by Karon Thackston © 2005 .copywritingcourse.com Under normal circumstances, you’d shout it from the rooftops. After all, when you have something urgent to say, you want others to know about it, right? But when it comes to “limited time only” offers, lately I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. Copywriters seem to actually be hiding the phrase! Let me give you some examples. I received a fabulous email from a ladies clothing site at which I like to shop. It was for 50% off my entire purchase of anything on their site (clearance items or regular price). Wahoo! What woman wouldn’t love that? Trouble is, I almost missed the deal due to procrastination. Like most busy women, I was going to go to the site and shop… later. However, I happened to notice, way down at the bottom of the email in tiny, little type, that the sale ended in two days. Why would they think the phrase “Limited time only - sale ends Friday, July 15, 2005 at midnight” was insignificant? When I saw that phrase, I immediately zipped over to the site and began bargain hunting. (Found some fantastic deals, too!) Here’s another example. As I was sitting at a fast food restaurant eating lunch, I was fiddling with the paper “tent” ads on the table. One was for a new salad (nope, not in a healthy mood) and one was for strawberry cheesecake. That sounded good, but I was almost finished with my sandwich and fries so I really didn’t have room. I wasn’t going home so I couldn’t take it to go. I thought I’d just pick up a slice the next time I ate at this place until I saw - at the very bottom of the ad in teeny, tiny type - the “limited time only” phrase. I know this restaurant. They bring new, test items in and out all the time. If they said, “Limited time only,” I knew they meant it. Chances are (since I didn’t get to eat at this restaurant often) I wouldn’t get to try their cheesecake. If I had known it was a limited time offer, I would have ordered a slice before I got full. Don’t Play Games With Limited Time Offers Make a point to let customers know they have to act fast, or they’ll miss out. The fear of being left out or left behind is a basic human motivator that can be triggered pretty easily. The trick is to actually let your customers know an offer is limited in some way. Here’s how to create a powerful limited time offer. Things go on sale all the time, so if you’re selling clothing or food or office supplies, you might have limited time offers that end simply because the sale date has past. However, if there is a reason your offer is limited (limited supply of items, testing a new item, etc.), tell the customer. This can actually increase the sense of urgency. Make your offer credible. How do you do that? By sticking to your word. If you say an offer will end on a certain date, end it or give a darn good reason for extending the offer. If customers see that you continually tout “limited time offer,” but keep the discount running past the deadline, you’ll lose credibility and sales. Give a reasonable deadline. Customers need time to act. Car manufacturers run incentive offers for a month or longer in part because of the high cost of vehicles and the need for arranging financing. The online clothing site I mentioned earlier set its deadline at two days (customers could easily click over to their site and shop immediately). Depending on the item, the purchasing medium and whether there is a need for financing or such, you can adjust your deadline to whatever works best for you. When your customers understand you’re making an offer that will expire shortly, they are motivated to act now, rather than later. If you give them a good enough reason not to procrastinate, you can see a major surge in sales. Urgency is never something you want to hide in your copy. Copy not getting results?

You just finished writing a new article that your target customers will love. Your introduction is strong, and keeps the readers wanting to read more, you provide a lot of useful tips in the article, and you end with an encouragement for the readers to use your tips in their life or business. All in all, a great article. Is your work done? Not at all. You still haven’t written a very important part for your article - the resource box. A resource box is what comes right after the article, the 2-4 sentences that include your bio and a link back to your business web site. The article’s resource box is your only chance to convert the article reader into a lead for your business. This is why it is extremely important to make your resource box as effective as possible. Here is what you should include in your resource box: - Information about you, the author. The first sentence in your resource box should introduce you to the reader. After all, your readers can’t do business with someone they don’t know. You don’t need to share your whole biography, but sharing a few tidbits about what you do will help your article readers get to know you just a bit better. - A free resource that the reader can subscribe for or request from you. Your article resource box is a great place to offer your readers a free e-course, newsletter or special report, to get them further exposed to your expertise. You want to be able to keep in touch with your article readers long after they have read your article. Make sure you make them a great offer in order to be able to keep in touch. - Call to action. Tell your reader how to get your free resource, bonus or free gift. Use phrases such as subscribe to the newsletter, register for e-course, get a free gift, to get the readers to look at more of your resources. Over to you - let’s take action! Take a look at your own article resource box, and see how you can make it more appealing to your article readers. Remember, the more compelling the resource box is, the more leads you will gain for your business.

The Reluctant Writer by Pamela White Since the age of 9, I’ve been a writer. I wrote secret stories, secret newsletters, and secret novels about solving mysteries with Nancy Drew during my first year of writing. I loved telling a story, dreaming up new ideas, places and people, and rereading what I had written. I just never wanted anyone else to read it. A few decades later, I was chatting on a message board for writers about how I struggled to send my writing out. I still submitted regularly but it was an excruciatingly difficult step for me to take…and I did take it, week after week. I hated that sharing my words made me feel so vulnerable. One woman wrote me back, not with advice, but with such joy in her tone. She told me she wished I could be in her writing group. Then I’d know that writing wasn’t hard but only exhilarating and wonderful, easy and something anyone could do. I dropped off the list. While I’ve not found a way to make it perfectly easy to share my writing with the world, I have learned a new skill set that has pushed me forward, even as I wanted to retreat back into my shell. Thanks to some coaching, some tears, and lots of meditation (not medication!) I now write regularly, love to send it out for publication and cheer myself on as I cash the checks. So for all the other reluctant writers hiding out there, I want to share the steps that have worked for me plus advice from writer friends. 1. Ask the all-important question: “What’s the worst that could happen?” Basically, it’s a rejection letter or perhaps total silence. Yes, it might hurt, but the person who chooses not to publish your short story doesn’t know you so don’t take it personally. It may feel personal, but it isn’t. And, believe it or not, this editor will forget your name out of all the submissions received over the following year and will not hold your previous unwanted submission against you when reading your future submissions. 2. Plan ahead. I learned this from a coach. I hired her to guide me through cleaning out my home, but ended up learning how to boost my writing. Sit down on a Sunday evening and think about what you want to write about. Make an educated guess about how long it will take to write the introduction, short story, entire article or book outline. If you think it will take three hours, then pick a day that week when you will have three free hours to work on it. If you pick Tuesday at 8 a.m., then organize your work space the night before. Make sure you have your address/phone book, pens and pads of paper, resource books, email addresses and anything else you need to be successful. Most important, keep your appointment to write that you’ve set with yourself. 3. Set a deadline. If you have trouble getting a free hour or two in the midst of your busy life and missing your self-imposed appointment to sit and write your article on Tuesday morning would make you feel worse than if you’d never made a plan, try another approach. Set a deadline for Friday at 8 p.m. each week to write 1000 words in your novel. This allows you to snatch at free minutes or work during a surprise nap (one that your child is taking, not you) throughout the week. 4. If you have too many ideas and too little time to write them all out, engage a friend or spouse to help you decide which one is the first project. Have your friend ask you, “Which one feels like it would be the most fun?.” “Which one would give you the biggest pay off (in terms of money, happiness, publicity)?” “Which one have you done the most prep on?” If you keep picking the same topic, then clearly that’s the one you should begin with. If you’re still having trouble writing with abandon, then make an appointment for an uninhibited free-writing session. Pull out your notebook, and, at the top of a page, write “What is keeping me from coming out of hiding?” Then let yourself write for ten minutes, or three pages, or until you find yourself explaining why you feel a need to continue to hide your writing. Then recognize that while your writing makes you feel vulnerable and that it is hard for you to write your truth, it would be more painful not to.

The recent flap about James Frey’s A Million Little Pieces has hit the media with a big bang, bringing the age-old debate about what is acceptable when writing memoir–a “real” story. Every time a memoir is released that gains media attention this debate is raised. Mary Karr, The Liar’s Club, Jennifer Lauck, Blackbird, and Vivian Gornick, Fierce Attachments, all defended their memoirs in various medias, and all said that some recreations of actual reality had to occur in order to write the story and make it interesting. As a memoir teacher, I find that people are very worried about the ethical issues involved in memoir writing. For example, the writers ask such questions as, “what if I don’t remember the exact conversation when my mother died,” or “I don’t know what clothes I was wearing the day my father went away forever.” I am always moved by these innocent, caring questions, because the writer is trying very hard to be truthful and accurate, and not leave any room to be accused of dishonesty. In my memoir Don’t Call Me Mother I researched the time the train arrived in Perry, Oklahoma to make sure the scene I was painting and the conflict with my grandmother about how long she’d kept my father waiting at the train station–three hours! was accurate. My memory told me it was a long time, but finding the time of scheduled arrival made me feel great–memory was not all I was drawing upon to create a story that would be taken seriously as “real.” In fact, when I began writing the stories that eventually turned into my memoir, I was calling it “fiction,” but the writing group challenged me about how unrealistic it was that a mother would act the way my mother acted, and that my grandmother was portrayed as “too over the top,” thus unbelievable. My answer was, “but it was all true.” Their response: “It doesn’t matter what is true in fiction, but it does for memoir.” I realized that the power of the story I was going to tell was that it was true, and I did my best to recreate scenes that delivered the truth. Naturally, childhood memory is subjective, any memory is subjective, but over the years, as I talked with people who knew parts of the story and visited locations where the story took place, I discovered that indeed I had remembered very well, and I had not made things up in my mind. However, I am sure that if my grandmother and mother were alive to challenge what I wrote, they would have another point of view. In order to reach out to the reading public and go beyond private journaling, a memoir writer must create a story that has a shape, drama, and story arc. This may mean constructing a scene that conflates time, or adds costumes to our characters that they may or may not have worn, but our job is to be as accurate and as honest as we can be. If we change the plot of our lives because another plot would be more interesting to the publisher, we are in the realm of fiction. If we say we had relationships we didn’t have because it would make a better story, we need to call it fiction. A memoir writer needs to write a first draft that sifts through the happenings, feelings, and challenges and get them down on the page–a draft that is healing and purging–and important work. Publishing is another stage. The writer must ask many questions of the work–how much to include, what is the shape of the book, and how to write it so others can identify and understand. What to say about James Frey? None of us can know for sure what went on for him as he constructed his book, and what he remembered. On January 15, Mary Karr wrote a piece in the New York Times about memoir writing and she had this to say, “Call me outdated, but I want to stay hamstrung by objective truth, when the very notion has been eroding for at least a century. When Mary McCarthy wrote ‘Memoirs of a Catholic Girlhood’ in 1957, she felt obliged to clarify how she recreated dialogue. In her preface, she wrote: ‘This record lays a claim to being historical - that is, much of it can be checked. If there is more fiction in it than I know, I should like to be set right.’” Mary went on to talk about how much she learned, and how healing it was when she didn’t make passages in her book more “interesting” or shape them into a slightly different story. “If I’d hung on to my assumptions, believing my drama came from obstacles I’d never had to overcome - a portrait of myself as scrappy survivor of unearned cruelties - I wouldn’t have learned what really happened. Which is what I mean when I say God is in the truth.” What a great idea–as we write memoir we are reaching for something beyond our conscious selves. In the river of creativity and the search for truth, there are forces beyond us moving us along to a place we didn’t even know about, a place of healing and resolution. We can hope that James Frey also has found, or is finding, a resolution for his suffering, and that all memoir writers do the same, by wrestling with what truth is, and writing it out with a full voice.

There’s a lot of content on the internet. It’s literally everywhere and inescapable. The internet revolves around information, both good and bad. Most of the searches people perform on the internet are for information. Google loves new, fresh content, but Google is not a real person. It is important to proof read your online writing for others that read your content. There’s a major problem today with the amount of information being posted on the World Wide Web. I’m not talking about the misleading and downright false information you find. Yes, that’s a problem, but there’s an even bigger problem with the amount of good and viable information that is out there. People just don’t take the time to proof read their online writing before they post it for everyone to see. Not only is this practice bad for your business but also bad for reputation. Here’s an example of what I mean. You write a fantastic article, one that would benefit others with the knowledge you provide. The problem is you lacked the effort to proof read what you wrote before you decided to submit it to article directories. If your article is accepted, and I would be surprised if it is, then it is read by hundreds if not thousands of people. That’s what you want, though. To get your online writing read by lots of people and have them click through your links in the resource box. Well, your readers might not ever get that far if they can hardly even read it. Between the spelling and grammar errors and poor punctuation, there’s a really good article. Not too many people are going to bother reading an article they can hardly understand and will quickly click off your article. The same goes for your website or blog. I’m sure by now you can see the bigger picture. Yes, there is a bigger picture here. It’s not just about people not reading your articles, website or blog. It’s about your business and reputation on the internet. You could be damaging your online image without even realizing it. Oh, I have your attention now? Good. If you’re like me, you value what other people’s opinions are of you. You like to keep a certain professional image, especially if you have an online business. Here’s the most startling fact. Most people are completely unaware that there is anything wrong with their online writing. Non-English speaking people have an even more difficult time with this, which is understandable. They don’t know any better, and the software that is supposed to help proof read and correct their online writing just isn’t good enough. You can never replace an actual person with software when it comes to writing effectively. I’ve seen actual results, and they just don’t cut it. This makes the writer’s job that much harder to catch their own mistakes. If they don’t know that it’s wrong, how can they fix it? It can become very frustrating. However, there is a solution. There are many freelance proof readers available for people that lack the ability to write in an effective and error free manner. About the Author Alan Mater is a certified proof reader and offers professional proofreading services for individuals and businesses that require a professional approach to their writing. Alan is also an online business owner and provides work from home opportunities for people who have an interest in earning money online.

For many authors just starting out, it can be a confusing and overwhelming decision whether to self publish a book or to seek out a traditional publishing house. It is important to know that the decision you make can have a huge impact on the success, or the failure, of your book. There are many factors to consider, and the right decision is going to be different for every author and for every book. Here are just a few key factors and publishing tips to help you make the decision of exactly how to publish a book: Time: When seeking a traditional publishing house to publish your book, you will soon discover that the book will be published according to the publisher’s timeline. Publishing houses have a set production mandate and books are scheduled for publication far in advance. Often, books are signed on for publication one to three years before they are actually published. When you self publish, the only timeline restricting the publication of your book is your own. You can take years to publish a book if you so choose. Or, if you work incredibly hard, you can have your book out on the market within months. You can take as much or as little time as you want or need to publish your book. Control: If you sign your book on with a publishing house, you must understand that it is now the publisher’s book. As a new author you will likely be conceding to the wishes of the publisher when it comes to book title, design and cover. Also be aware that the responsibility of promoting and marketing the book will fall on your shoulders as well once the publisher has finished an initial, brief promotional push. When you self publish a book, YOU are the publisher. This means you are solely responsible for coordinating the entire production of the book. You must find an editor, a designer, a distributor, a publicist, etc. When you self publish, you are forming your own publishing house and you are now in the business of publishing. You maintain all control and you publish the book the way you want to publish it. Profit: A publishing house signs books under the agreement of payment by advance and royalties. You will be paid a small sum of money up front as an advance on sales, and subsequently you will receive royalties once sales grow over and above your advance. Royalties are usually very small for new authors and are often as low as 5% of selling price. Profit is definitely the biggest argument in favor of self publishing. If you self publish, the profits from your book sales are 100% yours. If you are willing to work hard to market and promote your book, you will reap the benefits of the sales. If you research carefully, plan properly and execute the right marketing strategy, there is no limit to the profit you can earn from your book sales. As with any other business, you must properly research and plan to fully understand how to publish a book in order to be successful. If you publish the right way, the potential for success and profit is infinite. © Copyright 2004 Ink Tree Ltd.

The easiest Way to Create Articles! Public Domain! There are many webmasters that find writing articles for their site to be a very tedious task. Many people who need to write articles also procrastinate as much as they can to delay the amount of writing they need to do. Many people dread writing articles because they find researching for the topic and writing down original materials will be too taxing on them. You need to have your creative juices flowing and simply downloading an article would be plagiarism or tantamount to stealing, not exactly. Have you ever heard about public domain? These are articles written down by many authors that have declared their works to be public domain, which means anybody can use it for whatever purpose they want. While most authors would prefer to copyright their work for their rights, there are also a number who doesn’t mind sharing their work. Public domain articles are not owned by anybody and can be used and abused by anyone. The writers have waived their rights to their works and it is out there for the public to make use of. You can use public domain articles in helping you write your articles. With the public domain articles you can simply edit them to your own style and rewrite them as you please to make it suitable for your needs. All the ideas are there already and its just a matter of finding the write article with the topic or subject you need. This is probably the easiest way to write articles. You don’t need to scour around the library or the internet for hours for information and start an article from scratch. For webmasters who are looking for articles to fill their site and to generate a high ranking for their website in search engine results, they can just modify the article by infusing keywords and keyword phrases related to their site. A webmaster or website operator do not risk any chance of getting sued for copyright infringement because they are public domain, once again meaning that anybody can use it. Writing articles by using public domain wont require as much work as writing one from scratch would. You save a lot of time also. One good factor in using public domain articles for your site or for any project is that you save a lot of money. You dismiss the need to hire experienced and seasoned writers that some website operators use to write their articles. While a single five hundred worded article would only set you down 10 to 15 dollars, this cost will drastically increase when you need hundreds of articles to fill the needs of your site. For those who needs articles to generate newsletters or an e-zine, public domain articles will be very beneficial. You do not need to count on your contributors or pay writers to write down articles for your newsletter or e-zine. You can fill all the pages without any cost or the worry of being sued and sought after by the writers. You can simply copy the articles and place them on your newsletter and e-zine. Public domain articles are a virtual untapped resource that many people fail to realize the true value. The power of articles, keywords and keyword phrases have been deemed invaluable these past few years for many internet based businesses and sites that want to rank high in search engine results. The number of article and content writers have grown significantly due to the rise in the demand for articles. As newer and newer topics and subjects have arisen, there are many demands for new articles to be written. An industry has been formed and this is a worldwide demand. Public domain articles have given a great alternative for those who are cash strapped as well as do not have the time nor the skills to do their articles for themselves. Searching for public domain articles is as easy as 1; 2; 3. You can search for them in search engines and do searches in many directories for the topic or subject that you need. Read them and simpy copy paste them to a word processing program and simply edit them to suit your needs. If you have any questions please contact us .Amintas.com or mailamintas.com.

Writing an essay is a task common in schools. Aside from schools, essay writing is also done in the real world like in workplaces where writing is a common part of business transactions. It is a sad fact however that a number of students and people in this planet are not good at writing essays. To offer relief to those who are not good at writing essays, here are five handy tips you can follow to submit a great essay to your teacher or boss. 1. Create a title page in your essay project To infuse energy in writing an essay, it would be best that the person tasked to do the writing task should create a title page on top. The title page will allow you to write things in accordance to your title and keep the flow of ideas in order. Do not worry about the things you wrote since you can still get back and edit it later. Another important reason behind the title page as heading in your essay is to keep your mind in focus on the essay that needs to be done. 2. Create a flow chart of ideas To keep you in focus on the ideas you want to express in your essay it would be best that you create a flow chart of ideas. The flow chart is like an outline where you place the arguments and things you want to express in your essay.
