Tiffany Dow - My Thanks To You

November 11, 2008

Here’s a post for the “My Thanks To You” category.  Because sometimes thanking someone privately isn’t enough.

To those of you who might not know Tiffany Dow, she is a PLR article writer and the Squidoo Queen.  She is also a ghostwriter and used to write for some big-name gurus before becoming a successful internet marketer herself.  She’s also well known on the Warrior Forum where she helps people and is not afraid to ask questions when she wants to know something.

When I first started with internet marketing I had the idea to write an ebook called Look After Your List.  Well… I wasn’t going to write it so much as interview people.  One of the people I got ahold of was Tiff and she not only gave me, an unknown, the time of day but she gave me some great material to put in the ebook.

Everytime I have emailed her with a question or suggestion, in true Tiff fashion she responds quickly and efficiently.  It’s nice to be heard.

More recently, Tiffany posted a 30 Article Writing Challenge on the Warrior Forum and even though I didn’t think I was very successful, I co-won with a fellow warrior.  I guess I won on effort and attitude; it certainly wasn’t on the most sales made!  Tiffany was more than generous with the prizes:

5 ghostwritten articles
$100 worth of PLR from her PLRminimart (I felt like a kid in a candy store)
$50 cash in PayPal
custom made Squidoo lens
custom made Hub Page

Wow.  More than generous, wouldn’t you say?

I’m sure she knows how much these prizes will indirectly increase my internet marketing earnings, but she probably doesn’t know how much I learned about the subtleties of article marketing from joining the 30 day challenge.

Things I’ve learned from Tiffany Dow:
  *  Grab the bull by the horns and just get after it.
  *  Don’t worry about not looking perfect - ask what you need to know.
  *  Help others
  *  Ask your subscribers to give you feedback on your ideas.  Give them a say about which direction they want you to go with what you offer them.
  *  Produce, produce, produce!

So my thanks to you Tiff!

Thanks To Randy Smith

July 25, 2008

Sometimes just saying thank you to a person isn’t enough.

So… I’ve come up with a plan to make my thank you’s public here on the blog under the category “My Thanks to You“, and I’ll post these now and again.

Dear Randy Smith,
www.randolfsmith.com

When I was brand-spanking new to internet marketing I reached out to you with a question.  Well, as I recall it was actually 3 or 4 questions disguised as 1.  You cheerfully answered those questions and offered even more information that answered questions I didn’t even know to ask yet.  Thank you.

I feel you offer me (and others) the right blend of honesty, insight, deep knowledge, humor, and especially encouragement.  Thank you.

You make me think about my internet marketing in ways I don’t want to.  “What Randy?  I should track my conversion rates for THAT?”  And will tell me if my sales page headline stinks.  “Boring, Peggy. That’s not going to capture people’s attention.”  Well, he did say it nicer than that.  But… thank you.

I appreciate that you’re a real person in this crazy internet marketing field who cares about others and it shows up in your site www.randolfsmith.com and your products www.salesletterabc.com and www.moremonthly.com, among others.   Thank you.

I don’t even remember how I “found” you Randy, but I’m sure glad I did!  You’ve been instrumental in making me a better marketer.

Thank you,

Peggy
