An&lt;br /&gt;affirmation can be as simply as "YES!"...as uplifting as "I'm&lt;br /&gt;very happy at this moment!"...or as determined as "I'm willing&lt;br /&gt;to do whatever is necessary to succeed!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try it for yourself right now. Choose a positive message you&lt;br /&gt;want to tell yourself. Then stand up, put your head back, throw&lt;br /&gt;your arms up, and shout it out loud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makes you feel uncomfortable? Good! You've just discovered&lt;br /&gt;how powerful words can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlimited Success &amp; Wealth are All In the Words You Use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's the single most important asset you and your business&lt;br /&gt;possess? Forget money and numbers. The true currency of&lt;br /&gt;business is WORDS. Communicating your ideas, your offer, the&lt;br /&gt;benefits of your product -- using words to achieve your aims is&lt;br /&gt;the single most important activity any business ever performs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlimited success and wealth are as simple as using the right&lt;br /&gt;words. You can get everything you've ever wanted in life, simply&lt;br /&gt;by saying the right words -- because the words which you&lt;br /&gt;communicate determine the quality of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is true whether communicating with others or with yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Especially with yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Words have the power to induce someone to laugh, to cry, to be&lt;br /&gt;kind, to be loving, to be cooperative, or to buy. Or be unkind,&lt;br /&gt;angry, irrational.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether words are written or spoken, they have enormous power.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, when words are spoken, the added factors of voice&lt;br /&gt;timbre, emphasis, emotion...all have the potential to cause even&lt;br /&gt;more impact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use Words to Achieve a Win -Win Situation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is what few businesspeople seem to realize: People all over&lt;br /&gt;the world really want to help and accommodate their fellow&lt;br /&gt;humans. But they must be approached properly. The magic words&lt;br /&gt;I'll reveal to you in a moment can manipulate a situation to&lt;br /&gt;bring you what you want -- which isn't necessarily a bad thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magic Words Can Bring You Riches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same words, strategies and techniques that I've used to get&lt;br /&gt;the best results from everyday situation -- like hiring a&lt;br /&gt;Mercedes for the price of a Ford, slashing the cost of a first&lt;br /&gt;class hotel room, and buying valuable antiques at huge discounts&lt;br /&gt;-- can work magic for your business, too. Here are 3 of the&lt;br /&gt;phrases, which have helped me build a career marketing over&lt;br /&gt;$500,000,000 of both my own and my client's products and&lt;br /&gt;services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magic Phrase #1 -- Attract All the Money You Need for any&lt;br /&gt;business venture you'd like to start. The magic words here are&lt;br /&gt;"sophisticated investor." Every successful professional - such&lt;br /&gt;as a doctor or lawyer -- likes to think of himself or herself as&lt;br /&gt;sophisticated. And you can often attract these people to invest&lt;br /&gt;in your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Run an ad in your local paper, high-lighting those two key words.&lt;br /&gt;Other magic phrases to include are "Local business person with&lt;br /&gt;excellent track record and reputable history"; start-up business&lt;br /&gt;opportunity, limited investment, high potential return"; and&lt;br /&gt;"references available."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magic Phrase #2 -- Receive Free Expert Help for your business.&lt;br /&gt;Simply announce "I have a business problem and need expert&lt;br /&gt;assistance," either to a local business group (such as the&lt;br /&gt;Chamber of Commerce, which you have in practically every town)&lt;br /&gt;or putting an advertisement in the business section of your local&lt;br /&gt;newspaper. And I've been absolutely delighted with the quality of&lt;br /&gt;assistance provided to me on several occasions by retired&lt;br /&gt;executives. Seek them out in your local area, and you could&lt;br /&gt;benefit from this great source of experienced know-how, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magic Phrase #3 -- Get Capable People to Work for Free. Your&lt;br /&gt;magic words here are "piece of the action." Instead of paying a&lt;br /&gt;fixed salary, run ads offering people one of these options:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Hourly rate for services rendered&lt;br /&gt;* Percentage of sales&lt;br /&gt;* Percentage of profits&lt;br /&gt;* Royalty on sales&lt;br /&gt;* Percentage of savings&lt;br /&gt;* Fixed payment for each unit produce&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone with a strong entrepreneurial instinct will be attracted&lt;br /&gt;by such an approach. It means there will be no limit on their&lt;br /&gt;income, they will be more independent, they can set their own&lt;br /&gt;hours -- and the harder they work, the more they earn. This is&lt;br /&gt;just the type of person you should employ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assume The Other Person Has Already Said "Yes"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask questions which assume the end result you seek. For&lt;br /&gt;example, speaking with your bank manager about setting up a&lt;br /&gt;merchant account, you might ask these questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. "How long does it normally take for a credit card charge to&lt;br /&gt;be credited to my account?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. "What discount or percentage of credit card sales will the&lt;br /&gt;bank charge us for your service?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. "How long would it take to get the service in place?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. "What equipment do we need to buy to make it easier for your&lt;br /&gt;bank to process our orders?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you see how the end result -- having a merchant account so&lt;br /&gt;you can process the credit card orders - is assumed by the very&lt;br /&gt;words used in each question?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magic Words Deliver Power&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is especially true when you're speaking to yourself. As&lt;br /&gt;I said at the beginning of this letter, I use affirmations every&lt;br /&gt;day -- standing up, looking to the sky, throwing my hands in the&lt;br /&gt;air, and shouting out a positive message I need to tell myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I feel ridiculous when I do this too. But that discomfort&lt;br /&gt;is just the push I need to change my emotional state. The magic&lt;br /&gt;words in my affirmations give me the energy and determination&lt;br /&gt;I need to produce my very best work. And I truly believe&lt;br /&gt;they'll help you achieve your goals too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ted Nicholas, widely recognized as one of the greatest direct-&lt;br /&gt;marketing wizards of all time, is best-known for having earned&lt;br /&gt;24.5 million dollars on the sale of a single book that was primarily&lt;br /&gt;sold through direct mail. He is called the Five Hundred Million&lt;br /&gt;Dollar Man because he has marketed over $500 million worth&lt;br /&gt;of products in 49 different industries. Ted's newest book, &lt;a href="http://www.roibot.com/r_mw.cgi?IM10739_mwarttext1"&gt;"Magic&lt;br /&gt;Words That Bring You Riches"&lt;/a&gt; reveals 17 magic words that can&lt;br /&gt;make you a fortune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740205122219425580-4504552047039294362?l=moneywriting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/4504552047039294362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/4504552047039294362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/2006/12/discover-master-wordsmiths-secret-for.html' title='Discover a Master Wordsmith&apos;s Secret for  Turning Everything You Say into Wealth,Well-Being and Personal Success'/><author><name>belajarnulis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://freewebs.com/ternakuang/img/q_mejeng.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740205122219425580.post-8645950101043019341</id><published>2006-12-18T04:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-21T05:33:22.750-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='What do People Want Online?'/><title type='text'>What do People Want Online?

Whether it's for fun or work or something else, understanding&lt;br /&gt;a consumer's motives once he or she logs on is a necessity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the experts don't seem to agree on what people want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some folks see the web as a vast, new field for advertising&lt;br /&gt;messages, assuming that while people may want to do something&lt;br /&gt;else, if we can entice them with flash, we can sort of trick them&lt;br /&gt;into paying attention to our products and services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess what. That's not gonna happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other folks seem to subscribe to the notion that people online&lt;br /&gt;are looking for entertainment on the Internet, and therefore they&lt;br /&gt;construct messages aimed at persuading while playing. And,&lt;br /&gt;in other cases, the time-honored direct-response model wins out:&lt;br /&gt;Grab people when you can, get 'em to take an action, and then&lt;br /&gt;market, market, market. The answer may be that the consumer has&lt;br /&gt;and wants a lot more control than we give him/her credit for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, webmeisters are in control. Sort of. In a perfect&lt;br /&gt;cyberworld, people will be in control. Sort of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two recent studies shed light upon this dilemma. One was&lt;br /&gt;conducted by Zatso. The other was conducted by the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Pew&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Research&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Center&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;. Zatso and Pew. (Those guys didn't spend&lt;br /&gt;much time reading "how-to-name-your-company" books, I&lt;br /&gt;guess.) Still, both of their studies illuminated the answer as&lt;br /&gt;to what people want to do online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer, as most answers, is very utilitarian: People want to&lt;br /&gt;accomplish something online. They're not aimless surfers hoping&lt;br /&gt;to discover a cybertreasure. Instead, the average Net user turns&lt;br /&gt;out to be a goal-oriented person interested in finding information&lt;br /&gt;and communicating with others -- in doing something he or she&lt;br /&gt;set out to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the Zatso study. "A View of the 21st Century News&lt;br /&gt;Consumer" looked at people's news reading habits on the web. It&lt;br /&gt;revealed that reading and getting news was the most popular&lt;br /&gt;online activity after email. The guerrilla thinks, "That means&lt;br /&gt;email is number one. How might I capitalize on that?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One out of three respondents reported that they read news online&lt;br /&gt;every day, with their interests expanding geographically -- local&lt;br /&gt;news was of the most interest, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;U.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt; news the least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personalization was seen as a benefit, too. Seventy-five percent&lt;br /&gt;of respondents said that they wanted news on demand and nearly&lt;br /&gt;two out of three wanted personalized news. The subjects surveyed&lt;br /&gt;liked the idea that they, not some media outlet, controlled the&lt;br /&gt;news they saw. They feel they're better equipped to select what&lt;br /&gt;they want to see than a professional editor. Again, control seems&lt;br /&gt;to be the issue. Again, guerrillas think of ways to market by putting&lt;br /&gt;the prospect in control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Pew&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Research&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Center&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt; study revealed that regular net users&lt;br /&gt;were more connected with their friends and family than those who&lt;br /&gt;didn't use the Internet on a regular basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost two-thirds of the 3,500 respondents said they felt that&lt;br /&gt;email brought them closer to family and friends -- significant&lt;br /&gt;when combined with the fact that 91% of them used email on a&lt;br /&gt;regular basis. That's 91%. It took VCRs 25 years to achieve such&lt;br /&gt;market penetration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What did people in this study seem to be doing online when they&lt;br /&gt;weren't doing email? Half were going online regularly to purchase&lt;br /&gt;products and services, and nearly 75 percent were going online&lt;br /&gt;to search for information about their hobbies or purchases they&lt;br /&gt;were planning to make. Sixty-four percent of respondents visited&lt;br /&gt;travel sites, and 62 percent visited weather-related sites. Over half&lt;br /&gt;did educational research, and 54 percent were hunting for data&lt;br /&gt;about health and medicine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A surprising 47 percent regularly visited government web sites,&lt;br /&gt;and 38 percent researched job opportunities. Instant messaging&lt;br /&gt;was used by 45 percent of these users, and a third of them&lt;br /&gt;played games online. Even with all the hype in the media, only&lt;br /&gt;12 percent said they traded stocks online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this mean to e-marketers? It means that if you're&lt;br /&gt;constructing a site for goal-oriented consumers, you'd better&lt;br /&gt;make sure you can help facilitate their seeking. Rather than&lt;br /&gt;focus on entertainment, flash, and useless splash screens, the&lt;br /&gt;most effective sites are those that help people get the information&lt;br /&gt;they want when they need it. Straightforward data, information&lt;br /&gt;that invites comparison, and straight talk are going to win the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A client buddy of mine showed me his website which heralds his&lt;br /&gt;retail location and attempts to sell nothing online. He said it has&lt;br /&gt;been the biggest moneymaker in the history of his 35-year-old&lt;br /&gt;company. Then he apologized for its lack of glitter and special&lt;br /&gt;effects. He asked how his site could be so successful even&lt;br /&gt;though it lacked anything to add razzmatazz and dipsydazzle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, you know the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay Conrad Levinson is probably the most respected marketer in&lt;br /&gt;the world. He is the inventor of "Guerrilla Marketing" and is&lt;br /&gt;responsible for some of the most outrageous marketing campaigns&lt;br /&gt;in history -- including the "Marlboro Man" -- the most successful&lt;br /&gt;ad campaign in history. In his latest book, &lt;a href="http://www.roibot.com/r_mos.cgi?IM10739_mosarttext1"&gt;"Put Your Internet&lt;br /&gt;Marketing on Steroids"&lt;/a&gt; Jay reveals how you can use marketing&lt;br /&gt;steroids legally to make your business insanely profitable. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740205122219425580-8645950101043019341?l=moneywriting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/feeds/8645950101043019341/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740205122219425580&amp;postID=8645950101043019341' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/8645950101043019341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/8645950101043019341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/2006/12/what-do-people-want-online-its-not-what.html' title='What do People Want Online?

We all want an unfair advantage if the prize is appetizing&lt;br /&gt;enough. Olympic athletes took steroids before the anabolic drug&lt;br /&gt;was banned -- for the prize of a gold medal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you do for the prize of having an Internet business&lt;br /&gt;that is insanely profitable? I doubt that you'd do anything illegal...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... but if it were legal, you'd do almost anything, wouldn't you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the heck am I talking about, you ask? Here it is: Just&lt;br /&gt;when I thought I'd read every valuable book on marketing, Jay&lt;br /&gt;Conrad Levinson revives my amazement yet again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the fact that Jay has always been famous (and notorious)&lt;br /&gt;for his unconventional and revolutionary ideas, I shouldn't be&lt;br /&gt;surprised that he has pioneered yet another blockbuster concept:&lt;br /&gt;steroidal marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his new book, "Put Your Internet Marketing on Steroids,"&lt;br /&gt;Jay took the proven concepts of the world's most successful&lt;br /&gt;companies, and synthesized them into a new type of marketing&lt;br /&gt;that any Internet business can use to make mega-profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among other things, he shows you how to make your Internet&lt;br /&gt;business insanely profitable on a tiny marketing budget -- and&lt;br /&gt;use stealth tactics to snatch business away from your competitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those 2 things alone are well worth the cover price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somewhere along the way, I must have gotten pretty smug about&lt;br /&gt;Internet marketing because it took someone like Jay to give me a&lt;br /&gt;jolt in the head with his new arsenal of innovative strategies.&lt;br /&gt;He reveals things that most so-called marketing "gurus" don't&lt;br /&gt;even know -- but if they did, it would boost even their business&lt;br /&gt;by at least 30% to 40%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can you expect from the man who made "guerrilla marketing"&lt;br /&gt;a household word, and masterminded 3 out of the 10 most&lt;br /&gt;successful advertising campaigns of the 20th century (including&lt;br /&gt;the Marlboro Man, Green Giant, and Fly the Friendly Skies)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Put Your Internet Marketing on Steroids" is definitely a cyber&lt;br /&gt;treasure, and I recommend that you check out how Jay invented&lt;br /&gt;this amazing method of marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ask almost any successful entrepreneur what the best book is&lt;br /&gt;for building a small business, and one of Levinson's titles will&lt;br /&gt;surely come up."-- Entrepreneur Business Success Guide&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click here to check out insider secrets that even marketing&lt;br /&gt;heavyweights don't know:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay Conrad Levinson's latest ebook, &lt;a href="http://www.roibot.com/r_mos.cgi?IM10739_mosprtext1"&gt;"Put Your Internet&lt;br /&gt;Marketing on Steroids,"&lt;/a&gt; reveals how you can use marketing&lt;br /&gt;steroids legally to make your business insanely profitable. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740205122219425580-422275428901312171?l=moneywriting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/feeds/422275428901312171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740205122219425580&amp;postID=422275428901312171' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/422275428901312171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/422275428901312171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/2006/12/this-is-barely-legal-but-you-can-still.html' title='This is Barely Legal...

After we introduced ourselves,&lt;br /&gt;he got right to the point: "Our advertising isn't working and we&lt;br /&gt;need some help."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who I was talking to doesn't matter very much, because it could&lt;br /&gt;have been almost any of my prospects before they start working&lt;br /&gt;with me. That's because, statistically, most advertising doesn't&lt;br /&gt;work -- if by "work" you mean, bring in new business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about your own ads. Even if they already generate leads or&lt;br /&gt;create sales for you, don't you have the sneakin' suspicion they&lt;br /&gt;could be working a lot better?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two reasons why most ads don't work at all -- or if&lt;br /&gt;they work, why they deliver far less business than they could:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Most ads don't get the attention of your prospects. This is&lt;br /&gt;pretty basic. It is physically impossible for prospects to contact&lt;br /&gt;you unless they know about you, and if you're counting on them&lt;br /&gt;to find out about you from your advertising, then step one is&lt;br /&gt;for your ad to get your prospects' attention. Unfortunately, some&lt;br /&gt;ads actually do get attention, but…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. These ads get the attention of your prospect in the wrong&lt;br /&gt;way. For an ad to generate a qualified lead or create an&lt;br /&gt;immediate sale, it must start off on the right foot. That "right&lt;br /&gt;foot" sets the right tone and invites a qualified prospect to&lt;br /&gt;call you. I just saw an ad in Newsweek that still has me&lt;br /&gt;wondering what it's about and why someone spent tens of&lt;br /&gt;thousands of dollars on it. (Bet it wasn't their own money.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ad shows a boy on a bicycle flying through the air, out in&lt;br /&gt;the wilderness. The headline, in a semicircle, says, "They will&lt;br /&gt;always fall before they fly." Since I'm not a kid and I'm not a&lt;br /&gt;parent, it doesn't do much for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But wait -- even if I were a parent or a kid, I still don't think&lt;br /&gt;this ad is going to sell me on anything that would make&lt;br /&gt;the advertiser any money. If I were a kid, the only thing this&lt;br /&gt;ad could sell me on is taking these kind of risks to annoy my&lt;br /&gt;parents. And if I were a parent, the only thing I can imagine&lt;br /&gt;this ad would sell me on is making sure my kid never rides his&lt;br /&gt;mountain bike in hilly terrain -- since, obviously, the kid in&lt;br /&gt;the picture is on a collision course with certain death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've got to hand it to this ad in one department -- it's&lt;br /&gt;interesting. It got my attention. But that's as far as it got.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Headline's the Thing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's get off this negative track and look at some ads that I am&lt;br /&gt;certain are making money. These are not from a glossy national&lt;br /&gt;magazine, but small ads from today's local newspaper. (By the&lt;br /&gt;way, small ads that run in the newspaper are usually paid for by&lt;br /&gt;the person who wrote them. And these ads get to the point and&lt;br /&gt;are likely to be profitable. Hmmm...I wonder if I'm noticing a&lt;br /&gt;trend here...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I'm going to show you are the headlines of these ads. But I&lt;br /&gt;promise you, the headlines are all you need to see. Tell me if&lt;br /&gt;you can guess what each ad is about, and who its target market&lt;br /&gt;is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. "Lose 3-5 Pounds Per Week With the System Proven by Over&lt;br /&gt;90,000 Successful Patients"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. "Up to 40% Savings on Heating and Cooling Costs With a&lt;br /&gt;(Brand Name) Foam Roof"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. "Men and Women -- Remove Unwanted Hair Today!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I know what you're thinking. Not very clever. Not very&lt;br /&gt;hip. In fact, those headlines are downright boring!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm. I have two things to say about that. First, if you have&lt;br /&gt;tried everything under the sun to lose 40 pounds and you are&lt;br /&gt;frustrated to the point of tears, then headline number 1 isn't&lt;br /&gt;that boring to you. (And I would say the same regarding people&lt;br /&gt;in the target market for headlines 2 and 3.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second thing I want to say is, yes, and it's also pretty&lt;br /&gt;boring to stand in line at the bank waiting to make a large&lt;br /&gt;deposit into your business checking account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you know what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you've gotten past that boredom barrier, it's actually&lt;br /&gt;sort of nice. You know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here's some interesting news: A good headline on your ad&lt;br /&gt;will get you 90% of the way from the agony of defeat to the&lt;br /&gt;ecstasy of advertising success -- so you can deal with weighty&lt;br /&gt;issues like the boredom barrier and what to do with all that&lt;br /&gt;money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Garfinkel has been described as, "the world’s greatest&lt;br /&gt;copywriting coach." He’s a successful results-oriented copywriter&lt;br /&gt;and the author of &lt;a href="http://www.roibot.com/r_hl.cgi?IM10739_hlarttext2"&gt;Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;which shows you how proven money-making headlines&lt;br /&gt;customized for your business can increase your profits by 1700%&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740205122219425580-8685706681807701094?l=moneywriting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/feeds/8685706681807701094/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740205122219425580&amp;postID=8685706681807701094' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/8685706681807701094'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/8685706681807701094'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/2006/12/why-some-ads-fail-miserably-while_18.html' title='Why Some Ads Fail Miserably While Others Succeed Wonderfully'/><author><name>belajarnulis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://freewebs.com/ternakuang/img/q_mejeng.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740205122219425580.post-1876070307243464205</id><published>2006-12-08T06:46:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-13T06:12:03.163-08:00</updated><title type='text'>"Why Some Ads Fail Miserably While Others"</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:13;color:navy;"   &gt;"Why Some Ads Fail Miserably While Others&lt;br /&gt;Succeed Wonderfully"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:black;"   &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by David Garfinkel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:black;"   &gt;The voice on the other end of the phone was tense and impatient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a prospective client calling.

You know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here's some interesting news: A good headline on your ad&lt;br /&gt;will get you 90% of the way from the agony of defeat to the&lt;br /&gt;ecstasy of advertising success -- so you can deal with weighty&lt;br /&gt;issues like the boredom barrier and what to do with all that&lt;br /&gt;money.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740205122219425580-1876070307243464205?l=moneywriting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/feeds/1876070307243464205/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740205122219425580&amp;postID=1876070307243464205' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/1876070307243464205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/1876070307243464205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/2006/12/why-some-ads-fail-miserably-while.html' title='&quot;Why Some Ads Fail Miserably While Others&quot;'/><author><name>belajarnulis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://freewebs.com/ternakuang/img/q_mejeng.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740205122219425580.post-4045638016352683167</id><published>2006-12-08T06:45:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-15T23:06:04.793-08:00</updated><title type='text'>"The Hypnotic Power of Confusion"</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:13;color:navy;"   &gt;"The Hypnotic Power of Confusion"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:black;"   &gt;by Joe Vitale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:black;"   &gt;"Did you walk to work or carry a lunch?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father asked me that question more than 25 years ago. I&lt;br /&gt;still remember it. Why? Because it's a ridiculous question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A famous comedian in the 1950s used to ask people, "Got a&lt;br /&gt;banana?" The question might make sense if asked in the right&lt;br /&gt;situation, but he asked it everywhere. I've forgotten the name&lt;br /&gt;of the comedian, but I still recall his question. Why? Because&lt;br /&gt;it's strange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I write this, I am creating new business cards for myself. I&lt;br /&gt;decided to add a confusing line to it. After some fun&lt;br /&gt;brainstorming with my girlfriend, I settled on, "Ask me about&lt;br /&gt;the monkey."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is "Ask me about the monkey?" worth putting on my business&lt;br /&gt;card? As with my father's question and the comedian's question,&lt;br /&gt;it stops your brain in its tracks. It makes you pause. It makes&lt;br /&gt;you focus on ME. The theory is that once you stop someone with&lt;br /&gt;a confusing line, you can then implant a hypnotic command right&lt;br /&gt;after it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, if I write something like, "Apples desk fly dirt,"&lt;br /&gt;and then follow it with, "Read my new ebook," the chances are&lt;br /&gt;very high that you are going to want to read my new ebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Because the first line jammed your mind, and the second&lt;br /&gt;line slipped into your brain while you weren't looking. I've just&lt;br /&gt;upped the odds that you will buy my new e-book. And if you&lt;br /&gt;don't, of course, it doesn't matter because I never really told&lt;br /&gt;you to go buy it. See?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same thing will happen on my new business cards. Since I'm&lt;br /&gt;now known as "The World's First Hypnotic Marketer," I wanted a&lt;br /&gt;strange, confusing line on my new card. When someone sees, "Ask&lt;br /&gt;me about the monkey," and then asks me about the monkey, I can&lt;br /&gt;simply point out that I practice hypnotic selling and I just got&lt;br /&gt;them to do what I wanted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Japanese practice this "hypnotic confusion," but probably&lt;br /&gt;unknowingly. A friend of mine who flew to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:black;"   &gt;Japan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:black;"   &gt; reported to me&lt;br /&gt;that the English phrases on all the Japanese products were&lt;br /&gt;bizarre. A tube of toothpaste might say, "Green days you not&lt;br /&gt;sing." A box of cookies might say, "Wood above fish."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you use this secret right now? Don't be afraid to be&lt;br /&gt;confusing. People tend to sort out whatever you say anyway and&lt;br /&gt;make sense out of it using their own terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are describing your product in great detail, be willing to&lt;br /&gt;toss in something odd. It may increase sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If not, swirl up! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740205122219425580-4045638016352683167?l=moneywriting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/feeds/4045638016352683167/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740205122219425580&amp;postID=4045638016352683167' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/4045638016352683167'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/4045638016352683167'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/2006/12/hypnotic-power-of-confusion.html' title='&quot;The Hypnotic Power of Confusion&quot;'/><author><name>belajarnulis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://freewebs.com/ternakuang/img/q_mejeng.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740205122219425580.post-8371489495931104113</id><published>2006-12-08T06:43:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-08T06:43:57.342-08:00</updated><title type='text'>"3 Proven Ways to Make Your Newsletter Make"</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:13;color:navy;"   &gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;st1:street&gt;&lt;st1:address&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:13;color:navy;"   &gt;3 Proven Ways&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:address&gt;&lt;/st1:street&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:13;color:navy;"   &gt; to Make Your Newsletter Make&lt;br /&gt;You Money Today"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;by Mark Joyner&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may or may not already manage your own email newsletter&lt;br /&gt;(AKA "eZine" - short for "email Magazine").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do, this article will help you to make more money with it&lt;br /&gt;today - no matter how big your list is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't, read this to learn why you should begin building&lt;br /&gt;a subscriber list immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you surely already know, your newsletter is a must have&lt;br /&gt;key to your success online. I don't care what you do - not&lt;br /&gt;building and maintaining an email newsletter is suicidal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, everyone knows that much and you will hear many speak&lt;br /&gt;these same words - but you rarely here folks talk about the real&lt;br /&gt;value of your list. That is, how do you use it to really make money?&lt;br /&gt;What I'm about to show you applies to...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Educate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All Links are Not Created Equal." This is a phrase I&lt;br /&gt;coined in my marketing course years back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea here is that the state of mind of your customer&lt;br /&gt;when leading to your site is crucial in determining whether&lt;br /&gt;or not he will buy. This is a natural extension of what&lt;br /&gt;salesmen call "qualifying". That is, you need to determine&lt;br /&gt;before wasting your time, whether the prospect is ready&lt;br /&gt;to go or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty basic salesmanship 101 stuff here. How does it&lt;br /&gt;apply to your newsletter?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, chances are, your prospects don't even realize that&lt;br /&gt;they need your product or service. What may be obvious&lt;br /&gt;to you, may be totally unknown to your prospect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your newsletter can be used to educate your prospects&lt;br /&gt;about the value of your product or service. That is, they&lt;br /&gt;don't know they need it - so educate them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ad educated prospect will come to your site "pre-qualified"&lt;br /&gt;and ready to be sold. He knows he needs what you've got.&lt;br /&gt;All he needs now is a little nudge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Endorse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the content of your newsletter is good, and not just a&lt;br /&gt;sales pitch, over time you will gain the respect of your&lt;br /&gt;readers. Once you've gained their respect, they will be&lt;br /&gt;more likely to listen to what you have to say (they are&lt;br /&gt;pre-qualified to receive your opinion - see how this all fits&lt;br /&gt;together?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you recommend a product or service to them, they&lt;br /&gt;will arrive at the sales site for that product or service pre-&lt;br /&gt;qualified and ready to buy. Your opinion means a lot and&lt;br /&gt;will go a long way on the path of making the sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The application of this concept to affiliate programs is&lt;br /&gt;quite obvious - just endorse the products you are offering,&lt;br /&gt;right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if you are selling a product or service of your own?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've read my course you remember the concept of&lt;br /&gt;the "Internet Marketing Battle Plan". The 5th and final&lt;br /&gt;tactic in your Battle Plan is "Working the Back End".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you've sold your product to your customer, continue&lt;br /&gt;to sell related products to that customer as long as you&lt;br /&gt;can. These don't have to be your own products - they can&lt;br /&gt;be products from other companies selling related products...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heck, they can even be your competitors!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use the power of your endorsement for these products to&lt;br /&gt;sell like crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Endorse and Educate and you will always send pre-qualified&lt;br /&gt;and excited prospects to your sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Automate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you manage your newsletter by hand? Or is the tool you&lt;br /&gt;are using to manage your newsletter unreliable and difficult&lt;br /&gt;to use?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If so, properly automating your newsletter will make you money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's simple. Automation of your newsletter management will&lt;br /&gt;save you time and spare you the mental anguish of having&lt;br /&gt;to worry about your list. In the end you'll have more time&lt;br /&gt;and mental energy to apply to your other projects. Or, if&lt;br /&gt;you're lazy, it might just give you some extra time in front&lt;br /&gt;of the tube!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way, you want to make sure that your automation&lt;br /&gt;solution for your newsletter: a. Is highly configurable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You want it to be able to grow and change as you grow&lt;br /&gt;and change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b. Is reliable and located in a trusted spot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can only guess what happens to your newsletter when&lt;br /&gt;it's hosted on a remote site, or when it's managed by scripts&lt;br /&gt;you don't understand. A solution you run locally solves this&lt;br /&gt;problem by putting you in control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c. Handles subscribe and unsubscribe requests efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will save you hours of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d. Can schedule and automate the mailing of your newsletter.&lt;br /&gt;What if you go on vacation or have a family emergency?&lt;br /&gt;Does you business stop? Of course not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It simply can't. You need a management tool that can run&lt;br /&gt;things while you're gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TIP: ROIbot Newsletter Server is a new tool that handles all&lt;br /&gt;of the above quite nicely. You can learn about &lt;a href="http://www.roibot.com/r_r.cgi?IM10739_roiarttext1"&gt;by clicking here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apply the above techniques today and I promise you will&lt;br /&gt;immediately begin making more money as a result of your&lt;br /&gt;newsletter marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just remember to always test everything you try every step&lt;br /&gt;of the way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740205122219425580-8371489495931104113?l=moneywriting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/feeds/8371489495931104113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740205122219425580&amp;postID=8371489495931104113' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/8371489495931104113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/8371489495931104113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/2006/12/3-proven-ways-to-make-your-newsletter.html' title='&quot;3 Proven Ways to Make Your Newsletter Make&quot;'/><author><name>belajarnulis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://freewebs.com/ternakuang/img/q_mejeng.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740205122219425580.post-3591765220537318778</id><published>2006-12-08T06:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-08T06:42:49.031-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My 3 "Must Use" Secrets for Big Fat Subscriber Lists</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:13;color:navy;"   &gt;"My 3 "Must Use" Secrets for Big Fat Subscriber Lists"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:13;color:navy;"   &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Give the Subscriber a *Reason* to Subscribe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several psychological studies have demonstrated that giving&lt;br /&gt;someone a reason to comply to your request will greatly&lt;br /&gt;increase their chances of compliance. And the reason&lt;br /&gt;doesn't even have to be good! Amazingly, just using the word&lt;br /&gt;"because" will increase your response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Really "Sell" the Content of Your Newsletter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People don't know whether your newsletter contains pure&lt;br /&gt;junk or gold. You could have the greatest, most informative&lt;br /&gt;newsletter in the world - if you don't *tell* them, they will never&lt;br /&gt;know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, here's the key. You don't want to tell them yourself&lt;br /&gt;"my newsletter is the best". No one will believe you. The&lt;br /&gt;best way to let people know how great you are is to have&lt;br /&gt;someone else tell them for you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should get a testimonial or two about the content of&lt;br /&gt;your newsletter and use this to "sell" the content of your&lt;br /&gt;newsletter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Provide an Incentive to Subscribe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many people offer a free newsletter? No one can know&lt;br /&gt;for sure, but I'll tell you that the answer is: "too many"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is *unique* about what you offer? If you tie your&lt;br /&gt;subscription into being able to access something unique,&lt;br /&gt;I promise your subscriber rate will go through the roof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you offer a free service? Can you offer a free download?&lt;br /&gt;A free (and unique!) report? Access to some exclusive information?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generate curiosity in your potential subscriber. People are&lt;br /&gt;inherently curious and it is painful when curiosity is not&lt;br /&gt;satisfied. Set it up so subscribing to your newsletter is the&lt;br /&gt;only thing they can do to satisfy that curiosity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let's put this all together. Here is an example of a&lt;br /&gt;"call to subscribe" you can use that puts all three principles&lt;br /&gt;together.

Any monkey could do it, as long&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; as said monkey can type. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; If you're like me, you'll probably want another example. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Stop! Did you notice that "If you're like me..." is one of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Larry's hypnotic lines? It is. It's in this book. My monkey mind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; found it and used it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; And "Stop!" is from his book, too. I saw it and tossed it into&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; the above paragraph. Made you look, didn't it? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Here's a fact for you: Any man, woman, child or monkey can flip&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; through these pages and find words, phrases, and complete&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; sentences to help them lead and control the minds of their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; readers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Hey! Did you catch what I did? The phrase "Here's a fact for&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; you..." is also from Larry's collection. It's a way to assume&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; logic without having any. It works. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; And did you notice that "Hey!" grabbed your mind? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; It, too, is from this collection. It's a powerful yet simple&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; tool for practically yelling out your reader's name in a crowded&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; room. It GRABS attention. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Are you beginning to see how you can use this material? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Think about making use of this collection of hypnotic material&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; and you'll begin to feel real power. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; And did you notice that "Think about making use of..." is yet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; another golden nugget from Larry's book? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Yes, a monkey with typing and reading skills just might be able&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; to write a good letter with this amazing collection of tried and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; true hypnotic words and phrases. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; But more importantly, since YOU are smarter than any monkey, by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; the time you finish reading this material you will be able to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; take these words and phrases and weave them into hypnotic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; letters and ads that get people to act on your commands and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; suggestions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Stop! Note "by the time you finish reading..." is ALSO from&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Larry's priceless bag of tricks! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Can you see why I'm so excited! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; As you study every word of this book you will become amazed at&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; how easy it will be for you to start writing your own hypnotic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; material. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; (I can't resist. "As you study every word of this book you will&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; become..." is also swiped from Larry's collection. This is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; becoming way too easy.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; But let me confess something: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; (Yes. "Let me confess..." is a hypnotic phrase.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; When Larry wrote to me and said he compiled this material, I was&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; angry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; ("I was angry..." is from this collection, too.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; I wanted to be the author of these gems. I even offered to help&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; add more gems to the package if Larry would let me be co-author.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; He agreed, but I could barely think of anything to add! Larry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; already did the work---and did it very well! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; The further you read into this collection, the more you will&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; realize why professional copywriters always have "swipe files."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; They use them for inspiration. In this case, Larry has done ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; the leg work for you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; ("The further you read into this..." is from his swipe file.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Remember when you were in high school, and you cheated to get a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; passing grade? Admit it. You did, at least once. Well, this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; collection is your cheat-cheat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; ("Remember when you were in high school..." is swiped from this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; book, too. Do you see how easy it is to write with this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; collection at hand? It's so easy I feel silly accepting money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; for writing material like this for clients. But not THAT silly.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; Have you noticed yet that I began with no idea of how to write&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; this article and now, with the help of Larry's collection, have&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; written a very interesting and maybe even hypnotic piece? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; ("Have you noticed yet that..." is from this fantastic swipe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; file, too.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; So here you are. You're holding dynamite. Do you light it and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; throw it in a field to watch the dirt blow up, or do you light&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; it and throw it where you know lay hidden gold? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; FACT: The choice is yours. Use this material wisely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; ("FACT" is swiped, too.)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740205122219425580-8472431472440107445?l=moneywriting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/feeds/8472431472440107445/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740205122219425580&amp;postID=8472431472440107445' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/8472431472440107445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740205122219425580/posts/default/8472431472440107445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moneywriting.blogspot.com/2006/12/story-of-hypnotic-writing-monkey.html' title='The Story of the Hypnotic Writing Monkey'/><author><name>belajarnulis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://freewebs.com/ternakuang/img/q_mejeng.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
