My Great Twitter Offer (A bit of an experiment)

2009-01-20T08:28:00.001-08:00

For Twitter Members only:

10 articles (300+ words) for just $50 total!

Or

10 articles (450+ words) for just $80 total!

(Just email me: chaiwriter[at]gmail.com)

Here's why:

I just started using this new Social Networking site called "Twitter." It's a site that allows you to post little blurbs about what you're doing and it allows you to see what other people are doing too. It's really cool.

To be honest, I started using the site because I wanted to promote my writing services. I've heard some people brag that their business has really boomed thanks to Twitter.

I have no doubt that these people are telling the truth. But I've yet to realize any boost yet. Though I have to admit, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to marketing myself and my writing. In fact, I'm absolutely clueless. I'm a writer not a salesman. What can I say?

But, I'm going to try something. (And since you're reading this it might just be working!)

I'm going to offer a special for Twitter users only. I'm going to make an offer no Internet Marketer can refuse.

Here it is:

For any Twitter user I will write:

10 articles (300+ words) for just $50 total!

Or

10 articles (450+ words) for just $80 total!

Now, I am limiting this to 7 takers (and I'll write 10 articles a day so everyone will have their articles inside of a week), or I'll close this in 24 hours... so this will end at 12 pm EST on 1/21. So hurry and take advantage of this (and make me feel really good about Twitter!).

Let's see which comes first.

To take advantage of my writing, simply email me at chaiwriter[at]gmail.com.

I hope to hear from you!

(I hope that this works...)

I'm a Ghost Writer (Gasp!)

2009-01-17T17:21:00.000-08:00

Recently I went in to see my accountant and had to wait to see him and I got to talking to his secretary. She's a very nice lady. I got to hear all about how her sister is a nurse in Denver and her hubby is an insurance agent (very successful) and her dog just got back from the vet (something about an infected tooth or something).

I actually really liked hearing all the stories because their magazines sucked and I hate sitting quietly while I wait. It's just too uncomfortable.

So anyway, at some point I guess the nice lady realized she was talking too much and she started asking me questions.

You know, ordinary stuff like:

"So have you every been to a house that was really haunted?"

"What's the scariest ghost story you know?"

"Do you know if people really try to communicate with us from the afterlife?"

Now, I'm as happy to talk about ghosts as the next person. I like to watch Ghost Hunters and have been known to watch Ghost Hunters International too.

But I started to feel a little strange after a while. I mean, I knew the NY winters weren't kind to my coloring (neither is my Irish heritage) but I didn't think I looked that bad.

Still, I answered the questions... and then came the question that cleared it all up for me:

"So do you go all around the world writing about ghosts, or just the US, or the state?"

Ghosts. Writing.

Ghostwriting!

I got it. She thought I was a writer about ghosts.

Now, this is my accountant. Chances are I would be in this same position again. And I didn't want this awkward moment to happen again. So I had to tell her the truth.

I mean, I thought about not telling her and continuing to be one of the coolest clients. I thought about dressing all in black next time and acting all mysterious. But I thought it would be best to simply tell her the truth.

I don't write about ghosts. I write for other people. I write it, they put their name on it.

Man, the look of disappointment on her face. The poor lady!

But at least her dog was home from the vet and her hubby still had a good job and her sister was still doing the nursing thing in Denver.

Well, at least I think her sister was a nurse in Denver. Maybe she had recently had a baby and was nursing. I may have been mistaken... or maybe she was.

Having a Bad Day

You know you're having a bad day when you start a blog and the security word your asked to enter is "suffer." Wow, never had that one before.

How appropriate.

Anyway, I have a few blogs up and running. But they are sports related and all mostly for clients. I figured I would start my own blog, if for no other reason than to keep track of what the hell is happening in my life.

Today is not a good day... but hopefully it will get better.

Anyway, I am a freelance writer / ghost writer. And if you're reading this, and you are into Internet Marketing, please let me offer you a little reward just for reading:

Simply shoot me an email chaiwriter@gmail.com and let me know you were here and I will write a report or eBook for you for just $5 a page (double spaced, Verdana).

So, there you go.

Now, before I go, I will let you know that I'm a dad of 2 living in NY. I am married to an LPN who is currently in school to become an RN.

I'm sure you'll learn a lot more about me as I write more blogs so I'll leave it at that for now.

Until we meet again...
