“Success Still Working!” Copywriting

January 27, 2009

businesspenmanOn the Internet, and in sales letters, buyers can only rely on printed words. Unlike in real life where they can actually man their stores, answer queries personally, and establish rapport with people one-on-one through their pleasant disposition, online businessmen are restricted to written words in conveying their business messages… well that’s not entirely true.  – - As we all know, technology now allows us a broad range of influence mediums by which to introduce, inform and influence our visitors, but THAT is another lesson…

And they are restricted to written words when it comes to convincing their prospects to make some response. (Hence the name “Direct RESONSE” Marketing!)

Now, the internet, as many experts claim, is a sales page-driven industry. The success of a product depends on the strength of the sales page that is promoting it.

A lousy sales page (Too Long, Too Short, Poorly Written… etc) will mean the death of a good product match to a good buying audience. But a great sales page can even make an average product or solution a hot seller.

…oh the magic of marketing!

Because of this, successful commerce has become synonymous with excellent persuasion skills through written means. The art of writing persuasive marketing materials is called copywriting.

Copywriting is one of the primary skills that a businessman will have to master to make it big in the world of business regardless of your medium. (Live, In Writing and/or Online… etc)

Of course, many marketers would rather leave this task in the hands of professionals.

There are hundreds of effective, professional copywriters who are plying their trade on the all over the place. They have studied and trained for years in honing their craft to a fine razors edge cutting thought the marketing clutter to leave a deep and lasting impression. And as such, a majority of them may charge thousands of dollars for their services, an amount that can be considered as justifiable given the complexities of copywriting as a high level skill AND, of course, the RESULTS offered and produced!

As a business professional most will have to prepare many sales pages throughout their on and offline marketing careers.

Every product, service, solution, marketing campaign and outcome will likely necessitate well-written and persuasive copy. HECK, smart success professionals understand and ply this to every effective marketing piece going out he door… YES, even a powerful marketing solder such as a real “BUSINESS Card!” as apposed the ever-present Calling Card alone that most are familiar with that produce little discernable results!

PLEASE, Do NOT let this be YOU!

Every offer promoted via a Unique Selling Advantage (USA) will need a special well defined and refined effective set of copy!

Every mailing list, offer, JV, Affiliate (etc…) will need a well written info that will effectively persuade people to raise their hand and identify themselves or take some spacific ACTION/RESPONCE! –Marketing is indeed an effective copy-driven industry. (When Done Correctly and Most Profitably!) Because of this, every marketer will have to learn the rudiments of effective copywriting for each target audience.

 

NEXT we will look at ‘specifics’ including tools, resources and proven powerfully profitable insights for doing just that!

“It’s ‘Technically’ Success!” – (Technology & Business)

January 26, 2009

Two things:

ONE: As you know, (below) I have just started a series that will take us back to the basics. The foundations of our success are weakening and so I though that we could use a hearty reminder that the building blocks of success still work! (See Below and soon above…)

TWO: An interesting concept came up on one of the “other” BUSINESS Success Sites that I frequent that I though worthy of discussion here.

Of course I will NOT expose any of the confidences from that “Inner Circle” group of professionals but since it was I who raised the originating question regarding how our basic business paradigm and practices are ‘impacted’ by the internet and the emerging technology, I though I would ask this elite group of professionals that same question!

SO:
“How Has The Internet & Other Emerging Technologies Impacted (Good, Bad or Indifferent) Your Basic Business Paradigm and Practices??”

starbucks-ipod= Mobil iTechnology (Intelligent Phones, PDA’s… etc)
= The Internet Itself
= The Video Medias (u-Tube, Google Video, Vemo… etc)
= Social Networking (Facebook, MySpace, Plaxo, Linked-In, Twitter… etc)
= Audio Media
= Site Management Tools and Advancements
= Research and Analytics
= Blogging and all that goes with it…
= Tele-Tools (Conferencing, webinars… etc)
= POD (Print On Demand)
= Online communities… (Like The Dean’s List, Your University of Success…)
…etc

It has certainly impacted EVERYTHING for me, that is for sure!

SURE, the main-stay of my success is still in the re-elationship marketing and arts, but this technology has added (much to my early-on surprise!)  ALLOT to my own personal shifts in business as well as in my personal life… both BIG-TIME and I have not taken full advantage of even the basics yet!

A TON of this has impacted my business, social and daily routines…

What say YOU?

Discuss it HERE:
(It’s FREE, but PRICELESS!)

PS
Between Doctor appointments for my bride and our regional Fair Convention, (WFA – Western Fairs Association) I will be in and out this week, but this is an IMPORTANT discussion for all of us to have. – I WILL get the next part of our “Back To Business Basics that WORK!” discussion later-on tonight!

I know we have scattered and various techno-discussions, but they are melding together more rapidly AND effectively than ever before, so I though THIS would be a killer discussion.

REMEMBER, the question is:
“How Has The Internet & Other Emerging Technologies Impacted (Good, Bad or Indifferent) Your Basic Business Paradigm and Practices??”

…and GO! (Hehehehehe.)

“Whoo Hoo… This Success Stuff WORKS!”

January 25, 2009

GOOD NEWS:
“This Success Stuff Really WORKS!”

businessladieshappyI know this is no surprise to those of you who are regulars here, but it is nice to be reminded that when we do what works, real results follow.

It is important to remember that:
= A) It’s the new year and most evaluate what is working and plan to do MORE of that.
= B) The economic and social/economic and political leadership landscape has shifted.

 Neither of those are a ‘surprise’ to you, but I am just observing and commenting on what that seams to “mean” to different people and how all that effects you and your success!

The one thing that we all can agree on is that success (how-ever each define it) is something each one of us look at and try to improve over the course of our lives!

THAT, in part is the REASON we exist! To HELP you with PROVEN, Duplicatible, Success Solutions, Insights and Experiences to make your path to your success more direct and attainable!

ONE of the things that stints the basic marketing and outreach success results for most is not so much; “How Do I Make The Sale”, but rather, “How Do I GET Highly Qualified BUYERS To (Quote/unQuote) sell to!?” (In The FIRST Place!)

Yeah, I know we don’t really “sell” when we are being most “effective”, they are BUYINGBIG difference! I know you know this… just using the vernacular for simplicity.

Today, I will introduce you to the insights and experiences of the “How-To’s” of getting those elusive, and ever-so coveted “Highly Qualified Buyers” that we crave and NEED to grow our business success and help them to get what they want need and desire!

See… WIN! Win! Win!

Let’s start at the beginning… like this new year of doing thing RIGHT from the get-go… OK?

#1 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Copyrighting… the power of written persuasion:

You can sell anything… online, offline, from digital products to tangible goods, from actual items to services promised, from existing things to future work. There is no limit as to what can be sold through the many avenues of the World Wide Web and beyond.

But how can you sell them?

That, my friend, is the 64, Million Dollar Question.

There are many techniques and tactics that can be employed to sell your products to the global market that is united by the Internet, as well as the direct, personal communication, but there is only one common denominator to all these methods when it comes to generated interest and ultimately, Highly Qualified Leads To Real Buyers!

Online… offline both, you can use strategies that can generate 10,000 visitors of interest per day. But where will you lead those visitors to? You will want to direct them to a sales (effectively copy written information) page for the product or service you are offering.

This sales page has but one major purpose: to persuade your visitors to raise their hands and enter into the “process” with you and, of course, ultimately buy from you because You have the solution the serves them best!

…all together now; Whoo Hoo!

Tomorrow… we’ll get-stared by showing you HOW we do that!
