Confessions of a Biz-Opp Junkie

by Ryan M. Healy on May 16, 2013

Back in my early twenties, I was a rabid buyer of business opportunity products. Although I didn’t know it at the time, I was what the industry calls a “hyper responder.”

I bought all kinds of different info-products that taught different methods of making money. If the idea appealed to me… and the premise for making money seemed reasonable… I wanted to learn about it.

Here are just a few of the “crazy” opportunities I bought into…

Copywriter Tries to Make a YouTube Video

by Ryan M. Healy on May 14, 2013

So I’ve decided to finally start using my YouTube channel.

I’ve named it “Freelance Tip of the Day.”

My intent is to publish a new video tip five days a week. Each tip will be fairly short… about 1-3 minutes each.

I’ve also set up a new blog where I will be posting these video tips…

We don’t get angry at Lane Bryant for only offering plus-sized clothing for women. We don’t criticize them for not catering to “skinny people.”

We don’t get angry at Justice for only offering clothing for tween girls. We don’t criticize them for not catering to boys… or babies… or adults.

So why is everybody up in arms over Abercrombie & Fitch targeting young people of ordinary size? Why do we care if they don’t offer a woman’s pants size larger than 10?

The Bet My Dad Lost

by Ryan M. Healy on May 7, 2013

It was a simple bet:

“Ryan, I bet you $20 you’ll go up at least one pants size within two years of getting married.”

I was instantly indignant…

How I Make Time for Reading as a Busy Parent

by Ryan M. Healy on April 30, 2013

In an average year, I finish reading about 25-30 books. Less than 25 is a bad year; more than 30 is a good year.

This is the pace that I’ve been keeping for about 20 years now. My annual target is achievable for me, but still forces me to stay focused in order to hit my goal.

What you may (or may not) know about me is that I’m married and have four kids. I run my own freelance copywriting business (and have been running it since 2005). I have no employees and my wife does not have a job or help in my business. (She does do plenty of work though… she takes care of the kids, homeschools, cooks, etc.)

Anyway, a friend and blog reader sent the following email:
