I can’t get to it everyday, but read everyone.  This is the first time I’ve responded.  You’re really great, and I like the way you have with words.  I save all you e-mails, so I can go back and review them as needed.

I’m 73, been in my own business since 35, sold it in 1994 to Aussies.  They’ve done good with it, but it could be better.  I’ve now started my internet business with Ann and who ever else I think I want to be associated with.

I’ve done a lot of writing in the past and enjoyed it.  This is the first time I’m looking at it as a profession. 

Who knows what the future will bring.  Only the shadow will tell, if we can find out who it is.

Love life with great joy,

Lucille Flint

Generally yes! Your emails land in my inbox, unfiltered like 99 percent of others I get. I schedule time to look at them at least once every 2 days: often the articles stay open in Firefox for just as long!

Rely on our RSS feed? Have you bookmarked the site and check in when you can?

No for RSS (rely on email). YES, bookmarked and I also announce the URL at entrepreneurial meetings and mastermind meetings I attend and online and in newsletters.

2. What do YOU want me to write about Monday?  I’ve got my own ideas, but I’m open to just about anything.

I love what you’ve been doing and love the practical info for copywriters (getting clients, partnering etc).

3. How long have you been reading The Total Package?

Since at least June 2006. Long before it went daily. And long before EWC started.

4. Are you a copywriter?  Business owner?  Marketing exec?

Copywriter and business owner.

Many many thanks as usual for your inspiring, practical and in-depth content!Cheers from Melbourne Australia, Dean

What do YOU want me to write about Monday?  I’ve got my own ideas, but I’m open to just about anything.More information about the 7 ways to make money from an account/client. 3. How long have you been reading The Total Package?Since November or December 4. Are you a copywriter?  Business owner?  Marketing exec?
I am a freelance copywriter owning my own marketing consulting firm.

I hope that helps.  Your information has been great and has helped a lot.

I am a subscriber.  Read your emails, don’t understand RSS feeds, and you’re not bookmarked.
2. What do YOU want me to write about Monday?  I’ve got my own ideas, but I’m open to just about anything.
Well, I’ve just admitted my ignorance on RSS feeds but also how can ‘pings’, ‘widgets’, and ‘plugins’ help us?  

3. How long have you been reading The Total Package?

Not certain but I’d guess close to a year.
4. Are you a copywriter?  Business owner?  Marketing exec? 

I’m paid for articles mostly, but am determined to make a go of copywriting.  I’ve completed AWAI and Bootcamp but just can’t seem to get my foot in the door without getting my toes broken.

1. How do you come to us?  I read your email every day and haven’t worried about RSS because I get the email.  I rarely go to the website unless I’m  buying something, which I have been doing. 2. What do YOU want me to write about Monday? How to find/determine your target market. The importance of narrowing your target market. 3. How long have you been reading The Total Package?  About a year I think.  Someone was commenting on copywriting on another forum and said there were only 3 copywriters worth following.  I forget who the others were. 4. Are you a copywriter?  Business owner?  Marketing exec?  I own a small business consulting practice targetting small business owners who have built their business on their trade/technical skills and know little about management, marketing and finance.  So I have to do my own copywriting (and would like to do more) and marketing, and advise my clients in all these areas.
