A Christmas Copywriting Gift

Dear Friends,

It's nearly Christmas, so here's a little gift.

If you write blogs, sales letters, email, articles, adverts, and other writings of interest to a group of people you're looking to infleunce...

... If you've ever wondered, marvelled, gaped in awe and amazement at how 'copywriting' can have such an effect, and, how you could pocket this profitable skill also, then, this blog post could be the post that helps you get on your way to true marketing and life success.

A BOLD statement?

Not really, because as with all things in life, there are a few fundamentals that if mastered, changes lives.

And, in copywriting -- the words you use in your marketing promotions -- there are a few simple, THOUGH ENORMOUSLY EFFECTIVE bits and pieces to put together.

With that in mind, I'm giving you the most important part of all copywriting to master. And, it's contained in a 7 part ad course delivered by email. I'm giving you the part of the course that says...

__________________________________________________________

"It's Just You And Me Talking... The Rest of The World Can Go To Hell!"

Have you ever opened a sales letter or any other type of promotional material and you've said to yourself,
"what on earth are they telling me... what's the bloody connection here... surely they can't be saying that... who the heck understands all that?"

Well, let me tell you that you're not alone in your thinking.

You see, the way we read, the way we write, the way we converse, stems all the way back when we were in school. We were told the PROPER way to write and understand English. We then add to the confusion in later life by reading and listening to the jargon and academic speak of professors, article writers,'traditional' advertising people who feel the need to 'educate' us about the sophistication of the English language.

Of course, little, if none of it has any real worth in the day today of communicating with each other. I mean, come on, who on earth talks to each other using words such as... Indestructibility... effervescence... revolutions... convolute...incumbent... petulance...

Well, okay, maybe intellectuals, academics, aristocrats... maybe...but pretty much on the whole, most of us talk okay, in a kind of chatty, friendly, sit around a cup of coffee type way,
don't you agree?

If that IS the case, and if you yourself agree that that's how you most likely talk, then doesn't it make sense that we
WRITE MARKETING COMMUNICATION AND BUSINESS PROMOTIONS IN THE WAY THAT WE MOST LIKELY SPEAK?

And, do you know what? I know this core message is troubling for a number of people.

Especially those who have been educated in a particular way...who have been told that they need an ADVANCED VOCABLUARLY in order to reach the top in life. In fact, a number of English teachers all round the globe will be jumping up and down in frustration and disbelief at the mere thought of written communication being littered with colloquialisms, chatty style writing and the breaking of a number of grammar rules.

But do you know something? As hard as I try, I'm hard pressed to find a really rich 'English' teacher! Now isn't THAT telling us something?

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING... I was literally blown away when just the other day, I saw a letter that had exactly 361 words on it, contained none of the pompous, intellectual, high brow language... but... was mailed in the millions, created a business that spawned 8 countries and made millions for the owners!

And the funny thing about that letter was I showed it to a number of advertising and marketing professionals and they universally scoffed at it, saying it was nothing more than a waste of space and that it was too simple and too basic.

There lies my point.

Communication in print or in any other form, needs to be sincere, warm, clear and absolutely devoid of the boredom factor. Of course, seeing their jaws drop open in pure astonishment when I showed them the documentary evidence, was a piece of pure magic that will stay with me till the day I drop.

Yes, for simple marketing solutions really do bring the most astounding of rewards.

In fact, if you want to put that last sentence to the test in your own business, here's what you should do: Find out who's the most successful sales person in your business (if you're the sole 'sales person' for your business, practice,consultancy, then you'll have to get someone else to help you with this exercise)... and eavesdrop on their client/customerconversation.

In fact, do more than that... record their conversation... and do it a number of times in order to capture the best selling conversation you can, whilst they're in full flow. Just capture it! Either get it on tape, video, mobile phone, whatever. Just record it. Then, what you do next is to simply transcribe that 'SELLING CONVERSATION' and create it in print.

You can remove all the unwanted ums and ers, references to the weather and the general chit chat, and then, what you'll be left with is the bare boned essence of a truly wonderful selling sales script, one that can be converted into a number of media formats... sales letters, websites, postcards, adverts, email promotions... you name the media, you'll have a basis to adopt adapt and apply the winning salesscript you have now created.

Would you like to know how publishers Boardroom Reports, A 100MILLION A YEAR BUSINESS, started out?

It started out EXACTLY the way I just handed out to you in this valuable section of your 7-part advertising course. It happened by simply taping a conversation between the owner MartyEdelston and a copywriter by the name of Gene Schwartz, and then transcribing it in print.

I hope you study it well, for it contains the seeds to propel yourbusiness like you won't believe. And... if you've hired people to create direct mail, Internet promotions, print ad promotions for you... then what you should do is hand them this section for them to develop ideas from!

In fact, you should hand over all of the sections in this advertising course to whoever creates your next promotion for you. Have them follow it. And... if they're not willing to follow it... FIRE THEM.

Truly!

You see, if all they do is poo poo any of this information, information that has been used to startling effect by the marketing masters of the past, and by savvy users of the present, then they should give you justifiable, practical reasons for dismissing it.

Though, as you will probably find out, the more one steers awayfrom the material contained in this Killer-Mini-Advertising-Course, the more the turmoil, the more the waste, the more the dissatisfaction one will experience.

I hope you're not willing to let that continue. Because if you are, your possible profits that are litterally, sitting on your table, will tumble off into the welcoming arms of... YOUR COMPETITIORS. Those very competitors who have stumbled onto these little known though highly effective strategies and techniques!

Would you like to know how to stitch together your own winning sales letter?

If so, you're in for a profitable treat. In the final part of this Killer-Mini-Advertising-Course, you'll get a working sales letter template that if adopted, applied and used for your unique business scenario, it'll cause a sudden surge of profit to happen for you the moment you decide to use it.

Have a glorious time ahead.
