Becoming a Better Writer
Posted on July 28, 2009 | Filed Under Fun Stuff, Smart Business, WordPress
Well, in my case it would be becoming a writer. I have written marketing materials and website content in the past, but I was PAINFULLY slow. When I write things I feel I have to let them “ferment” before I can actually use them. I love to write, I love to tell stories, but I’m not the most comfortable person doing those things in front of people LOL.
So, I was reading blogs, and found this great post on one of my favorites: http://www.copyblogger.com/better-writer/. Reading this post made me feel better about my style (or what I always thought was a lack thereof) of writing. This has inspired me to finally get a hosting account for NolaCooper.com (which I’ve owned for years), and use it as a personal blog to just “play around” with. I’ll be spending my spare time creating a custom magazine style theme for the new site, and setting it up in WordPress very soon. I’m already excited!

The Completion of a Start…
Posted on May 11, 2009 | Filed Under Business Image, Print Media, WordPress
What? I know that’s what you’re saying when you read the title of this post, right? The reason I called it that is because this project will be ongoing, and I love that. The recently launched Matrix Medical Jobs project, has not only been the biggest I’ve been involved in so far in my career, it’s also been the most fun, as well as providing a highly valuable learning experience.
The project involved designing a main site, and then 48 “branch” sites within. Each of those sites is located on a sub-domain, and 10 of them have completely different designs, then color changes within those 10 “categories”. Also, 11 Wordpress Blog themes to match the main site and 10 of the “branch” sites. While challenging, it has been a challenge I met with enthusiasm, because of the experience it provides!
Now that those sites have launched, we have been working on our print media for marketing. Business cards, sales sheets, presentation folders/sales packet, and more. It is very exciting. I’ve always loved the process of building an entire business image package, from Logo, to website, to print media.
There will be more sites added to this group in the future, and I look forward to a wonderful on-going relationship with this very talented group of people!

Show Your Gratitude
Posted on April 14, 2009 | Filed Under Business Image, Fun Stuff, Smart Business
A few years ago I worked with my friend Elizabeth Varian on a website for a wonderful lady named Lori Saitz. Lori’s incredible products were truly an amazing concept to me at the time, and I knew that she would be successful…not only because of the product, but also because of her attitude and professionalism.
Since that time her business HAS grown, and just recently – March 24, 2009 – one of her products (Zen Crunch) was featured on the Rachel Ray show as the “Snack of the Day”!
The absolute best part of Lori’s business-Zen Rabbit Cookies, is that it’s built around the concept of expressing Gratitude. No matter what you need to show your appreciation for, or to whom you need to show it, she’s got a product for you! It’s a great way to say “Thank you!” to your customers or clients! And don’t forget, next Wednesday is Admin Professionals Day…why not pop in over at Zen Rabbit and show your gratitude for all your VA does to help make your business successful?
