Word Wise is Welcomed to the Bible Gateway Blogger Grid
I'm excited that the Bible Gateway has welcomed Word Wise at Nonprofit Copywriter to its
Blogger Grid (BGA²), an international network of independent bloggers who blog about matters relating to the Bible.
You may have noticed that for a long time, I have linked Bible references in my posts to
Bible Gateway. I do so for two reasons. First, I know that when I see a Bible passage referenced in an article or post, I want to check it out myself - and I assume you do, too.
In addition to that, I like to refer you to
Bible Gateway because it's an awesome resource. I use it almost every day. It offers free access to the Bible in more than 200 different translations and more than 70 languages. It's no wonder that Bible Gateway is the internet's largest Christian website.
You can take a sec and browse Bible Gateway right now and even skim through some of the other terrific Christian bloggers on the
Bible Gateway Blogger Grid. Bookmark the site to check later. You can download the Bible Gateway app your phone (yes, it's free!) And if you're on social media, be sure to follow Bible Gateway on
Facebook,
Twitter, and
Pinterest.

Selling Your Services

Bob Bly

I'm not a marketer. In fact, my degree is in classical music. But Bob Bly's Selling Your Services helped me get my first writing clients.
We all know that business is incredibly competitive today. It's important to be good at your craft and deliver superior service, but these things alone are no longer enough to ensure your continued success.
Those who make the most money in any field, industry, or profession are not necessarily those who have the most knowledge, are most experienced in their craft, or sell the highest quality service. No, those who make the most money, charge the top fees, and are constantly in demand are those who are best at selling and marketing themselves!
It doesn't matter what you are selling - professional, creative, trade, or technical services - or what your profession is. Bob Bly's 5-step
Selling Your Services process is packed with business-building selling techniques that will enable you to gain the selling skills you need to be more confident in selling, enjoy it more, generate a flood of leads and inquiries for your services, stand out from your competition, and get more and better clients to hire you, more often, for bigger fees.
Now you can increase your personal income simply by becoming much more effective at selling your services to potential clients, at the fees you want to charge.
