Mayberry Square is a quaint "old fashioned" planned community with business owners and home owners sharing community. Along with CookiePots is Floyds, an old fashioned Barber Shop, Mayberry Diner, Dessert Depot and a quaint coffee shop called Nautica.

The cookie designs are unique to CookiePots. I use every event, every opportunity in life to inspire me towards future designs. When a tentative idea becomes a full fledged CookiePot design, image is done first in pen and ink and supplied to two contract bakeries who manage to produce these into fabulous edible cookies! In addition to "stock" designs that we offer for occasions such as: new babies, birthdays, thank you - we offer unique items each holiday to compliment season. And so that people could look to CookiePots for a constantly changing line of ideas, we gradually added non food items to our offering. Now, a customer can not only welcome a new baby with a baby themed CookiePot, but can also include a keepsake handprint kit, a daddy's tool belt and a wonderful plush animal that plays a soothing melody.

This fall, we have designs that showcase children dressed up in Halloween Costumes, complete with cookies decorated like Trick or Treat Bags and perennial favorite (or perhaps just mine – a piece of Candy Corn). For Thanksgiving (CookiePots are a favorite centerpiece with my customers) we will feature bouquets of pumpkins, stalks of Indian corn and adorable scarecrows complete with gourmet chocolate pops of turkeys and pilgrims.

The only drawback to business is that I can hardly enjoy a holiday at appropriate time of year. In July I am planning Christmas designs and in October I am thinking about Valentine’s Day. I suppose many people in retail sales share same “hardship”, but to me, it’s not a high price to pay for doing something that I really love.

Next comes body section where you should include main points and important highlights of article.

Picture it as juicy main course of entire sumptuous feast (yummy)

A simple way to do this is by breaking it down into…

Problem 1 -> solution 1 -> problem 2 -> solution 2 , etc.

If you’re creating a ‘tips’ article, you can simply write about each tip in body section, as with example here.

Tip 1 -> Tip 2 -> Tip 3 , etc.

The body of your article is essentially where real 'meat' is. So do fill it full of quality content to educate and inform readers.

---------------------------------------- Step 4 – Summarize With A Call To Action ----------------------------------------

Always close off your article by summarizing main points and getting reader to take action.

Here’s a quick example of a closing paragraph…

"As revealed, you can lose weight by following steps 1 - 3. Step 1 endorses regular exercise....A little step each day will lead to success so you should really start now"

List benefits and tell readers why they must take action, be it going to a website or subscribing to your ezine.

---------------------------------------- Step 5 – Make ‘Em Click! ----------------------------------------

You’ve not completed your article until you’ve crafted a powerful ‘resource box’ promoting your website, ecourse or an affiliate program.

The ‘resource box’ is really a 3-6 line 'ad' where readers are able to find out more about you.

The easiest way to create your ‘resource box’ is by writing it as a sort of classified ad.

Just as in any good classified ad, your ‘resource box’ should carry a killer description of whatever you’re promoting.

The objective is to get readers to click!

For example, you could write something along lines of… ======================================= Finally! Discover A Lifetime Of Amazing Web Marketing Secrets, Tips And Resources ... In Less Than 30 Seconds And Without Effort! http://www.WebMarketingExposed.com =======================================

Now put everything together in pretty paragraphs formatted to ‘65 characters per line’ standard and… Presto! Your very own little sales machine is born!

You can count on every one of them working like crazy to drive you hordes of paying targeted traffic, even if you do nothing to them from this moment on.
