Author: Caroline Jalango CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE It's true, we were all taught in school to express ourselves differently on paper, than the way we speak. To follow rules of grammar, and inject an artificial air of formality. Forgetting about this training when you write web copy is one of the best thing you can possibly do, unless you’re selling to the academic community. And forgetting about it may not be as easy as you think. Do you write like you’re speaking to a friend across the table? Maybe even use a little slang, now & then? ...

Author: Thomas Cutler CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE Before the Internet, small business owners like yourself were usually limited to a local market -resorting to expensive advertising and brochures, direct mail, cold-calling, networking at the local Chamber of Commerce or Rotary.

The Voice-Over Revolution The Internet is revolutionizing the voice-over business. Today quality remote recording of voiceovers can be done virtually anywhere.
