscribes to Google’s AdSense program.

4). Comic Books: Our Own Worst Enemy?
Like most comic publishers I spend quite a bit of time thinking about the state of the industry and how to make it better – well, truthfully, how to make my little corner of it better. After spending a lot of time thinking it over and discussing what everyone perceives to be the main elements leading to the downfall of comics (the distributor monopoly, for example), I realized what the biggest problem and killer really is: the industry.

5). Maintaining Article Integrity
Inasmuch as I enjoy writing, I do not enjoy participating in schemes to create “templated” articles for other "authors" to use or misuse to their delight. Or, at the very least, to profit from my hard work!
On occasion, I am asked by a client to take someone else's article, make some changes, and make it their article. Quite frankly, this smacks of plagiarism.

6). A Strategy For Coming Up With A Great Book Title
Go into a bookstore and browse through the titles in the bestseller section. Book publishing companies hire high-priced people to come up with a title or “headline,” because book publishing is a big business; therefore a lot of contemplation goes into making their titles as commercially-viable as possible. Many well-known and highly successful books started out with other titles.

7). Article Marketing: Breaking Free
As a prolific article writer I have been asked by some how I am able to generate so many quality articles in such a short period of time. Frankly, it isn’t always easy, but there are some things I would like to share with you in order that you may, perhaps, increase your production as I have. Increased production for you means additional and regular submissions resulting in greater exposure of your name on the world wide web.

8). Advertising Your Small Business On A Limited Budget
The best advertising deal, whether for a small business or large, is advertising that works. The price a business owner pays for advertising would not be an issue if the outcome of the ad was known.

10). Article Writing and Clients: When Things Do Not Work Out
In each of my business relationships, I expect that mutual respect and trust be essential ingredients in my association with the other individual. If one or both traits do not exist, then the relationship shouldn’t proceed any further.
So, what do you do when you have an uncomfortable or odd feeling about working for someone, but you can’t put your.

11). Consistent Writing Means Consistent Results
I had an engaging conversation recently with a friend who writes for a living as I do. One question that came up from my friend to me was, “How do you write so often and so well?” Naturally, I appreciated his question and considered it to be a compliment. Goodness knows there have been times after I wrapped up a project that I wasn’t too confident about what I had written.

12). Strengthen Your Website Content With Online Database Access
Website content, as articles, has taken center stage as web publishers scramble to differentiate their online offers. As both the quantity and quality of articles have accelerated, so too have online directories. These directories often resemble mere lists, but they can be powerful content additions that serve to deepen the value of the overall selling proposition by helping users in locating critical, related resources that for the visitor is otherwise much too time consuming.

14). Managing Your Business Wisely
If you are a writer, especially one who charges for your services, having a business plan in place is essential. Never mind that a business plan can help you run your business more effectively, but a plan should be one that passes IRS scrutiny as well as meets all state and local government requirements.
Sometimes it is nearly impossible to figure out what steps you should take in order to even meet the myriad requirements.

1. Don’t set yourself a writing routine or stick to it.
