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

Tom's SpeedLink #4

DateTuesday, July 21, 2009 at 08:11AM

Time for a little speedlinking...

1. An Incomplete Manifesto For Growth
I love reading and bookmarking inspiring manifestos. Design guru Bruce Mau's manifesto is one of my favorites. Print it out and put it on your fridge. :)

2. Cluetrain Manifesto
Speaking of manifestos, the Cluetrain Manifesto 10th Anniversary Editon is now available. First published in 1999, the manifesto "proclaimed an end of business as usual." If you don't want to read the whole book (somthing to reconsider!), check out the 95 Theses that frame the book's context. You can also read the entire Cluetrain Manifesto online.

3. Chris Brogan's "Best Of" Articles
A brilliant collection for anyone wishing to seek new ways to push their on-line presence to new levels. You're following, Chris, right?

4. "Dalai Lama Renaissance" Documentary
I haven't seen this yet but, hmmm...looks really interesting.

5. The National Film Board of Canada on YouTube
Being a fan of NFB's blog and films, I recently discovered their YouTube channel. There's tons of documentaries to keep you busy for quite a while.

6. "A Clearer Picture of 'What's at Stake?' in Job-Search Stories"
Kathy Hansen writes about my asking favorite question of all time, "What's at Stake?" and using it to drive stories during job interviews. I learned about the power of as "what's at stake?" in almost 20 years ago taking a "Director's Master Class" with Hollywood director Peter Werner. Almost every interview I ask my guest this critical question: the answers are always amazing! Kathy applies the question to job seekers- great stuff!
