Lisa Copen loves marketing because she loves people. “The ability to discover what people want that they are not finding and then producing the products to serve their needs is an incredible high,” she shares. “It’s not about making money, the but through getting to know people’s desires and what will make their life easier, the money will come if you can provide it.”
She is the founder of a nonprofit, Rest Ministries and National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week, which has served the chronically ill for over ten years, with over 80,000 visitors to her web site each month. Through her own organization, she began doing web design and learning internet marketing and was soon doing web site for small businesses and speaking and the chamber’s expo on Internet marketing.
As an author of numerous books, she has sold thousands of them through non-traditional means and has a passion for helping others who want to sell their book!
Lisa says, “If I can save someone a few steps or teach them to put a new slant on how they can market their book, I feel like I’ve saved them a few steps and thousands of dollars.” She now speaks at writers conferences and is currently working on a series of ebooks on marketing your books on a budget!
Lisa’s energy, despite her chronic pain, enriches all who are blessed enough to be touched by her ministry. Her personal availability encourages the rest of us to reach for God’s best. Her courage to move forward despite everything models hope for the rest of us. Thank you, Lord, for energizing Lise in her ministries.
Lisa, you have a wonderful website for writers, as well as your ministries to the chronically ill. I am a marriage and family therapist and work with many people with chronic illness (mostly fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression). I will be visiting you often. I hope that you will check out my blog. I write a religious column for my local paper entitled, “The Nature of Grace,” and I post my columns on my blog. Right now I am doing a series on God’s walking buddies. I think that your readers might find encouragement and spiritual comfort from my essays. I have also self-published a book with Lulu.com entitled, “The Nature of Grace: Ponderings on God’s Abundant Grace.” God’s grace permeates our lives and I often find God in the little things in my daily life, like my dog, Panda, curled up in my lap, or a spider spinning a web. My passion–my mission–is to help people “get” grace on the heart level. Blessings and Grace, Linda Teeple, Anderson, IN
