It’s The Write Thing To Do

Greetings,

It’s 2023. Time to kick things in gear and make great things happen!

Naw, this is not one of those “New Year’s Resolution” kind of posts. Not at all.

Rather, it’s like a ‘note to self’ to remind me that action is required for anything worth striving for.

Case in point – being a copywriter.

Yep, if you want to become a copywriter – especially a decent one, ya gotta put pen to paper and write!

Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?

A writer actually writes.

No sure where to begin. Then you may consider taking a . . .

Killer Copywriting Course . . .

 These by the way, are not in short supply. You can choose from many excellent guides who’ll teach you the basics.

I firmly believe that we all should be grounded in the basics.

Personally I believe whatever course you may decide on should cover at lease the basics of persuasion . . . you know subjects surrounding. . .

. . . good old fashion salesmanship!

Perhaps one of the best ways to educate yourself would be to take a job in sales. This may seem a bit extreme but if you’re truly serious about learning how to sell stuff, this could be one the best ways to get that education (and get paid along the way).

Again, this is just my opinion. So please forgive me.

Oftentimes, some of the best copy ever written is loosely derived from an actual sales pitch.

Of course it goes without saying that copywriting encompasses many types of assignments beyond just writing sales letters and direct mail packages – a few examples are audio/video scripts, brochures, landing pages, white papers, newsletters, feature stories, articles, and the list goes on.

Essentially all commercial writing falls under the copywriting guise.

So, I guess the moral of this story is action.

Your assignment today is this: Get started doing your thang – whether it’s writing a sales letter, starting your business, starting that course you’ve been putting off –

Just get started today. Action!

And today’s action is for those who are seriously tinkering with their biz marketing and are looking for some fresh advertising ideas.

Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Christmas

Greetings,

It was the day after Christmas when all through the house everything was stirring – even the mouse.

It was full-tilt, fun filled excitement, bliss and our traditional family breakfast!

Geez, I’m still full from all the food the holidays bring.

Even though we cook a very traditional family breakfast with country ham, sausage, bacon, eggs, grits, and biscuits and oh yeah . . .

. . .  my wife’s lip smackin’ biscuit gravy!

We are very non-traditional when we finally get to have “our family” gathering.

It’s usually the day after Christmas.

You see, our boys are grown now and they have numerous obligations, well you know - spouse’s family gatherings to attend, their own functions and places to be, friends’ gatherings and such.

My loving wife is one of the best “gift-givers” ever. She just seems to know what folks want. And this year was no-exception.

No – we no longer give each other gifts – it’s mostly about the grand kids. There’s nothing better than to see a youngin’s face beaming with pure bliss and smiles so big that it lights up a room.

 

This year, the “magic” toy seemed to be the battling Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots action toy. Our 5-year old grandson loved it! It won out over the seemingly gazillion other toys he’d gotten.

Of course, this will most likely change within the next 5 minutes or so and one of the other toys will become new fav.

Depending how old you are, you may remember this toy making its debut in the early 1960s. This toy was originally first manufactured by the Marx toy company.

Currently Mattel is the manufacturer and it’s still being produced.

I tried to find out just how popular this toy ranked today but didn’t really find any reliable info.

All’s I can say is that the toy market is brutal from what I’m seeing. And trying to pick out something that will “stick” and last – well good luck.

The bottom line is this: I hope you had a great Christmas and that 2023 is your best year ever.

And for the record, I’ll do my part to help you by providing you with the best biz advice that I can.

Winter Wonder Whoa

Greetings,

It was the day before Christmas when all through the house was peace and quiet.

How’s your holiday going so far? Hopefully great . . .

. . . and everything is in full swing and enjoying some quality time with friends and family, good food and exciting festivities.

So far so good here. . . well sort of until the wife and I leisurely woke up this morning and . . .

. . . only to discover we had no water!

I don’t know about you, but here in my neck of the woods, we typically don’t have single digits temps for any length of time. But several days in the single digits is practically unheard of.

But today is different.

 

According to my weather app, currently it’s sunny and 11 degrees – “feels like 1 degree”.

Sure I could tear into my well and figure out where the freeze is.

Or . . . I could wait it out while the temps slowly warms and thaw the pipes.

Honestly, I am not digging the idea of working outside in these damn cold temps, tinkering on my well system. So, I’m inclined to wait this thing out.

Survival Systems

Luckily we are somewhat prepared. We have a couple of cases of bottle water on hand. Plus, we stashed about 7 or 8 gallons of water for emergencies. Oh course this small supply of water is also frozen and will need to thaw inside the house.

The other good news is we have power – at least for now. But should we lose power, we have a propane fireplace to keep warm and a camp stove to cook some food.

Warm shelter – check.

Food and cook stove – check.

Emergency water – check.

No water from the tap – what a drag.

Yeah, we’re spoiled with all these modern conveniences.

And yeah,  we take things for granted.

And suffering through some inconveniences really makes me thankful for all that we depend upon for our day to day living.

Your Business Survival System

And this goes for your business marketing system. In order for your biz to survive, you must have a revenue system – you know . . . sales! And this includes a marketing system.

Do you and/or your business have a tested, proven, reliable marketing system that you can depend on to bring in fresh, qualified leads and sales?

If not – you may consider contacting us to help you create one. After all, that’s what we are great at doing – crafting affordable advertising and marketing solutions to grow your business.

Wolf Winds and Winter Galore

Good day my friends,

Boy, the winds are howling like wolves in the night.

For us here in the Northern Hemisphere, winter officially started on December 21^st.

And it came in like a bang!

I happen to live in the foothills of North Carolina. And baby it’s cold outside with temps hanging in the 20s – with lows predicted this evening in the single digits.

Whoa . . .

But the kicker is the howling winds, sustained at nearly 20-30 mph. Gusts up to 40-50 mph.

Damn . . . it “feels like” 7 degrees Fahrenheit – and that it does!

I’m shivering just thinking about it.

 

But fortunately as I work from my “bat cave” in the backyard, I’m staying toasty warm despite the fact that my “cave” is a wooden storage shed of sorts.

The “secret sauce” is insulation and a good old Big Buddy propane heater.

This little shed project has been fun to tinker with. It’s also an ongoing project. As mentioned above, I’m added insulation throughout, wiring, Ethernet cabling for Internet access – and a dry toilet . . . all the “comforts” of home.

Next I’ll be adding skirting underneath and finish out the ceiling.

I’ve considered running water lines – but not decided on this yet. That would surely be a luxury. I guess time will tell.

Mushing on . . .

In the spirit of Christmas, good will and glad tidings, I’d like to offer you . . .
