E-Book Testimonials

"Thomas Clifford has made something useful here. This report will give you some really catchy, useful ideas.

It made me reconsider how I do what I do, so you might give it a look-see, too!" 

Chris Brogan, President, Human Business Works 

"Tom Clifford is by trade a filmmaker. For most of his life, he rarely wrote anything longer than a brief comment in the margin of a script. 

Now, though, he's producing tens of thousands of words a year, first as a Fast Company "Expert Blogger," and then as a writer for the Content Marketing Institute. 

How did Tom go from a non-writer to a prolific and much-read one? His eBook, '5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways . . . , ' holds some of his secrets."

Mark Levy, Author of "Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content"

“Tom is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet—if you have the privilege to meet him. And he does sterling work as well. But don’t just take my word for it.

Read this free report and you’ll not just love its tone and content, but learn a lot as well.”

Sean D’Souza, Psychotactics.com

“Anyone who wants to improve their writing needs this e-book. A lot of ebooks are short because they just don’t have much substance to offer. They’re not worth your time (and so are many of the long ones, too, for that matter). Tom’s is short because he’s so good at giving you only what you need to know. 

‘5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways to Write Faster, Better, Easier’ lives up to its promise by example as well as in the words themselves. Tom used the very same techniques he teaches you to write this book. 

And what’s in here is not just a rehash of the same tired ideas you find coming from people who have suddenly fancied themselves as writing gurus. There are tricks in here I never heard of (like the Writing Funnel) and some I had forgotten about and was glad to be reminded of (like Sporadic Writing).”

I'm Seeking New Employment Opportunities with My Amazing Network

DateTuesday, March 24, 2009 at 06:51AM

"It is in changing that things find purpose."
-Heraclitus

And a new change is upon me driving my own purpose to new levels.

Now that I'm unemployed and seeking new employment opportunities, I am totally knocked out and overwhelmed by the support, love, help and kindness so many people have shown me.

This weekend, I shared my "social media marketing campaign" to find new employment opportunities with my friend Judy Martin. After hearing it, Judy got inspired to write about my plan so others could benefit from it.

So Judy wrote this very cool piece about how I'll use my network to find employment opportunities. Thanks, Judy! :)

I also created this special page for potential employers to see if we are a fit. Feel free to share this page with your network.

A client and great friend, John Koetsier, also wrote a cool riff about how I'm using social media/networking to land my next job.

Between my "real life" network, Twitter and LinkedIn, I'm in great hands with so many fine folks.

How do I keep track of all the people I meet and plan my next steps? JibberJobber, of course! What an awesome system. And I'm incredibly fortunate to have Jason Alba, the man behind JibberJobber, as a good friend in my network.

Wow! I can't say "thank you" enough to everyone helping and sending well-wishes!

It's only been four days but doors are opening quicker than I ever imagined!

I just want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for continuing to be part of this very special community. I'm always getting lots of neat emails that keep my fire going. I hope I fuel your fire as well.

Y'all rock. :)

---Tom

Tom--

Great website and overall job search strategy!

I was also downsized and have been following a similar strategy as well , using linkedin, twitter and I started blogging. I'm not as connected as you and social media is new to me, so it was re-assuring to see what you are doing and that I am on the right track!

Good luck in your search---I think you will land somewhere soon!
