Melani Ward of Career Fitness

Membership: Red Hot Copywriting Gold Mentorship.

What I Do: I am a career coach, but am transitioning to making copywriting my primary business. I have been writing for as long as I can remember – I think it probably started with some adolescent poems full of angst but luckily has progressed to more academic writing and marketing copy.

Why I Joined Lorrie’s Mastermind Program: I joined this group because I want to surround myself with success. I know of Lorrie's success and know that part of it is due to the fact that she has made the choice to surround herself with people who will challenge her and keep her moving forward. Some of the most productive and successful times in my life have been when I was part of a team or part of a group keyed in on the same goal. I am expecting this will be the same.

My Ideal Client: My ideal client is in the health and fitness or coaching industry and wants to create copy that compels people to take action. This client may be struggling to tighten up their marketing message and as a result is not doing as well as they could be.

A Little About Me: I am a problem-solver and a motivator by nature and love brainstorming ideas with big thinkers and then figuring out a way to execute them. I am also the type of person who can get so busy learning and thinking that I put off implementing. I am working on it though. :~)

My Newest Project or Product: Just trying to figure out how to get up and running at this point.

Lynn Maria Thompson
Thompson Writing & Editing, Inc.

Membership: Sterling Inner Circle Mastermind and Red Hot Copywriting Bootcamp

What I Do: I help clients fix their broken marketing messages or craft new ones, ghostwrite books to help them build credibility and attract new clients, edit manuscripts for aspiring book authors, and teach others how to start and run successful writing businesses.

Why I Joined Lorrie’s Mastermind Program: I joined Lorrie's program because I owe it to my clients and to myself to keep my skills as sharp as possible.

My Ideal Client: Someone with a great story to tell who understands the value of powerful wordsmithing, but doesn’t quite have the skills to pull it off alone.

A Little About Me: I’ve been an avid reader, a natural writer and fiercely independent all my life. Writing was what helped me keep my sanity in the 23 years I spent as a “corporate slave”. Once the time came for me to part ways with the company, it was only natural that I start my own writing business. I wouldn’t go back for anything! While it’s not all smooth sailing, I enjoy the time flexibility, being in control of my own destiny, and working on a variety of projects to keep life interesting. Majoring in Marketing on the way to my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and working for the University of Florida President’s Office’s PR arm during my senior year gave me a solid foundation in business and communications writing. My tenure in corporate America reinforced and expanded those lessons. More than one of my clients have said, “Wow!” when they’ve seen the results.

My Newest Project or Product: After spending the better part of a year concentrating on one major client, I’m now getting back to working on my own series of e-books, “A Professional Writer’s Ladder to Success”, that will help others enjoy the kind of joy I have found in being a self-employed professional writer. I’m also collaborating with a longtime client on a second book under his name. This one will be about his life in his 20’s as a young tugboat captain in the Navy, and his friendship with an elderly lady who was quite a character!

Barrie Anderson

Membership: Sterling Inner Circle Mastermind.

What I Do: I work for a large bank in their business banking section.

Why I Joined Lorrie’s Mastermind Program: To improve my copy skills by learning clever insider stuff on special techniques and approaches to copy situations. Plus, get a different perspective on things from a female copywriter. I figure this is useful since women make the bulk of the household buying decisions and just shop more in general!!! I will be looking to apply the things I learn to my audio book store project which I talk about further down.

My Ideal Client: If I got to the level where I was able to take up copywriting as a serious career then I would enjoy using my skills to help improve the fortunes of other people who were struggling with driving sales in their business ventures.

A Little About Me: I studied to be a scientist after leaving school but found the job market in Scotland to be limited in many respects to turn this into something worthwhile so have had to resort to other means of making a better living. Been exploring the electronic jungle of internet marketing for over 2 years now and have made some good progress in getting to know the players. However, I can also see the tried and tested potential of copywriting and direct mail and don't want to get too dependent on technology for everything. I have picked up a few tips n tricks from other copywriters along the way so I'm not just starting from scratch.

My Newest Project or Product: I have been working on an audio book store website in my spare time. This is a solid business model with excellent content to build and expand on and I will be using it to test ideas and get first hand practical experience of marketing audio books for big name publishers. Once I get this thing firing on all cylinders, I will be looking for JV partners to promote titles in their niche! Plus if you are an independent publisher or just have your own interesting audio content it can be uploaded onto the system and “piggy backed” to reach an even wider audience. Neat stuff huh? So, if you would like to find out more about this project please send an email to info@thewiseowlaudiobooks.com for further details. Thanks

Heidi Tran

Membership: Sterling Inner Circle Mastermind.

What I Do: I'm a copywriter who helps people achieve radical results with words. One of my specialties is using the power of stories in marketing. I also work with non-native English speakers to help localize their writing to reach native-English-speaking audiences and markets.

Why I Joined Lorrie’s Mastermind Program: Many reasons! To continue building my writing and marketing skills and business. (“Greatly expand” sounds a little dramatic, but that's really what I want to do with them.) I have years of experience as a technical writer and instructional designer, but have developed toward copywriting because I love the more creative aspects of it. I'm looking forward to the interaction with Lorrie and the other like-minded folks here!

My Ideal Client: Absolutely my ideal client? A medium-size food or specialty company with a catalog, who needs package and catalog copy, as well as other top-notch marketing materials (web copy, sales letter, etc.) More generally? A medium-size business who understands the long-term value and importance of good, compelling copy, and who is willing to invest in it.

A Little About Me: Growing up in a family of Scrabble addicts, I blame this hereditary affliction, at least in part, for causing me to make the “irresponsible” choice of being a freelance copywriter instead of remaining a “responsible” corporate worker (“At least they'd give you benefits”). And now it seems I've passed this tendency toward wordsmithism on to my two daughters. Oh, dear…

Laura Lee Sparks of The Simple Solution

Membership: Sterling Inner Circle Mastermind.

What I Do: I rescue Professional Service Providers from the administrative chaos associated with marketing their business.

Why I Joined Lorrie’s Mastermind Program: I joined the Sterling Inner Circle Mastermind Program to connect with other solo entrepreneurs and share ideas, resources, and motivation. I would love to develop my own copy writing skills (not one of my strong points). Most importantly, I want to develop relationships with copywriters, as added resources for myself and clients.

My Ideal Client: Professional service providers who are ready to implement their marketing plan but want an expert to handle the administrative and management of the details.

A Little About Me: I've been doing administrative and paralegal work since I was 14 years old, and am a stickler for details and organization. After starting my own company in 2005 I discovered the world of informational marketing, applied it to my business and grew my Virtual Assistance business into a thriving practice. I enjoy networking with like minded professionals, sharing ideas, and resources. I am married to my best friend and am the mother of two teenagers.

Angela Wills of StarVA

Membership: Sterling Inner Circle Mastermind.

What I Do: I'm a Virtual Assistant who specializes in Internet Marketing. I love the internet and helping others achieve success in their online businesses. I would eventually like to have my own products and also to become well known as someone with great copywriting skills, and that's why I've joined the BEST place to learn copywriting from.

Why I Joined Lorrie’s Mastermind Program: I joined the group because I have heard about and followed Lorrie for a long time and I knew that once I decided that I wanted to really get serious about copywriting that Red Hot Copy was the place to go!

My Ideal Client: Someone who is looking for success in their online business without having to sacrifice all their time and freedom to get there, someone who realizes they can't do everything and to avoid burnout and their sanity they need to outsource.

A Little About Me: The first time I got on the internet I found a chat forum, and I didn't leave until the wee hours of the morning. It was then that I realized the power of the internet and from then on I was addicted. Once I learned how to make websites I started thinking of online businesses. I stuggled for a long time to make an income online until I started my Virtual Assistance business, which was a perfect match for me and the skills I had developed over years of exploring different businesses.

My Newest Project or Product: I will be starting an Internet Marketing podcast within the next month or two (it's July 2007 right now) and I would love for you to listen in. Just visit my main site and they'll be a link there once it's up.
