  27. This is one of the cooler posts I’ve seen on Content Writing guys. Extremely fun to read and only took a few minutes out of an otherwise hectic day.

    I imagine everyone checking out your blog is all about content writing, but how many of us actually get time to enjoy so many really great postings? The cartoons did the trick.

    The main lesson I take away from this article is that inventiveness is the key. Thanks for a great post.

  28. Did I already tell you that I love every topics on your site ?

  29. I was expecting something different, but when I saw your cartoons, they really made me smile. Now about that coffee one, could we make it a can of Pepsi Max instead… ;-)

  30. You are 100% on the money! Most people I see view things in the short run and try to take every opportunity to promote or hype themselves instead of building credibility by helping others achieve their goals.

  31. The other day a friend was here and forwarded the URL to me to check out In the older posts there are is some very interesting posts if some of you have not checked it out yet.
