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

The "Starbucker" Meme

shotglass2.jpg

I've been tagged. By a shot glass, no less.

Terry Starbucker, over at Ramblings from a Glass Half Full, is kicking off an interesting "meme-metaphor." Terry poses these four questions:

1. How full is your glass?
2. What kind of glass is it?
3. What's in the glass?
4. Reasons for #1, #2, and #3

He'll collate the answers from everyone who participates and post a "meme-mosaic." Here's my "shot" at his questions:

1. How full is my glass? It's full!

2. What kind of glass? Easy...a tea glass.

3. What's in it? Chai tea, of course.

4. My reasons?

We can choose to drink tea mindfully or not. It's the same thing with our life. We can choose to create, or "drink," our life...consciously or unconsciously.

If we choose to create our lives consciously, then our experiences become wonderfully "tasteful" like chai tea; rich and spicy; full of zip and zest!

And the tea glass? That's like our mind. Our mind is the "container" which holds our "chai" tea experiences together.

I now pass the "glass" invitation to:

Can Corporate Videos Change a Life?

Robert Hruzek over at Middle Zone Musings thinks so.

After exchanging dozens of emails, we finally met this past weekend at SOBCon07 in Chicago. We talked about the power of remarkable corporate videos and changing lives. I guess he liked this story the best.

Thanks, Robert, for sharing.

3 Reasons Why I'm Going to SOBCon07

logo.jpg

1. To say "THANKS!"

So many people gave selflessly of their time helping me create an engaging and successful blog about remarkable corporate videos...at times, I was overwhelmed by their generosity.

Blazing through the 2.0 world without them by my side would have been painful. I want to shake their hands, look them in the eye and say, "Thank you for helping me when I needed it."

2. To SHARE.

If I can continue the cycle of helping people find their "voice" through blogging...I'll be there to help.

3. To LEARN.

The pioneers and pathfinders of "conversational marketing" will be there...helping me and everyone else get to their "next level."

And around and around it goes...

---Tom
