			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Let’s get some attention&#8230; shall we?</p>
<p>A good headline is what’s going to get the attention of your prospect.</p>
<p>So, what does that look like?</p>
<p>Well, anywhere else in this world it’s usually a wreck&#8230; train wreck&#8230; car wreck&#8230; you name it.  If there are blood and guts (or the chance for it) spewed across the road you’ll probably get 80.1% to 90.99% of the attention of people going by.</p>
<p>I think they call them “rubber neckers”.</p>
<p>So, you want a “rubber necker” to at least stop and look.  We don’t want them to leave, like normal “rubber neckers”, we want them to stay.  But, I’ll get to what comes next later.  First you’ve got to get them to stop and look.</p>
<p>How do you do that?</p>
<p>It’s got to be something that hits an emotional button.  Or it’s got to be something the prospect desires deep down.  Make that big claim your prospect wants (as long as you know you can deliver).  But, be careful because you don’t want to sound all hypey and stuff.</p>
<p>The second part of the wreck that you need to add to your headline is believability (You shouldn’t claim you’re going to show someone how to hit a 700 Yard drive or lose 150 lbs in 3 weeks unless it’s absolutely possible and proven and even then it’s got to be believable).  Yes, it must be believable and it’s up to you to prove that it’s true.</p>
<p>Maybe you’re wondering&#8230; how do I put proof in my headline?  Headlines are usually pretty short.</p>
<p>Well, if you’re selling something related to health, being a doctor will give you some credibility.  If you’re selling something sports related, being an athlete that’s accomplished what you claim for your product will build proof.</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong.  There is a difference between proof and credibility but an ounce of credibility, especially in your headline, will go a long way.</p>
<p>Another thing you can do to bring the believability is when you’re using numbers.  Be specific.  Use “9.99” instead of “10”.  Use 85.33% instead of 85%.  By using specific numbers it gives your claims a hint more believability even if the round number is correct for its purpose (just don’t make stuff up just to be specific).</p>
<p>If you want to get some great headline ideas, check out Mens Health Magazine or TMZ.  Obviously both are very different but you’ll find that the headlines they use for their stories are eye catching and have elements that should be modeled.</p>
<p>When you’re ready to hire someone who understands <a href="http://www.ProfitConvergenceInc.com/copywriting-services"><strong>persuasive online copywriting</strong></a> and ready to go the extra mile for your sales letter then you can visit the link and fill out the form or give me, Jay, a call at 336-775-6606.   I look forward to working with you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-324" style="margin: 5px;" title="PersuasiveOnlineCopywriting-HeadlineTip1" src="http://www.profitconvergenceinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/PersuasiveOnlineCopywriting-HeadlineTip1-300x300.jpg" alt="PersuasiveOnlineCopywriting-HeadlineTip1" width="180" height="180" />If you have ever experienced a door-to-door vacuum sales person you know that they intrude into your life uninvited.   You hear the knock at your door.  And BAM there they are pushing their way in to clean your carpet.  They’re uninvited but in the end, somehow, you’re the proud owner of a new $1,500 vacuum cleaner that sucks the paint right off the wall.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ProfitConvergenceInc.com/copywriting-services"><strong>Persuasive online copywriting</strong></a> is very similar.  In most cases we’re trying to get the attention of passerby’s.  We’re the uninvited vacuum cleaner sales person.  We’re doing our best to attract someone who is in the buying mood but we can’t guarantee that.</p>
<p>So the first thing we’ve got to do is get the attention of each person seeing your message.  This attention grabber will be your headline or something like it.  You want it to reach out and grab your “guest” by the eyeballs and get them reading your ad copy.</p>
<p>Almost immediately after you get their attention you’ve got to show the benefit and advantage of your product or service.  You’ve got to show that it solves their problems.  If you can’t demonstrate that you understand their problem and you can solve it better than the next seller then you’ve gotten nowhere.  You essentially have to put yourself in the shoes of your prospect and experience what they experience.  Then tell them it’s ok because you have a solution.</p>
<p>Now comes the fun part of persuasive online copywriting.  Now you have to PROVE IT.  Without proof to show your product or service can do what you claim it can do&#8230;. well, you’ve just wasted money on a fly-by.  Proof is a critical element to persuasive copy.  Without you don’t stand a chance in hell of making sale.  With it and the world is your oyster.</p>
<p>Now that you’ve gotten their attention, shown them you understand and can solve their problem, and prove it&#8230; you’ve got to ask for the sale.</p>
<p>So many people forget this key part of the puzzle.  If you’ve got them reading and you’ve got them engaged.  You’ve got to ask for the sale.  People in general need to be led to the next step.  It can be as simple as “turn to the next page” or “click the next button”.  You’ve got to ask them to take action.  If you don’t you’re losing a ton of people.</p>
<p>Those few steps are what it takes to create <strong>persuasive online copywriting</strong>.</p>
<p>If you’re in need of a copywriter who understands these concepts, feel free to give me a call (Jay Simcic) at 336-775-6606 or visit <a href="http://www.ProfitConvergenceInc.com/copywriting-services">http://www.ProfitConvergenceInc.com/copywriting-services</a> and fill out the simple form.</p>
<p>Next time I’ll dig deeper into how to get attention.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>When you hear the term &#8220;<a target="_blank" title="internet marketing" href="http://internetmarketing.BryanEllis.com">internet marketing</a>&#8220;, what do you think of?</p>
<p> For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs.  All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.</p>
<p> At its core, internet marketing is about these things:</p>
<p> * Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal<br /> * Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet<br /> * Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market<br /> * Collecting information about your target market (also known as &#8220;leads&#8221;) for follow-up and conversion into sales<br /> * Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads</p>
<p> Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.</p>
<p> My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing.  Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent.  The &#8220;permission&#8221; aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.</p>
<p> My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine: It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our list.  When you have thousands of loyal subscribers &#8211; as we do &#8211; and you put a strong and compatible offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.</p>
<p> However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.</p>
<p>  Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.</p>
<p> Even though there are more sides to internet marketing than just email marketing (permission based), email has been the foundation that our business sits on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you are looking for a new job, you may just need to sit down at your computer that is connected to the Internet. There are many methods to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.senze.com">make money online</a> as long as you have the time &#8211; and you can do it all within the privacy of your own home. Let&#8217;s take a look at a few of these simple methods to help get you started:</p>
<p> If you have something to say, why not get paid for it? Most people create blogs simply to state facts or talk about their opinions. Some people <a target="_blank" href="http://www.solobis.net">make money blogging</a> by setting up a blog with useful content and implementing some decent marketing tactics.</p>
<p> Why not take the blogging experience one step further and create an entire blog network. The important thing to note is the niches your blog network should serve. Do some research into some of the most popular blogs and see if you can link them together in a meaningful manner for your own blog network, with your own original content to be written by your own writers.</p>
<p> If you have a knack for photography, why not create a site and sell your photos online? This method of making money online has actually gotten very popular. You can set up a site and a portfolio and see what kind of business you can pull in. Make sure that you use the right marketing tools to sell your site and your product!</p>
<p> If you have a lot of spare time on your hands then you can always turn to being a virtual assistant. Many companies from all over the world are hiring virtual assistants. You will earn a decent living helping the company save money. You can expect to make calls, complete data entry and even write a few articles here and there.</p>
<p> You can also try writing product reviews on a blog to <a target="_blank" href="http://sellproducts.senze.com">sell products</a> for the advertiser in return for payment. There are tons of sites out there looking to hire writers to write reviews about their products. When a review is posted it is meant to get an actual buyer to stop and buy the product from that site. </p>
<p> Right now there is no better time than to make money online. Those who are looking to make some extra cash or a living in general need to get online. Take a look at your current online opportunities and find out which ones will work the best for you.</p>

<p> However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.</p>
<p>  Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.</p>
<p> While there are many more aspects to internet marketing than just permission-based email marketing, email has definitely been the cornerstone on which our business is built.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>When you hear the term &#8220;<a target="_blank" title="internet marketing" href="http://internetmarketing.BryanEllis.com">internet marketing</a>&#8220;, what do you think of?</p>
<p> For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs.  All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.</p>
<p> At its core, internet marketing is about these things:</p>
<p> * Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal<br /> * Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet<br /> * Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market<br /> * Collecting information about your target market (also known as &#8220;leads&#8221;) for follow-up and conversion into sales<br /> * Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads</p>
<p> Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.</p>
<p> My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing.  Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent.  The &#8220;permission&#8221; aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.</p>
<p> My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine: It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our list.  When you have thousands of loyal subscribers &#8211; as we do &#8211; and you put a strong and compatible offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.</p>
<p> However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.</p>
<p>  Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.</p>
<p> While there are many more aspects to internet marketing than just permission-based email marketing, email has definitely been the cornerstone on which our business is built.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>A company partnership contract will be set amongst two or more individuals, detailing the terms of their relationship. The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/form-limited-partnership-agreement/">partnership agreements</a> creates the company and firms up the rules for the alliance’s association. The agreement will be explicit regarding the type of the relationship as well as the differing functions.</p>
<p>There are varying kinds of business alliance agreements in existence. The varying types are general alliances and limited alliances.</p>
<p>The general partnership offers two partners or more partaking in the business’s liability. It refers to not just the general alliance’s business portions but their individual possessions also.</p>
<p>A limited partnership is different because it limits the limited partner’s liability to their portion. A general partner who would be responsible for whatever unmet responsibilities which might come up manages limited alliances.</p>
<p>A newer legal form is a limited liability partnership that permits the general alliance to reduce her liability.</p>
<p>The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/business-partnership-contract/">business partnership contract</a> will have guidelines for the business name, duration, as well as the business function of said partnership. The contract also spells out the amount of payment to be made by the particular members. Lastly, provisions must be arranged for the transfer of partnership stake and dissolution as a result of death and/or disablement of a partner.</p>
<p>A buy-sell contract is an agreement that allows a purchase of the partner&#8217;s shares from his/her heirs. The contract is used in a manner to carry on the company with the occurrence of death, disablement, or divorce. A buy-sell agreement identifies monies utilized to purchase the quitting partner&#8217;s interest and spreads the shares among the remaining members.</p>
<p>Partnership agreements should obey any rules of that state wherein a partnership will be created, including <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/dba-filing-registration/">file DBA</a> if necessary. Many sources offer data regarding necessary verbiage that must be written within the agreement. A capable lawyer can assist with drawing up a company alliance agreement. There are Internet sources and businesses accessible that give a hand with drawing up contracts which are valuable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Operating a small enterprise will be a challenge, particularly while the economic downturn continues to grip the nation. Needing to weigh up all the options to expand, as well as step-up the company’s market share, can be fraught with risk. However, a more recent choice is to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/form-an-llc-online/">form a LLC</a>. Starting a Limited Liability Company is a fairly straightforward matter, but there may be basics your business needs to know about prior to starting the journey.</p>
<p>It’s important your enterprise understand precisely what an LLC is. Essentially, it is a enterprise like all others. The primary distinctions surround taxation considerations as well as legal regulations. Unlike many structures, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/online-llc-formation/">LLC formation documents</a> allows just a single individual to start the Limited Liability Company up. However, an limitless number of people may be enmeshed at every level. The liability will be limited to every person, rather than the company as a whole.</p>
<p>Additional advantages allow LLCs to function differently too, in that there is no need for directors meetings, yearly reports, as well as the like. Income tax returns are also filed in accordance with the individuals within the company, rather than filing on behalf of the company as a whole.</p>
<p>If there are fellow members of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/form-llc-corporation/">limited liability corporations</a> which complete additional tasks than some others, the bonuses are broadcast more equally. Regardless of your stake, because you may have contributed more to the bottom line, the larger share of the income you are going to receive.</p>
<p>Just like any structure, there are displeasures as well. It can be more difficult to produce external financial support. Seasoned investors will be not as inclined to hold a unvoiced stake, knowing his/her dividends will be reduced as to other conventional agreements.</p>
<p>Launching nationwide might also be problematic, with many states having different regulations to the operation of an Limited Liability Company in the company’s area. If this is a factor, you will need to take some time to investigate any penalties, taxation issues and charges that might possibly be required.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The most effective, as well as the easiest, method to legally create each owners fraction of ownership, distribution of proceeds, rights as well as duties, is to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/creating-an-llc-online/">create an LLC</a>. A Limited Liability Company&#8217;s operating agreement can configure the financial and professional relationships with every owner and demonstrate how a business will be operated.</p>
<p>Although every state doesn’t require your business to legally attain an LLC, it’s a very good idea. Getting an LLC can help to defend your as well as your partners’ personal assets and if something should happen, ensure that the business will be regulated under your rules, but not the states’.</p>
<p>Should you be interested in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/form-an-llc-online/">LLC form</a>, your enterprise needs to think of a professional name that will be unique to the business and utilize Internet searching to confirm that no one else within your region is using the name you are interested in. Also, all limited liability companies must end in LLC or L.L.C.</p>
<p>Next, your business will visit the Secretary of State&#8217;s website for your business’s state. There, you may either finish the forms online, or else you may print the paperwork, complete the forms and deliver the forms personally to the state&#8217;s headquarters. There is a charge in order to complete said documents. The fee may be as hefty as $900 in some states.</p>
<p>The company’s papers will be sent straight to you. Though the posting time varies, it is typically approximately two weeks till the papers get to you.</p>
<p>You are not, however, totally sheltered by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/business-formation/setting-up-an-llc-online/">set up LLC online</a>. There are a few issues that you should watch out for. Should you individually harm someone, you would not be covered under the Limited Liability Company. In addition, if you personally guarantee a company loan and/or bank advance and the Limited Liability Company defaults on the loan, you would be personally responsible. If your business were to fail to deposit employee withholding taxes to the Internal Revenue Service, that would be another instance of how you may be personally responsible.</p>
