Compelling copy is one originally written. Not quoted and not re-written of another author. Such copy-writers are hard to come by.

Unique copywriting content is as rare as the Dodo on the internet. There’s just too much rehashed and plagiarized content. For the discerning copywriter, you are certainly filling a required need.

I know he is getting exposure, but let’s be honest, the value of his wisdom is worth more than the incremental gain obtained from coming on the show

One of my biggest challenges is posting content. I never though I would be a blogger being dyslexic. I couldn't even read until the 6th grade so to be a blogger wasn't in the cards. Thanks for the tools. salt lake homes for sale

I think the key to good copywriting is to be able to put yourself in your customers place.

For the most part the value of “copywriting” online is overrated. The biggest thing about selling any product or service online is getting your customer to know you, like you, and trust you – then effectively following up with them, only then will they take your recommendation to buy. Yes there are some great copywriters out there, but they make most of their money by targeting specific markets and following up with their list.

I have a few good books on copywriting but putting it all together in one coherent sales letter is where an ounce of practise is worth a ton of theory.

The master copywriters became great by honing their skills in the real world and learning from their mistakes and others before them.

In this episode you refer to an internet marketing course that you recommended in a prior episode. I can’t find the course you recommended. Can you point me to the recommended course?

Thanks,

@Axl,

I think some of what you see is because it works, but some of it is also laziness (granted maybe it works well enough for them). There is definitely value to the single sales page that has nothing but copy for the offer on it.

When it comes to presentation and copy, I’m a fan of Michel Fortin. When it comes to product/sales page design, I’m a fan of this guys work. But apparently he is so busy right now he has taken his site down at the time of writing this.

Different things speak to different people, but you have a valid point.

Sorry, should have proof-read my own comment before submitting, not the greatest “copy” there…:-) Axl.

It seems that many of the sites you guys refer to,both IBM/examples and other links you refer to tend to use copy that to me seem very (no offence): “Get rich in 10 sec, / “TV-shop”-look-a-like/big bold centered letters with messages repeated about 30 times through the first page” I hope you understand what I mean. To me they seem to fall into a certain category that to me does not appear very appealing. Now, I fear being biased so my question is: Are there evidence that this style is much more sales effective than a more classic and clean visual impression. One thing is how to write it (the actual copy) another thing is what impression you leave (bold and big letters, excl. marks, several different fonts etc) To me it seems to give a tacky and non-proffesional impression, but heck, if it works I will be more than glad to use this style. Any views? Evidence?
Best regards, Axl. (Norway)

Erin,

WordPress allows you to have feeds for each of the categories. If you are using Permalinks, the default feed address for a category is something like this:

http://www.internet-based-business-mastery.com/category/blog/feed

Blog posts have their own category in WordPress on our site.

Hey guys, I was just wondering what software you are using, or how you configured wordpress, to have a podcast and a blog on the same blog. It looks like your podcast is just set up like a regular category. How do you get it to have a separate feed? Thx.
