Re: Truth in Advertising: A Novel

From the description alone, I'm starting to like it. I may not sympathize with a character nearly a decade my senior but I can certainly relate to the corporate alienation being described.

Re: What is the most important factor in the decision to buy something?

The answer to your question is actually any of these things. It can just be one, a pair, or an entire combination. The important thing to remember is to know your target audience. What matters most...

Re: The value of mobile sites to users and businesses

Well the situation you described is an emergency. And if I were a locksmith who somehow needed mobile exposure, I would actually be more concerned with helping people in that regard. That said, I...

Re: How TO WRITE sales copy when you don't NEED to?

So basically, you want to show how happy you are about what you are offering. Is that right? On that note, Joe Ditzel is right to tell you that your passion will be what keeps you from appearing like...

Re: I must suck at copywriting...any advice?

Short answer: Your headline is too long.

Consider me another who is still learning but one of the basics of writing in general is avoiding lengthy headlines. I'd make a good bet that whether it is...

Re: Some one who NEVER intends to write for someone else!

Everyone has already given you good advice so I'm just going to offer something more on the technical side.

Before you start copywriting, pour some energy into just plain, old writing. Period....

Re: Which Headline do You Like Better

The first might only work for a targeted audience (particularly those who see a point in referrals and business cards in the first place).

My opinion leans towards the second one. It feels...

Re: The Secret to Writing Converting Copy

I was about to get back with a similar reply but you beat me to it. :o

I do the same thing when I'm asked to write something extra for another industry. That in itself makes this work fun. You get...

Re: Do you consider a discount as being a "gift?"

You mean there's no willingness to receive a discount?



And a discount can still be discount. I think our disagreements lie more with the fact that you see a discount as immaterial, valueless....

Re: Copywriting in real life?

The only correction I'd like to give the OP is that "Real World" can be a misnomer, especially in a business setting (like WF). Taking part in business (even in the smallest way) already puts you in...

Re: Is Facebook Killing Message Boards?

I actually think that Facebook is the worst substitute for message boards (at least, those who share WF's format).

I say this not just from business experience but from my even longer...

Re: Couple Quick Questions For Copywriters

It would certainly catch me by surprise and would have second thoughts visiting that site again. From my experience, sites like that run a lot of add-ons that pose potential risks to a PC. It's also...

Re: Cold Calling R U getting desperate?

I don't think lack of confidence is just a marketing problem. A lot (if not all) things in business require confidence. You may need confidence to be a marketer but you also need it to be a...

Re: Fiction recommendations?

Well I'm genuinely surprised. As a writer, I actually take my practice in fiction more seriously than I do in business (not that I don't see the importance of the latter as it's the only way I get a...

Thanks! As a copywriter myself, you have taught me a small but very convenient way to send multiple files to my colleagues (and my boss >_<;; ). Thank you! :p

Re: Getting Clients Without Cold Calling?

How new is this method? I mean the company I work for actually uses both in a similar way. If you ask me, both cold calling and email marketing have surprisingly similar stigmas attached to them....

Re: Getting Clients Without Cold Calling?

No offense but I don't think emails are free from stigmas any more than cold calling. In fact, back when I had a phone, I never received a telemarketing call. On the other hand, the spam filter for...

Re: Does grammar affect credibility in your eyes?

Personally I see your point and I say this not really as a business person but one who had to take up linguistics back in college. There's a good case against so-called Grammar Nazism but (and I'm...

Re: How Many People Selling Physical Products

I think you're asking a very, very complicated question.

It's not so much about whether a product is physical or digital but about what purpose they're supposed to serve. For instance, is it...

Re: Can anybody explain to me (and eveyone) why people hack. See my story

Look as much as I am sympathetic towards ideals of vigilante justice, internet hacktivism like this actually insults those ideals.

You're forgetting that hackers hide under the guise of collective...

Re: Going to be on Australias Got Talent

I'm no computer expert but my Dad is one of the people I know who closest to one and I guess I'll just paraphrase what he always says to me about these people.
