The Big List o’ Free Stuff!

May 22nd, 2008 by Jon

Our little company was born 18 years ago in a Jersey City apartment, and, against all odds, it’s paid our mortgage, put food in our dog’s dishes and baseball cards in our son’s pockets.  If we’ve learned anything about building a business during this time, it’s this:

Be generous with people, and people will be generous in return.

 

I didn’t always buy into that notion.  When we first put our website up (way back in 1995) it seemed crazy to give away so much information and I had to be dragged along kicking and screaming.  But, wow, I’m sure glad I got on board.  Since that time, we’ve given away a lot of stuff, asking only goodwill in return.  I have no doubt it’s one of the big reasons CBI is where it is today.   If you’re struggling to make it as a writer, I urge you to consider a similar path.  Give of your talents, help others who need it and be a mentor — and the big wheel o’ karma will surely spin your way.

Right.  Time to get off the soapbox and give you what you came for — [tag-tec]free stuff[/tag-tec]!  We’ve got all kinds of goodies scattered around the web site and they can be tough to find.  I bet, for example, you didn’t know that we have a free ebook called Robert Louis Stevenson on the Art of Writing. It’s really an outstanding read and it’s waiting for you, along with a bunch of other things that won’t cost you a dime.

Here’s where to go to browse and take:  http://write4kids.com/freestuff.html

Enjoy!
