-- Joyce, Writer

After seeing so many publications with scant useful information, it is good to see a book worth paying for! I think you have covered 99% of the bases - the other 1% is for the notary to go out and DO IT!!
-- Suzanne, LA

You did a lovely job and relieved a lot of stress for me. Thank you.

-- Crystal M.

Interviewee Praises

I was contacted by Alyice Edrich (aka The Dabbling Mum) to do an email interview...

Miscellaneous Praises

I had the pleasure of submitting work to Alyice at The Dabbling Mum, a high quality publication that addresses the needs of work-at-home parents. Alyice is an excellent editor, easy to work with, exceptional copyediting skills and is honed in to the interests of her key market segments, enabling her to deliver a fun and insightful publication. I look forward to the opportunity to write for her again, and would also happily hire her to write for any of the properties I publish or manage.
-- Dawn Allcot, May 8, 2012

Alyice is a diligent entrepreneur. Her website TheDabblingMum.com is vast; covering so many angles and topics for families, entrepreneurs and writers. I've watched her for years as she's grown, and I can say she has a dogged, stick-to-it work ethic to see a job through. Regardless of whether she's writing, web-designing or advising families through her efforts, she's intense in performing admirably to the client's best interest.
-- Hope C. Clark, August 26, 2008

I praise God for the opportunity to work with someone who is dedicated to putting out great content on her site. She's resourceful and so artistic in so many areas. If you need a writer, she's your gal. If you need a photographer, again -- Alyice is the one for the job. Check out her site, it's one you should not miss.
-- Pam Kumpe, August 26, 2008

Alyice Edrich is a multi-talented person. Her award-winning site, The Dabbling Mum®, helps thousands of writers and parents. She produces e-books, and ghost writes as well. If you want something done, ask Alyice!

I have read many nonfiction articles by you and you have a very distinct and easy to understand voice.

Alyice is friendly and has great ideas for making things work better.

Her approach to class was professional and serious...Alyice represents the best of Community College students. I heartily recommend her.
-- Mr. Feinberg, Professor of Paralegal Studies, 1996

She was a former student of mine, in Probate Procedures, and demonstrated a high standard of achievement (grade of "A"). She was an involved student and was always willing to participate in class discussions and would ask relevant questions...I would heartily recommend her...
-- Mr. Stein, Attorney At Law, 1997

I can't praise Alyice's performance, in my Political Science class, too highly. She received one of the highest scores ever.
-- Mr. Stanbery, Professor of Political Science, 1989

Thank you, Alyice, for creating a powerful, awesome press release!
With regards to a press release I wrote just for her business... Oh, Alyice! It sounds great!! Looks great! I love it! You do fabulous work!
-- Kim Monaco of Discovery Toys

Alyice and I collaborated on my press release. She did the hard part and gave me a completed press release that I had been trying to do myself for months! I tweaked it a bit, for different markets, then sent it out. I received some really nice coverage for my site! I would have never gotten this off my "to do list" without Alyice's help!

The press release is great! It makes me want to order a personalized book now!
A few weeks after sending the press release out locally...The Wausau and Marshfield papers had a write-up on personalized gifts...in the Lifestyle section on THANKSGIVING DAY and they listed my name and website!

Update 6/03/02...Your press release, the one for the MDL, is going over real favorably. Everyone who sees it has very complimentary things to say about it. And whenever we get the chance to tell people about you, we do it.
-- Denise

I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for writing the press release, I sure envy people with writing talents! I just now got around to working on it and was really impressed!

You did a great job in putting my press release ideas into words.
-- Shre of Candle Wonder

Remember that press release you wrote last year...Guess what?! The Daily Breeze called me this morning to do an article...some seeds take longer to grow I suppose.
-- Laura

(FYI: I always tell people you never know when a paper can use your story, so once your press release is written, leave it on your website indefinitely.)

Web Content Writing

...By the way, the "January homepage" wording has generated sales. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!! I'm so excited.
-- Thelma Pruitt of My Pampered Moments

I hired Alyice to do web copy for four of my businesses...And, I must say she did an EXCELLENT JOB. Not only is she professional and efficient but she is also a GREAT writer. Her descriptions and meta tags are outstanding and have caused my search engine rankings to increase. She wrote my content as if she created the products herself. Alyice goes above and beyond what she is compensated for. She was constantly tweaking my pages, and giving me suggestions about how to get my pages ranked high. She even took the time to explain what certain terms meant―associated with search engine optimization―and also pointed me in the right direction to learn more about the process. While I know she is a busy lady, she remained courteous and professional―at all times. She made me feel like I was her number one priority. Thank you for your hard work and quick turnaround. You have made my website's content worthwhile to read!
-- Villaseñor, Owner of Flutters of the Heart®

2003 Update from Villaseñor...I was getting sales here and there, but after you did my tags and web copy and told me what to focus on and I singled out the products that work for me, my site has been steadily increasing in sales!...All because I listened to what you had to say and applied it to my business. In three months, I went from 500 unique visitors to 2,300 unique visitors and it just keeps increasing. Thanks!

2004 Update from Villaseñor...I still have not done much advertising and my sales have tripled! My unique visitors has increased to 16,497 per month!

2005 Update from Villaseñor...I still have not done any advertising or targeted repeat customers and my sales have continued to go up. My unique visitors has increased to 22,784 per month. And, I've earned over $45,000 in pure profit in 2005!

2006 Update from Villaseñor...I know you won't believe this, but I still have not done any advertising and my sales are holding strong. My unique visitors are now at 26,608 per month, and that's with moving over half my content to an entirely new website! With this kind of success, I know I'm now ready to start advertising and targeting repeat customers.

Your copywriting is so good it's making people nervous. I had one gal write me and ask if she could pay this month and take the class later -- she had many responsibilities with her children this month, but wanted to "hurry" as the copy encouraged to lock in at the $75 price that "wouldn't last." I had to chuckle.
-- Barbara Carr Phillips, Journal Workshop Instructor, 2005

Article looks great...I like your work. Plus, you're familiar with some SEO—even better.
Follow-up for 2nd content written for website: Article looks great!...very informative and excellent style.
-- Benjamin, Business Development, 2005

Alyice it's wonderful!!! I love it!…we both thought it was excellent! I am so pleased and happy with your copy, you did a great job! I will keep working on your suggestions also...Thanks so much Alyice.
Re: new index page copy for new website on loans
-- Connie Barker, Owner Financial Website, 2004

We are both thrilled with the copy! You have us convinced that you own a motorcycle!
Re: new index page copy for website about motorcycle parts, etc.
-- Doug Barker, Owner, 2004

That's perfect! I guess that is why you write for a living!
-- Lexi E. (regarding web copy I wrote for her colleague)

This didn't come from a client but from a professional seeking information in which I had written an article on:
Your article was number five in my organic Google search. Being in the interactive space full-time most people stop looking after the 5th ranking (or first page), thus your optimization is to be commended.
-- HP of New Business Development
