Red Shoe Blogger Session (One-on-One)

Do you want to write more persuasive, emotional, meaningful pieces?

I’ll verbally download to you everything I know about writing and teach you to do that.

Do you want to unlock your writing voice?
I’ve got the keys.

I can look at someone else’s writing and instantly, instinctively know if it needs sugar or salt or more heat. I know how to season it and cook it. I know which ingredients are missing, how to amp up the emotional contrast and tension, and what technical tricks – rhetoric, typography, poetic devices – will work.

I understand how to train your writing voice to sing. I love editing your pieces. I love talking to you about your writing and encouraging you to take risks – and I’ve done that quietly, informally, and freely for several writers and bloggers. I’d love to do it for you, too.

Do you want to know how to build (and make money from) a blog, all while juggling a job, family, and life?
I can show you how I re-framed every single obstacle in my life – full-time job, single mom, two kids under five, very little child-care or support, no money, no time – into an opportunity and out of those opportunities created a rapidly growing blog, new business and new life for myself.

Do you want to guest post for A-list blogs?
I can tell you how I did it so you can do it, too.

Do you want to blog better? Do you want to know what you’re doing right (and maybe what you’re doing wrong)?
I’ll do a close review of three of your pieces and give you the markups AND and talk to you about how to do it better.

So, if you want me three of your pieces, work together on the phone, and then send you my notes about how you can amp up your unique writing voice, Red Shoe Blogger 1:1 is for you.

Red Shoe Blogger – Editing Services

Super simple, super-sweet (says me), super fast:

  • close review of three of your pieces
  • I e-mail you the markup and my notes and recommendations
  • you get it all within three days

Why this is for you:

Maybe you’re about to publish some risky stuff and need another set of eyes and a dash of bravery.

You’ve written some new, critically important pages – like an About page, a bio, or sales pages – and need some feedback.

You’re new to blogging and want feedback on your style and first set of posts before you press go.

Basically, you care about what you put out into the world and you’d like some feedback that doesn’t sound like this:

great post! I’ll be sure to bookmark it and refer back to it often. Now, would you like to buy some weight loss pills?

If you want some writerly feedback on your work, editing services are for you.

League of Extraordinary Bloggers with Kelly Diels and Dave Doolin

League of Extraordinary Bloggers

You. Me. Dave Doolin.

We brainstorm for an hour on Skype about how to make your blog mo’ better, and then follow up with the MP3 and our notes.

But…

…before we do that, Dave and I research the h-e-double-hockey sticks out of you, your site, your competition and your niche. And then we tell you what we see and how you can rock it out.

Plus there’s hand-holding. And love. And witty banter. We might even talk sweet to you. (We will.)

We’ll all feel good (yay!) but waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important than that is the ACTION.

And we give you an action plan.

You end up with a with a fire in your belly and tools in your belt. Every one of our clients walked away with days and weeks of work to do…and was ITCHING to do it.

So if you’re just starting out and need a map, or you’ve been at this a while and blog and your business has hit a plateau, join the league and get extraordinary.
