Learn How to Write Effective Copy and Promote Your Business

Most online marketers shun the unpleasant task of writing. They think that they can't write because they don't know how to express themselves when writing. If you want to promote your business opportunity effectively, then writing has just become the most important element of your overall marketing strategy.

Writing is one of the most neglected but necessary chores of your business especially if you want to become a successful online entity. Writing can be a daunting task to most individuals, especially for those who are new to the internet. Learning how to write is something that each of us must face early on in our online business career if you want to become successful online. The internet is all about providing good information for your readers, and that all happens by writing good copy.

A change in attitude, as well as modifications in our mind set must be addressed before anyone can make that all important step to commit to doing what's necessary to become a successful writer. Regardless of whether you're building a web site, publishing a blog, submitting to a forum or writing powerful and convincing sales copy in your emails, it will require you to do some type of writing.

Priorities must be implemented into your thought process in order to make this whole scenario become a reality. Having the enthusiasm and commitment is something that will develop and become stronger over time. The more you write, the easier it becomes. Writing is a prime example of the old saying "practice makes perfect". This process is going to require a dedication like you've never experienced in your entire life time.

Writing will help you to develop skills into something much more than a dreadful chore. Writing will become an exciting experience, may become habit forming as well as being productive for your business. The enthusiasm you express in your writings will be recognized by your reading audience. Your readers will eventually look forward to your next writing. Soon you will develop an avid following of readers that will look to you as the "go to professional" person, in whatever your field of endeavor may be.

Writing requires some realistic time management. Being organized and having a specific time set aside for your writings, is a vital and important aspect to your future, if you expect your writing to become successful.

I enjoy doing my writings early in the morning when my mind is fresh and clear, and distractions are minimal. Once the hustle and bustle of the normal daily activities take place, it may be difficult to concentrate on what you want to convey in your writings.

It's important that the information you provide is factual, current, interesting as well as informative if you want to keep the attention of your reading audience. Your reading audience is not stupid and in some cases your reader may be more knowledgeable on your subject matter than you are. Be original, well informed and write from the heart and write like you talk. Your readers will pick up on your low key, no hype, sincere information that you share with your reading audience.

Let's talk a bit more about commitment. You must make a pledge to yourself that you are going to be committed to writing on a specific day and at a specific time. Establish a well planned writing schedule, of possibly once a week to begin with. That's fine. You can gradually work your way up to several time per week from there. To keep your writing schedule it may be necessary to post a designated time in your day planner of which day of the week is best suited for you.

Make an appointment with yourself for a specific time that day to get your writing chores done. Try to limit the number of distraction you will tolerate. Honor your writing appointment with the same fervor as if that time slot was reserved for seeing your best client.

Consistency in writing; will soon become a habit, and later on you will thank yourself that you made such a commitment and followed through with your writing task. Inconsistency in any writing project is a killer to successful writing which in turn will eventually end up in total disaster. Writing good copy is fast becoming the norm for most successful online marketers. Join this prestigious group of authors today.

You may even end up building your own article directory. An article directory is a tremendous way to build powerful links pointing to and from your web site.

Only you can make the important choice of whether or not to commit to the process of learning the art and science of writing. Make that commitment now, and get a head start on your competition by learning how to write effectively.

Writing good quality content is essential with any writing you’ll ever compose. Whether you’re writing content for a web site, blog, forum or just writing about your product or services, your content must be factual, easy to understand and make sense to the average non techie reader. Your writings must also make sense to Google, Yahoo, Bing and other lesser know search engines, because the rules regarding good content are the same regardless of which engine used. If you don’t write relevant quality information, you will lose search engine standings as well as your reading audience rather quickly.


In recent months, article marketing has gained popularity at an astounding pace. Internet marketers are now beginning to realize that writing quality information can help build a thriving online business much faster than any other method of promotion. By paying close attention to what’s happening in the marketplace, you can laser focus your writings to a specific issue or other areas of interest. Keep you writing simple without a lot of technical stats or hype which can confuse the average layman.


With the advent of the internet, people are using the World Wide Web to obtain information on any subject one can imagine. Most of the readers nowadays scan reads. Readers first look at the title of an article and if you have a catchy title and opening paragraph, the readers may or may not continue to read. Much thought must be put into your writings to capture the reader’s attention, and keep it. In one of our recent articles we discussed the A-I-D-A theory. The following is a brief review of what this theory is all about.


A- equals ATTENTION. If you don’t get the reader’s attention right from the get go, your reader will click off immediately. Once they leave your business opportunity, take my word for it, they will be gone forever.


I- equals INTEREST. You must compose your opening statement to be so powerful, that you not only get the reader’s attention, but you created such a compelling value, that it peaks the readers interest to the point of wanting to know more.


D- equals DESIRE. Your remarks must be so strong it generates a passionate desire, and your reader will develop a lust for a part of whatever you’re promoting or selling.


A- equals ACTION. You can have the best product in the world, you may have a sales pitch that is super powerful, but without asking for the order you will probably never get the sale. The whole process requires asking for the order and getting it. This is what most successful sales individuals call the close.


Some writers like to use bullet points when writing. Others may use short, but factual paragraphs with excellent descriptive language of what their writing is all about. Here’s a good suggestion. Include two or three sentences per paragraph which should keep the reader’s attention focused on your information. If you go on and on about a particular point, your reader will become bored, and click off your writing and go somewhere else that’s more interesting.


Since keywords and keyword phrases are what the search engines uses to match a readers search query, it’s imperative to include your keywords and phrases strategically placed within your writings. Make certain that your keywords and phrases are relevant to what you’re trying to promote. Normally search engines will target 5 maybe 6 keywords out of what you include in your Meta description found in your source code. So in plain English, more is not necessarily better. In the code, list your most important keywords in order of importance.


Linking is vitally important to the success of your writings. Outbound links adds a lot of credibility to your writings. Internal links can help you as well when pointing your readers to some of your other information that is relative to your subject matter. Be sure to include the tag in the source code that will bring the readers back to your writing, expecially if you have hyperlinks in the content area of your writing. If you need help here, be sure and give me a call.


Including a contact form is an excellent way to let the potential client get hold of you without commitment or pressure. Be careful not to ask for too much information, you will scare them away. Getting the email address is all I ever ask for. If the reader gives me their email address, at least it shows me that he or she is somewhat interested in what I have to offer. After exchanging a couple of corresponding emails, then it’s rather easy to glean other information such as a name, or phone number.


Don’t hesitate to place your phone number in the author’s resource box at the end of each writing. I’ve been truly amazed at how many people have called just to ask a simple question, just because they knew they could. That of course is what I wanted them to do. I have been able to help several individuals as a result of being available for a “no obligation” consultation.

Time Management Tips That Will Breed Success

Most hourly workers just do what they’re told, and rightfully so, that’s what they’re being paid to do. However, when you’re in business for yourself whether it’s an online or offline business certain issues must be addressed on a timely fashion if you want to succeed in your business efforts. Therefore, time management is important to understand and must be implemented into a personal workable time management blueprint.


Whether you’re an individual or company regardless of size you will flounder and fail if a workable plan of action is not carefully implemented into their everyday schedule. Everyone’s situation is unique and different so it’s up to each of us to build a plan that fits our individual needs. The following helpful hints should make it easier, regardless of how long you’ve been in the business or your age.


Take time to sit down and hand write a list of what must be done to make your everyday life more productive. Time is money in this business and if you jump from chore to chore, the end result is non productive at best. When you start the planning process, write down everything you want to accomplish. Don’t worry about putting the chores in any particular order. Just make a list.


 As soon as you feel you have written everything down that comes to mind, then put your list into some sequence of importance. List the most important chores as top priority and the lesser important issue at the end. You may have to reconstruct your list several times before it makes total sense to you.


Check off each item as you complete the task and in the morning when you revise your list for that day you will be amazed at how quickly your list has dwindled. The main thing here is to be consistent with your log of chores each and every day. During the week make sure that you focus on your business every working day. You may need to designate one day a week strictly for the honey do list that the wife has compiled for you. Unless you are a strong willed person, switching from business to honey do chores and then back to business can be quite a challenge.


Make every effort to have your to do list with you at all times. I’ve found that putting my chores in my appointment book with a specific time to handle that particular issue has worked well for me. Every day I personally like to write new information articles early in the morning before the family gets up. That way I have less noise to contend with since the radio or television hasn’t been turned on yet for the day.


Make a specific time for yourself for broadening your personal interest with information regarding your favorite topic. Many successful business men and women start their day with devotional readings, while others will read the Wall Street Journal. Ignorance is bliss, but being informed is imperative if you want to succeed in any business.


Have a specific time of the day that you take care of your emails. Some of the emails you will want to handle immediately. Lesser important emails can wait until a later time in the day when you may need a break from the more complex issues at hand.


After you’ve worked with your new time management plan for a week or so, take a close look at what you’ve accomplished and revise minor things in your program that will make your new venture more practical and productive. Avoid getting involved with mundane cell phone calls that don’t make you any money. Handle the non important calls after you’ve worked your scheduled work time. Even though you are working for yourself, don’t squander the working hours with unimportant chores.


If you’re working on a large project such as building a new web site, it may be to your advantage to break up your major project into several mini projects. You may want to make a list of priorities within your major project and put those chores in order of importance.


Once you’ve determined you can function using your new time management plan, then stick to that plan until something major comes along that demands you to change your working strategies. Set some specific boundaries on how much time you spend with individuals who want to just chit chat. Once you’ve wasted your valuable time, it’s gone forever, you can never recover that time loss regardless of how hard you try.


If you have employees, learn to become a boss and delegate authority. Handle all your correspondence emails once, if at all possible. Read the email and make a decision right then and there of whether action is required, and if so, then do it immediately. Don’t put if off and say you’ll do it in a day or two.


 Incomplete actions will accumulate to a mountain of unresolved chores rather quickly. Somewhere on your time management list of things to do, make sure you allow time for yourself. If you enjoy playing golf, set a given time for your personal enjoyment. Rewarding yourself is an excellent way of keeping you fresh and at the top of your game.


Don’t try to be a jack of all trades. Learn a few important things and be proficient in those choices. For example, if you like to build web sites, then become a professional in that particular venue of internet marketing. If you like to promote other peoples site, then learn the process of promoting, and do it well.


Time management is critical to your online success. Hopefully some of the simple ideas we’ve shared in this writing will help you to become a better person, both personally and in your business.
