Apr 22, Review of My Instant Swipe File And Why I Can't Wait to Write My Next Sales Letter!

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:00:43 GMT

I've always been a big fan of swipe files. It's taken me over 10 years to develop a reasonable collection of swipe files to help me with my copywriting. For years I've collected direct marketing pieces, online sales letters, autoresponder messages, etc. that I thought were particularly effective. I have dozens of file folders full of hundreds of pieces... and I drag it all out and spread it all over the living room and my office when I need to get a little copywriting inspiration. That's why I had to Review My Instant Swipe File And Why I Can't Wait to Write My Next Sales Letter Now!

Jun 13, Benefits Vs. Features at Marketing Watch

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 22:00:44 GMT

How to turn features into benefits, why you should avoid boiler plate reviews, and how MWR can help you keep the focus of your business are just a few of the subjects that we'll talk about in this latest issue of Marketing Watch.

Jun 13, MWR Helps You Focus

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 21:30:18 GMT

It's easy to lose your focus when you're developing your site. You start writing your content -- one idea leads to another, and then another. Your excitement builds, and before you know it you've run your website goals into a ditch. I've done it before -- most experienced internet entrepreneurs have. Losing focus costs you a lot of time. You spend a lot of time engaging in activities that aren't directly related to your website goals. Then the lightbulb goes on and you realize that you've lost your focus. Now you have to direct all your energy to trying to correct the content you've already written and re-focus it. You can avoid wasting all that time, energy, and money if you simply remember your most wanted response.

Jun 13, Why You Should Avoid 'Boiler-Plate' Product Reviews

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 21:18:54 GMT

I was getting ready to write a review for a particular marketing product and decided to do a search for other reviews first. I was curious to see what other people thought of the product. When I searched Google, I found four full pages of reviews. Although a little surprised, I still wanted to check them out to see how many were genuine reviews and how many were simply ploys by affiliates to sell the product. In other words, how many affiliates would write glowing reviews for the product just so that they could recommend the product?

Jun 13, How to Turn Features into Benefits

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 19:22:21 GMT

There's nothing like a well ordered list of product benefits to put the pop into a salesletter. Benefits are what give a salesletter its emotion appeal and close the sale... but this is something that even seasoned copywriters get wrong sometimes by using features instead of benefits. Let's talk about the difference between benefits and features and then I'll show you how to turn a feature into a benefit.

Nov 6, Amazing Article Formula Question

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 15:10:11 GMT

Hi Chris, I just finished reading your "How To Make Your Article..." Excellent. One question re SEO. Do I focus only ONE keyword per artcile? How many times should it appear and where? I'm assuming more in the opening paragraph and title? How many hyperlinks should I have on the keyword? Should my bio be unique to the keyword? That would result in LOTS of different bios... ---------- Excellent questions! When I write articles, I usually choose just one keyword per article. You can try more than one, but I wouldn't do more than two or three. If you choose too many keywords, it makes it really difficult to get the keyword density right and also write a readable article. Remember, write for people first and search engines second. When it comes to where those keywords should appear and how many times, everyone has their own opinion. I don't claim to be an seo expert by any stretch of the imagination. Because seo rules and algorithms so frequently, I choose to use a more general tactic that will serve me well regardless of the changes. I go for overall keyword density rather than specific keyword locations with one exception... I always put my keyword within the first sentence of the first paragraph -- usually within the first four or five words. As you mentioned, I also put my keyword in my title. As far as hyperlinks go, I try to hyperlink my keyword once or twice. If you have too many hyperlinks then article directories and your targeted readers will find it irritating. Usually, my only hyperlinks are within the resource box at the end of the article. I try to make those keyword hyperlinks whenever possible. In answer to your question, I do use slightly different resource boxes with each article because I include the entire resource box when I test my article's keyword density. Hopefully that tackled all your questions... Let me know if you need more information.
