What Does Generation X Want?

Are you a Generation Xer? Read my article for Homes.com entitled Magnet States for Generation Xers “If you are roughly between 35 and 49 years old, there are reasons your age group is on the move. Chances are you have a lot on your plate and want to live somewhere that addresses your needs. Not the outdated ones that said you were cynical, MTV-loving, latchkey kids. No, the new you.

Hot Olde Kensington

Olde Kensington, Philadelphia

Much heart went into writing this piece on Olde Kensington, Philly for Homes.com. Read a synopsis below, then check out the full article here. “If you are looking for that start-up vibe, Olde Kensington is one of Philadelphia’s neighborhoods that is slowly getting a facelift. Tucked away between Northern Liberties (north) and Fishtown (west), this distinct section of Kensington is going from warehouse to coffee house and condo. With other

Writing as a Sales Tool

Writing as a sales tool I consider writing to be a sales tool I believe that any good salesperson has to identify two things: Audience Product How Do You Use Writing as a Sales Tool? I know people think of writing as a creative project, but writing as a sales tool? It is different. Speaking from my own experience, when I write poems and stories, or even personal blog posts,

The Editor -BFF or Foe?

Writer plus Editor I am really happy with a new piece I wrote, but think the chapeau goes off to the editor (and web design). A few tweeks were made with her keen eye. I know she would say she couldn’t have done it without the research and writing I did. But still. I like to play on a supportive team. As I have also worn the editor hat, I

What Content is on Your Site?

What Content is on your Website? I am very proud of my clients at Heads and Tails for realizing they need not only more, but better, content on their website. I hear you thinking, “it’s a lovely image” and “what’s wrong with that”? Yes, it is a lovely stylized photo and there is nothing amiss with a menu of services. Are Photos All the Content You Have?

Creative Writing: Can We Be Creative as Business Writers?

About Creative Writing Creative writing is pretty loosely described. We associate creative writing with narratives, character development, prose and poetry. And sometimes, flow. People ask me all the time “what kind of things do you write?” and I usually answer ‘business writing’ seeing as this is an accurate description of my work week. Or I will say something like, “writers, write” or “I’m versatile”. It seems like a cop out.

This Blog is About Me

This Blog is About Me I feel like this blog should have a soundtrack or at least a drumroll. That certainly sets the reader up with high hopes of fascinating content, perhaps a laugh or two, and maybe even a ‘top ten’ list. But seriously, the other day I got a quizzical look when I handed out my business card – Conscious Strategy? What is that? So today on the

SEO or Streaming ~ what is your writing style?

I recently attended the ICC where one of the best sessions I attended was about writing for SEO. This is what I do for my job so I admit, I have been less than diligent about posting on my own blog. So what is my motivation? I am reading a new book called “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing”. I’m not that far into

Functional Writing: Interviewing @Josepf

Functional Writing: An Interview With @Josepf Functional writing is a phrase I am using to describe the intersection between content generation and purposeful presence online.  I believe as writers, we need to have integrity in what we express; this comes across in our writing style or voice. The other component is the idea of practical and functional expression, if what we are doing is to be relevant in digital marketing. Interviewing Josepf Haslam

Optimized penmanship

Optimized Penmanship For Contemporary Readers Today was training day as I headed to downtown NYC to speak with a team of writers who are looking to optimize their penmanship to become relevant in google searches. As with many companies and organizations, they have a fairly meaty website with lots of content. Nonetheless, despite the abundance of blog posts, they are not showing up in searches as much as they hope to. What is Optimized
