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

Video Storytelling for Business: My Latest Interview

DateWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 03:35PM

I had a fabulous and lively one-hour radio interview last night on "Blog Business Success" hosted by Wayne Hurlbert.

This was my second appearance on Wayne's show and I was thrilled to be asked back.

Wayne definitely asks interesting questions and they're usually from a customer's perspective, which I love. His questions are always challenging and thought-provoking. Wayne has the most amazing folks on his radio show so be sure to put him on your radar.

Here's the interview: Blog Talk Radio: Video Storytelling for Business

And here's the link to download the interview.

It's just over an hour so grab some tea, a scone and kick back. We covered lots of ground but here's a sampling of topics:

  • 4 steps a company should take before starting a video.
  • Why I call videos "video stories."
  • The journey from "Huh?" to "A-Ha!"
  • Is a director really needed in a company video?
  • Tips for a successful conversational interview.
  • The latest video trends organizations can tap into.

Bonus
Financial Times interviewed me last week and other producers for their article exploring how companies are using corporate documentaries. You need to register for free to access the article, "Good Enough for an Oscar."

As always, thanks for your attention; I know it's in short supply. :)

---Tom
