Ryan Healy on Copywriting, Advertising & Business Growth
From the category archives:
Last week, I started having MAJOR computer problems.
I guess it was about time. I’ve got a Dell Inspiron 9200 laptop computer running Windows XP. The date this computer was shipped to me was February 28, 2005 — so it’s more than four years old, practically an eon in the world of computing.
To sum it all [...]

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 5 people to be tagged. You have [...]

It’s always a good day when your name is mentioned between Seth Godin and Jeff Bezos (the founder and owner of Amazon.com).

When I rewrote my to-do list a couple of days ago, I wrote: “12. Write a thank-you post.”
This is that post.

God – For directing [...]

Secondly, I’d like to depart from our “regular programming” to talk about the birth of Jesus.
Did you know Jesus was NOT born on December 25?

This trip actually had multiple purposes — both personal and business.
I first flew into Baltimore where I met my good friend Chuck Mueller. He and I then drove to Breezewood, Pennsylvania for [...]

A few months ago, I came up with 12 questions for copywriter Stephen Dean to answer.
Well, “stuff” got in the way. Stephen went on vacation. I got busy with projects. Etc.
The delay actually turned out to be a good thing. Because I asked Stephen to interview me.
You’ll find the questions I asked Stephen, along with [...]

In the last week or so, I’ve gotten two new testimonials because I took the time and effort to ask.
One is from a client I worked with 18 months ago. He recently contacted me about a potential upcoming project.
The other is from a client I’ve done four projects for since spring of this year — [...]

Normally, I wouldn’t post this type of news.
But it’s critical that you know what’s happening in the U.S.
Today, the Constitution died. Or, more accurately, it continued its slow death.
In fact, the news article on Digg has been “dugg” more than 12,000 times. I think that’s an all-time record (although I haven’t been able to verify [...]
