Copywriting. The fine art of being able to move people solely with your words. If you're good at copywriting, you can basically write your own ticket to your future. Good copywriters have the ability to get people to do what they want them to, when they want them to do it. This is a huge asset.
This is the best business skill you can learn. Great copywriters aren't born, but learn and evolve. The best can command top rates easily and usually write for corporations or ghostwrite for the best marketers out there. Those that hire them will invest thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to have them write a single sales pages or multiple pages because it's a very good investment and will generate thousands or even millions of dollars in revenue.
There are master copywriters out there who will charge you upwards of $10,000 for a single sales page and you know what? It's worth every penny. Two of my favorite copywriters are John Carlton and Perry Marshall. These guys are masters of their trade and their copywriting courses cost thousands to join. Again, worth every penny.
I've been asked numerous times. What's the best skill I can learn for running my own business and make my bottom line better? This is always my answer. If you're a good copywriter and can emotionally move people with your words and create trust, you're bound to be successful in whatever you choose.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've been asked that question.
Before I give you the answer, let me give you some cold, hard facts.
Fully 95% of people that try to make a living from the internet fail. I'm not talking about making an income, but a living. Why? Various reasons. What's the main one? They don't know how. Their heart is in the right place, they have the incentive and reasons – they just don't know what they're doing. It's no more complicated than that.
That's also why these let's say, disreputable companies, can relieve so many people of their hard earned cash simply by promising to show them the bright burning path, but they always leave parts of the road map out. Just enough to keep you coming back. Believe me, I know. .
There's a reason why I put my post "A concept to get almost anything accomplished" up early on. Hopefully you read it and it started you thinking.
The answer to the first question is actually two. Terror and Confidence.
Terror-being so afraid you may fail that you won't. You don't have the weekly paycheck coming in to rely on. You have to count on yourself completely. So it's very good to know what you're doing.
Confidence-in yourself to continue making a living with your business as it evolves and so do you and love what you do.
I was given a little nugget of information early on that I'd like to share: Treat it like a business, not a hobby. Simple, succinct and to the point.
I'm offering you a chance to learn how to start and run your own internet business in this post. I'll also tell you this is the course I took years ago and I still use today to find answers because it's constantly updated. When I took it, it was called the Insider Secrets Course.
The reason I started this blog was to give people a way to make an informed decision . If you're a current reader, you know I don't sugar coat things and I come to the point quickly. You also know that I'll only share what I've personally used and can recommend as the best out there.
Let me be blunt: I don't care if you invest in everything I suggest on this blog or nothing at all.. I'm just giving you the truth about what works and what doesn't and you can make your own decisions. I feel something as important as learning how to start your business and change your future is pretty important. If you don't know what the hell you're doing, how can you possibly be successful ?
I'd like to ask a favor though. If you do take the course, please send me a testimonial with your link when your business is up and running. I'd like to post it here on the blog
The real reason why most people struggle or even fail when they start a business, any business, is they really aren't sure what they're doing. This is especially true of the on-line business. Because the Internet changes constantly, about every 8 or 9 months actually, and your advertising that worked in the past won't work now.
I'm a home business owner. If I tried to use the same forms of marketing I did a few years ago (even a few months ago), I'd fall flat on my face. The Internet arena evolves and you must evolve with it. Think about it. A while back we started to put video and audio on websites. Now it's commonplace. Web 2.0 came about a while ago and now it's all the rage. We'll graduate to something else in the months ahead.
However while the methods have evolved, theprinciples have remained the same. In marketing, you still need to GRAB someone's attention and be able to HOLD it through your entire message. So how long do you have to grab someone's attention?
About six seconds. That's the amount of time a person will either stay with you or go skating away to another web page. This is where the fun comes in. This is also where the money comes in. If you can hold someone's attention for that initial six seconds and keep them reading, you can make good money at this online marketing game.
The principles are pretty simple. Know your "target market" (You won't sell a lot of ice to people living in the Arctic) and you must make the person reading your sales copy want to read it to the end and take the appropriate action.
This is the tricky part. You can swing the odds in your favor though by learning about your target market. Learn what they want and expect. Use the Google Adwords tool . It's invaluable.
Cater to them and learn the wonderful art of marketing. Read everything you can about how the ultra successful marketers do what they do. How? Subscribe to their newsletters and see how they write the wonderful emails and splash pages they do.This didn't happen by accident. If you're successful at marketing a product, you'll convert sales of your own product or people will pay you good money if you can sell their product.
You can never learn too much and you can never put a price tag on an investment in yourself. Learn the art of marketing and believe in yourself and who knows, maybe you can sell ice to people living in the Arctic!
Seems Everyone today wants to start a business and work for themselves.
And why not?
The economy is still in the tank and there's a number of reasons why you'd like to start a business.
The key to success is to do something you love – whether you'd be paid for it or not.
If you love what you do, you'll become a success.
Please notice I said become.
Basically, here's the roadmap:
1. Determine what it is you love to do.
2. Apply this to the business you'd like to begin.
3. Find the quickest way from point A to B.
3. Rinse and repeat.
It's no more complicated than that. And this works for everything – especially an online business.
Here's a tip I'll share with you right now for an online business.
Use every piece of software at your disposal. Whatever you can use to help you get the job done quicker or more efficiently, why not use it?
Google some of the business, design, email software available now to help you run a business and it's amazing. And there's more arriving every day.
Here's another tip: Never stop learning. Everything new you learn will make you more valuable.
Here‚s a trick I use: When you learn something new, write it down (or copy & paste)
into a journal on your computer. Keyword the journal entry – so it's searchable.
You learned this once, you don't need to learn it again – but you will probably need to go back and reference it at a later time.
Think about it. If you learn one new thing every day, you'll know 30 new things by the end of each month, or 360 a year.
