I've worked in sales, the mental health field, education, and diversity training. In the mental health field, I've worked with teens living in residential treatment centers. I've also counseled adults with life issues, helped them plan career goals, monitored their progress in college, and help them with job placement.
I've taught college English, reading, and public speaking. My fields of expertise include business communication, composition, and literature.
I have a long history of working in jobs that help people make goals and achieve those goals. All these jobs are in fields where measurable results are evident. Sales is no exception. I like working as a change agent.
My ultimate goal has always been to combine my psychology degree and English degree in a way that can help people grow, succeed, and prosper.
Why should you hire me? Because you're bored with milk and cookies copy. Because you're ready to blow the roof off your ROI with a sales message that converts words into cash. Because you don't trust just anyone to sell your product.
I work with top marketers who have sold products in more than 50 countries worldwide. I specialize in product launches, self help sales copy, and results.
I have real-world experience with my niche market. For years, I was a student of self-help products, and I've seen how they can help people make big changes in their lives.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in psychology and a Master's Degree in English with a creative writing emphasis. I know how to dig into your customers' needs, develop a compelling story they can identify with, and weave that story into your sales message.
I understand the psychological triggers that touch upon your customer's need to buy. I also understand the power of language.
Finally, my stay-committed-through-the-course-of-the-campaign strategy ensures that I can work with you from start to finish with your product launches, if that's what you need. I've written sales letters, ebooks, autoresponders, squeeze pages, voice-overs, and more.
I'm also knowledgeable in website conversion factors. I can look at your site's layout and recommend changes that increase conversion rates.
Online/offline marketing is a wonderful adventure and something I'm passionate about. I always say if you're not getting excited about what you're doing, you're not doing it right. Throw away the cookie cutter, and forget what your competition is doing. It's time to stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.
Bob is a search engine optimizer who hires writers to write content for his clients. I cut my teeth in copywriting writing SEO articles. I've written approximately 40 articles for Bob Sakayama for the following websites: GiftTree.com, MocassinHouse.com, RVToyOutlet.com, and SoftwareOutlet.com.
Joan came to me with the idea of marketing an e-book designed to help women make better decisions during their custody battles. Joan's expertise is working with vindictive ex-spouses. I edited and expanded the e-book, wrote the sales letter, wrote the squeeze page, and edited the autoresponder series. This project launches in February 2008.
I've worked with Ricky and his wife Marquetta on a variety of writing and editing projects for BraidsByBreslin.com and RickyBreslin.com.
I edited an e-book and wrote an autoresponder series for Michael and his wife Dana for their FoodSense.com site.
