Interview: Pamela Wilson
July 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Time for another interview! Because I love to ask questions and find out how people do what they do. Today I get to pick the brain of one of the hottest designers around, Pamela Wilson of BigBrandSystem.com:
- Why Pamela teaches marketing and design to regular people like you and me.
- How design is a skill that can be learned.
- What a good design tells your visitors.
- Why her site has a very simple design.
- How Pamela learned copywriting on the fly and wound up as a regular contributor at Copyblogger.
- What went into the planning of her business and blog.
- The most important productivity decision Pamela made as a single mom with a struggling new business. [Hint: she started valuing her time.]

From Blog to Business: the Mindshift
June 24, 2010 By 8 Comments
I had a mindshift late Monday night, after going ‘live’ with the voice coaching site and putting my photo up. I kept looking at that shot and thinking, “Dang, I look like I know what I’m talking about.” Heh. That’s good for business, of course.
I didn’t expect it to change the way I think about myself.
I love a love fest

So I accidentally launched the voice coaching site an hour or two ago, thanks in part to the lovely and talented @CatherineCaine.

Something’s gotta change
May 21, 2010 By 17 Comments
I’m afraid you’re going to lose patience if I keep churning out these “me me me” posts and don’t get back on track with information that would actually be helpful to YOU. But isn’t that one of the problems we flakes always have — fear that others will lose patience with us? And of course, it’s that fear that has led me to procrastinate AGAIN on blogging anything at all. Silly me.
