Wayne and Blake – Thanks for the kind notes. Isn’t it funny?… for years I kept repeating the pattern of embarking on searches for NEW tips for success (in its many forms, not just successful writing) but then I came to realize that it’s tough to make real progress without a solid grasp of the basics. I’ve also found that I rediscover basics every day – real gems of knowledge that I’ve come across before, but that are being crystallized for me in new ways in the books, blogs and people I seek to learn from. Cheers!

Wayne and Blake – Thanks for your comments. I agree that going back to basics is always a good thing. I have a few books on my shelf that I continually go back to when I feel I’ve gotten lost in the details. They serve as a much-needed compass in the marketing jungle.

Thanks for taking the time to share this. A lot of your insights on the simple points you make are things I’ve been trying to get into my thick head for some time. Thanks again!

It is always good to hear the basics reiterated. I think of Jack Canfield and his principle of Ask, Ask, Ask. For freelancers ask for intros, for contacts, for referrals, and for more business. I fear I seldom ask as much as I should.
