Simple Copywriting Trick

By John Anghelache

The late, Gary C. Halbert, is my favorite copywriting mentor. Not only was he ultra-successful but he could teach the art and science of crafting ad copy like nobody's business.

One of the things I learned from Gary is the importance of making things easy on yourself. For example, let's say you want to write an ebook on losing weight.

What's the best course of action?

Would it be a good idea to get a degree in a health and fitness field? Would it be a good idea to take years to study the subject? Would it be a good idea to find the best health and fitness product? No. An easier strategy exists to get your hands on the best health and fitness information available. And you won't have to do all the work on your own.

Rather than doing things the old school way, Gary might tell you to go out and get the best sellers on health and fitness. Take all these books and start reading them. As you do so, write down notes in a notebook. Make sure to extract all the really juicy stuff readers would be hot read about.

Then you take all that information and write your own dieting book including only the unique and exclusive stuff from each book. The stuff that does not overlap. What you are left with is a compact book on dieting with all the filler taken out.

That's the way to do it.

This lesson applies to crafting promotions. You can shortcut the entire process and create great space ads... websites... and... other forms of advertising quickly.

What we're talking about here is referred to as swiping in advertising circles. The process simplifies everything for the ad writer. Halbert was big on swiping. He taught it during a copywriting seminar in the mid 1990's. Almost the entire even was about the process of how to swipe to create your own profitable ads.

Forget about learning how to write like the best copywriters. That takes way too much time and is unnecessary. Once you learn how to swipe putting together promotions that bring in money is much easier.

Learn to swipe and life gets easier when preparing ads...

** Writer's block will no longer exist. You'll know where to start and ad. You'll no longer be figuring out what to say. Because the swipe ads give you all that information.

** You'll write promotions at warp speed. Swiping allows you to write faster. Again, part of the reason is because you wont have to guess. You can look at a great ad and almost fill in the blanks with your copy.

** Your copy will be up to 300% more effective. Whenever you model success the odds of success are on your side. When modeling a successful ad you stand a much better chance of writing a winner.

The moral of the story is: start swiping. - 16036

Dirty Dancing Tickets With Amazing Grace

By Matt Ryan

When this low budget film, with a cast of unknown actors and actresses, came out in 1987, it took a whole lot of critics and moviegoers by surprise and by storm. The amazing part is that it manages to surprise and delight audiences to this day. This film has brought in more than three hundred million dollars from all over the world, and set a record in home video sales as the first to sell more than a million copies. The soundtrack produced two multi-platinum albums and a huge number of singles.

The dancing in this movie is certainly "dirty" by most popular standards of 1963, when it takes place. Foxtrot it is not. Mambo to the max is more like it. If you were old enough to see the movie when it first appeared, watching it now is a "trip", and a really good one! The main characters are Frances Houseman, known to family and friends as "Baby", and Johnny Castle, a hunk of a dance instructor. Jennifer Grey is the perfect actress for the role of "Baby", and Patrick Swayze emerges into stardom with his portrayal of Johnny Castle.

The Houseman family is vacationing at Kellerman's, a Jewish resort in the Catskills, and they are honored guests since Baby's father is family physician to the owner of the resort. Baby is seventeen and "couldn't wait to join the Peace Corp and save the world." Her father dotes on her, but expects her to save the world by following in his footsteps. When his "Baby" gets mixed up with the crowd of "dirty dancing" people who party and dance dirty, he is appalled.

Johnny Castle is very much a ladies' man, but until he meets Baby, he has only been using and being used by women. When his dance partner gets a botched abortion, unknowingly financed by Dr. Houseman at Baby's insistence, and she has to call her father to save the dancer's life, the doctor assumes that Johnny is the guilty party and forbids his daughter to have anything further to do with "those people".

But Baby also has the moves, as she and Johnny find out together when she offers to fill in for his partner so he won't lose his job. Both of them have doubts, but Johnny is a peerless teacher, and Baby quickly learns to trust him - and falls in love, of course.

Meanwhile, the Foxtrot and badminton go on, but other dramas are playing out. Lisa confides to Baby that she's planning to "go all the way" with Robbie. Baby knows that Robbie is the father of Penny's aborted child, but their father thinks Johnny is the culprit. When Johnny is accused of theft by one of his many female "conquests" - she's seen him with Baby - he is assumed guilty by almost everyone. Baby knows, and this time Frances tells the truth. Frances, as Johnny tells her, is "a grown-up name".

Dirty Dancing, with all the sensual and provocative dance scenes between Baby/Frances and Johnny, is really about innocence and growing up. Father and daughter gain a new understanding, and Baby begins the process of becoming the woman she was meant to be. The rousing finale, when Johnny makes a decision and pulls Baby out of her corner and into the spotlight, is downright thrilling to watch. In front of Housemans, Kellermans and everyone else, the two of them bring Dirty Dancing to its finest hour!

As it becomes clear that the movie's title involves a few different but cohesive elements, the experience becomes even more enjoyable. The plot is simple, but the action is believable and in the case of the dance scenes, beautifully choreographed by (also then unknown) Kenny Ortega. "Dirty" is the farthest thing from the feeling you will get from this sensual but never sleazy display of youthful energy and abandon.

If you missed this performance in the movie theatres, there may still be a chance to see the Broadway production, which translates very well. It has played to great applause in Germany, England, Canada and Australia, and as of this date is still playing in London. The touring production will be in Boston until March 15th, 2009. Go see it if you can, and if you can't, get the video. This wonderfully Dirty Dancing is too much fun to miss! - 16036

By Steve Siemoreland

Let me repeat that, your own home business, but sick to depth of dead ends, and walls you just dont seem to be able to claim over? I will just say affiliate marketing, thats your home business. How you ask? Training I say, thats all it takes. yes its a real home business can be sustainable and a full time job with income to match.

And you can be a part of it, start earning within the next month if you are willing to put the work in, remember this is a real home business so you need to work at it. The wealthy affiliates university as built their reputation on producing some of the highest earning affiliates on the web today.

The easiest way to explain what affiliate marketing is and is not. It is a real business, its not pie in the sky like most so called home business. This is how it works. you are the middle man/women, you set up a landing page and send targeted traffic to that page. Your visitors click on your affiliate link and you get a commission for the sale, simple, and you learn how to do that. to find and send the targeted traffic to your landing page once you are a member of the wealthy affiliates university you are learnt how to do this.

So this is what happens in the process, a visitor to your landing page, a potential customer as just entered a search phase in to the box at their favourite search engine. A model of a camera they want to buy, they look at the list of pages returned and start to click for more info. If they are happy with the review and price then the next logical step would be to click the buy button. Once that happens the cookie drops and once the sale goes through you make a commission, if they make a purchase.

At that point the cookie is dropped on to the visitors computer, don't worry it's armless, the cookie which records the affiliates details allows the affiliate to get paud a commmison from the mearchant. Sounds easy doesnt it, well in practice it is with the right training.

Wealthy Affiliate University top coaching program. You can learn at your own pace. there is also a lot of help in the forums from top earning wealthy affiliates who have been doing this business for years and earn a full time living from it. Its a home business that just happens, Anyone can succeed at this business.

Many have reported earnings in access of over $200 daily wile others have reported $10,000 monthly payouts. this is a hart warming comment because many had know type of affiliate experience before their coaching at the wealthy affiliate University so for them it was their first time.

There is a yearly or monthly subscription to pay, but anyone would understand that due to all the resources that any educational establishment have to make available to their students. but unlike most to start with you can go for the monthly subscription just in case you don't get on with the work load, don't get me wrong you can learn at your own pace ,but of cause the more work you put in to your studies, the quicker you are likely going to start hitting those big pay days, but you can cancel at any time, if you wish to leave the university.

The affiliate business is ideal for work at home mums and dads, or anyone who wants to set up a high earning home business that is a real business, it's flexible and runs on autopilot for the most, and for the student who is willing to put just a little hard work in to it, there is a very high earning potential, if to willing to follow the teaching instructions given to them in their learning materials,

It is my understanding that all the tools needed to achieve and learn are given free by the wealthy affiliate university, so no money is needed except your monthly subscription. Web sites and landing pages. Tracking tools, site builders, rapid article writers and such are made available among other things.

Since the wealthy university was set up online back in 2004 it as come on in leaps and bounds. well over 90,000 have passed through, with many still staying around years later. theses are the back bone of the forums, and most of the new students lookup to them for help and guidance which is duly given. Advanced wealthy affiliates do a lot of the coaching should new students require it.

To test this out myself I made a guest posting asking for help to optimise a landing page that had not been converting well. to my amazement in just a short time I had offers to optimise it on my behalf, along with a list of proposals to make it look and feel better to my visitors. I found this truly amazing just how close and helpful this community is. people actually physically happy to set up my landing page optimization for me.

Just browsing the excellent forums gives you a excellent over view of jus what a close community the wealthy affiliate is, it seems that everyone is willing to help one and other to achieve their goals. - 16036

End The Madness:Know The Common Debt Consolidation Terms

By Frank Froggatt

When you get into debt there are lots of things that get clouded. First Off you have got to work out a budget, then all the bills you possess, your creditors and how much you owe, and even more. It can be a little challenging, so taking that in mind we assembled the following listing of terms to assist you in getting on the appropriate route to being debt free.

Debt Consolidation: This is when you combine all of your debts into one monthly requital, thereby making it easier to realize those requitals.This can hold back late fees and may maybe lower those late fees too.

Unsecured Debt:This is debt that has no collateral. Like credit cards and doctor bills. This term does not include items such as your house, motor boat, Haley Davidson or any such thing merely non material based debt.

Home Equity Loan:For homeowners the equity in your house can be borrowed against to pay back all of your bills or for home betterment. If the improvements increase the economic value of your holding your rates of interest could be very small. Then Again if the money is to be applied for debt consolidation or debt reduction you can count on yielding a higher rate.

Debt reduction- if you already possess bad credit, this might be an alternative for you. This is when a party helps you set aside cash in order to compensate lenders. Ordinarily you will make no payments for well-nigh six months and then you will resolve with your creditors so that you can pay back less in the long run. This can kill your credit, so if there is another option, you should emphatically think about it.

Settlement:Lets say for illustration that you owe 4000 dollarson a credit card or some other non secured debt, but pay under the nominal or can't or even haven't paid at all. They may conciliate for 30-70% less than they are owed in order to ensure that they at any rate get a little of the debt that they are owed. This impacts your credit report as all of your accounts will be labeled "paid as agreed" which bespeaks a non payment.

Debt assistance can be promptly encountered online, but be cautious and do your research to be confident that you use a respected company because scam artists are rampant online. Never expose important information online such as I.D. & SSN of you or your better half without telephoning the Better Business Bureau and checking the validity of the party in inquiry. - 16036
