You hear all the time about bad SEOs. Bad SEOs are offering worthless services, failing to deliver on their internet marketing promises, polluting the search engine results—well, a lot of bad things. But how much ever gets said about bad SEOs' spiritual counterparts: bad SEO clients?As an SEO, I can see things from the other side of the table. You see, despite trying hard to make it clear I'm a good, ethical, results-oriented, smarter marketing, white-hat SEO, I have gotten no end of inquiries from bad prospecti

With the stock market in steep decline, people are looking for safe places to invest their savings. Many banks and investment companies are pushing annuities. Annuities offer a higher interest rate than CD's, but are they safe?You could view an annuity as a tax deferred CD. You don't pay taxes on the interest until you start drawing from the annuity. But there are some important differences between an annuity and a CD.An annuity is a product offered by an insurance company. With giant corporations like Enro
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.
[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].
THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY
THE HERO'S JOURNEY:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).
d) Gives you a universal structural template upon which you can superimpose your situational story. This is why stories such as Alien (1979), Gladiator (2000), Midnight Cowboy (1969), American Beauty (1999), The Graduate (1967) and many others (all deconstructed at the URL below) appear to be different but are all constructed, almost sequence by sequence, in the same way.

A few years ago, someone asked me whether it was OK to network if she was not "dressed up" for it.For instance, she said, if I'm at the checkout line at a grocery store in my sweats and a networking opportunity arises, should I go for it?I remembered this question recently because I found myself in a very similar situation.I was at the local public library with my kids, and one of the staff members started chatting with me. She wanted to know what language I was speaking with the kids (I speak with t

Owning and running your own at-home business is hard work. If you are like me, you spend hours and hours in front of the computer actually hoping that no one will come to the door or call unless it is for business. Every minute spent at home must be spent working, working, working.But what if you are working every minute, not taking personal calls or visits, and you are not seeing any growth in your business? You will begin to get discouraged and jump from one business-building idea to the next with little or n

As resource strapped small businesses look for ways to expand their market without expanding their payroll, generating more web site revenue shows a very quick return on investment.Around the year 2000 the great internet land rush was in full effect.

*****Origin of Backstory*****
The Hero embarks on the Journey and Transformation, not to gain a capacity, illumination, power or balance, but to regain it. It is not the attainment of a capacity that helps the Hero conquer his (or her) challenges but the reattainment of it. The backstory should be viewed as the moment when that capacity was lost and everything that led up to this point.
As such, the backstory is often where the Hero's Inner Challenges are made explicit. In Silence of the Lambs (1991), Clarice's story really begins with the lamb (which she recites to Lecter). In Midnight Cowboy (1969), Joe Buck's story begins when he is abused and his girlfriend is raped. In An Officer and a Gentleman (1983), Zach's story begins when his mother commits suicide.
*****Universal Terminology*****
The Hero's Journey uses specific terminology, such as "Final Conflict," "Hand-to-Hand Battle," "Unbearable Antagonism," "the Oracle," etc. This misleadingly implies that it applies to only specific story-types (Arthurian Legend, Damsel in Distress, Fantasy, etc). In fact, the terminology applies metaphorically to the vast majority (if not, every) successful story or screenplay you may have come across.
For example, In Annie Hall (1977), when Alvie finally goes to meet Annie in Los Angeles, that is a Hand-to-Hand Battle and is the same one-on-one confrontation as Luke and Vader battling it out at the end of Star Wars; the same mano-a-mano confrontation between Riggs and Joshua in Lethal Weapon (1987), the same confrontation as the one between John McClane and Hans G
