SHOW NOTES

 

KEY IDEAS:

ADVICE FROM HEATHER:

PERSISTENCE: Heather urges you not to give up, even after several editors have rejected your idea.  She states that just because an editor has rejected your idea does not mean that it is without value.

KNOW YOUR SUBJECT: Heather states that if you are going to write professionally about a topic you become more successful and credible if it is something you are familiar with.  So, pick something that you are interested in and know about.

HEATHER'S PERSONAL HABIT THAT IS CONTRIBUTING TO HER SUCCESS:

PRIORITIZE: Heather is an early riser.  This enables to get a lot of work done writing before the day begins.  She urges you to find what time of day works best for you and make writing a priority, every day.

OFI 006: Jennifer Warthan | Professional Photography | Farm Photography | Photography Courses | Internet Marketing

SHOW NOTES:

Here is one of Jennifer's wonderful farm photos:

KEY IDEAS:

Get Started In Photography

Work for free!  Jennifer started out by taking photographs to develop her skill, but she turned the photographs of the children she was providing daycare for into high quality photograph disks for their parents, and her reputation grew.

 

Post photographs to Facebook and link to the people in the photos.  This way all of the friends of the people tagged in the photographs see them on their friend's wall.  Then they want the same thing done for them.
