Vote for me!

Nov 13th, 2008 | By Val | Category: General Biz

I’ve never even messed with the whole voting thing.  Nothing to do with the sites that run them, just the fact that I’ve never moved on to that section of promotion.

Well no MORE!  You must go to Sparkplugging and vote for me. I’Ve even created a little section in my sidebar now for things like this. Umm, guess I should start doing things I regularly do for others right? K, add it to my list! lol

Three Tips for Improving Your Copywriting Skills

We have just a few moments to grab a visitor’s attention, draw them into our offer and make the sale. We need to anticipate their objections and questions because most will click away to another seller instead of sending you an email to ask.

It sounds daunting, but it can be done by improving your own copywriting skills. But how do you do that?

Don’t Have a Swipe File? Here Are 3 Reasons Why You Should Get One

By Alice Seba, Teacher at Internet Marketing Copy Makeover

When I first heard someone say “swipe file” in regard to copywriting a few years back, I was horrified. If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s basically keeping a folder (printed or digital) of sales copy to refer to when crafting your own copy.

I know!

It seemed like people were suggesting that I keep a swipe file, so I could actually plagiarize the copy of others. It was totally shocking. But really, that is not the purpose of a swipe file. Keeping a swipe file is simply a learning opportunity to improve your own copywriting skills.
