P.P.S. What others are saying about Lina Penalosa and The
Write Solution…
“I’ve
used Lina on several occasions to create my own revenue-producing sales letters
and couldn’t be happier. She takes care of all the grunt-work, works
quickly, produces fantastic copy that sells my products and requires very
little from me in the process. I can’t begin to imagine how much time and
money her services have saved me!”
--Lee Milteer, International Business Coach and Speaker
“If you want someone who gets
the Dan Kennedy-style of copywriting and creating long sales letter, Lina is
the writer you want. She does more than take care of the interviewing,
testimonial gathering, layout, color scheme, photo placement and of course the
writing. She’ll save you a small fortune…not to mention your
sanity. Her prices are more than reasonable and when I add up the cost of doing
it myself---well, let’s just say I’ve saved thousands of dollars on
each project!”
--Stephen Oliver, Martial Arts Marketing
Expert and Owner of Mile High Karate Schools
“Lina
is one of the best creative talents I've worked with. She has a no-nonsense
attitude and never makes excuses. She just gets the work done and quickly.
There’s no hand-holding or baby-sitting required. I ask for something. I
pay for it. I get it. Her approach is thoughtful and organized and once
I’ve assigned something to her, I can forget about it and move on to the
next item on my to-do list.”
--Ernesto Fernandez, Doctor of Oriental Medicine,
Acupuncture Physician, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
