The Writer You Want is now on Facebook!

And 500,000 light years late.

Frankly, I’d rather help design facebook pages and write copy for them (like this one and that one) than focus on building my own. However, for some sort of twist of fate, I’ve decided to heed the call of Mark Zuckerberg and open our doors to his social empire.

To jumpstart my page, I’m asking for your help. For those of you who don’t know, one needs at least 25 LIKES for one to have a decent looking facebook url. (i.e. https://facebook.com/thewriteryouwant , NOT https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Writer-You-Want/198382680220447)

In return, I’m giving out a free internet marketing course composed of 12 lessons of high value content, perfect for anyone who not only wants an overview of the basics of making money online, but is also loooking for a hold-your-hand, step-by-step practical approach.

P.S. You’ll get access to the course link after you LIKE the page. Below is an overview of it. Read more

Business To Business Copywriting Secrets

If you want to increase your marketing results and get more qualified leads, you will need to improve the effectiveness of the copywriting on your website, print ads, emails and direct mail.

This is vital because copywriting is your “salesperson in cyberspace, in print and in the mail” … and great salesmanship produces great sales … average salesmanship gets only average or worse results.

Here are some copywriting secrets that will improve your marketing results. I got this from a company that provided copywriting work for over 450 businesses since 1978. A must-read!

This is a list of what your prospect is thinking as he reads your marketing copy.  It’s important to make sure everything is addressed on this list.  If you do this, your marketing results will improve dramatically.

1.  You’d better have done your research to know what benefits I want most from your type of product or service.  If you don’t, I won’t even notice you, and if I do, I won’t even give you a hearing.

2.  What do you do?  How will it help me? I need to know “what’s in it for me” instantly or I’m gone.

3.  Why should I believe you? Read more

Hostgator Goes 40% Off for Today Only!

ONLY FOR TODAY!

I know a good deal when I see one and my favorite web hosting provider who literally eats up the competition just gave a good deal. For one day only, in celebration of July 4, and as you are reading this (hopefully it’s not too late), Hostgator slashes 40% off on all its web hosting plans with the lowest at $2.48/month (for unlimited domains!).

Affordable, reliable and world-class is all I can say about this hosting company, which I’m an avid user of. And expect the coolest, friendliest and most helpful customer reps! Sounds exaggerated but that’s the truth. Read more

Saying Yes to Success

Late post. Because a lot has happened as of late. But as the law of duality goes, everything that happens, both good and bad, is ultimately for one’s good. Especially for those who are in Christ (Romans 8:28).

So to highlight one of the good and memorable things that happened to this international online copywriter … a couple of weeks ago, someone called me up and invited me to be his guest in his weekly show, Success TV.

That someone is the Philippines #1 Motivational Speaker and Success Coach, John Calub. I have previously attended two of his seminars and they are both awes-mazing (awesome and amazing).

John’s success story can be found in the video below. I am grateful to have him as one of my teachers and mentors in life. And also a privilege to showcase what I know to the viewers and listeners of his show, make a difference and be a blessing. Read more

Writing For Fun And Profit! – 5 Easy Steps

Every writer dreams of the day when they can profit from their writing. While income opportunities abound for writers, each method has drawbacks.

Newspaper and magazine reporters can make a good living but their subject matter is often closely regulated and directed. Corporate writing can be even more lucrative but even more tightly controlled. Freelance writing offers more freedom but is also more uncertain. Publishing books is even more uncertain. So what is a writer to do?

Forget all those old-school writing methods and focus on the Internet. Don’t write for anyone but yourself. You really can profit from writing only about what interests you. Don’t worry about the market or the editors. Write for yourself. Not only will it be more fun and rewarding for your soul but for your checking account as well.

I am going to share an easy (and cheap) 5-step formula that can help you start your own writing business today, but first I want to share one important fact:

This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It will take some time to earn, perhaps as long as three months to begin turning a profit, but if you keep working at it you should see your income grow exponentially each month and you should be able to count on that income and know what you have to do to increase it. You will have total control over your income and that is very powerful. Read more
