The Copywriter’s Job
Have you ever wondered what a Copywriter does? It’s not a secret. If a copywriter persuades you to take a desired action, he or she has done their job.
The copywriter we speak of here might be you (the business owner), a staff copywriter, or a freelancer that you have hired.
The specific action could be to purchase your product, or in some way invest in your service. It could also be to sign up for a free report or software in return for their name and email address. In any case, the copywriter always presents the reader with options and asks them to make a choice.
What exactly is this process? You could say it’s simply persuasion; and it is. But you should know that any good copywriter is careful to ‘persuade’ people in a manner fitting of his claim: that the choice he urges his readers to make is in their best interests, and that if they knew all the facts they would make it anyway.
What sorts of choices do we generally want our readers to make?
The most basic action, one that requires the least amount of skill, is to simply to persuade another to take some action indicating their interest in a subject. That action might be as innocuous as reading an article. Or it may be downloading a free report or software program.
Next in difficulty would be convincing that same person to provide their email address in order to get the freebie. Web surfers today are hesitant to give strangers their email address online. The good news, if you can get people to do this, it usually tells you three different things. First, it shows you did a good job in targeting the right audience for your freebie. Second, it tells you that you are speaking in their language. Third, it finally indicates that you are offering an item that they deem valuable.
You might assume that to persuade that same person to spend money is another level of difficulty completely. You assumed correctly. Ultimately, though, we are in business to make sales. When crafting a sales letter the copywriter is only presenting a type of sales presentation.
The basic process is this: describe the offered product and the benefits of said service or product, give answers to the common objections prospective buyers have, and tell how to buy. Through the entirety of this, the writer should always use terminology familiar to the prospect and also remove any obstacles (unnecessary or poor-worded phrases which will cause the reader to disbelieve what you are saying or even stop reading).
Smart marketers know that the persuasion does not end when the decision to buy is made. Not at all. The prospective buyer now needs to give their credit card information and then to OK the order. Afterwords, customers commonly experience what is known as “buyers remorse” and so experienced marketers employ ethical tactics to show that the customer did indeed make the right decision.
The copywriter’s job is one that is essential today. As a business owner, you may decide to write the copy yourself, or you may choose to hire a writer who specializes in writing copy for clients.

Your Life Will Change and You Will Double Your Income When You Change Your Brain
There’s been a significant amount of press about the Laws of Attraction, The Secret and other programs designed to help you attain your personal vision of success. Each approach has its devotees, of course, as well as its detractors; what’s been missing is hard, empirical proof that human beings can think their way to a better lifestyle.
There is now hard proof. Chemical changes do indeed occur when we think of personal and financial growth.
These changes can happen in both the conscious and sub-conscious parts of our minds and, in fact, it’s when we affect the sub-conscious that we really master The Laws of Attraction. You can truly learn to Change Your Brain, Change Your Life.
World-famous John Assaraf studies these effects for 20 years to master the “inner game”. It actually involves quantum physics!
It’s all perception. Ignore the physics. Just think new thoughts.
Assaraf says that the reticular activation system modifies what we focus on, and the bigger the better.
To succeed we need to have clarity and focus and to absolutely believe we have the ability to manifest such opportunities and do what we need to do to meet our goals. This will take some work since 75% of our beliefs tend to be negative and that negativity is both genetically and behaviorally based. Even those of us who think positively on a conscious level can believe differently in the subconscious.
It’s called neural reconditioning … creating the positive neuro-pathways or beliefs to select only what we want.
It’s really easy. When your thoughts are negative, just state them in the positive and life will change.
Make a visual image of the new positive way.

Resume Layout – Getting It Right.
When you are choosing a resume layout, it is important to remember that the resume can help you obtain an opportunity to have an interview. It can help get you in the door, but it cannot get the job for you. Some people feel that graphics and colorful fonts can get attention and make the resume stand out. It probably will, but not always in a good way. The best resume layout is clean and concise and it is easy to read. Remember, the person handling the resume may have to read twenty or more a day, and their job may be to weed unacceptable people. If your resume layout is confusing, or it the resume is too loud or unprofessional, it will probably go in the reject pile.
The goal of choosing a good resume layout and producing a great resume is to capture the interest of the reviewer. You need them to know that you are qualified enough and interesting enough to get the interview. But it all starts with the layout of your resume, so you need to take it very seriously.
When deciding upon an effective resume layout, there are many online that you can choose from. Remember that you do not have to go with a particular style. You can make your resume reflect your personal style, but you still have to keep the overall resume professional. You can make the resume interesting and let the reader know why it is you are perfect for the job and why it is perfect for you. However, you don’t want to convey your entire life story. And if you feel that you have a sad or interesting story to tell, keep it out of your resume. If you must get more personal, save it for the interview.
Your resume layout should have good wide margins. And you should choose a font that is easy to read, something like Times New Roman 12 or Arial 12. Certainly, you can choose something different, but you get the general idea. Be careful how you use the boxes and shading because the best way to utilize those tools is to go from one subject to another such as going from education to experience.
When choosing a layout for your resume, you can use the same one for jobs, but be careful that the relevant parts of the resume are specific to certain jobs. You need to convey to the reader why it is you want the job and what you can give them. You won’t say the same thing for every job. Lastly, make sure you check spelling and grammar because you need to project that you are a professional.

Viral Marketing Examples, What is it and How Does Viral Marketing Work?
What is this term Viral we have been hearing so much about? It sounds bad? What is a Viral video? We will cover these and other questions in this article. We will also go through a real live example of how a viral video can spread.
Lets start with a definition. I quote wikipedia here: “Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self replicating viral processes, similar to the spread of pathological and/or computer viruses.
Long story short it is a way to use the already established media channels as a means of distributing your message. Just genius.
So what about a fat kid singing is viral, and why should something like that go viral? Well lets go through an example and use this child “Brian” as the example.
It goes like this. Brian uploads to Youtube. Bethany posts Brian’s video on her Myspace. All her friends see her myspace and post it on theirs and the virus begins to spread.
Now that the process has started it will be replicated on the other social media sites and distributed as far as possible and the virus is growing. Social bookmarking, blogs and email chains can make the process explode!
So can you make any money with this info? Well lets just say if you do it right, like Frank Kern for example, you can make about 3 million in a day like he does. Or even a few hundred would be cool to most!
The others are probably hatching a plan to get their crazy video out there and become famous. To that I say more power to you.
Keep it up, go out there and make a million and get a million hits.
