Write your sales letter with an Individual in mind; think as if you are writing personally to them. People love to read good stories, tell them stories that illustrate a point you are trying to make. 1. Heading Write attention grabbing & powerful heading. Remember you have 15 seconds or less to capture your visitors attention before they click away. Offer the best benefits or the biggest promise to your visitors. Increase there curiosity by showing them self-serving benefits. Your heading should immediately create a desire in the reader to want to know more. * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/promotion/sales_ltr_tips.html TOP 10 TOOLS FOR WRITING HUMOR by David Leonhardt Category: Motivation http://www.wordpreneur.com/technique Ever want to write a funny book or a humor column? Or add spice to your newsletter editor or webpage so that people read beyond the typical drivel that sends otherwise eager- to-spend customers into a boredom-induced coma? Here are my top 10 favorite humor tools for you, along with real live examples from my own humor column. Threading a theme through the text Are you into practical jokes? Try sewing a single thread of bright red wool across Uncle Henry's new green golf shirt. Or sew a thread through your text. My Parenting Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe is actually a delicious recipe. But I assumed there is a little helper around, and I threaded her through the text, making for sort of a running gag. OK, time to up-tempo the laughs. Mid-way through, I run a second thread, renaming the cake with each mistake. The thread within a thread multiplies the humor. * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/technique/humor.html WRITING FOR FREE: WHEN & WHEN NOT TO DO IT! by Yuwanda Black Category: Promotion http://www.wordpreneur.com/thejob Right off the bat, I want to say that there is no right or wrong answer to this topic. A lot depends on your end goal - to get a job, garner publicity, build a portfolio, etc. However, there comes a time when every writer should say no to writing for free. Below are some issues that I've been pondering about freelance writing. Issue 1: Content for websites. Content is king on the Internet and everyone wants something fresh and unique on a regular basis. If you are promoting a product/service and write articles to generate publicity, then by all means, give the content away. However, if what you are selling is your writing skill and are not promoting anything, then don't give it away. You'd be better off doing a direct mail campaign and spending your time creating pieces for your portfolio - even if they are only make-believe companies. One could argue that the reason good writing is taken for granted is so many give it away. I give a lot of content away, but only within the framework of WIIFM (what's in it for me). * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/thejob/free.html ------------------------------------------------------------ VISIT E-FACTORY.COM http://www.e-factory.com 100% free and useful articles on how to build, run, and grow your very own Internet enterprise!
