Once upon a time there was a little girl. She loved to tell stories, to laugh and to entertain her friends. As this young girl grew into a grown up, a whole new world appeared. This wide web of a world was an alluring place. It allowed our story teller to reach new friends and tell even more stories. Soon she began sharing the stories of her days, the things that made her laugh and smile, in the hope of helping her new friends to smile.

One morning an amazing idea popped into her brain. What if this new world was full of smiley, happy places? There were already a lot of boring, dull, dry places where people were trying to sell stuff. But what if there were a better way?

Give A Brick started life as a fund-raising idea that popped into my head one sunny August afternoon. We needed £100,000 for our first project. That’s easy I said. All we need is 100,000 people to each give one pound. Give A Brick (i.e. just £1) was born.

Since January 2010, I’ve been writing daily blog posts for Give A Brick and after adding Paypal to the site, we’ve now had ‘bricks’ from people all over the world. To Give A Brick via Paypal, please click here or to visit the Give A Brick site please click here.

(aka Blogging, Twitter and Facebook help)

Professional hand holding was never on the business plan for this place. It all started as a passing comment to my sister in law. She’d asked me about Facebook pages and the costs involved. I told her they were free, unless of course she needed a professional social media consultant to hold her hand and help get her started.

Later I met a fabulous foodie who had heard about the joys of Twitter but needed someone to sit down and help him get started.

Another business owner wanted to start a company news page but didn’t know where to start. In that instance, I set up a blog, tinkered with the theme to get it looking wonderful and taught her how to update the site with new blog posts.

Other people prefer to learn by doing and just like to have me around to ask questions. That’s the beauty of happy hand holding, it’s a tailor made service.

Thanks for all the WordPress help last week…I’m learning all the ins and outs whilst I wait for my designer to come back with some logo ideas! – Kate Bacon, KateBacon.co.uk

Strategies and plans are great but sometimes, what you really need is a lovely person to hold your hand and talk you through it all. That’s where Happy Hand Holding comes in.

Is your brain full of brilliant stuff that you’d love to get on the screen and in front of your people? Fabulous.

Having got it all down, does the prospect of going back and checking for errors totally do your head in?

If so, you need my magic marker pen. Designed with busy professionals in mind, the magic marker pen takes all the hassle out of ensuring your writing is as technically brilliant as you are.

I’ve been using El’s Magic Marker Pen for a few months now and it’s nothing short of outstanding. I’m the kind of writer that likes to write my posts and hit schedule straight away to get my thoughts and ideas out there for people to think on. This usually means there are some spelling and grammatical errors that my fast moving brain simply misses. – Ben Lumley, TheBenLumley.com

With prices starting at £250 per month, there are three options available (depending upon how frequently you plan on posting new content) and all packages include a 50% donation to Give A Brick and a low fee of £1 for the first 7 days.

You have 7 days to test out my magic marker pen on a blog post of your choice (up to 500 words) and if you cancel your subscription at any time during the first 7 days, you will not be charged another penny.

Your £1 will be donated to UK registered charity Give A Brick.

30 x 500 word edit + 5 free (£100 saving) = £600/month

Fresh, regular content is a great way to get lots of lovely readers to your place but when you’ve got twenty other things to do, taking the time needed to go back and check for errors, typos, poor turn of phrase or messy grammar is just plain boring and a pain in the proverbial.

With my magic marker pen on hand, you can forget about typos and grammar and instead, just get back to the fun of writing.

El’s Magic Maker Pen always saves the day and puts the polish on my posts that make them shine. Because of that I now use El for every post and article I write, whether on my site or when I’m guest posting for other people. She is also my first point of editorial contact when I am working on new products and ebooks. – Ben Lumley

The magic marker pen is a monthly subscription service. There’s no contract. You can cancel at any time.

Choosing the right package for you

With my flexible Magic Marker Pen packages, you can choose to post 3, 5 or 7 times a week. All prices are based on an edit of up to 500 words although if you prefer, you can use two (or three or four) credits at one sitting to have me read and edit as necessary, your longer posts.

As a bonus, each package includes 3, 4 or 5 freebies thrown in each month. That’s 3, 4 or 5 x 500 words extra of editing at no extra cost to you. These can be newsletters, guest blog posts, sales copy … you write it, I’ll read and edit it. That’s up to a £100 saving every single month.

How it works

If you use WordPress, the easiest way to set my pen to work for you is to create an editor account for me in your dashboard.

To do this, go to www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/user-new.php (Change yoursite.com to the URL of your Word Press blog) where you will be prompted to add a new user. Please enter my email address as edit@heavenandel.com and remember to leave the box checked to send me a password.

Not a WordPress user? Not a problem. You can send me your blog posts via Google Docs (send to giveabrick@gmail.com) or get in touch and we can talk about your current blogging software. There’s a good chance I’ll have played with it at some time.

Throughout the month, any time you have a post ready for my pen to work its magic on, just send a quick email to me using that same address. All posts will be read and edited and re-read within 24 hours (often quicker but please don’t bank on that when planning your blog posting schedule) and I’ll send an email when your post is ready for publication.
