Ha ha just ran across an article I wrote back in the Demand Media days, maybe 2012 or so. Demand went on to essentially collapse and transform into Leaf Group. This particular article has made the rounds on various properties. I believe ItStillRuns is this story’s sixth different home. The article i...

My mother always taught me that men are very stupid and need a woman in their lives to keep them from doing stupid things. She believed that women should control the checkbook, the household and the government. Unfortunately, she was a liberal New England Republican who campaigned for the ERA, but m...

It’s also important to remember that half the population doesn’t live in a city. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that lots of people aren’t anywhere near urban centers. I live 20 miles from the nearest town and it’s only got 600 people in it. There are still lots of places where people don’t spend a l...

Hi. I am new to freelancing full time, but I’ve been slaving in the content mill salt mines for 10 years. Texbroker, Demand Media, Constant Content, Writer Access, Freelancer, Odesk, Elance, a whole bunch more that aren’t even around anymore. Originally started with this stuff just for a little extr...

Designating your subheaders as H2 (the title on a WordPress blog post is H1) lets Google identify what the content is about and also does what SARubin mentioned, makes it bold and draws the eyes to it. Try Different Methods of Presenting Points Use somewhat shorter paragraphs than you might see in p...

One thing I do is start writing absolute stream of consciousness. Use an open like in Leaving Las Vegas or something… “We were somewhere out past the county line when we saw the body.” or similar and just write gibberish that doesn’t have to make a story, create a real paragraph or anything else. It...

I actually have 2, umm, okay 3 ideas;)

As a new copywriter, the 3 particular areas that I used to struggle with a lot were;

• pricing

• good swipe file materials and templates

• templates for business

Whoops! That might qualify as 4 potential topics.

Just a few thoughts!

This post is a few months old but thought I’d share my opinion if that’s alright. For me…it’s just lukewarm. I am a Netflix user. I’ve seen a few emails like this since signing up several years ago, this ad isn’t exactly missing the ‘why?’, but imho, they are displaying ‘why’ with a laissez faire at...

Makes me think of this thing I saw on Facebook once:

Depending on the scopes of the dating site, I think the third headline would works best for the emotional hook: “find your soulmate” speaks of a longer-term view of love than “find your perfect match”, since the latter could work even for a short-term relationship.

Just my two cents.

I just started reading the Gary Halbert letters. Lots of good info on that site.

I just started reading the Gary Halbert letters. It’s not a book, but it’s still good reading.

After your suggestion I am now reading the book Wired For Story.

Do you sell the same product or service differently, based on the gender of the buyer? And if you do… In what ways is it different? I like to think both genders are equal but I know there are differences. And like you taught me before, if we try to appeal to everyone we end up appealing to no one. ...

Yeah, I really liked the idea of @SARubin. Still, A landing page in my knowledge is a page where your leads or the people [YOU want to visit your site] came to visit. It may be a page like: yoursite.com/landing-page yoursite.com yoursite.com/blog/anypost or even that whole blog page sometimes e-mail...

Yep, a landing page is whatever page they land on when they hit your site.
