More Editing and Writing Help On the Way
Yay! My new little help for writers is on Amazon in all its chartreuse, red, and yellow glory!
Yep, you can now order a copy to put in your briefcase and read on the fly! It’s the Great Little Last-Minute Editing Tips for Writers: The Ultimate Frugal Booklet for Avoiding Word Trippers and Crafting Gatekeeper-Perfect Copy.
This is a booklet. It isn’t intended to be a complete reference for every sneaky homonym in the English language. For one thing there is a nice list of those pesky guys in The Frugal Editor (www.budurl.com/TheFrugalEditor). It’s small partly because it isn’t intended to be drudgery. It’s only 54 pages, so it’s a small, easy-to-read dose of some of the most difficult word trippers, not the ones you learned in the fourth grade. And it is written with a bit of humor to brighten the experience. If you don’t learn anything from it, send it back to me and I’ll refund your money.
Buy the paperback at www.budurl.com/WordTripperPB. It is only $6.95. You support a friend (me!) and you brush up on skills for your writing career. What could be better than that?

Booklets sell well? Always thought about trying one.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI'm emailing you because your blog, Sharing with Writers, has been identified by
Bambera researchers as being an influential
blog with good outreach.
We are inviting you to join Bambera’s network to be paid for promoting
interesting sponsored content (think clever viral videos and
infographics).
--Sign Up Today--
There are a limited number of promotional opportunities. Sign up today at
Bambera.com: http://www.bambera.com
--More Information--
Bambera.com is a social network marketing company that connects bloggers
and tweeters with sponsored content that matters to their audiences.
Bambera is different. We despise spam marketing. Bambera asks power
influencers like yourself to promote content that your readers, friends
and followers will actually enjoy.
--How Does It Work?—
Here's how Bambera works:
1) Our clients identify which audiences they would like to reach with
their sponsored message.
2) We ask relevant promoters (you!) to blog, Tweet, etc. the content they
feel is appealing to their readers/friends/followers. (So if you have a
blog about men's health, you don’t have to promote a client’s sponsored
infographic about the history of lipstick.)
3) You promote the sponsored message by re-Tweeting it and posting it on
your blog or other social sites. You have the right to decline promoting
any content.
4) We pay you for each promotion via PayPal.
--You Don’t Have to Write Biased Reviews—
We believe in transparency. We know how valuable your trust level is with
your readers.
We DO NOT ask bloggers to write a biased review about a movie, product or
company. We want you and your readers to make up your own minds about the
sponsored message.
We pay bloggers and tweeters to simply pass the message along to their
audiences. For example, you’ll get paid for a quick "Check it Out" Tweet
with a link to the content and you’ll also get paid for a short blog post
about the message or product itself.
We follow full disclosure regulations according to WOMMA
(http://womma.org/ethics/disclosure/) and the FTC. We find that audiences
respond positively to sponsored messages as long as they are interesting
and it’s clear that the message has been sponsored.
--What Will I Be Promoting?—
According to non-disclosure agreements with our clients, we can't share
specific client campaigns, but in general, the campaigns are sponsored
infographics (visualized information), such as the content that makes it
to the front pages of Digg and Mixx.
A sponsored message can also be funny/experimental videos that have a
client logo somewhere in the video or an article about the company’s
latest product.
--OK, What’s Next?--
There are a few simple steps to sign up.
It’s important to fill our your full Bambera profile (like adding in all
of your blog address(es) and your Twitter/Facebook handles), so you can be
paid for each social network you have.
Once you’re signed up, we send you “assignments” and you promote them on
your blog and through your social media profiles. After each promotion,
you’ll be paid via PayPal.
--The Real Deal—
Our clients include an independent cinema archive, a global furniture
manufacturer, a high-performance car brand, a leading mobile device
manufacture, and a top technology developer, among others.
This isn’t going to make your rich overnight, but it is a chance to make
some extra income.
Being part of Bambera can also increase your traffic, create more inbound
links to your site, and increase your readership and social media
following.
We hope to hear from you soon! You can e-mail or Skype me if you have any
questions about Bambera or the sign up process.
Kind regards,
