=>Free ebooks, video tutorials and much more on Pro Write!

http://www.prowrite.biz/

Hi everyone

Hope you're keeping busy writing, writing, writing -- and
building your creative small business. :-)

Read on to learn about:

=> Fr*e writing manuals on Pro Write

=> Our video writing tutorials

=> Our Digital-e site makeover; a DE's new FAQ



Exciting times on Pro Write. This month and next month, Pro Write
is giving members a free ebook writing manual as part of their
Pro Write membership.

This month, members can download Tell, Yell and Sell: Marketing
Skills for Writers, and next month, enjoy Writing to Sell in the
Internet Age: the ebook; both manuals are completely free for
members.

Tell, Yell and Sell: Marketing Skills for Writers shows you how
to market your writing like a pro.

http://www.digital-e.biz/ebook_marketing_skills.html

Writing to Sell in the Internet Age: the ebook helps you to
discover how to develop an UNLIMITED writing income in the new
global marketplace.

http://www.digital-e.biz/ebook_internet_age.html

Each book is yours, completely free to download and keep, exactly
as sold on our Digital-e site. Enjoy. :-)

Birgitt and I have wonderful things planned for you this year,
like video writing tutorials, and much more.


=> Coming soon: video tutorials!

We hope that the ebooks keep you busy writing while we develop
our video writing tutorials. :-)

The tutorials will be free, exciting how-to videos which show you
exactly how to put the writing skills we discuss on Pro Write to
work.

I've long been aware that we have writers at different stages
signing up for PW. We've got beginning writers, intermediate
writers who are publishing and selling and want to sell more, and
professional writers who are looking for new writing venues in
which to spread their wings.

I know that when I write a tutorial, it has to appeal to
everyone, and a 5,000 word workshop is NOT enough to inspire,
motivate and guide a beginning or intermediate writer to success.

The videos will be a way in which I can explain exactly HOW you
approach an editor, HOW you interview someone, and HOW you work
through different drafts. We can also explore all the techniques
which professional writers use to make life easier -- on video.

With both audio and video to guide you, you'll make a roaring
success of your writing career. Why video? Because when you can
see something done, it becomes simple to do it yourself.

We know that you'll find the tutorials powerfully effective in
moving your writing career towards more success - and profit.

Watch for them.

Additionally, Birgitt and Paul are working hard on a complete
Digital-e revamp. We thought we should include the site's FAQ in
this mailing. We get a lot of enquiries on how things work on
DE.:-)


=> Digital-e Frequently Asked Questions by Birgitt Thursby

>>> General

Q: How do I order/receive my ebook?

A: All our ebooks are in PDF format and zipped to help reduce the
file size.
Once you have selected your ebook and clicked on the payment
button, you will be taken to a page where you fill in your
contact details. To finalise your purchase, click on the button
to be taken to the PayPal secure site to authorise payment. You
will then be taken to a download page where you can download your
ebook.

You will need WinZip to unzip your ebook and Acrobat Reader to
view/print it.



Q: I had a problem with downloading my ebook. What can I do?

A: Email Birgitt and she will help you.



Q: What if I don't have a PayPal account? How can I pay?

A: Simply contact Birgitt to organise an alternative payment
option.



Q: Are all prices in US dollars?

A: Yes.



Q: I didn't receive one of lessons in the free mini-course. Can I
still get a copy?

A: Yes. Email Birgitt and let her know which lesson you didn't
receive.
She'll resend it to you.



Q: I tried to sign up for a newsletter and my email address was
rejected.
What can I do?

A: Try going to
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Creative_Small_Biz/
which is the Yahoo! page for CSB and request that you be added to
the list.
If you're not already a Yahoo! member, you will need to sign up
first.




Q: I have tried to enrol to the 3-Day Email Copywriting Mini
Course and have yet to receive a reply. How long should it take
for the first lesson to arrive?

A: Your first lesson should arrive almost immediately. If it
doesn't arrive after a reasonable length of time, email Birgitt -
she'll resend it to you.



>>> Signing up for ecourses

Q: Why do a Digital-e course?

A: All course materials are written by Angela, based on her
experience as a
25+ year writing veteran - what works and what doesn't. She runs
her own
successful copywriting business, writes for magazines and is a
published author.

She helps her students with the view of getting them setup in
their own successful writing careers.


Q: The material says it will help build my portfolio. Can such a
portfolio be used to show potential clients if they ask "what
kind of work do you or did you produce...?"

A: Yes!


Q: Can you provide email addresses for students who have done
courses so I can ask them what they thought of the course?

A: No, we will not provide email address of students or
subscribers to anyone for any reason, as per our privacy policy.

You can read some testimonials on the Digital-e website. In those
testimonials with either email or web site addresses, the student
(or subscriber) has given their permission for these to be
included. Whether or not they would be willing to reply to your
emails would be entirely up to them.


Q: Where do I send my course exercises?

A: You send your course exercises to Angela, in the body of an
email (no attachments please :-). You get feedback with each
lesson, and can contact Angela at any time, right throughout the
course.


Q: When do courses start and how long do I have to complete the
course?

A: There's no set "schedule". The course starts when you signup
and finishes when you complete the last exercise. You can take as
long as you need to complete the course. Angela is always
available to you.


>>> Pro Write

Q: Can membership in Pro Write guide an unpublished "newbie" to
specific topics and publications to write for?

A: No, not "specific" topics or publications - every writer is
unique and will have their own areas of interest and/or
expertise. But, you will get the help you need to develop your
writing skills, how to find a market for your writing and how to
market it. Including how to best communicate with editors ;-)

There is a wealth of information on the site - if you can't find
answers to your questions there, Angela is more than happy answer
them personally - all you need to do is ask :-)

Information in these four workshops alone could help you develop
your writing business enormously:

Workshop One - Sell To Magazines TODAY
Workshop Four - Write and Sell Shorties - mini essays and
articles, product reviews and more Workshop Five - Selling What
You Write: Marketing and Promotion for Writers Workshop Nine -
Become a Better, Higher-selling Writer

All the workshops stay online and forums are set up to post your
questions and Angela will reply.

Pro Write membership is definitely interactive - you're not
alone! As a published author and a working copywriter with over
25 years experience, Angela wants to share her experience :-)


Have a brilliant week, keep writing and working creatively -- and
most of all, HAVE FUN.

All best wishes

Angela
