whether writing classes are necessary for good copywriting and sales letters.
I’m going to address something that may rub some people up the wrong way.
You see, I more than occasionally get a number of people asking me whether they should spend a pile of money to get ‘good at writing’.
And, the place where they’re thinking about parking their cash is with a college, institution or place where they teach ‘creative writing’ or however you want to describe it.
I do a little deep breathing, and then I tell them something similar to the following.

Thanks to the vast reaches of the internet, global marketing is now possible for the average business owner, either the large corporation or the small privately run entity, to narrow the geographic divide.
The main point of search engine optimization (SEO) and reaching a global audience is not only to drive traffic to your site, but also to then convert those visitors from all over the world into paying customers. Web traffic and the ensuing exposure are nice, of course, but if those hits don’t improve business and increase sales, what purpose do they really serve?

I was speaking to a zesty MBA student the other day about the odds against something or other and she snapped back: “I love doing what people tell me I can’t do!”
I admire that attitude.
We see it in some super athletes, like Detroit Tigers outfielder Gary Sheffield. Mouthy, opinionated, and absolutely irrepressible, Sheffield will beat you with his words and his bat. By the way, he is one of my favorite players and I cheer for him no matter whose uniform he’s ripping.

At one point in my career when I was looking for writers, a friend suggested I visit some bidding sites. It was definitely helpful, as there are thousands of writers who visit these bidding sites daily looking for work, but there was something I noticed. I got many bids from foreign writers. What made those bids stick out at first were the prices. When I saw how low the bids were, I began to get excited, thinking I was going to save a bundle on my writing tasks. When I clicked on the bids to take a look at samples, I was horrified! The samples were badly written and full of errors and mistakes. Sentences contained the wrong words for the context, spelling was different and wrong, and I quickly skipped over those writers. In fact, I found many reasons why foreign writers may be bad for business!

Scientific Advertising that “Human nature does not change“…”In most respects, Human Nature is the same today as it was in the time of Caesar”. What he was saying is that we don’t have to change the way copy is presented because the psychological triggers that induce people to buy are perpetual.
