E-Book Testimonials

"Thomas Clifford has made something useful here. This report will give you some really catchy, useful ideas.

It made me reconsider how I do what I do, so you might give it a look-see, too!" 

Chris Brogan, President, Human Business Works 

"Tom Clifford is by trade a filmmaker. For most of his life, he rarely wrote anything longer than a brief comment in the margin of a script. 

Now, though, he's producing tens of thousands of words a year, first as a Fast Company "Expert Blogger," and then as a writer for the Content Marketing Institute. 

How did Tom go from a non-writer to a prolific and much-read one? His eBook, '5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways . . . , ' holds some of his secrets."

Mark Levy, Author of "Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content"

“Tom is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet—if you have the privilege to meet him. And he does sterling work as well. But don’t just take my word for it.

Read this free report and you’ll not just love its tone and content, but learn a lot as well.”

Sean D’Souza, Psychotactics.com

“Anyone who wants to improve their writing needs this e-book. A lot of ebooks are short because they just don’t have much substance to offer. They’re not worth your time (and so are many of the long ones, too, for that matter). Tom’s is short because he’s so good at giving you only what you need to know. 

‘5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways to Write Faster, Better, Easier’ lives up to its promise by example as well as in the words themselves. Tom used the very same techniques he teaches you to write this book. 

And what’s in here is not just a rehash of the same tired ideas you find coming from people who have suddenly fancied themselves as writing gurus. There are tricks in here I never heard of (like the Writing Funnel) and some I had forgotten about and was glad to be reminded of (like Sporadic Writing).” 

Michael Martine, Blog Alchemist, Remarkablogger.com

We Shall Prevail!!

DateSunday, November 12, 2006 at 09:05PM
I'm new to the Mac. Bought two of them a year ago. Now I can say, "I finally get it." You know, the part about "changing the world".

For some odd reason, I stumbled upon this first Mac commercial from 1984. I'm not into commercials, being a documentary filmmaker. But this spot resonated with me. It's a great reminder to stay focused on transforming the world. Maybe it will say something to you?

Narration: "Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests purveying contradictory truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!"

Wow. Fantastic advert.

Yes, it is. It has a "2001: A Space Odyssey" feel to it. There's lots of metaphors, if that's your kind of thing.

I thought of the song "We don't need no education" By Pink Floyd and the video associated with that song. I felt a huge amount of similarity in the way the message was conveyed. Do you think that is the case.

While I'm fairly familiar with Pink Floyd's material, I'm far from being a fan with deep knowledge about their lyrics.

That said, and being a new Mac user, I can say that having a Mac is truly liberating...in so many ways. That was the intent, as I see it, of the commercial. Liberation from constraints.
