EXPLODE YOUR PROFITS...
Skyrocket your business to new heights!
Let me guess what you're thinking: "Debbie has
lost her mind... she's using get rich quick copy
in her e-newsletter." Stay with me for a moment...
I recently attended The
Big Seminar in San Francisco.
It was an
eye-opening, mind-altering, three-day immersion in online
direct response techniques - that work!
First, I met dozens of incredibly sharp, savvy professionals,
many of them veterans of ad agencies and corporate marketing
departments.
Your visitors will beg
to buy from you
Second, I learned there is a more powerful way to sell online.
It leverages the personal, one-to-one nature of the medium,
creating a sense of urgency that makes each visitor
to your site beg to buy your product or service.
I
picked up dozens of specific direct response tips and tactics
you can use to improve conversion and increase sales on
your site, whether it's a Fortune 1000 company, a non-profit
organization or a medium-sized business.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: IF YOU MISSED THE TELECLNIC... |
|
If
you can record your voice mail greeting, you can
make your Web site and emails talk. Or send an audio
postcard like the one I emailed you recently with
an invite to a free teleclinic explaining how it works.
This is the coolest, easy-to-use marketing tool I've
ever seen. Sound nutty? First, listen to my audio
message:
|
Listen to my audio message
Be sure your PC's speakers are turned on.
Ignore the salesy copy on the
AudioGenerator page if it bothers you.
|
Not
to worry if you couldn't dial in to the Sept. 2nd
teleclinic explaining how this works and how you can
use it on your site. (Apologies to those in Europe
and other non-U.S. time zones for whom the hour was
impractical.)
If
you missed the call, you can dial +1 415-273-6177
to listen to the recording of the teleclinic. It's
a bit rough but you'll get the idea.
Then follow the link below to start using Web-based
AudioGenerator. The service is $29.95 a month.
Caution: the copy on this site is in-your-face
and salesy.
Ignore it if it bothers you. AudioGenerator
is great! - DW

... Early morning teleclinic for European subscribers?
If there's enough interest from European subscribers
I will do another teleclinic on AudioGenerator in
the early morning. I'll choose a time (9 AM Eastern)
that will work for those in Europe as well as anyone
in the U.S. who doesn't mind getting up early.
Let
me know if you are interested.
Aussie and Kiwi subscribers?
Hey,
I haven't forgotten you. Let me know if you're interested
and please indicate what time of day works for you.
Please remind
me what day/date your
preferred time translates to in the U.S.
Yours

>> RESOURCE: "Sound
Advice" When Writing for Audio |
|
Perfect
timing! I stumbled across this article by one of my favorite
writers, UK-based copywriter Suze St Maur, when I was putting
this issue together.
She offers great tips for writing audio scripts. You probably
know the obvious one: read it aloud. She offers others:
- write as if you're talking to one person; preferably a
friend
- don't clean up the grammar so it's perfect
- be crisp & uncluttered
It's worth reading the whole article and printing it out,
particularly if you're going to experiment with AudioGenerator:

That Work for Audio: A Little Sound Advice

Last issue I posed the question: Who
wrote this oft-repeated quotation?
|
"Je
n'ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce
que je n'ai pas eu le
loisir de la faire plus courte."
Often
loosely translated as:
"I didn't have time to write a short
letter, so I wrote a long one instead."
|
The
author is Blaise Pascal...
(1623–1662), French scientist
& philosopher
That's according to a number of quick-witted
WordBiz readers who responded instantly to my
challenge.
The gold winners
The following two WordBiz readers were
the first to provide attribution using links
to authoritative sources.
- Steve Myrick (Blaise
Pascal)
- Jill Jensen (Blaise
Pascal)
Kudos also for later entries for Pascal:
- Peter Høvring
- B.L. Ochman
-
Michael
MacKian
-
Laurel Lyon
But what about Mark Twain?
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910),
American writer
Dan Alsip gets the Mark Twain prize, with
no less than three sources:
- Dan Alsip (Mark
Twain Mark
Twain Mark
Twain)
But
other readers insist Twain has been misattributed
with this quote.
Here's
a convincing source from
Steve Myrick to back that up.
Hmmm... I give up. I'm willing to lay this one
to rest on the assumption that smart thinkers
know this to be true:
It's
a whole lot harder to write concisely than it
is to boil down your message.
Thanks
to all who submitted suggestions.
