I was a good photographer and after a series of front page pictures in the Philadelphia Bulletin, an editor there enrolled me in NIA "since you're always at these events you just as well report as take pictures." He said that at that time there were six experienced New York City editors on NIA's staff. That was back in the early 1950's and I was just out of highschool. I finished the program while serving as a U.S. Army photographer. I have made a decent living by writing since then both in newspapers and public relations where I spent 20 years as a PR supervisor for a Fortune 500 company. Not a bad career based on a "correspondence school." NIA was a great business, run by people who knew what they were selling. I am a “graduate” of NIA, the only training I ever had in writing.

A high profile seminar speaker here in Australia has basically made his fortunes by copying the legendary Dan Kennedy. But at the end of the day it all comes down to Action. With it success is but a pipe dream. Hi Lawrence,
