If you’ve been a reader for any length of time, you know that my blog here is the “main course,” so to speak.
In other words, this is where I share a lot of my controversial ideas, as well as tips, strategies, and techniques for writing sales copy, getting traffic, and growing business.
Now, I even have a regularly updated web site that is focused exclusively on the art of written persuasion: Copywriting Code
But there’s another outlet for those who want to know what I’m thinking and reading outside of copywriting, marketing, and business growth.
“A Side of @HealyMonster”
Today, as I was reading Terry Dean’s blog, I came across the post “Building Momentum in Your Life.”
In this post, Terry talks about the importance of routine and being productive even when you’re not in the mood to be productive.
But what made me chuckle was this paragraph toward the end of the article:
Instead of wanting to be the “overnight social media sensation,” just get involved. Setup your Twitter account. Subscribe to some great people like that wonderful @TerryDean or perhaps a little @BenSettle with a side of @healymonster.
My Tweets Are Not for Everybody
Obviously, if you’re on Twitter, I’d love to have you as a follower.
But based on Terry’s wording, I can only assume that this “HealyMonster” guy is an acquired taste, kind of like fine wine. ;-)
Seriously, though, my tweets are often like my blog posts; they’re polarizing because I’m not afraid to stir the pot (so to speak).
So if you can handle some contrarian, sometimes off-the-wall thoughts and ideas, join me on Twitter.
And don’t forget to follow Terry Dean and Ben Settle as well. They always share good stuff, and they’re not hyperactive so they’ll never monopolize your tweet stream.

P.S. The name “Healy Monster” was an old wrestling nickname I resurrected when I discovered my name was already taken on Twitter. Just in case you were wondering…

Ha! That's funny. Well, at least it wasn't a “back side of Ryan” type of post…

All of us are a little of an acquired taste…but especially that @healymonster
He can be scary at times…the things going on in his head. :)
But if you're not having fun in your business, you're in the wrong business.
And here I expected a “personal side of Ryan” type of post…LOL…didn't know it would be “a side dish” type of post :)
ROFL
Well now you owe me a monitor Ryan! I laughed so hard, the Coke hit my monitor :)
