In my copywriting coaching program, the very first lesson I encourage all my students to do is one entitled �Persuasion Architecture�. This video tutorial explains how, just like any other type of writing, a sales letter must have a STRUCTURE.

In fact, I would require my students to study famous direct marketing pieces and determine what �persuasion architecture� the copywriter follows. This gives the students practice through this �reverse-engineering� process to appreciate that beyond the words and sentences there must be a certain flow, plan, map, or whatever other name you want to use, to great copywriting.

I�ve only recently completed a Masters Degree program and one of the courses I had to take was �Research Methods�. Apart from teaching you how to carry our academic research, it also has a heavy writing component. The text used for the class for the writing component of the course basically covered things I already knew from copywriting but with an academic twist.

In fact, I got an �excellent� for my writing but the paper mechanics (formatting) was a little lacking. (I just hate all those footnote, bibliography, etc, �rules� that go with academic writing. I guess I�m so accustomed to the freedom of copywriting!)

For example, if you are writing a paper based on a deductive argument then you must start with a thesis statement and �tell the readers what you are going to tell them, then introduce the general topic, narrow your claim, followed by supportive arguments and after �telling them what you told them� you conclude with the claims of the thesis statement and its implications.

In other words, there is a pattern you must follow to make the paper logically connected and lucid. You readers are prepared for what you are about to explain and after you have explained this, summarizing what your paper is about.

As a copywriter, you must also think about the structure you are going to use for your letter BEFORE you even start writing. This would be your plan from which you will build your literary house made up of words, sentences paragraphs and sections.

One of the most common mistakes I see rookie copywriters make is that they concentrate so much on the �power words� and �sounding like a copywriter� that the flow of the letter suffers. The main reasons for this lack of flow arise because:

* The headline does not logically connect with the opening paragraph but addresses two different ideas

* The topic sentence of each paragraph is not logically supported by the following �body� sentences.

* The �transitions� from one paragraph to another is almost ignored so there is an awkward disconnect.

* The right information is given in the wrong places such as the �call to action� given before the list of benefits. (Think AIDA.)

* Too much real-estate is given to a minor selling point.

In order to maintain the �slippery slide� in my letters I always try and write my letters in one sitting. This may sometimes mean writing for 12 hours straight but while I�m writing the last sentence I still have the first sentence in my head. If I do break off from writing I�ll have to start reading from the very beginning to make sure that I have the entire letter in mind. Interestingly, one of the great techniques used by article writers and which can work in sales letter writing is to bring the article full circle by ending on the same idea, story, or issue that you started with.

Now, it would not always be possible to write a long sales letter in one sitting, but in the planning process (just like you �outline� an essay) you can ensure that the letter will flow smoothly from beginning to end. A disorganized sales letter is a major hindrance to persuasion. It is often said that you sell the sizzle but not the steak but even the sizzle must have some rhythm and cadence to it.

When I first started writing my own sales letters for the internet I took a letter written by a top copywriter and studied the patterns he used and did the same for my letter. Do this work? Like gangbusters. No, I wasn�t a �swipe� because the products were different and you will never be able to recognize this as a �swipe� because I borrowed only the �plot� of his letter.

Speaking of plots, (which is another word for the �plan of the story�) just the other day I was telling my kids that the best plots are used over and over again with different story and its no accident the top movies and stories use common plots.

So study those famous pieces in your swipe-file and determine the plan or structure the writer used and borrow those �persuasion architecture� to build YOUR own persuasion masterpieces.

Internet articles are booming business, since there are millions of Internet marketers in need of content for their websites. However, unless a piece of content is spectacular, they may not want to pay more than $3 for it. This is despite the fact that cheaper articles carry greater risks, such as plagiarism or poor content. Yet, for SEO writers, how can they live off of $3 an article? If they�re not writing 100 articles a week, they must find a way to earn more money for each individual piece of content.

Well, consider an interesting combination� Daily Article and the concept of article marketing. In this equation, Daily Article is the place where you would sell your content, while article marketing would be the advertising you would use to drive traffic to your articles.

Confused? Let�s delve into greater detail into why this combination is so powerful. First, consider Daily Article, a site where beginning or even experienced authors can sell their content without the worries of web hosting or site maintenance. All they have to do is upload their article, and within minutes it is available on the Daily Article network. In exchange for this service, Daily Article takes a very small portion from your article sales.

So, Daily Article helps get your content out there. But when it comes to selling it, you will need to do a little bit of extra work if you hope to make money quickly. This is where article marketing comes in, though you will need to be a little creative with the process.

For example, say you want to target Internet marketers who want to promote the term �mesothelioma.� First, you would create articles based on that term. You could even create a mini-ebook if it is at least 10,000 words. Either way, upload your articles onto Daily Article. After your articles are uploaded, post their corresponding URLs onto a separate website. If you don�t know much about website design, you could create a mini-site with Squidoo or HubPages.

Anyway, on this new website, you will want to discuss what mesothelioma is and the amount of money it earns in Adsense revenue. According to Google�s Adwords tool, this amount is currently $23.65 per click. This means that if an Internet marketer knows what they are doing, they could earn over $23,000 for 1,000 clicks on their Adsense ads, (assuming they relate to that term).

Now that you�ve enticed the reader, reel them in by offering them your article. Tell them that it is 100% unique and never seen anywhere else before. And, unlike plr content, your articles are offering exclusive rights. This means that the Internet marketer can do whatever they want with it, without fear of copyright infringement. After that, lead them to all of your Daily Article URLs.

But it doesn�t end there, as the website is only one phase of the article marketing equation. Now, you need to write �free� articles to promote this website. Ezine Articles is one of the best places to do this, though you will need to buy a URL for your website. Either way, you will want to create articles that will drive Internet marketers to your site. So, put a lot of emphasis on keywords like �plr�, �website content,� �cheap articles� and other types of keywords. Keep your content around 250 words, since this amount still allows your reader to see your URL. If you do this appropriately, your website will get indexed in search engines. And, over time, you should start seeing sales in your Daily Article account.

Traffic gurus with magic formulas to sell will lie to you every time. They�ll promise you the secret code for instantly creating all the traffic you want with (enter traffic generator here).

The real story about building and sustaining more Website traffic is this: You must be open to multiple sources of traffic, and you must do a little work each day to build your visitor flow until it gets strong enough to grow on its own.

That�s not the super-sexy pushbutton success secret you want I�m sure. But it�s the truth.

The thing is, most people who claim to be Internet marketers are really losers looking for a handout. They don�t want to actually work for their success, and under no circumstances are they willing to think creatively for long periods of time.

These pretend entrepreneurs are doomed to failure. And if you�re one of them � the folks who whine about poor results while staunchly refusing to get off their butts and get busy � you should move on now because you won�t like the rest of this article.

If, however, you are a serious business owner who wants more traffic for your Website, please continue. As long as your products and services are worthwhile and in-demand, a steady flow of traffic will go a long way towards driving your profits skyward.

As I�ve said already, traffic generation is a process you build with time. And for best results you�ll do this using multiple tactics.

Use Paid Traffic Generators To Get The Ball Rolling

The very first thing you need to do is decide how much money you can spend each month on advertising. Be realistic but bold; don�t risk your mortgage payment but be willing to cut back on hamburgers and DVD rentals if needed.

Once you come up with a solid figure you are willing to spend every month, you can look for the paid advertising opportunities that fit your business model. Generally speaking, paid traffic sources allow you to bring visitors to your site very quickly; so you can set your paid ads into motion and then focus on some more long-term activities like search engine optimization and article marketing.

Avoid blowing your whole ad budget in one week. It�s best to spread your paid promotions out across the month so you can effectively track your results, and so you can develop a steady flow of visitors.

Create Your Own Content And Link Generation Strategy

In addition to paid ads, you should begin developing your own content engine right away. The Web is built on quality content and links, and this is how you�ll create a long-term flow of massive traffic for your Web properties.

You should update your blogs often, and I recommend leveraging multiple blogs. Some of your blogs will be installed on your domain(s), while others will be part of the large free networks like Blogger and WordPress.

Also be sure to have a continual stream of articles being distributed to the directory and Ezine sites. And use content portals like Squidoo whenever possible as well.

Your basic objective with all this content is to create a massive, interconnected network of keyword rich, quality content that all links back to your main list building and paid offer pages. This is the backbone of any good long-term traffic strategy.

While further study is needed to learn the actual techniques involved with the traffic methods alluded to in this articles, the critical point being made is this:

Massive traffic is the result of ongoing effort. Set your budget, spread your ads out over the course of the month, and add new links and content to your network on a daily basis.

Over time this one-step-at-a-time methodology will create a veritable avalanche of Web traffic for the domain(s) of your choice.

For anyone not living under a rock, the Internet has become well known and well used. While it is often turned to for emailing friends and surfing news sites, it is also an outlet for both large and small businesses. But, Internet marketing is more than just having a website, actually much more.

By definition, Internet Marketing is the act of using the technologies of the Internet to communicate with potential customers, advertise, provide education and get a business established. Just like traditional marketing, such as newspaper advertising, direct mail campaigns, billboards, and cold calling, Internet marketing possesses two main goals: get known and get customers. However, the benefits of Internet marketing over traditional are numerous. A few of the advantages are as follows:

Cost: Internet Marketing is often cheaper than traditional. Depending on how extensive the advertising campaign, Internet marketing can get you more bang for your buck than traditional marketing.

Environment: For those dedicated to going green, the Internet allows for a form of marketing and advertising that does not waste innumerable amounts of paper, paint, or ink.

Ability to Reach People: The biggest flaw in traditional marketing is the ability to reach people. Ads in specific newspapers or billboards on specific streets greatly limit the amount of people who see them. The Internet, however, is universal. In theory, Internet marketing can reach anyone, anywhere.

Ability to Manage your Campaign: Unlike traditional routes of marketing, the Internet provides the unique benefit of tracking your traffic. With the ability to see how many visitors are attracted to a certain website or a certain feature, a business has the advantage of knowing what is working and what is not.

Many More Tools: Traditional marketing has become more creative over the years, venturing out to bathroom stalls and football stadiums for instance. But, traditional marketing will never have as many tools as the Internet. Simply put, technology just arms a business with much more opportunities. From search engine optimization to email campaigns, from portal site media to newsletter sponsorship, from web casts to videos, the tools of Internet marketing are virtually limitless.

As demonstrated above, Internet marketing, as we know it, is an effective way to bring in customers. However, one problem with many aspects of Internet marketing is adaptability: certain businesses may find it’s too hard to adapt, or too expensive.

For the entrepreneur looking into a home-based business, for example, the cost may be outrageous. Forced to join multiple programs in order to tap into popular trends, you may find yourself juggling sites, re-branding your image, and ultimately losing money.

Thus, the ability to bring together the advantages of Internet marketing with the ability to adapt to changing times is ideal. It’s ideal and it’s come to life through Intelligent Phase Marketing.

Originated by ILM, Internet Leveraging & Marketing, LLC, Intelligent Phase Marketing understands that the Internet goes through phases: things that work and things that sell change with every waking moment. Intelligent Phase Marketing gives business owners the ability to tap into these swiftly changing markets and manage all of their marketing campaigns from a single console.

Unlike many home-based businesses that require large sums of money, ILM is affordable to all with membership levels ranging from $100 to $10,000. And, because of the unique marketing system members will no longer need to join program after program in order to tap into the most popular trends, ILM and Intelligent Phase Marketing provide members with many different products and services that tap into all of the most popular trends. And, this system allows a business to truly build a piece of Internet real estate by having all of the different marketing campaigns and affiliate pages linked to the member�s main ILM website.

ILM also offers all of its websites and training in both English and Spanish, which makes it more universally appealing. When it comes to marketing, adapting is the name of the game. With ILM, adapting doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming; it’s easy, affordable, and your best chance at success.

For those who take his or her network marketing business seriously, there are serious tax advantages to being involved in this home-based business. These advantages are embedded in IRS codes, regulations and interpretations and it gets quite confusing.

With all these great tax advantages, you could easily employ a small army of tax lawyers and accountants just to identify them, let alone interpret them.

You still need to have a general idea about the main advantages so you can make sure you are taking every tax advantage that is rightfully yours. No one is going to look out for your business any better than YOU!

Most people who have been in Network Marketing also known as Multi Level Marketing (MLM), are fully aware that this is a very social business. But for those of you just starting out, this is really important to know because taking advantage of these tax codes enables you have more write offs at the end of the fiscal year. And more write-offs equates to you keeping more of what you earn.

So with this industry being a social one, that means you have to talk and interact with people. And since you need to east every day, you might as well have some fun and do it while you are recruiting, selling or just sharing information about your company.

Unfortunately, this is one of those great expenses the IRS keeps carving away at. Every year they cut away just a bit more. Currently, your deductions are now limited to 50 percent. Most importantly, you must be able to document the substance of the business discussion, the business relationship and who was actually being professionally entertained by you.

Here is specific criteria to ensure you get the deduction:

1. The purpose of the entertainment event or the outing was to conduct business.

2. You engaged in business or discussed business during the entertainment function

3. You expected either income or a business benefit would come of the entertainment

The business discussion must be conducted either during the activity, immediately preceding or immediately following the activity and must be a substantial discussion. According to the IRS, it does not mean that you have to spend your entire meal discussing business. You will not have to spend the entire basketball game shouting over the fans regarding the opportunities of your latest and greatest network marketing company It does mean, however, that at some point before or after that basketball game you must have discussed the business purpose of the meeting.

So what constitutes a business activity? Here is the next sort of “test” you will want to ask yourself: The entertainment activity is

1. associated with conducting your business

2. completed directly before or after the substantial discussion of your business.

Some great examples of deductions in this category are

* Restaurants

* Sporting Events

* Trade Association Meetings

* Theater

* Concerts

I have found that the easiest way to keep track of these types of business deductions are two-fold. One, always, always use a designated credit or debit card for all such business expenses that you plan to deduct. And two, on the actual receipt, write the names of all persons present at the event, including yourself; write the name of the company for which you were conducting business and third, a brief summary of the nature of the business meeting content.

Keep a separate business envelope for each month of the year in your briefcase and put the receipt into the corresponding envelope immediately. Also keep a running tally of these types of expenses in something as simple as an excel spreadsheet or software created specifically for business expenses.

IF NETWORK MARKETING AND MULTILEVEL MARKETING ARE YOUR GAME, YOU�LL MAKE A PERFECT LAWN CHAIR MILLIONAIRE AND MAKE MONEY TOO.

LAWN CHAIR MILLIONAIRE IS A UNIQUE PLACE ON THE WEB. IT IS A MEMBERSHIP WEB SITE. IT ACTUALLY CONSISTS OF THREE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT MONEY-MAKING STRATEGIES:

1.-FIRST is the Money/Line Pool, where once a member, a Lawn Chair Millionaire can recruit new members and develop down lines of your won. The new Lawn Chair Millionaires in turn recruit and develop their own down lines as in any MLM system.

As in all MLM, members make money via the recruitment of new Lawn Chair Millionaires who are placed in the recruiter�s own down line.

2.-SECOND is the Income Businesses Opportunity, where in the new Lawn Chair Millionaire earns residual commissions on every referral such as the Tell-A-Friend program, he or she makes who becomes a member.

3.-THIRD is the Pro-Mailer Advertising System which Lawn Chair Millionaires can engage to gather from 2,000 to 5,000 opt-in qualified prospects and stage 45-day campaigns in full autopilot and auto-responder.

Pro-Mailer mails weekly and daily to the opt-in prospect list you select and reports to the member the clicks by name and e-mail address; and of course, THE NEW MEMBERSHIPS SIGNED UP.

LAWN CHAIR MILLIONAIRES TELL THEIR FRIEND ABOUT IT�

The Lawn Chair Millionaire has a part called the TELL-A-FRIEND program. This part of the Lawn Chair Millionaire urges Lawn Chair Millionaires to tell their friends about Lawn Chair Millionaire. They get paid for it when a friend or friends become member and/or purchase any of the services the membership Web Site sells.

Though no member is allowed to mass mail on this program, Lawn Chair Millionaires can e-mail up to 10 of their friends every 24 hours and get a commission on enrollments from his mailings. Depending on the number of FRIENDS on your mailing list, you can e-mail to up to 10 persons every day.

This is a double WHAMMY because you not only get paid when you recruit a new Lawn Chair Millionaire, but you increase the numbers in your down lines at the same time.

The best way to get the complete lowdown on Lawn Chair Millionaire is to get on over to their website described on my Web Site Marketing That Works and read all about it.

Go ahead, just click on my URL listed at the end of this Blog. You can�t miss it. The complete program is very easy to understand.

It ells you from the history of the Lawn Chair Millionaire membership organization, to the Vault Section, to the Pro-Mailer Business Advertising Section and finally to the Get Soccer Maestro system.

The founding members of the Lawn Chair Millionaire Group are a group of persons who over the years have experimented with a variety of ways to make money on the Web and to secure their own and the financial goals of the membership.

The founders have a lifetime history of success in MLM and in Network Marketing. Many in the group have already made money or are currently trying to increase their own estate.

A NETWORK MARKETING AND MULTILEVEL MARKETING KNOW-HOW AND A GOOD STRATEGY GO A LONG WAY ON THE WEB:

Many of you may have experienced it. It is well known that people who mine the Worldwide Web for full-time or part-time income via multilevel and network marketing, generally achieve only moderate success, unless they have additional help or strategy.

However, they learned that an overwhelming majority of these persons do not give up easily and are still seeking to make money or more money in the Worldwide Web.

With their long history in MLM and Network Marketing the founders tested several strategies which after years of searching lead them into the wealth building many people have used over the years.

The strategy of LCM membership is to take the ways wealthy individuals use to maintain their wealth; and, bring them down to ordinary people so they can build steady monthly extra incomes or to build wealth as well, with only little or no risk.

As an active Lawn Chair Millionaire, you are also subscribed to The Vault. The Vault is a reservoir of knowledge typically limited to people in high income brackets.

The LCM has succeeded in bringing these strategies and tactics down to your level and showing you how to use them to create steady monthly income and even to build greater wealth as well.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS, AS A LAWN CHAIR MILLIONAIRE, YOU MAKE MONEY:

A.-TELL-A-FRIEND: Enrolling new Lawn Chair Millionaires into the program via Network Marketing and MLM on the Web. This is Network Marketing and MLM at its best that develops your down line fast.

You employ your own e-mailing list to get started and then engage the Pro-Mailer program to put things in autopilot for greater and faster results.

All click respondents are given to you to add to your own e-mailing list.

This part is as easy as giving your Lawn Chair Millionaire membership the first name and the e-mail of your friends and let the Pro-Mailer get in touch with them and tell them about how they can also become Lawn Chair Millionaires and benefit from all its services on the Worldwide Web.

While you are limited to only 10 mailings per 24-hour period, YOU CAN MAIL TO 10 FRIENDS EVERY 24 HOURS FOR AS MANY DAYS AS YOUR NUMBER OF FRIENDS, FOR AS YOU WANT TO OR HAVE IN YOUR LIST.

B.-THE SOCCER MAESTRO: The Soccer Maestro System is a low risk money-making strategy that creates cash for you no matter the economic environment.

Just imagine being able to spend ONE HOUR or less per week, following a step-by-step, quick and easy soccer wagering system that literally and legally turns any bookie into your own personal ATM machine.

Starting on the day you become a Lawn Chair Millionaire, you could start earning a hefty additional income that could well pay for your exotic holiday vacations, perhaps pay off the mortgage and give you a financial cushion for the rest of your life.

Though as the name implies, SOCCER is the sport of choice - - you don�t have to know anything about soccer, rules of the game or game strategies to do well in Soccer Maestro.

All you do is plug in some easy to find numbers into the calculator, place your wager and count your winnings. SOCCER MAESTRO gives you everything in great details with crystal clear instructions and helpful screenshots to take it to the MAX.

And don�t forget that if after applying the Soccer Maestro system for 30 days, you cannot see the awesome long-term money-making potential of it � SIMPLY TELL LAWN CHAIR MILLIONAIRE BEFORE THE 30 DAYS ARE UP AND YOU GET 100% OF YOUR MONEY REFUNDED.

C.-THE PRO-MAILER BUSINESS ADVERTISING: The Pro-Mailer Business Advertising program maintains a reservoir of highly targeted opt-in pre-enrollees who are in the hunt already for Web Sites that sell products like these and have requested to be e-mailed on a regular basis.

Lawn Chair Millionaires can purchase these lists at wholesale prices and have the Pro-Mailer System e-mail them all within 7 days from your purchase. Pro-Mailer then follows up with each pre-enrollee once every 5 days thereafter for a period of 45 days.

Every pre-enrollee from your list that responds or becomes a Lawn Chair Millionaire is given to you for your own e-mailing list. This is a double WHAMMY for you because not only does the new member is placed in your MLM Marketing down line, but more importantly � YOU ARE PAID A COMMISSION ON HIS MEMBERSHIP FEE.

THE SUM OF THESE BENEFITS IS THAT YOU COULD SOON BE EARNING FROM $3,000 TO $5,000 OR MORE EVERY MONTH TO EASE UP ON ANY FINANCIAL HART TIMES THAT MAY CREEP UP ON YOU.

1.-Your Lawn Chair Millionaire membership fee very small indeed compared to your benefits.

2.-There is NO Selling and NO inventory of any kind to carry.

3.-You can START as quickly as you finish reading my Web Site Marketing That Works on my Web Page.

4.-You WORK FROM HOME.

6.-If you are already in Network Marketing and/or in MLM, Lawn Chair Millionaire is a snap for you. If you are just starting or wanting to get into it, you cannot find an easier and more profitable way to get started fast.

So now that you know how to become a Lawn Chair Millionaire, get on over and read all about it again and sign up if it is turns out to be for you.

If you want to make money with affiliate programs, you should stop listening to the people behind these programs.

That may sound crazy, but I have good reason for saying that. Most affiliate marketers wind up doing the following and failing miserably.

1. They look at a sales page and think it looks pretty good.

2. They decide to go for it and sign up.

3. They find pre-made ads, direct them to the web page of the affiliate website, they next do submissions to safelists, then send promotions to their own lists, then they use some hit exchanges or other forms of free advertisement.

4. This results in zero sales, they decide to ditch the program, and go find another one, saying to themselves �well, that was a waste of time, that product stinks�

5. They start all over again doing the same thing, with the next affiliate program claiming to be the next best sure winner according to the sales copy.

Does any of this sound familiar? If it does, you are not the only one. The sad fact is that not more than 5% of affiliates manage to make more than $25.00 from any of their efforts.

So, what is the answer?

1. Start by going to Commission Junction, Linkshare, Clickbank, etc. and try doing some in depth research in a niche market that you know something about or have an interest in. You don�t have to be in love with the product, but if you believe in it, it is easier to convince someone that it is a good product.

2. Take a good look at the product conversion rate, make sure it is high. Commission Junction can supply you with a report for the last three months and last seven days of earnings per click. This is a big help in choosing the best paying product.

3. Make use of a software known as the Product Idea Profitability Evaluator. This is a great tool to figure out profitability of a product. You can eliminate many niches that you think would be profitable with this software. It will assess keywords, and profitability potential. It will also give you important information to determine profitability based on pay per click. You can use it for free for 10 days.

4. You next need to determine and buy a domain name (Go Daddy) and get a reliable hosting company (I use Hostgator). You can get free hosting but it is not recommended. If you want to come across as being professional, a free hosting company will destroy that image. The ads they will place on your site will make your website look like an advertising billboard. For any web business, building trust and confidence are of great importance.

5. If you don�t know how to build a website, there are many tutorials online, many in video format. Or if you have the money, hire a web designer to do the work for you. Do a Google search for website tutorials or html tutorials. Make sure you build a site with lots of good content, not something that is just full of product hype.

6. Next, you will need to promote your website. There are many ways to promote websites. Do a Google search on site promotion and you will see millions of results. Look at the first 5-10 for a good idea of the direction you want to go with your promotion.

7. If you really want to get a lot of traffic, build yourself a good link directory. That way, the search engines will pick up your site if your content is really good. Make sure you use a lot of your targeted keywords in the website so that they are picked up by the web spiders and you get a lot of free promotion on the search engines. This is known as Search Engine Optimization

The easier you are to find for your customers and clients the more likely they�ll be to return and use your services again. Therefore, many office buildings, schools, and libraries can benefit from having a directory sign. You have various designs to choose from so you can easily place a changeable sign on a wall or have it stand on a pedestal wherever you need it at the time.

Pedestal Style Directories

The directory and pedestal option is made with aluminum and has a black background for easy reading. The pedestal directory can be used virtually anywhere and is easily stored when not in use. You will find this option is great for those that need to frequently move a sign from place to place. The stand conveniently adjusts between 49 and 66 inches.

Lobby Directory

Our lobby directory is made with aluminum and comes with a powder coat finish and shatter resistant acrylic framed see-through door. This door features a locking mechanism to keep people that don�t have the key from accessing the message inside. A surface mounted shop directory is great for lobby areas where you will always need a permanent sign directing customers to their right location.

Marquee Directory

The marquee directory is another surface mounted letter sign that is made out of aluminum and comes with a shatter resistant see-through acrylic door. Like other options, this changeable sign has a black background and comes with a locking mechanism to keep the letters from being rearranged. This display sign has a white acrylic header panel that you�re able to customize to say your personal message.

Social Directories

For buildings that host a lot of parties or events, using wayfinding signs can be a great way at letting attendees find their location quickly and efficiently. They can save money by not needing a person to direct people to where they need to go. If you have multiple rooms that are being used for conferences or meetings of some sort, having a portable directory sign is an excellent way to display what meeting or class is taking place inside each room.

Building Mounted Directories

Surface mounted marquee signs are perfect for areas that may frequently change where a certain service is being offered. In order to save money on permanent labels, a changeable sign allows you to change the name of the company or person within each office as they come and go. The locking mechanism allows those that have the proper key to gain access to the letters and change them when appropriate. Surface mounted signs can be used both indoors and out. Foyers or places next to stairways or elevators are convenient locations to place a directory.

Complete Directory Package

You�re given different letters, numbers, and characters to place inside the sign with your order. Often white, they are easily seen with the common black background. The letters are large enough for people to easily read. The professional appearance works well with any commercial setting. No matter where you need a sign, whether it�s for a school, library, or company function it will blend in with its surroundings, yet stand out so people can easily find it.

When you begin building traffic to your Home Business website, first you will want to focus on gaining link popularity via reciprical and one way links with other related websites.

Complimentary but non-competing websites are the best because some search engines consider them more relevent and give you a higher ranking in their respective algorithms. One way to build up the link popularity of your Home Business site is to do link exchanges.

Another important way is to submit your website to the major directories such as Yahoo and Open Directory and niche directories relating to the subject matter of your home business site. Another effective way is to simply write articles and submit them them to sites which provide content to other sites.

You can add your “resource box” at the end of the article and any site or ezine which posts your article must also post your resource box which includes your websites URL.

This will not only increase traffic to your website directly but will also increase your all important “link popularity”. This will improve the ranking of your website for given keywords on all the search engines.

Writing articles is a superb linking strategy! Here is the process and how it works:

1. Send out articles that you’ve written.

2. Articles are then reprinted in newsletters or on websites.

3. People then read the articles.

4. They then click on the link to your site at the end of the article.

5. Suddenly you have traffic coming in!

You recieve free advertising and webmasters recieve free content, this creates a win-win situation all the way around! That is the magic of writing articles!

Additional strategies

Tools are one of the most popular techniques used to gain links. Examine some of the popular tools in your industry that have attracted high-quality links before. Then have a programmer create a mash-up of those tools. That way, users can find the answers to all their questions in one location.

Creating compelling content is only part of the job. The next aspect is the promotion. This can be incorporated into your traditional media campaigns, such as print and radio. You can also take advantage of social media outlets such as Netscape and Digg. Below are three promotional methods that can help you spread the word.

1. Bloggers � Find the influential bloggers for your industry and get them to write about your new content. Think like a politician in how you approach the bloggers. Some might be seduced with flattery, while others expect a kickback.

2. Newsletters and Ezines � Often, sponsoring newsletters is fairly inexpensive, making it easy to run ads in several ezines at a time. This can help to promote buzz by getting in front of a targeted audience.

3. Pay-Per-Click � Purchase inexpensive keywords related to your new content. This can be especially beneficial for helping to increase traction for the sites that do not rank well.

In addition, the branding and exposure from the PPC campaign will be beneficial. People are more likely to link to sites they are familiar with or have seen before. It is all about trust.

There are many other ways to promote the content, particularly for those who are good at guerrilla marketing. It is also important to keep the buzz up as the campaign progresses. If things seem to be slowing down, it might be time to contact a few more bloggers or have a radio personality put in a few more plugs.

Take full advantage of all the linking possibilities with great content. It can lead to some great backlinks and new customers at the same time.

There are at least 12 major elements you need in place to get your sales copy working like new � Any number of these checkpoints could be costing you thousands of dollars in sales right now.

Here�s a chance to turn the game in your favor by evaluating each of these important elements

1. Layout / Format. Is the website layout appealing to website visitors? Is page welcoming and easy to read? Are you using an ideal type of font for your target audience and what of you color combinations? Are you using graphics appropriately and in the ideal positions? Most marketers leave these decisions up to their graphic artist who may not be familiar with direct marketing principles of selling online. These cannot be left to chance and just what makes you �feel all fuzzy inside�. This is a profit and loss decision that you can�t just leave to chance.

2. Headline / Subheads. Some copywriters have estimated that your headline carries up to 80% of the selling power of your sales letter. That�s a lot of responsible for a one sentence if you asked me! Is your headline telegraphing the greatest benefits of your products and building enough curiosity so your visitors are compelled to read the rest of your copy? Your headline could be what stands between you and a river of cash right now. Just think about that for a minute. Can you really afford not to make this the best headline possible?

3. Opening / Attention Step. Apart from the headline, the way you open the letter can cause your entire sales copy to shine or become a big flop. After the headline builds interest then the opening of your letter must seamlessly carry your readers down that �slippery slope� to making a positive decision. In fact, if you give me 10 hours to write a sales letter, I�m spending 9 hours on just the headline and the opening alone! Yes, that�s how important this part of your letter is!

4. Testimonials and Proof Elements. Are your �testimonials� robbing your sales instead of helping you? What are the best types of testimonials? What type of testimonial you should NEVER place in your sales letter? How many type of proof elements can you safely use for your type of market? These are all important questions that you need answered for your copy.

5. Bullet Points. They make your letter inviting to read and can give a lot of information in easy to swallow tidbits. But bullet points go much farther than this. Do the bullet points have the right structure? How many should you group together before they lose their effectiveness? All bullet points are not created equal and just having a point before a sentence doesn�t make it a �bullet point�.

6. Your USP. How does your offer separate you from your competition? Do you know what you are actually selling? (The answer to this question may surprise you. TIP: It�s not the physical products or services you provide.) If you are not certain about what you really sell, then neither will your potential customers and your dismal sales results will show it.

7. Your Offer. Sometimes one simple change in your offer can catapult your sales through the roof. Have you tested several different price points? Have you offered the best bonuses? Are you shy about asking for the sale? A powerful sales letter turns on the hinge of a powerful offer.

8. Your �Persuasion Architecture�. Are you saying the correct things in the correct way but in the wrong order? Just like your English teacher taught you that an essay has a certain �structure� so does a sales letter. And don�t think that the AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) works best for every product in every market. Is your product new? Are you trying to break into a competitive market? Do you have a lot of credibility in your market? All this and more will determine how you structure your sales message.

9. Your Target Market. Do you have your �ideal customer� in mind or are you going after every living thing that breathes? Does your copy read like you are talking to one friend across the table or to the whole world? How much do you know about the wants, needs and fears of your audience? Are you familiar with what your competition is offering this same reader? Most business owners write with their business in mind and leave their target market right out of the picture. (Self Test: Just see how many times you used the words �we� and �our� in your sales letter compared to �you� and �your�.)

10. Order Page. An order page can sometimes carry the entire burden of the selling process if well-written. It can also introduce new doubts in the buyer�s mind at the moment of decision. This is the scourge of �shopping cart abandonment� that you may have read so much about for ecommerce sites. Is your order page leaving money on the table?

11. Call To Action. Ever seen those fishing shows on TV where they catch these great bass fish and then through them right back into the water? Always irks me. After you�ve convinced your readers to buy you must now know how to ask for the sale. They are not going to buy simply because they are convinced that your product or service can add value to their lives. You must hook them and get them in the boat!

12. Post Script. The P.S. is one of the most read parts of a sales letter. Are you taking full selling advantage of this fact? What is the best information to place in a P.S.? What should you NEVER say? How many P.S.�s are just too many?

This 12-point check system is part of the critique process that I�ve been doing for my clients and copywriting students for years now � and I�ve never had one client who made the suggested changes and came back to say they didn�t improve their sales.
