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).”

My One Question to Ralph Nader

DateSaturday, March 24, 2007 at 08:20PM

Just got back from Ralph Nader's new book signing. Talk about changing the world. You can thank his parents for that little trick.

His new book is called, "The Seventeen Traditions" and in it he shares how his character reflects the traditions he absorbed as a youngster from his parents, siblings and the people in his community.

One hour later, I'm hooked. I'm ready to change the world with him. Ralph's passion, dedication and commitment for one individual to change the world is contagious, if not downright outrageous.

After he signed my book, we stared into each other's eyes and I asked him this one question: "Which traditions of yours would you like every organization to voice, demonstrate and embrace in their corporate video?" Here's what he said:

1. The Tradition of Charity. The responsibility of businesses to give to those in need.
2. The Tradition of Business. The importance of relationships and character.
3. The Tradition of Patriotism. Use your rights or loose them.

Guess I have some new new traditions to use in future videos.

P.S. Ralph's new documentary, "An Unreasonable Man," is premiering in one week in Hartford, CT. I'll be there.

I clicked over to read the chapter headings and a warm feeling of nostalgia swept over me. Traditions are lacking today and given Nader's compassion for people and the quest to be a fair advocate, I hope people open their minds and hearts to his book.
