Self-Published eBooks
I will say that your e-books are among the best I've downloaded so far.
-- Peg Flint, TX
I have purchased three of your e-books. Your e-books are helpful and inspirational. I have purchased a few e-books from others, but very few compared with yours.

Frankly, you're so thorough...May I commend you for leading the pack in "above and beyond" value for the money. I would never hesitate to purchase any book that you author...
-- 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!!

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

But, mostly I delivered it well. It was beautifully written.
-- Crystal M.
Interviewee Praises
I was contacted by Alyice Edrich (aka The Dabbling Mum) to do an email interview... She provided me with questions that demonstrated she had an informed perspective on what I actually did for a living!! Her questions were juicy and open-ended and simply easy to answer...she edited my rambling beautifully.

Your questions are great... You appear to truly understand the balance that needs to be created. Thanks for this opportunity!

Yours is the best feature I've had done on me to date. Thank you.

Miscellaneous Praises
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!

-- 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.

Wow! This is great! I really like the quotes you did. The press release highlights all points. You did a better job than I explaining all of this. I think my PR lady is going to be very happy. Thank you!

P.S. Sent it to our PR Firm. They commented that they could tell you are a good writer and were pleased with the writing.
The agency that will be distributing your copy (press release) noted that it is an excellent piece of work!!!!!!!

Alyice's work is top-notch, high-quality, and fast. We had a great time working with her and you will, too!
-- Greg of Military Download Library
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!
-- Donna Bliss of My Miracle Baby
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! I am already receiving orders...BEST DAY POSSIBLE!! Thanks Alyice! This is GREAT!!! At the time I really needed it to be!
-- Brenda Neuman of A Personal Touch
I got picked up in our local paper!!! The editor LOVED the concept and would love to receive more of your goodies (referring to Mom Pack samples).
-- Susie of The Busy Woman
I am in awe! Thank you so much! This is ever so much better than what we did. Thank you! Thank you seems so inadequate, but we say it anyways! The PR is getting very high marks!
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
The PR worked! YIPPEE! I'm pretty pumped. There is going to be a special feature on 'Women in Business."...Thanks again!

-- Mary Briggs
You did a great job in putting my press release ideas into words. It even got picked up by a glossy magazine!
-- 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
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
Virtual Assistance
You are patient and very easy to work with. I wish I'd found you back in 2009 when I was searching so hard for someone to fill a need that I knew I had, but didn't know how to write in a job description. And I'm still not sure! But you are doing an awesome job anyway!! ... I am amazed at your talent and speed.-- Robin Brown Davis, February 15, 2012
It eases my mind knowing you're on the job!!
-- Robin Brown Davis, September 10, 2011
Thank you for all your hard work, it has been flawless and very impressive.
-- Megan Scott, Publicity Manager, C&T Publishing, 2011
We appreciate you! (I know I really do.) Your talents, hard work, and reliability have freed me up to do so many other things for publicity. It works really well.
-- Megan Scott, Publicity Manager, C&T Publishing, 2010
I've always hesitated to do business on the web with people I don't know but using Alyice's services was one of the best decisions I have ever made... Not only is she talented and resourceful, but also responsive and caring.
-- Julie, 2003
Secretarial Services and Office Help
Alyice is a professional in every venture she takes. She is enjoyable to work with and maintains very high integrity with each project-as well each area of her life. In spite of her already high level of knowledge, she is always open to learning more and provides quality information and services for her colleagues, clients and peers. I highly recommend Alyice and her services.
-- Julie Bonn Heath, August 26, 2008
Alyice is one of the best office administrators I have had the privilege of working with. (She worked for me at Nutrilite Products, Inc. then came in on several consulting assignments when I opened my own business in 1998.)
-- Manoj, Invetek, Inc., 2002
Alyice has worked in our women's ministry in many different capacities...she is eager to learn, teachable, very industrious and hard-working. She is a good writer and communicator. I appreciate her most because she is an initiator and is sensitive to the needs of others. She is family-oriented, responsible, and dependable.
-- Julia Staton, Pastor of Adult Ministries, 2000
During the two years she has been with us (Newsletter Editor), she has not once missed a deadline or produced anything but quality work. She has always been professional and able to get things done in a timely manner. She is very responsible and dependable as well as compassionate to the needs of others.
-- Kristy, M.O.P.S. Coordinator, Corona 1999
It has been a pleasure to work with you. We would like to thank you for being flexible with your time in accommodating the client's wishes.
-- Expidoc.com, 1999
Alyice helped develop a "How-To" manual which described the various duties for the workings of our company store. Alyice is very competent and I commend her for her computer and organizational skills. Her work is professional... besides her ability to manage her workload, she is good natured, innovative, and detail-oriented.
-- Kay, Company Store Administrator, 1997
Alyice has shown outstanding performance in teamwork, organizational skills, and prioritization of tasks according to importance.
-- Jim, Sr. Process Technologist
Process Improvement and Troubleshooting, 1993

-- Edward, Packaging Engineer
Web Designer
Tina Miller, of Wisconsin, called to inform me that she received an awesome client because of the website I designed for her, and how the client commented on the things about the website that assured her she was in the right place. Tina ended the conversation with, "Thank you! I really, really mean that!! From the bottom of my heart!"
I designed this website in 2005.
"You're awesome! I LOVE it! You do excellent, very professional work. Thank you so much!!! You're the fastest web designer in the world!"
-- Barbara Carr Phillips, 2005
Alyice Edrich is great! Not only is she talented and resourceful, but responsive and caring—which equals a quality and professionalism that you do not always find on the World Wide Web.
She works quickly, efficiently, and creatively—all the while building exactly what you need to get you ahead in cyberland. She's always available and truly cares about her customer's needs.
-- Julie H., 2005
Alyice is a dream come true and sent from heaven to my website rescue. It was a miracle that I found her. I was looking for help in submitting my site to search engines... and what do I find, but this wonderful informative article from Alyice Edrich. Knowing all along that I was completely lost in this huge "www spider." I was getting tangled deeper and messier every day with words and symbols that I had no idea what any of it meant. I needed help.
With all the information that Alyice put out there for free... I hoped she would be able to help me. I emailed her with a big S.O.S. and asked for help, not knowing at all how much money this
was going to cost and only having a very limited budget. I was nervous... She very confidently told me that she would be able to help me and stay within my budget. We visited and after getting
to know each other a bit, I sent her a few samples of my soaps, so she could actually see, smell, and use them. I wanted to give her a better idea of what my soaps were like. Then she took off.
Alyice created a website for me that has far surpassed anything I had even hoped for. She created a separate main site with borders, pages, and great content, then helped me with a point and
click store that allows me to maintain my own store without the need to use her services again. She edited and corrected my grammar and punctuation on the main site, all while having the wording sounding like it was still me writing it. She has helped me submit my site, promote it, and find all kinds of information. Alyice did so much more than just create a website for me. She has become a friend and a mentor; helping my soap business really take off. Alyice, I can't thank you enough.
-- Lynnel Camling, Handcrafted Country Soaps™
I maintained this website until January 2004.
When I assumed sole ownership of Obadiah Press and Obadiah Magazine, I wanted a new look for the website to celebrate. Alyice Edrich took my ideas, my color preferences, and my personal likes and dislikes into consideration--and she just ran with it! The result was an awesome new site that is clean, attractive, easy to use, wonderfully functional, fast-loading, and comes up
high in the search engines, too. It's been getting rave reviews ever since it went live! I couldn't be more pleased!
As a web mistress, Alyice is tops. Updating my pages is fast and easy--all I have to do is drop her a note and any requested changes or additions are made quickly and accurately.
She's used her expertise to optimize the site in the search engines, and she provides tips to help ensure the site will continue to get high rankings and lots of hits.
And Alyice is going to be implementing a complete shopping cart system for the site--a brand new addition for us--and something I'm really excited
about. I can't wait until she has that part up and running!
Update from Mrs. Miller, after the new site was live for several weeks...Thanks again!! We're getting so many fabulous comments about the new site and hits, too! I honestly think it is due to your efforts. Between your getting it into the search engines, and your PR work, and the new look, and the fact that the site is more current with information than ever before...it's all adding up to great results!
-- Tina L. Miller, Obadiah Press, A Christian Publishing House and Magazine
I maintained this website until December 2003.
I would recommend Alyice to anyone who needs any of her other services. Alyice has such a wonderful personality and it shows in her work and her professional relationships. She always goes the extra mile and adds little "extras" when she works with you.
In meeting her for the first time, it was easy to see that she is a person who wants others to succeed. In the time we talked about my website needs, she picked up on who I was as an individual and a business and entwined her findings into a web design that was "ME!" She is very professional, yet very personal. Although numerous changes had to be made due to never-ending,
frustrating specifications from the company I get my supplies from, she was up to the challenge and came through with flying colors!
Alyice has excellent ideas to add to your own to come up with a sure win. Her goals obviously are to make OTHERS successful, and she goes beyond the call of duty to see to it that her clients
have the best possible chance to make that happen. She not only comes through with a job well done, but gives many suggestions on marketing ideas she has learned through her own experiences. She has excellent qualifications and has done a lot of research and this shows in her work.
I strongly recommend giving Alyice a call to see what she can do for you and your business! Her prices are more than reasonable, and your satisfaction is her promise! She even helps you to take over your own site, should you decide you want to make changes yourself.
-- Brenda Neuman,A Personal Touch
I designed her site Oct. 2002 and maintained it until September 2003.
I LOVE IT! My site is just what I wanted. I can't believe the 100% turn around my site made! I still can't get over how great it is. You have been so good to me. I can't thank you enough. Yippee!!
-- Vicky Lynch, Spa Today Lady
I designed and maintained this site until October 2003.
