A prospect who "finds" you first is more likely to buy from you, than if you find him.
Has your medical doctor ever called you on the phone during dinnertime, asking if you might be looking for help fighting a flu bug?
He doesn't find you, you find him. And when you do see him, he tells you what medicine you need to take and you take it. If he says you need surgery, you might seek a second opinion, but you're willing to pay good money for that opinion. And most likely you end up taking the advice, no matter how painful or inconvenient it is.
Do your customers respect you as much as they respect their doctor? Why not? They don't know him any better than they know you. His diagnosis of problems are not correct more often than yours is. You went to school. You have expertise. You know how to solve difficult problems. So what's the difference?
Positioning vs. Prospecting
The difference is positioning. The doctor is perceived to be an expert, so you seek his counsel. You believe what he has to say while your premiums go up every year. The truth is, the medical industry knows things about marketing and positioning that most people in our industry are simply ignorant of. Most people just imitate their competitors, and everyone just gets dumber every year.
In the world of corporate sales, people are still doing things the exact same way as they did 20, 30 or even 50 years ago! And they consume enormous amounts of effort! But when you replace manual labor with automation, the difference is dramatic.
The Decoy of Sales Motivation.
I endured a bitter struggle with this before I finally figured it out. I thought the problem was that I wasn't motivated enough. I listened to tapes constantly. I learned the Power of Positive Thinking. I smiled everywhere I went and shook people's hands. I remembered their names. I chatted with them about golf and fishing and their grandkids and the plaques in their office. I looked at myself in the mirror every morning and said "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggonit, people like me."
Isn't that pretty much what most salespeople learn how to do? Believe great things, be nice to people, work like a banshee and think positive, until success sweeps you off your feet and your bank account is filled with cash? Stop and think about it for a minute. Does it really work?
That's what I did, and I was working very hard at it. But it wasn't working, and every month I was falling further and further behind. You can only do that for so long before something finally gives. And I knew I was close to the breaking point.
"Motivation is NOT your real problem"
But I remember exactly when and where I found the answer I was looking for. It was May 7, 1997. I was at an-all day sales seminar in Peoria, Illinois, where I was, once again, trying to get more motivated. I had robbed Peter to pay Paul, just so I could be there that day. They had all kinds of speakers who were going to motivate me to achieve great things in my career.
But the last speaker of the day did not talk about motivation at all. He talked about how to bolt a marketing turbocharger on the front end of your sales organization, so that your customers would call you instead of you having to call them. He said if you had a steady stream of qualified prospects to talk to, you wouldn't have a motivation problem in the first place.
Now I'd be lying to you if I told you that this speech instantly solved all of my problems. But it WAS the tip of the real iceberg. It radically, permanently changed my perspective on the entire problem and finally pointed me in the right direction.
I eventually realized that this whole motivation thing was a huge decoy. Why? Because I was already motivated to begin with. The problem was, I was trying to dig a basement with a shovel when I really needed a bulldozer. I didn't need to be more motivated! Why?
Because no matter how motivated you are, the laziest guy in the world can still move more dirt with a borrowed bulldozer than you can with a shovel!
I went on a mission to study the most brilliant minds in marketing today, across dozens of industries and professions. And what I discovered was that with a good marketing system, you can have people lined up to have you help them solve their problems. You can be a welcome guest instead of an unwelcome pest.
Why My Sales Career Was So Miserable
I began to understand why the old way was not working. In hindsight, these were the problems:
The companies I was selling for did have marketing and advertising budgets. And they certainly did attempt to generate sales leads. But here's the problem: Most technical, industrial and business-to-business marketing and publicity is simply terrible. Abysmal. Everyone just copies everyone else, and the whole industry gets dumber and dumber every year.The sales leads were low quality and there wasn't nearly enough of them. If you're going to get better results than everyone else, you're going to have to do something different.
You shouldn't spend your time prospecting any more than absolutely necessary. Your time is too valuable and expensive. You should only spend time with qualified, interested potential clients, discussing your solutions to their problems. A good marketing system, which helps customers find the salesman, can do this for far less money than paying the salesman to find the customers. My problem was that I was spending so much time prospecting, I didn't have time to sell.
Once an effective marketing system is in place, you can spend twice as much time in front of interested customers and double your income.
There's a hidden benefit to this: When the customer finds you, instead of you finding the customer, his perception of you is different. He perceives you as a consultant, not a peddler. Customers don't respect peddlers as reliable information sources. I was improperly positioned as a 'peddler' and could never accomplish what I was trying to achieve.
Over time I discovered an arsenal of powerful tools that cause people to see you as a "valuable resource" instead of "unwanted pest." Each customer has a unique category for you in his mind, and you're no longer "just another salesman."

It is important to note that very stringent government regulations apply if you are marketing any health related products. Make sure that you are staying strictly within FDA regulations and your company's policies.

Article Summary: Are you wondering exactly how so many people have become so rich with the help of the Internet? As we all know, the Internet is not only a good source of information but of money as well.
There are countless opportunities for people to make money online. Looking on the Internet we can see website businesses that are continually growing in popularity and even those that have become household names, making their owners lots of money.

But what if you don't have enough capital to build your own website? Will you ever be able to get rich? The answer is yes. You can make use of many systems that are already in place, created for people just like you. You just need to find the right system.

Scammers are all over the Internet and you have to be careful, but this doesn’t mean that all of these programs are scams. People are still getting rich every day on the Internet.
Selling domains is another way you can get rich on the Internet. Business.com was recently sold for over $8 million. So if you can think of about 5-10 nice domains names and buy them for $5 each, you could sell them for $100-200k each. It’s a bit of a lottery but it could make you a fortune.
What if you're not very technically minded and don't have enough money to develop your own website? Is it still possible to get rich? Getting rich on the Internet is not just for those with programming skills and thousands of dollars of investment behind them. There are several ways to earn money and get rich. MetaCafe, for example, is a website that is similar to YouTube and which pays $5 for every 1000 views of your uploaded video. This might sound like small potatoes but what if you have 100 videos uploaded and each of them is viewed a million times? You could earn a million bucks just sitting in front of your computer.
Pay per click is very famous nowadays. This is a good way to earn more money, especially if you already have a blog or a site up and running.

Joining several social networks can also bring you more money. There are several social networks that pay you to be a member, to invite friends and to hang out. Even something as simple as reading emails, following links and surfing websites can earn you extra money. By joining these sites you will earn $100-$200 monthly. This may not be the kind of money that dreams are made of but the key thing to remember is that you only need to do it part time. You can also use your earnings to venture into something more profitable.
There are so many things to sell on the Internet nowadays. You can sell old books, or old bags and clothes; you can even sell your dog. Now, it's easy to sell your services online too. There are not many limits here, you don't even have to have contractual agreements on websites. All you need to do is go and log in to an online market place. What clients do nowadays is submit their project needs and then let online freelancers bid and offer ideas.
The Internet is a goldmine! There's no limit to the amount of ways you can make money working online.
Sometimes, what you'll find is gold dust or grains of gold. At other times you could come across a gold nugget or two. When luck is on your side, you may even find a gold vein. It’s just a matter of how hard and dedicated you are in finding that gold. It isn’t hard to learn how to make money online but it requires a real effort to make it happen. The key to online success is knowing your strengths and weaknesses. You should also face up to your fears. This means not letting your ego get in the way. You should know when you need to learn new skills or take other steps to improve your business, your knowledge and your money making abilities.

Is an Internet Home Bases Business Opportunity Right for You?
Article Summary: When I think about an Internet home based business opportunity, I think about the freedom that comes from working from my laptop. I picture the freedom that comes from being able to travel and still make money. I especially like the freedom of setting my own hours. An Internet home based business allows me to do everything I want to do.
Sure, what I do is a home based business, but really it is more of a laptop based business. I do my work from the comfort of my laptop. I live in Hawaii and my brother recently got married in Texas. I did not need to take any time off work. I took my laptop with me and worked from Texas. Each night I logged onto my computer and spent a few hours working. I submitted what I needed to do and went on with my vacation. It was wonderful.
In reality, you have the choice too. If you really want the freedom to make money working online, wherever you are, then you need to stop wishing and start doing it. Choose to start doing whatever it takes to start working from home (or from your laptop.)
The first step is to locate the tools needed to start your home based business. A highly paid home based business does not set itself up overnight. It takes specific tools and skills to successfully make money online. Having a good mentor to teach you is always helpful. Sometimes that means finding a good company to start working with. However, you won't ever get your home based business off the ground if you don't start working for yourself.
The benefits of starting with a team of experts are innumerable. Learning how to make money online from experienced home based business experts can prevent you from making the same mistakes they did. They can teach what to do and what to avoid.
If you really want to earn a living from the comfort of your home, quit thinking about it and start planning your success.

Is it Possible to Make Money Online in MLM without Money and Experience?
Article Summary: Besides the plethora of mental obstacles that you'll face in MLM, many of you will also face some pretty tough physical obstacles. When I say physical obstacles I don't mean your physical body but rather things like not having any money to start out with, not having experience, etc. We'll work with those two issues in this article because they are the problems that most will encounter in the beginning.
Lack of money is very common and so if you're having this problem yourself right now, don't feel bad. First of all, you're not alone. More than half of the people we work with have some sort of problem relating to a lack of funds. Second of all, there are tons of things that you can do despite not having funds to market your MLM business both offline and online.
It doesn't cost a dime to talk to people and talking to people is the cheapest and probably the most immediately effective thing that you can do for your MLM business in order to make money.
What can be faster than getting on the phone with someone or talking to someone face to face and getting them interested in your products or business opportunity? Sometimes that’s all it takes. Of course, if you want to reach a wide audience you will probably have to advertise in some way and that will probably cost you money, but you can at least get started with a word of mouth campaign.
Okay, so talking to people is free as it comes and you can start immediately. And don't worry about ridicule, as I've said in the past... it will happen.
So let's move on to online stuff. There is a plethora of activities that you can do online for free. You don't have to create a fancy website to drive traffic to your offer. Most likely with your opportunity you were given a free website to promote and to point people to. If not there are still ways to work around that.
You can simply create something as good as a regular website for free using WordPress, Blogger or Weebly. I would consider Blogger or Weebly your best bets in the beginning. As soon as you can though, you should get your own hosting and domain name on a Wordpress platform.
There's also article marketing, free classified ads, forum marketing, etc. There are a lot of things you can do to make money online without spending any money.
Alright, now let's talk about lack of experience.
I know that at some point while you were signing up for your business opportunity you were wondering "why would anyone ever listen to me about a business that you're I'm not even successful at yet".
You probably even told yourself that you'll wait until you’re successful before you'll tell anyone about it. That's about as oxymoronic as it gets... it’s also the ultimate losing situation. You have to promote your opportunity, you have to talk to people about your opportunity, or you'll NEVER succeed... and neither will they.
The fact is that the MLM business is constructed in such a way that you have an upline in place to help you every step of the way. That's what makes it so easy for everyday people to succeed. You must embrace that part of the business. If your immediate upline is an idiot and can't or won't help you, then go over their head to the next person until you find someone who will.
They are the experts and you're merely the introducer and matchmaker at this point. Down the road you will be the expert and have matchmakers under you. Until then, use this system and you'll begin to see success faster than you ever thought possible. To learn how to make money online you need to have your eyes open and accept that you need to learn before you’ll be able to teach.

How to Make Money Online – How Important is Social Media
Article Summary: According to Jim Tobin and Lisa Brazier's book by the same name, "Social Media is a Cocktail Party." In this book the authors enumerate rules of engagement that work successfully in both the online Social Media and the everyday cocktail party. So, if you know how to behave, mingle and network at a cocktail party, you’d better apply that knowledge to the online social media as well.
Looking at the social media world, there's a cocktail party every minute of the day, you just have to be online and know how to get into the middle of it without paying for advertisement or how to throw your own physical cocktail party.
There are plenty of social media venues that you can take a look at and you can hopefully become proficient with all of them: Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Flickr, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit and Technorati to name just a few that you might know already. There's a lot of potential right here, don't waste it! There is not limit to how much you can make money using these sites and to how much they can help you make money working online.
If you take your cell phone with you everywhere like I do, you can be connected to these social media sites throughout the entire day, no matter where you are. Just send one little text, update your status and the world knows that you're still alive and kicking. It’s as simple as that! Please remember the importance of being on people's minds at all times. You never know when the need for what you offer will hit them and then there you are, reminding them you are there to fulfill their needs. Or maybe their best friend gives them a call complaining about this one thing, and your contact remembers that you actually offer a solution to that exact problem. Bingo! Can you say new customer, easy referral and sure purchase at the same time?
Sixty percent of the Americans that use social media interact with businesses on these websites already. So, you’d better get a piece of that pie and as soon as possible.
Thirty six percent of online users have a better attitude towards companies that use social media, according to a Universal McCann research project.
Why not take that information to heart and add all those social media sites to your favorites? Remember that as an Internet marketer you’ll need to take advantage of every opportunity to make money online if you want to be successful.

Article Summary: The role of affiliate marketing in providing a sustainable income for those who make money working online is unimaginable. Both the merchant and the affiliates benefit immensely from this type of online marketing.
But the amount of ways to make money from affiliate marketing and the success of any affiliate marketing program will depend on the tact and strategies employed by the affiliates in terms of promotion, advertisement and the actual selling of the merchandiser's products or services. This becomes very pertinent and necessary owing to the heated competition that this industry attracts. If the affiliate's promotion strategy is too basic and non-convincing then both the merchant and the affiliate will fail to make money online.
It is a well known fact that advertising and promotion is cost-effective in an affiliate program. Also, the risk involved in affiliate marketing advertising practices is quite low in comparison with conventional promotional activities. With affiliate programs offering such huge advantages it really is amazing that some people still manage to fail with them. Actually, the reasons for these failures are fairly obvious, but they can so easily be avoided.
Persistent Efforts And Hard Work Is Essential
Persistent effort and hard work in promotion and advertising is required to achieve the desired result. Convincing and valuable advertising is the bedrock of affiliate programs as well as any conventional business. Most affiliate marketers seem to depend entirely on fate or luck to get potential customers to their business sites. They forget that getting the attention of potential customers and directing them to their sites is not as easy as the traditional way of scouting for customers. Therefore, if you want to make big bucks from an affiliate program you must be ready to put in the necessary effort and to spend time researching where to place your ads. With competition getting fiercer by the day, the need to develop very strong promotion for the merchant's products cannot be overemphasized.
Adequate Preparation Will Prevent Failure
Whether you are an affiliate merchandiser or marketer, you must be well prepared. Before making any kind of start you should make sure you know exactly how to make money online with affiliate marketing. Extensive research is also important to the success of affiliate programs. The business owner must ensure that all possible means, in terms of best affiliate sites, has been well explored before a choice is made. On the other hand, an affiliate marketer must research and choose the merchant whose products or services best suit his skills and interest. This will allow him to put every necessary effort into making the affiliate venture a successful one.
Hard work and adequate preparation cannot be separated from affiliate marketing if meaningful success is to be achieved. There are other factors you must consider also but these are the most important and basic ones.

How to Make Money Online: Lead Generation Problems with Social Media Marketing
Article Summary: Internet marketing is a dynamic business which utilizes and teaches skills that apply to any business venture. For this reason it is good for anyone who wants to make money working online to know a little about Internet marketing.
However, as I have found, it can become extremely rewarding when one decides to dedicate oneself to becoming a master marketer. As you would imagine, becoming a master marketer is a learning process but it is worth the effort because it can result in financial freedom and the ability to make money online with less effort. Achieving financial freedom is seldom easy and even as a master Internet marketer you will face your fair share of challenges. One of the marks of a master marketer is how easily they are able to generate leads. I am now going to share you one of the challenges facing modern internet marketers, lead generation on social media outlets, as well as how to deal with this problem.
The issue I am addressing here is the massive increase in social media marketing outlets. This is actually both a challenge to the Internet marketer as well as a great opportunity to make money. It is a challenge because very few people know how to effectively use social media sites to generate leads. This lack of knowledge, coupled with the massive increase in social media outlets, often leaves an Internet marketer feeling overwhelmed. They become overwhelmed because they try to join as many groups and make as many friends as possible. This takes a lot of time but doesn't always produce results. I myself have been down this path and have spent months promoting by business on social media sites without receiving a single sale as a result. I don't want you to make this mistake.
Here’s how to make money online with social media. You must target those that you can quickly develop a relationship with based on a commonality or similar interests. This is important because if someone can relate to you they can relate to your business. If they develop a personal relationship with you it will make them more inclined to work with you professionally. In social media the bottom line is that people need to like you as a person before they will become a lead or invest in what you are promoting. This is much the same as doing business in person. However, the overwhelming size and initially impersonal nature of the social media world confuses most people and this only gets worse as they add thousands of friends or join new groups to try and create business. What many don't initially realize is that while making a supreme effort to promote themselves they have failed to establish any of the personal relationships that are necessary for business relationships to develop.
The best way to target those that you can easily develop a personal relationship with is to do searches for people with common interests or who are dealing with similar issues. After you have located those people, just have a conversation with them and provide content that you think they will consider to be valuable. Share news about your common interests or even a joke or two. Never forget to continue to give your attention to those with whom you have established relationships because if you suddenly stop communicating they will become disinterested and it will be difficult to regain the attention. As I said earlier, the increase in the number of social media networks is great for online business because, if used effectively, you can reach far more people in a much shorter period of time than has ever before been possible. Just remember that you target the right people so that you don’t waste your time.

After I signed up that was when I started to really see the potential in this business. What I wasn't expecting, and what hadn't happened in any of the other programs I had joined, was the response from my upline – I received welcoming emails from even the creator of the program himself.
The great thing was that they all gave me their contact details (and I don't mean just email addresses, phone numbers and skype user names) so I was actually able to talk to them. I had done it. I had actually found a real business that I was eager to get started with. I was finally ready to make money.
I was expecting to have to fork out money on advertising but was told that I wouldn't need to unless I wanted to. And that was when I discovered the best thing about this program, most of the advertising was free using social networks like Twitter, MySpace, You Tube and Facebook and other free advertising techniques.
Since starting with the program my dream to make money working online has been a huge success. I met loads of great people and we all share information and help build each others businesses (and have a lot of fun doing it).

Learn How to Avoid the Most Common Mistakes of Affiliate Marketing
Article Summary: If you've started an affiliate marketing business with the aim to make money online, there is no turning back. You will want to do everything possible to succeed in your own business.
Statistics have shown that more people fail in this business than those who succeed. Believe it or not this is actually good news for you. You can learn how to make money online in the same way as those who have gone before you, but to avoid the mistakes that they made.
Don't Get Shortchanged on Commission
The most important lesson you can learn from the mistakes of failed affiliate marketers is to not get shot changed on commission. Check that you are getting the commission you deserve from the sales that you have made through your affiliate promotions. It is a common practice in affiliate marketing to reduce your commission whenever products have to be returned. While this seems fair, be aware that there are some dishonest merchants out there who will try to make money by using this same practice to cheat you out of your commission. It is important that you read and understand their refund policy and how it affects your commission.
Keep a close tab on your commission and any adjustments being made to the merchant’s commission policy. You need to ascertain which deductions are genuine and which ones look suspicious. If there are irregularities in your account check to see if there is a pattern.
If the return rate is exceptionally high for the affiliate products that you promote, it could mean that your customers aren't satisfied with the product or service. Not only will this mean a drop in your commission, it could be indicative of a problem with the affiliate company. It may be a good time to look for a better affiliate marketing company if this happens.
Keep these things in mind while you are trying to make money working online. It could mean the difference between a stable, successful business and a struggling one.
May your success be more than you can hold!

Learn How to Bring the Money Home
Article Summary: ‘Make money at home’. This is one of the most searched "phrases" on the Internet. Not surprisingly, when you type this or similar phrases like ‘make money online’ or ‘make money working online’ into a search engine, you will get thousands of results. Some of these sites are legit, while some are nothing more than scams. So, how do you know which ones are legitimate?
We have all been there. I, myself, have fallen for a few of these scams. But there are a few out there that are the real thing. They deliver what they promise, and teach you how to make money online. In this article I am going to tell you what to watch for so you don’t fall prey to the scams like I did.
Most people think that if a website asks for money up front it must be a scam. This is not true. There are legitimate sites that ask you to pay for the ebook up front to cover the costs. Anyone who has ever published anything (online or off) knows that there are costs. If they are asking only for the cost of the publishing, then they are probably legit. They are only trying to cover their expenses.
I, personally, have paid out shipping and handling costs on many of the programs I use and I can tell you from experience that it was worth it. Even the ones that were scams. I say this because it was a learning experience. I learned to always investigate. You have to be cautious of the programs you choose. The Better Business Bureau is an excellent source.
There are many online programs that will give you an excellent source of income. I use many of them myself. Affiliate programs are a great place to start. If you are new to Internet marketing, affiliate marketing is the first thing you should try. You can learn from others as you go and it will not cost you a single cent. Nothing. Not a dime. All you have to do is sign up with a company as an affiliate and start marketing their product by placing ads, writing blogs, or writing articles. Easy, huh? Does it seem like a genius wrote this? No. It's just me. I am writing this to you just as you would talk to any of your friends. Can you do that? If you answered yes, then BOOM! You have what it takes to be an affiliate marketer.
Give it a try. The only investment required is a little time. You can do it while watching tv. What else are you doing? You may as well take a shot at making some money. Wasted time makes a wasted life. Don't waste your life. Use your time wisely.
May your success be more than you can hold!
We have all been there. I, myself, have fallen for a few of these scams. But there are a few out there that are the real thing. They deliver what they promise, and teach you how to make money online. In this article I am going to tell you what to watch for so you don’t fall prey to the scams like I did.
Most people think that if a website asks for money up front it must be a scam. This is not true. There are legitimate sites that ask you to pay for the ebook up front to cover the costs. Anyone who has ever published anything (online or off) knows that there are costs. If they are asking only for the cost of the publishing, then they are probably legit. They are only trying to cover their expenses.
I, personally, have paid out shipping and handling costs on many of the programs I use and I can tell you from experience that it was worth it. Even the ones that were scams. I say this because it was a learning experience. I learned to always investigate. You have to be cautious of the programs you choose. The Better Business Bureau is an excellent source.
There are many online programs that will give you an excellent source of income. I use many of them myself. Affiliate programs are a great place to start. If you are new to Internet marketing, affiliate marketing is the first thing you should try. You can learn from others as you go and it will not cost you a single cent. Nothing. Not a dime. All you have to do is sign up with a company as an affiliate and start marketing their product by placing ads, writing blogs, or writing articles. Easy, huh? Does it seem like a genius wrote this? No. It's just me. I am writing this to you just as you would talk to any of your friends. Can you do that? If you answered yes, then BOOM! You have what it takes to be an affiliate marketer.
Give it a try. The only investment required is a little time. You can do it while watching tv. What else are you doing? You may as well take a shot at making some money. Wasted time makes a wasted life. Don't waste your life. Use your time wisely.
May your success be more than you can hold!

How to Make Money Online and Leave the Grind of a Nine to Five Job
Article Summary: The internet is becoming the new place to look for work and make money. There are jobs from marketing to writing available on the internet. If you type a keyword phrase such as "online money making opportunities" into your favorite search engine, the result will be thousands of websites, each offering different opportunities to work from the comforts of your own home via the internet.

You can also find many different websites that will teach you how to create your own websites to market your services, goods, or information. They will teach you the importance of the main keyword that you use so that you get traffic coming to your site. Many people make large amounts of money by simply building a website and filling it with articles about a particular topic. Once they get a good amount of traffic, and it is pretty steady, they will then sell the website, making a lot of money in the process. You don't have to be a genius to carry out this type of marketing strategy; you just have to be willing to learn.
You will find that there are many other ways to make money online too. These include blogging through paid websites, affiliate marketing, and creating your own online business. You can also develop, buy and sell domain names, register for one or several of the "get paid to" websites (which usually involve reading emails or taking surveys) or get hired as a virtual worker from a company. You could also sell your services as copy writer, web designer, or programmer. You could create a product and sell it online alongside products that you already have. This is called the online retail trade.
There are many people who register with the online auction sites. This is like having your own garage sale but with a lot more people being able to view your items. Many people have sold items from rocks to rare antiques and collectibles. You can make a huge profit on something that might seem worthless to you. The great thing about these auction sites is that the price of your product keeps going up and up as more people bid. If somebody wants the item badly enough they will keep bidding on it, giving the seller much more money than they expected.
There a lot of different ways to make money working online so there must be atleast one that you can take advantage of.
May your success be more than you can hold!

The 10 Laws for Writing Letters that Get Results.
"The 10 Laws for Writing Letters that Get Results."
By Joe Vitale
The following is a letter in response to a question
about how to write sales letters. This is something you
could model in layout, tone, and ideas, to write your
own letters. By the way, this is where your letterhead
should go.
Dear Fellow Chicago Seminar Attendees,
Jerry Jenkins asked me to tell you how to write letters
that get read and get results. That's a tall order!
Well, here's what I think the "laws" are:
1. Know what's in it for your reader.
Get out of your ego and into your reader's ego.
Complete this sentence: "Get my book so that you can...
(fill in the blank)." Your book (or whatever you are
selling) is the feature. What people get as a result
of having your book is the benefit. Focus on benefits.
Always! Without this, your letter will bomb.
2. Write a headline that telegraphs the key benefit
to your reader.
ALWAYS use a headline. There is only ONE exception to
this rule. When you personalize your letter, the "Dear
(whoever)" opening becomes your headline. There are
few headlines more powerful than the reader's own name.
The headline is THE most important part of your letter!
Spend nearly all of your time on it.
3. Be brief.
Say what you have to say in terms of the reader's self
interest and shut up. This does NOT necessarily mean a
short letter. If you are trying to make a sale, and
the reader has never heard of you or your item for
sale, you may have to write four or more pages to get
your message across. If all you want is a return call,
a one page letter may do. Don' be afraid of length.
People will read any length of copy AS LONG AS IT'S
INTERESTING!
4. Always use a PS.
Always. Why do copywriters who charge upwards to $15,000
to write a sales letter and have weeks to draft it always
use a PS? They are always read. Always.
5. Look good.
Visual attractiveness accounts for 70% of your letter's
impact. Use short sentences, short paragraphs, bulleted
points, indented paragraphs, subheads, etc. Some people
will just skim your letter, so engaging subheads and
bulleted points help reach them instantly.
6. Outline first.
Use a planning tool to help you think through your
message. Or talk to a friend. Or to a tape recorder.
Or to yourself. This also helps you get comfortable
with speaking your letter rather than writing it.
7. Write first, edit last.
Turn your inner editor off. You can rewrite later. For
now, write spontaneously and quickly to get your ideas
on paper.
8. Ask for something.
Why are you writing? You want a call. Or an order.
Something. Say so!
9. Get a reader.
Find one person to read your letter OUT LOUD in front
of you. If he (or she) has trouble reading your letter,
if he wrinkles his brow or stops to reread a sentence,
rewrite those places. Don't skip this step! It's the
secret of many professional writers.
10. Rewrite your letter again.
Is it the best you can do? Be honest! If not, throw it
away and call the person instead. Or hire a copywriter
to write it for you. Why waste your time or your
reader's with something that doesn't communicate in
a persuasive and interesting way? (I rewrote this
letter 24 times!)
Well, there you have it. Of course, there are more
rules, laws, ideas and suggestions for writing letters
that get results. You should always guarantee whatever
you are selling, for example, and always offer proof
for all of your claims. But the above will get you
rolling.
