I\’m hoping John will answer this, but if anyone else can, that\’s great too.
I listened to the scuttlebutt session \”The Life Changing Secrets of Simply Focusing\” and at some point John mentioned he does a marketing meditation, but never went beyond mentioning it in passing.As a long time meditation geek, I\’ve gotta know how this is done?

Sorry, I have no idea what I was referencing there. I can guess, though — the process of figuring out hooks and sales angles involves stuffing your brain with research and info, and then “getting cold on it” by ignoring it for a while. Sometimes an hour, sometimes a day or two.
However, your brain is working on sorting it all out as you do somet…Read more

Wow, I can’t believe you answered so fast.

Do you think you could create an info product on the inner game of musicians?
Your take on the creation of music, how to express yourself through music etc.
Sounds like you have a lot of insight on this.
Back in the day I quit playing guitar, because it didn’t feel like playing at all, more like a chore.
I know manual skill and rote practice are…Read more -
Hi Richard: I think Isak has a good idea there. Something on how to stay motivated and keep practicing when you really don’t feel like it.
Also, I’d like to suggest that when you have given it some thought and outlined a path you may want to take, and some products that you think would be of interest to your market, that you apply for a hot…Read more

Dear fellow copywriter,
My name is Andrei Crudu and I am a software developer with dreams to escape the coding rat race and move onto running my own software as a service – SAAS – business.
Between coding and marketing, my life is plentiful with joy and happiness and never a dull moment (my 4 year old daughter also helps a lot with this and…Read more

Hi Andrei:
You need to give some more specific info about yourself and what you do.
What type of software do you create? Who would be your target market?

If you have done it, please post your three…Read more

I figured I’d mention John Sonmez from Simple Programmer.
Not a programmer myself, but he has courses and very specific knowledge on how to market yourself as a developer.
