This was my very first website and it still looks like it ;-) And I'll keep it as my personal site, for the most part.
Here are some of the activities that you can catch up on:
Academia
After 19 years at VCU, I retired from there and decided to explore the wild wooly world of Internet Marketing.
Then again, I haven't abandoned academia completely! Look for some research findings on Persuasive Strategies in Internet Marketing in the foreseeable future. I'm engaging in the time-honored research activity of "participant-observer" by doing copywriting myself and also studying how it works, linguistically speaking.
It fits right in with my other research on the persuasive strategies of university professors -- and those of blues musicians.
Also, I'm currently teaching writing (composition) at John Tyler Community College. I missed my students!!! So now I have new ones.
Speaking of Grammar...
I'm also getting ready to launch my "Grammarnaire" pet project soon.
Those of you who know me from VCU know that I've been passionate about the self-empowerment approach to grammar -- i.e., helping people beat the grammar police at their own game. All of that in a friendly, down-to-earth, and accessible step-by-step style.
So now I'm putting this into the form of a course that will be delivered in weekly lessons, The page is still in progress (though you can see it when you click on it, but it will have an actual working payment button and an actual course attached soon, once I'm finished with it. The sales letter will be better too!
Blogging Course
Who would have thought... After having been dragged kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of e-learning a few years ago, I'm now teaching a course on blogging. Not any old blogging, mind you, though it'll work for any blogging. But a blogging course for people who want one of these two things:
a) Promote their business and grow their customer base
b) Make money with their blog
I've learned so much over the last two years, I want to share all that great info and help others put it to good use.
