The Info-Marketers Most Precious Asset... Daniel Levis

A Confession of an Ol’timer Blogger.

My confession, , , I promote, blog about and produce visual material for people I like. Pure and simple!

The two gentleman whose work I am featuring in today’s quotation slideshow, Clayton Makepeace and his feature writer, Daniel Levis are at the top of my list on the subject of online marketing and advertising copywriting.

Levis posted this article, The Info-Marketer’s Most Precious Business Asset … on Clayton’s blog, MakepeaceTotalPackage.com .

So I have created a slideshow with quotations from that excellent article. Enjoy, , ,

Makepeace Graphic Design 101, Clayton Makepeace

Recently, I’ve been writing about the new profession of Information Designer. (And, you are one of them, if your speak, present or in any way offer information to any kind of an audience.)
In this profession, you deal with words and images! And you add much focused effort to insure that those words and images have the greatest positive effect on your audiences.

And, in this profession, formatting is a big deal. Well-formatted material can vastly improve the effectiveness of your message.

If formatting information is new to you, there is one best place to learn the most, the quickest. It’s Clayton Makepeaces’ blog post entitled Direct Marketing Graphic Design 101 .

Print it out and three-hole punch it and put it in your Secret Hot Ideas Notebook.

(You do have one, don’t you?)

To help you see the very practical things you’ll learn, I have created a quotation slideshow. Enjoy it and learn from it, , , and watch it often. And tell people about it.

P.S. Though Clayton is a “back-east-er” to me, I have set his quotations over morguefile.com images of (southwestern) cactus. I did so for a particular reason. To allow you to learn a couple of things about me.

As you watch and re-watch this slideshow, pay close attention to the landscape in the first three slides.

This environment has made a unique contribution to my life and who I am as a person, , , and I’ll post the story in a few days.

My Shocking Confession, Clayton Makepeace

Most public speakers and presenters will not recognize the name, Clayton Makepeace. You should. He is a writer, extraordinaire. And nearly everything he writes in his blog, has tremendous value in about anything you do up front, creating your information products or promoting your programs, in general.

He can also be quite entertaining to read. Such is the article, "My Shocking Confession," from which I am taking the quotations for today's slideshow.

(Also he maintains an incredible group of guest writers who are also world-class marketers and writers.)

Check out Claytons blog and enjoy (and put to use) all his fine material.

Success Quotations for 2010 and Beyond

If you've been reading this blog for some time, you know that I'm just another slow learning, old guy, , , who wants to do good things. Finally I've pulled the pieces together to do a slideshow something like I wanted to do.
If you like this, there will be more coming.
I have two visions for this flashed based slideshow. One, for "book review" quotations and the other is for "hooked up" Method Map Models. (Sort of like the static ones I've already produce.)
