About Tony’s Bologna

You’re probably wondering…

Who in the hell is Tony?

And what in the hell does he write about?

Well…

My name is Tony, and I like writing comedic short fiction, marketing advice that actually works, and funny personal development stories on my 10-year-old blog, tonysbologna.com.

The details:

In all seriousness, I’m a:

Best-selling author, humorist, senior copywriter, and small business owner.

Sorry for the mouthful.

All of the jobs I’ve ever had revolved around one thing: “Words.”

How to write them. How to say them, and how to use them to make connections. It has become my livelihood.

I started off my career doing something I never thought I would do, sales.

As someone who was shy, short, and soft-skinned, the constant rejection I faced during outside sales was perhaps the best therapist I ever had.

It turned an introvert into an extrovert. It made a weak man strong. It taught me about human nature and was the single best training for copywriting I ever had.

Over the course of my sales career, I’ve sold to hundreds of companies, been rejected thousands of times, and tallied up millions of dollars in sales. While I loved the thrill of selling and the people I met – I needed an escape. It was writing –the only way for me to make sense of the chaos.

I started writing comedy in 2015, and I haven’t looked back since. Once I learned you could get paid to sell through writing – I made the switch to copywriting- it was the best decision I ever made.

Chances are, you may have read and even thrown away my work. I’m the guy responsible for the junk mail from one of America’s largest companies.

Today, I’m a marketing manager and own a freelance copywriting business. But at my core, I’m the same guy I’ve always been –

A comedian at heart whose favorite thing is a well-timed joke or an ill-timed fart.

When writing, I focus on three main topics:

Stories to make you laugh.

Stories to help you live better.

Stories to make you more persuasive.

And sometimes all three at the same time 😉

At the end of the day, I’m trying to do the best I can with the tools I got, and I try to bring all facets of me to the paper… not just a specific niche.

My big dream is to make it as a fiction author, and I’d love to have you along for the ride.

That said, thank you so much for reading, I can’t tell you how much it makes my day.

You rock.

– Tony

  3. I agree, and the cook is the waiter’s mother standing over the stove with a cigarette hanging from her bottom lip yelling, “Tuck in your shirt for Chrissakes!” 😀

  9. Hi, I’m new at wordpress or blog and I think yours is nice! Can you tell me which theme you choose and how to hide relevant content? Because mine is rather rough and it shows all the content in each blog…

      2. My best advice is read what you write out loud and that way you can find the “voice” of the article. Also write in a style that amuses yourself.

  43. Hi man, thanks for stopping by! Question: What advice would you give to a young blog that wants to grow? Enjoyed reading your stuff for a while now, keep it up!

    Reply

    1. Dude thanks for stopping by – follow these two steps, 1) create entertaining content, 2) interact with people that would appreciate it . So for example, let’s say that you wrote about music, search for music and interact with everyone who likes to read about music
