Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and holiday season! Master marketer and copywriter Ted Nicholas sent out a holiday message the other day With a subject line… …”Holiday Reflection By Ted Nicholas”… …it included a piece of writing that Ted especially likes. It’s the famous piece by Ralph Waldo Emerson… “To laugh often and much; [...]

Dude! You Changed The Site!

Yes, I have given the site a makeover… …and changed the theme to the “WordPress Dream Theme”. Like many online marketers I have… 1) Settled on WordPress as the preferred platform as a Content Management System for websites 2) Looked at, tried out and purchased many different premium themes. Ironically I bought the “WordPress Dream [...]

Brief Thoughts On The Royal Wedding…

I confess I originally wasn’t going to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton… …(now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, of course)… …but I did in the end. And what a wonderful occasion. Couple of things to note for copywriters and marketers… 1) The enduring power of stories and symbolism

ANZAC Day 2011

ANZAC Day is arguably the most sacred day in the nation’s calendar… …and here’s a good article in “The Australian”… “The next Anzac century.” …that expands a little on the reasons why. And on this ANZAC Day 2011, here’s a recently discovered poem written by one of the Digger’s at Gallipoli…

Australia Day 2011

Happy “Australia Day” wherever you may be! Today, January 26, is Australia’s national day and marks the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788.  Generally, it’s a pretty laid-back day given over to picnics, barbecues and other outdoor celebrations. The 2010 Legatum Prosperity Index was recently published… …and Australia [...]

Embarrassed By The Ugly State Of Your Keyboard?

It’s an occupational hazard of using a computer… …over time your keyboard is likely to get a little…messy. And because keyboards can be fiddly things (all those moving keys and little nooks and crannies)… …they can be difficult to clean properly. I’ve certainly found it a problem… …so I was very interested when my good [...]

ANZAC Day 2010

The ODE… They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning WE WILL REMEMBER THEM With gratitude to those who served, those who serve today and those who support them.

What Happened To The Blog?!*?

If you’ve been wondering what’s been going on here at “Maximum Results Copywriting” with the blog… …lack of posting, posts disappearing etc… …well unfortunately the site got hacked. If you found your browser being hijacked and directed away to another site… …or you were alerted to a virus threat… …many apologies. After being alerted to [...]

Whoa! Dude…What Did You Do To The Blog?!?

As you will probably have noticed (unless you’re new to this blog…in which case a warm “Welcome!”)… …there’s a whole new look to the place! I finally decided to bite the bullet… …and get myself a premium theme for the blog. I’d been thinking about this for a while, both for aesthetic reasons and to [...]

…And Welcome To The Year Of The Ox

As well as being “Australia Day”, today is also Chinese New Year, Korean New Year, Tet in Vietnam and Republic Day in India. In the Chinese calendar, this is the Year Of The Ox.  According to Wikipedia, the Ox represents prosperity through fortitude and hard work.  Sounds like that could be very appropriate for the [...]

Have A Great “Australia Day”…

…if you’re in Australia (and I guess there’s no reason why everyone else can’t join in the spirit of the day!). The anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, this is a day of barbecues, family get-togethers, fireworks and celebrations of all things Australian. Originally, I was not terribly impressed with the [...]
