    Unsecured Loans - The People's Loan
    Unsecured loans are doubtless the most popular loan in the UK. Recent trends suggest that secured loans are gaining swift ascendancy in the loan market. However, that still does not negate the impact of unsecured loans.Unsecured loans do not require the borrower to put any collateral as security in order to avail the loan amount. Here, the borrower does not face the risk of losing his collateral, in case of an inadvertent default. The court option can still be exercised by the lender, but that may take a l

    Today I am having a rant inside of my own head. Woo hoo, the copywriter is losing it again! Maybe.

    Maybe not, though. I like to think that these internal mini earthquakes I have are the root to a more productive mindset. Are you a copywriter, too? Then you probably share my angst. Let's work this one out together.

    Here it is. I have the pleasure of chatting with many marketers who go through the swinging door of my freelance business. I've come to the conclusion that they either get it, or they don't. Meaning, they get my drift, my style, my meaning. And if they don't get it, all the articles and advertising concept pitches in the world aren't going to make them see it my way.

    I will give you an example of people "not getting it." Maybe you can relate.

    E-book Security Anxiety
    You are not alone. Tons of people are nervous that their e-book will be stolen and put on the black market (hmm, or the cyber black market, I guess you’d call it). Now, stealing is never right or fair, but in this case theft means one good thing, at least they have heard of you! Cyber thieves or not, they know your name and think your knowledge is coveted enough to steal (again, I do not condone this, but there is always a bright side, right?)There are a few measures you can take to safe-guard your work fr

    You CAN Make Money From Home, An Online Business That Works
    Whoever said "It's a jungle out there" must have been referring to internet marketing! If you have been searching for a way to make money online you know exactly what I mean. You have landed on the sleek "no-info-all-hype" sales pages that promise big cash fast and a lot of useless free downloads if you "buy now" ("Capture pages" to use the IM lingo). You've signed up for the free news letters that promise useful information but only deliver sales pitches – daily or weekly. If you are like I was, you might have b

And the best way to do this is through a carefully planned business-marketing program. Here is what you have to do.1. Do it your self.

Seems the Vitamin Water people are drinking that stuff to purify their dirty little souls. Go there, you'll see what I mean.

    So this client of mine then occupies most of my New Year's week with his grandiose plan for the copy overhaul. I give him a little edge, but tone it down because the Vitamin Water site is a bit much for what he sells.

    Guess what happens? He cuts our contract short and then takes his site down for "the big relaunch" doing whatever he did after we parted ways. After SIX MONTHS, he then puts up a new version of his website that's NEARLY IDENTICAL to the old one!

    That dude did not get it. He loved someone else's bawdy concept, but failed to realize it wasn't what HE wanted for his own business. And then he had some kind of freakout I guess, and decided to go "back in the box." The guy spent six months of his time and hard-earned money to figure out he didn't really want to do w
