Before I go into details about how you can win a 100% totally free copy of this amazing software, I want to take a moment and tell you more about how my life was back when my wife and I first met. It is kind of a sad story, but I feel that it will allow you to better connect with me as a person.
The Life of Garry Conn In His Early Twenties
In this modern day we live in we frequently see commercials on TV and hear ads on the radio about credit card debt. For me, having credit card debt was something my wife and I fought for years when we first got married. I am serious, when we first met we had our first child very early in our relationship. While it wasn’t a mistake, as we actually wanted to have a baby, it was a poor judgment call to do it when we did. At the time, we were both in our early 20’s, in fact I had just turned twenty years old, both were working at entry level jobs and shacked up in a two bedroom apartment.
Our financial lives were rough… very rough. In order to survive, we had no choice but to live off credit cards. Coming into our relationship, my wife Angie already had a child and adding the the new baby (my son Garry Conn III) to the mix really impacted his very badly financially. Living off credit cards was a matter of survival as our kids had to eat. Luckily for us, living off of credit cards bought us both enough time to eventually climb in our jobs. During that time I was also working sleepless nights on my first online business.
The result of living off credit cards to survive during this time resulted in a huge never ending circle. Granted both Angie and I were now beginning to get ahead in life by earning enough money with our jobs, but unfortunately the large amount of debt we accumulated over the first few years of our relationship was haunting us. Both Angie and I made enough money to pay our bills, get food for our kids and also make the minimum payments on our debts. However, we didn’t make enough money to ever really chip away at our debts. Month after month, we were only able to make minimum payments and as you know in doing so, it takes many years to completely pay off your debts.
Recognizing that Angie and I were in a situation where we were literally throwing hundreds of dollars away each month towards minimum payments, we decided to seek out the assistance of a debt consolidation company. After a few weeks of speaking with different companies, we found a company that we felt would provide us with the best service and we were able to get a debt consolidation loan which was then used to completely pay off all our credit card debts. From there, we were left with only one bill to pay each month which yielded a much lower interest rate compared to all the credit cards accounts that we were paying on.
Having the debt consolidation loan was a true life saver for us as it enabled us to be much more organized with our money and enabled us to actually pay more each month towards chipping away at our debt. The initial loan that we had was a 10 year loan and Angie and I were able to get it completely paid off in five.
How To Win The WhiteSmoke.com Contest
In this contest everyone is actually a winner. However, one person will be more of a winner than others. After reading this history story about how my life was in my early twenties, you can quickly see how credit card debt has impacted the lives of my family and myself.
To participate in this contest, I would like for you to write a 500 to 1000 word article that will provide your advice on how a family can avoid getting into credit card debt. Secondly, in this article, I would like for you to provide advice on how a family can get out of credit card debt. You can use real life examples if you or another family member had problems with credit card debt. Additionally, you can simply provide your straight advice on the subject matter.
After you complete your article, please submit the final copy to me via email to garryconn@gmail.com. From there I will assign it a reference # as I have my trusted friend, Christine Senter standing by to judge the quality and craftsmanship of your article. As I send the article into Christine Senter I will be removing elements that identify you and replacing that information with a reference #. Christine Senter will have no idea who’s article she is judging. She will be looking only at the quality of the article rather than who wrote the article.
When I have sent in all the articles, Christine Senter will relay back to me the reference # of the article she has deemed as being the best. That reference # will be paired back up to the individual who wrote the article and be crowned as the winner of this content.
Everyone Is A Winner!

As you may know, eBooks are one of the best ways to funnel traffic to your web site or blog. However, if you can’t get people to download it, then it isn’t worth anything. The individual who wins this contest has a huge opportunity to put their name and writing work in the limelight.

Your post brings home similiar memories of credit card debt
and it still tries to tighten it’s noose around us at times but
we learned our lesson and are dealing with it. I guess I
have to get my thinking cap on and enter this contest.

My family and I suffered for many years battling our credit card debt and I know too that this is a very common problem many individuals and families experience.
Good luck with the contest and the most wonderful thing about this contest is that everyone wins and there will be one lucky winner who gets the grand prize.

I really want this software too! Unfortunately, Zach gave only ONE copy to use for this contest and I am choosing to donate it to the winner… so I’ll have to bit the bullet and buy my own. Which to be quite honest, the pricing is pretty reasonable. The version that is included in this contest is the enterprise edition which retails for $250. However, they have many variations and in fact you might find a version that is better suited for your needs. Pricing, I believe starts at $79 dollars which might be more of a number you’re aiming to spend. Check out the WhiteSmoke.com home page and shop around… if you have any questions, I’ll see if I can get Zach to jump on here in the comments and speak with you.

I am looking forward to designing the graphics.
My life has it’s fair amount of credit card debt and loan debt too. My story is a little different as it deals with my debts coming from sympathy for family members and then them not paying me back!
I still am living the battle and hope to find a way to start organizing and getting it all under control very soon.
Awesome comp Garry and I really appreciate your story. Generally as bloggers we keep our private life off the screen but every now and then it’s good to let a little out.

Thankfully, these days I don’t worry about CC debt, did a few years back and the best thing I did was cut those cards up…
Unless you can use them to their best & pay back what you borrowed the previous month, you are putting yourself at their mercy…
So by going without them, only spending what I can afford today, I find myself to be a lot better off.
I still have a few Credit Cards, but thankfully it’s engraved in my brain now to only use them when there is no other option & I can get the cash borrowed back to them within a few days of borrowing it…any longer and I don’t want to know….

If sites provide a once off payment, fair enough, we have a month at least to make up our minds but by asking for a continuous payment that needs a email/phone call to cancel, it just makes me think how many suckers have been caught by forgetting to follow up…

I am pleased to hear that you are interested in adverting on my blog but also respect your decision not to based off my terms. I charge $6 dollars for a 125×125 advertisement on my blog. Providing such an affordable cost in advertising, I feel that it should be the responsibility of the advertiser to cancel when they no longer want to continue advertising. If it was the other way around, I’d have to keep track and invest time into asking if people want to renew. That is time I don’t have and that is also part of the reason why my ads are cheap.
Your comment did cause me to remember that I was actually in the process of working on my advertisement page and produce an updated rate card before this cow madness thing started. My prices are going to increase and I’ll need to get around to that fairly soon.

I’m Portuguese and I, and my wife, are the kind ok people that never have had a Credit Card because we organize our lives in a way that, we only buy what we have money to.
But 2 years ago, as we needed to build our house and, as usual in people with our age ( 31 - 33) we didn’t have the all money, we’d getted a credit from a Bank and one of the thing that we earned with that credit was a credit card, wich we don’t use and is somewhere at home. Honestly, we’ve never used it and we don’t plan to use…unless it will be really needed.
Another thing, doesn’t Microsoft Word have the same, or more, functionalities as WhiteSmoke?
The last but not the least, sorry for my English
Date/Time: 6-1-2008 01:13:15 Comment #14809
I me think once good was Whitesmoke.
But grammar found problems no can find. Whitesmoke said artificial intelligence it uses. Me think it intelligence most artificial. No can do it. Whitesmoke full of all smoke.
How they say grammar, they check me confused very.
They’ve been blowing me off when I’ve contacted them about a refund. I’ve filed a complaint with my credit card company. I imagine they’ll reverse the charge.
Date/Time: 6-3-2008 10:27:27 Comment #14930
I had no problems getting in touch with WhiteSmoke.com and it seems that their response makes perfect sense to me.
Hope that better helps you Sol.

wanted to try out whitesmoke after reading so many good things about it BUT…
I am really frustrated now, I think I just fell in to their buy and download trap. Yesterday I bought the General, Business Writing Version, and Extended License Service. After paying via PayPal, I was reverted to a whitesmoke link to download what I had purchased. I was also informed that I would soon receive an e-mail with download advice, purchase confirmation etc, generally what one expects after paying. However, after downloading I realized I had received a trail version, which constantly reminds me that I would have to purchase the license in seven days. I didn’t even receive a confirmation mail. Since then I’ve been trying to get hold of someone from their support team, and all I receive are mails telling me that someone will get in touch with me. I just can’t believe I fell for something like this, it looked and sounded serious, I had read articles about whitesmoke online, and it seemed like everything was fine. I Paid $93, 00 and have received nothing.
What should I do?
Do you have an idea?
Date/Time: 8-4-2008 19:21:53 Comment #17720
I bought Whitesmoke with a credit card. After Whitesmoke ignored and jerked me around for over a month about a refund I went to my credit card company. They reversed the charge after I explained that Whitesmoke said they would refund my money but didn’t. At one point Whitesmoke said they had technical difficulties processing my refund and that they wanted to mail me a check. I said no and Visa took care of me. I’m not as optimistic about PayPal as they are not customer oriented, especially with download software.
The lesson — don’t buy unknown software with PayPal. Buy it with a credit card and file a dispute with the merchant with your credit card company. Hopefully I’m wrong and PayPal will take care of you or WhiteSmoke will give you a refund.
Lesson #2: Check the web for scam reports before you buy; I didn’t and it cost me a bunch of hassle but I finally got my money back.

After the difficulties in the beginning, I must admit that Whitesmoke apologized and took care of the problem. A few different people from whitesmoke have contacted me since then, and have been very helpful and friendly indeed. As to Paypal, PayPal offers a service here in Germany (where I live) and if you file a complaint about a purchase, then they do try to get buyer and seller together to settle things. As I was worried after not hearing from whitesmoke at the begining of this mishap, I did get intouch with Paypal, but meanwhile I have informed them that everything is fine and that the problems have been solved. The software is a great relief for me.
Date/Time: 8-6-2008 11:01:06 Comment #17826
I am glad that WhiteSmoke.com made efforts towards fixing the problem. I know too because I am getting many of the carbon copies sent to me that they have bent over backwards for Sol. I don’t think that you could make that guy happy even if you locked him in room and filled it with laughing gas.
Date/Time: 8-7-2008 04:56:04 Comment #17860
I hope you are doing well. Thank you for posting all our responses on your blog as we have nothing to hide from your loyal readers. I’m glad we could resolve Juliet’s concerns after purchasing our superb English Writing Software. I sincerely wish we could provide some sort of additional service to ensure Sol Lederman is satisfied as well.
My offer for a free license in compensation for his difficulties still stands if Sol is interested. I do not feel there is much else I can offer Sol as he has received a refund and would essentially receive a product valued at well over $100 absolutely free of charge. To the rest of Garry’s loyal readers, please do not hesitate to contact myself via Garry’s fantastic blog if you have any questions/comments about our software. We stand behind our software which encourages and helps deliver professionalism in every aspect of an individual’s writing! Have a great day everyone and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Zach Hamisha
