The Author WithinJust about every marketer on
Internet claims to be
best around and will lead you to believe that no one else knows as much or can teach you as quickly and thoroughly as they can. It would seem that they erroneously assume that by admiring someone else’s teachings they will lessen their marketability as
“great persuader” in salesmanship.
In truth, while they may not admit it publicly, every marketer studies
technique or style of others on a continuing basis. I’ll be
first to admit that I seek out, read and revise my methods of copywriting thanks to
best of
best. And I have discovered that even perfection is often flawed.
We are in an age where videos, movies, television, radio and computer games scream for our attention. They produce more information than anybody can possibly retain. Therefore, if I want to hold someone’s attention, make a written offer that compels them to read to
last line and reach for their wallet --- then I must learn to outshine my competition and dazzle my readers.
If you think back, I’m sure you remember times when you were reading something so mesmerizing that you never heard
phone ring, or if you did you didn’t answer it. So absorbed were you that you didn’t realize where an hour had gone… or, held up a halting hand when someone attempted to interrupt you with a question. Yeah, I’ve been there too. And that’s exactly
kind of writing that I’m talking about.
