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).”

The Lazy Marketer's Way to Create Corporate Video Conversations

Hmmm...imagine the conversations your company could be creating with their corporate videos on YouTube.

Looks like a "no-brainer" to me. What are they waiting for?

Just imagine.

---Tom

P.S. Thanks to Lois Kelly over at Foghound and her new book for the idea.

P.S.S. Lois's book, "Beyond Buzz: The Next Generation of Word-of-Mouth Marketing," is simply amazing. Looking to create meaningful conversations with your customers? Look no further.

I guess it depends on the organisation, but I'm not convinced YouTube is a sensible place to post corporate videos - I certainly wouldn't expect any kind of meaningful dialogue or debate from YouTube - it's just not that kind of platform.

Hi Tom:
Videos are a huge untapped opportunity for companies -- with customers, employees,introducing new products to sales reps. Research has proven that emotion is the superhighway to understanding. And there's no better way to tap into that emotion than using video to connect with people. While blogs and podcasts have hogged the limelight lately, I think great videos are the killer app of our conversational communications world. The reason companies don't out more up on YouTube is that they simply don't have much in the way of video stories. Marketing and PR organizations will have to rethink their internal and external resources to incorporate this new "must have" into the budget.

Thanks for the book mention!
Lois

Maybe they're waiting for control! After all: put it on YouTube and who knows what happens?
But how about corporate video on profiles on sites like LinkedIn? Something I just did a post about on my own site: http://www.creatid.eu/node/40
