Have you noticed it?
Sales copy in web sites, emails a nd Utbes are getting much longer.
"They" now say "Long sales copy sells"! I think it does too. That is OK because that is the goal of writing sales copy - sell more. Two or more pages, can get the suspect/prospect thinking "in the right direction" usually. If the reader will just keep reading it means that he is interested and that interest just might continue to grow enough to lead to a sale. He may sell himself! Simple really.
If the sales site is promoting an income program where by the prospect can make a 6 figure income and it will only cost him $49.95 to get the secret, it may take a long sales copy to get him to ignore the "red flag" of the cheap cost for such a huge income claim. And what will probably happen is that he will glance over to his right and check to see how long or short the scroll bar is and if it is short, he will quickly scroll to the bottom to see how much the price to purchase is (it may be a little hidden).
In other words, with the current trend of longer sales copy and the amount of scams on the net, some promoters are doing the extra effort to get a sale and not always to the advantage of the prospect. It is becoming harder to make a sale and the trouble going on with payment processors now, is really causing a lot of trouble for the promoter.
The long Utube promotions are getting really wild. Some are made is what looks like vacant rooms, in cars, pickup trucks and junky looking places. Would you spend your hard earned money with such a promoter? Surely not, - starting a new venture may be a bit risky anyway even after doing the best due diligence.
So in summary, - are long sales copy efforts bad. No not always, but it is just yet another thing to keep in mind when reading one. Just ask yourself: exactly what is behind this writing? You know it is trying to sell something. Is it a pre-launch, from a source that has "burnt" you before, spammed you, or from someone you trust or maybe checked out OK in the Warrior Forum? Amen!
** I hope you don't think this "copy" is to long............

A "Must Have" Internet Marketer's Helper...
What are the 3 (no 4) most important "things" an Internet marketer MUST have to have a SUCCESSFUL inter net business?
Well 1st of course we must have a computer. And of course we must have a product and/or service to sell and then we must have an advertising idea already in mind or "lined-up".
But it is that 4th item that is over looked by over 65% of those who are trying to earn more or extra income. 65%! May be there would be more than a 3-5% success rate in our industry if this 4th item was used daily.
The AUTORESPONDER!! Yes, the autoresponder is an absolute necessity for success. We have all heard that for years, but still the 65% hold back and they hinder themselves by not utilizing a GOOD autoresponder.
However we are not recommending just any AR. Aweber is the leader in the AR field and for very good reason(s). They probably have more than the rest of the ARs put together. We cannot say that for sure, but just look at all your email, etc.. The "Big Operators" use Aweber because they obviously think they are the best!
Cost? Very, very reasonable and all of their applications seem almost endless. What every your marketing approach is they can help you with it and offer numerous additional ideas frr no extra cost. They are truly a "Total Package".

Newsletters For Long Term Benefits
Three Types of Newsletters...
In his book Do it Yourself Newsletters, Chuck Green describes three basic types or models of newsletters: Promotional, Relationship, Expert. Each type of newsletter shares common characteristics. Determine which model fits your business and choose a format accordingly.
Promotional Newsletters
This type of newsletter is frequently used by businesses to promote a product or service. It is also known as a marketing newsletter. A promotional or marketing newsletter is typically sent to current or prospective customers free of charge. Not strictly a sales pitch, the promotional newsletter does strive to turn prospects into customers and customers into repeat customers.
If you want to publish often and/or quickly try creating single page.
Promotional newsletters could go out in individual mailings or emails.
Relationship Newsletters
Examples of this type of newsletter are club newsletters, employee newsletters, and alumni newsletters. They focus on the shared interests, building or reinforcing a relationship. Typically distributed at no charge, and/or to paid members as a perk for paying dues.
Due to employee turnover or changing club membership, newsletter publishing duties may change hands frequently. To maintain consistency through such changes and to accommodate varying skill levels, create a basic, easy to use newsletter template that allows for easy drop in of articles and photos. A "style guide" is useful for any newsletter publisher, if the newsletter publishing duties may get passed around frequently.
Expert Newsletters
Usually subscription-based, these newsletters generally focus on a specific topic and the recipient is someone who has specifically requested the information in the newsletter and is willing to pay for the information. While you always want to put your best work into your newsletter, when people are paying for it, it's even more important to have good content and good design.
Recipients are paying for the content but will notice and be turned off by bad dedsign if it interferes with the enjoyment of the newsletter content. You have the opportunity to be creative in your layout and choice of fonts and colors but keep it consistent with the content and purpose of the newsletter.
If the newsletter is heavy on text, make liberal use of design features that aid reading including white space. Avoid large blocks of gray text.
Subscription newsletters are often longer than your typical marketing newsletters. Provide good navigation help including table of contents. If photos are important to your newsletter, choose paper and printing methods that don't detract from the photographs.
News Letters Are Not Ads
Using a newsletter as a marketing vehicle is a great tool for your businesses. However, an effective newsletter design is not just a great big ad for the business. It should include information of interest and of value to the recipient whether or not they use your services or buy your products. TONE DOWN the sales hype. In addition to the wording, avoid a newsletter design that looks like a sales flier or product list.

There Are Just 2 Kinds of People
Yes, just TWO kinds of people, at least in the USA
The 2 kinds of people are:
EMPLOYEES OR EMPLOYERS (Employers includes self employed)
we are either now or will be or have been! Rather simple don't you think?
Myself, I had to "employ myself because I just didn't fit as an "employee" very well. I could work as directed or expected but not forever..... In fact I have been a disappointment to many people who knew me and wanted me to either move up with a company or show some interest in working for a promotion. In one word, I was to independent. Can you relate to that?
Example. After I got out of the Air Force I bounced around a bit (with a wife and 3 kids) and finally got a job with a finance company. Do you know where you start with a finance Company? It is out on the street (or in the country) collecting delinquent debts and in my case that meant collecting on car loans, trucks, airplanes and boats (I was in Florida). And often that meant repossessing the vehicle. Some time it was easy and some times - not easy I am proud to say that I never got into a fight and I also consider that experience as where I learned to be a salesman. Because if you didn't "sell" a deter to go along with what ever I was asking him to do, - I couldn't "adjust the delinquency at a profit to the Company - the Co. motto.
However I soon found out that when I went to see some delinquent, I would say "well I am sure you have been expecting some one to knock on your door and want the money you owe. Now that I am here, what do you want to do, - you know we don't want the car, - we want the payments". 80% of the time I didn't repossess the vehicle. We could rewrite the contract or store the vehicle for a while or if nothing would work I would ask for the keys. After all most people realize that they cannot keep something they can't pay for. When I first started they sent me out with a guy who would rather fight than treat people as well as possible, - and yes, you can imagine how he got along....
So the summary here might very well be, as you self evaluate yourself; how do you view which category you are in? EMPLOYEE or EMPLOYER? Be very honest with yourself. If you don't care which one, - then this whole posting is not for you. But assuming we are interested in "moving up" in money and/or accomplishments, these comments just might be the trigger for self help, - at least that is the intent. We encourage the "Employer" group because after all that where the potential Big money is located and waiting to be claimed!!
As an "Employer" type, may I recommend a business possibility to you that includes both the income source and the system to keep it running forever: The income source is here. And the system to keep it running perpetually is right here. Together, these 2 components provide the most income potential and at the lowest cost of any business start up opportunity. Yes!

Advertising Without Being Mislead
Oh the mysteries of advertising our online businesses....
We could think abut this subject forever but in an effort to get down to reality for each of us as individuals, lets "kick" around a few things. Lets start with traffic exchanges! Most agree that if you use them you will have about a 2% success rate! And if you upgrade you will have about a 4% success rate. Big deal! The lesson is that any and all Free advertising just doesn't work unless you Upgrade $$. By "success" we mean that we may get a lead, - probably not a sale.
The Free advertising is just to get your email address and once they have that, you will get a big offer to upgrade before you can even get off the "welcome" email. Not only that but their Aweber which you can get the use of your self right here. will keep on sending you regular email information.
Another tactic today is the "sneaky" way some promotions use to lead a suspect into some program that none but the newbies would probably consider. Gotta be careful here or to many "toes" will be stepped on. How about all the funnel ideas going around. The idea is to get some funded proposal money coming in so as to use it to go into a profit orientated program to make money. But usually the profit targeted program(s) are not exposed up front. Caution!!
But generally our conception about the advertising is limited to the big banners we see on the roadsides, in the malls and the large scale advertisements in the electronic as well as print media. With the rising popularity of the Internet, the pops ups and advertisements on the web sites are also now part of the advertising industry. For the big business houses these are standard mode of advertising but for the smaller businessmen it is a no-no thing because of the higher budgets.
In our time, the inter net has become such a powerful medium that you can achieve unbelievable results with its reach. You can make a web site detailing your product or service. Along with this also make use of the various social networking websites like facebook, orkut etc. by dedicating a page on them to your product. If you can further spend a little more time you can also make a monthly newsletter relating to your product and send a mass email to the people. In the newsletter make sure that you detail all the good things about your product and also offer some good discounts. This is sure cause some courosity.
Be a regular member of the business sittings in your locality. Discuss about your product with other people. They might give you some nice advertising ideas. The more you keep your eyes and ears open the more you are bound to gain. Project yourself as the key player in the niche of your product and make sure that your product as though it is the only viable option available in the market. These advertising ideas are time tested and true.

Good Internet Business Advice Is Priceless
Hello Networker,
** This article is another review of good thoughts in connection with online business and expecially those of us who strive to have a profitable home bases business. Being profitable is not an easy status to gain! It is a lot like fishing, - it takes persistance.
"In today's environment, hoarding knowledge ultimately erodes your power. If
you know something very important, the way to get power is by actually sharing it.”
By Joseph Badaracco
"A startup is an organization that has created something great from a simple concept. You’ve taken your team and idea, approached it tenaciously while keeping your passions in perspective and grown it into a Sustainable Startup with a team that is able to communicate and scale together. While being poised to grow and able to scale are important for any startup, for a Sustainable Startup giving away what you’ve learned is a priority.
The immediate concern that arises tends to be about trade secrets or competitive advantages you’ve created during your startup’s run.
There are certain things which will probably remain inside your business, after all Google doesn’t readily display its algorithms to its competitors. However sharing your knowledge, tactics and strategies creates a community around your startups and feeds experience down through the entrepreneurial ecosystems. We believe there are five primary reasons that as a startup you should give away what you’ve learn in support of prosperity.
1) If you’ve created a successful, Sustainable Startup, creation is your first instinct, not hoarding.
The first instinct for creative individuals is to share their creations and continue to innovate. Artists don’t produce their works and keep them to themselves, writers don’t write novels and hide them away in safes, their instinct is to share what they’ve accomplished and continue to create. Creation in startups is no different, many of the most prominent startups and entrepreneurs are those that have immersed themselves in the cycle of creation, completion, sharing and creation.
2) Hoarding is the same as admitting you can’t do it again.
Giving away what you’ve learned, and sharing your experiences means you can accept the challenge of starting again with an even playing field. By contributing your knowledge to the startup ecosystem you are proving to yourself that you are capable repeating your successes.
3) You are not operating in secret.
Especially in the era of Web 2.0 very little is secret and even less remains that way for long. As we’ve mentioned in earlier Principles there are no new ideas, simply different perspectives and to assume your project or projects are secret and unique is misguided.
4) Innovation always evens the playing field.
Innovation happens at such an incredible rate that any perceived advantages on one day can easily be erased the next. Share your ideas and techniques openly and be prepared not only to offer insight, but to be offered great insight by other startup entrepreneurs.
5) Teaching creates new perspectives.
By sharing your knowledge and techniques you are accepting any questions that may come forward. Unwanted questioning can often create a defensive state of mind which closes the door to further creativity. Teaching what you know and accepting questions or criticisms allows you to see new perspectives and apply it in new ways.
Giving away what you’ve learned supports startup industries, communities and most importantly, your next venture".
------------------------------------------
Successful internet marketing ($$) will always require us to think, think and think some more plus a successful mentor to stay in touch with. "Amen"!_

4) Innovation always evens the playing field.
Innovation happens at such an incredible rate that any perceived advantages on one day can easily be erased the next. Share your ideas and techniques openly and be prepared not only to offer insight, but to be offered great insight by other startup entrepreneurs.
5) Teaching creates new perspectives.
By sharing your knowledge and techniques you are accepting any questions that may come forward. Unwanted questioning can often create a defensive state of mind which closes the door to further creativity. Teaching what you know and accepting questions or criticisms allows you to see new perspectives and apply it in new ways.
Giving away what you’ve learned supports startup industries, communities and most importantly, your next venture".

Successful internet marketing ($$) will always require us to think, think and think some more plus a successful mentor to stay in touch with. "Amen"!_
