There’s a line sung by a soldier in the movie 1776…

“Is anybody there? – Does anybody care?”

Maybe you’re wondering that very thing about
your business, message or cause.

If you’ve ever struggled to find the people who
are your ideal clients -

If you’ve ever wished you knew the secret to
attracting them easily –

Then you’re about to smile and laugh with relief,

because your answer is here.

It’s something that most people do in a way that
does not cause sales – yet it is so EASY to
attract customers when you take 6 simple steps.

It’s something that people often put on blogspot
but need to have as your own domain.

Yes – it’s a blog – and …

This weekend, you’re invited to take part

in a VERY unique Blogging Workshop.

(That’s December 4-5, 2010

I’m co-teaching this weekend workshop with
Gina Gaudio Graves, Dean & FOunder of Directions
University and a great friend of mine.

AND – This is a workshop you will attend from home.

This Workshop takes place in a webinar so you
don’t ever have to leave the comfort of your home.
That helps save thousands by not having to travel!

Because it takes place in a webinar, it also allows
us to use a VERY unique format.  EVERY module in the
course has 3 parts that consist of…

… Learning
… Doing
… Sharing

Gina and I recently used this format for another
workshop, and we discovered something wonderful.

I knew, as an educator, that this format of learn-do-share
would aid your learning tremendously…

but neither of us realized what a fabulous GROUP energy -
or “umph” would come from everyone working on their
individual projects but sharing the space together.

By the end of the weekend, you will have:

* A list of 8 to 10 high-value keywords that
will ensure that you’ll meet your in’come goals
because you’ll have enough traffic to your site

* At least one blog post on your blog that
you’ll write using the “Magic Formula for Writing a
Powerful Post” that will help you get listed in the
search engines

* More than 100 backlinks to your blog that you’ll
create using the “Simple 6 Step Process for
Driving Traffic to Your Site”

* And a SYSTEM for continuing your blogging and
getting RESULTS!

You’ll find the complete curriculum and other
details at

—> http://www.askggg.com/blogworkshop

Why blog?

Using a blog is the EASIEST way to build a list,
drive traffic and make s’ales!

You not only don’t NEED a separate website when
you have a blog, you really don’t want a
separate website either!

ProfitableStorytelling.com is a blog, and I attract
the right people because of using the system
you’re about to learn when you join us for this
unique course.

When you see how easy it is to get results with a
blog, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start one earlier!

Remember…

“Winners take imperfect action, while losers are
still perfecting the plan.”

This weekend’s Blogging Workshop will get you
taking action effortlessly so that your results
can get started ASAP!

Can’t wait to watch you succeed this weekend!

• How Can Copywriting Be FUN and Profitable? Join The Story Lady and The JV Queen for a Live Copywriting Webinar & “Learn to Write Killer Copy that Sells Like Crazy!” (profitablestorytelling.com)

When you learn something new, immediately
put it into action so you truly GET the lesson.

Yes – Doing is learning with legs!.

I find that too many workshops are much more
shop than actual work.

You want a RESULT from the learning, right?
Well, results aren’t plucked off of trees ready to
eat, are they?

And yet unless nudged…no, PUSHED…you most
likely won’t DO much of anything with what you
learn.

Especially when it’s something uncomfortable and
maybe even scary, like writing sales materials is
for most people who embark on your entrepreneurial
journey.

Ah, those nasty old habits–fear, procrastination,
and “someday syndrome” will kick in big time
unless  YOU kick THEM first.

And whether you’re writing the sales letter for your
life-changing book, your CD/DVD, your home study
program or anything else –

There is a proven way to do it that increases results
BIG TIME.

(and lots of ways to get it wrong)

Another insider secret:
Your letter is truly a way to connect your essential
solution with the person in pain who needs it and even
craves it most!

You are providing a valuable service to your ideal
customer by crafting the letter that tells her about
your solution well.

So if you’re ready to stop thinking about it and
start WRITING sales copy, this weekend’s workshop is
for you.

This is a true WORKshop.

The first half of each segment (except the first)
is learning about a specific element of a sales
letter—

• headline package
• benefits
• guarantee
• Testimonials
• Bonuses
• call to action
• etc.

The second half of each segment is all about DOING.

So you learn it, you do it, you learn it , you DO it!

It’s happening this weekend, Saturday-Sunday Nov. 6-7.
for a tuition so affordable you’ll think we missed a zero!

–> Reserve your seat NOW!

(and if you can’t make it, you’ll still get all the
webinars, audios, and incredible tools)

This workshop will make it incredibly easy for you to
pump out a great sales letter anytime you need one.

Have you ever written a complete sales letter, with
ALL the necessary elements–in 2 days?
(or…EVER?)

And have you ever had the opportunity to first
learn about one specific part of the letter, then
to put your new-found knowledge into action?

The power of doing it this way is you stop fear
and anxiety in their tracks and immediately take
action.

How would you like to be guided step by step
through every part of writing a sales letter—

Gina Gaudio Graves, my dear friend and colleague,
host of the radio show we do each week too,
and I are teaching the Copywriting Systems
Workshop THIS WEEKEND!

AND one of the world’s top copywriters –
David Garfinkl – is teaching one of the lessons.

David Garfinkel

David Garfinkel… the world renowned copywriting
expert, persuasion expert, co-author of Guerrilla
Copywriting, and too many other honors and kudos
to name here.

David and Gina had worked together several years
ago but had lost touch over the years.

Since Gina and I are co-hosting the “Copywriting
Systems Workshop” this weekend, she phoned David
to see if he could make a special guest appearance.

We were both ecstatic when he not only agreed
to attend — he even agreed to help with a HUGE
surprise for you and the others who attend this
weekend!

Surprise!

You’re going to have to wait until the weekend to see
what the “surprise” is!  But you can get a sneak peak
of everything planned for this weekend:

–> Reserve your seat NOW!

If you click the ID card on the top of that page, you’ll
get a complete run down of what the weekend is
all about.

You’ll also get to hear from a few of the students who
attended this past Tuesday night’s Copywriting Webinar.
(It went nearly 4  hours and was JAM PACKED with
great tips for writing killer copy!)

So if you’re ready to stop thinking about it and
start WRITING copy, this weekend’s workshop is
for you.

–> Reserve your seat NOW!

(and if you can’t make it, you’ll still get all the
webinars, audios, and incredible tools)

This workshop will make it incredibly easy for you to
pump out a great sales letter anytime you need one.

I know that it’s late notice, but this is an event that is
only going to happen once!

It’s a weekend that focuses on the DOING!

As you’ll see in the outline of the 2-day workshop webinar,
every module has a learning element and a DOING element
so that you can actually write your very own sales letter

– start to finish! — by the time we finish Sunday evening!

Best of all, since you’ll attend via Webinar, you won’t have
to spend a single cent on travel!

We’re all getting back together 2 weeks later on,
November 21st for a “Copy Critique” and Q & A call.

And — David has even agreed to be present for this call
as well!

Paying for Copywriting

If you hired a copywriter to write your sales letter,
you’d pay anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000 or more!
(Top notch copywriters can sometimes get $50,000 to
$100,000 plus a percentage of sales!)

Yet, you can attend this weekend for less than you’d
pay for a copy review with most copywriters!

Why are Gina and I keeping tuition so low?

Gina lives in a motorhome full time, and she is faced with
a HUGE repair bill, so consider this a “fire sale” to pump in
funds for her to get the needed repairs.

It’s helping Gina raise the much needed funds for the
$33,000 in repairs on the RV (plus attorneys fees,
living expenses, etc.).  So we REALLY want to over-deliver
for you on this one!

Lowest Tuition Ever!

After the weekend workshop webinar is over, Gina and I
will be offering the recordings and bonuses as part
of a package.  But it will be more than double what tuition
is right now!

So, if you’ve been wanting to write a sales letter for your
product — or if you’ve wanted to revise copy for someone
else’s product that you want to offer — now is the time to
get it done!

And — since you’ll get mp3 audio and video recordings of
every second this weekend, you’ll be able to refer to them
ANYTIME you need another sales letter for another product!

–> Reserve your seat NOW!

You MUST Be a Powerful Persuader

I don’t care how much traffic you can drive to your website.

I don’t care how great your product is either.

If you can’t write “copy”…
If you can’t persuade someone to take action with words…

Your bank account isn’t ever going to fill!

That’s why copywriting is the one ESSENTIAL skill
that every entrepreneur MUST have!

Understanding what makes a great sales letter will help
you write better brochures, blog posts, articles, webpages,
and even ultra-brief messages!

Even if you can’t write copy yourself, at a minimum, you
must be able to assess whether copywriting you’ve
outsourced is any good and, you must be able to edit it
if it’s not.  In order to do that, you’ve GOT to have a
working knowledge of copywriting!

That reminds me—I know someone who outsourced his sales letter and BOY was that a mistake! But he didn’t know enough about it to KNOW how awful it was!

Oh — I almost forgot!

Free Bonus Product to WRITE a Sales Letter For!

If you don’t yet have a product to write copy for, we’ve
got a selection of 20+ products that you can use to write
copy this weekend during the workshop!

These products range from around $47 to $397.

If you choose to write the sales letter for one of them,
you’ll get the product F.R.E.E.!

Consider it a special BONUS for being there and taking
action this weekend!

Other bonuses include special software that will
AUTOMATE the sales letter writing process for you by
giving you templates to work with for each and every
part of the sales letter.

You’ll also get templates, checklists, and more just for
attending!

I’m looking forward to spending the weekend with you!

Beware of False Evidence Appearing Real

The other day, I went into the chicken coop to gather eggs. I still have some fake eggs in there from when the hens were babies learning where they should deposit their precious gold-filled jewels. Even though the hens know exactly where to lay eggs, some of them evidently like to feel as if they’re really accomplishing something, because they have moved a number of the fakes into the nests.

The plastic eggs are quite realistic. They’re a little rough, so they don’t seem like plastic. They’re light brown, just like most of the eggs from my brown-laying ladies, and they’re about the size you’d expect any egg to be. But they’re hollow and insubstantial in heft.

So when I approached the nest in the hay bail, the hen whom I call Brrr because of the growly noise she makes told me she had her fortune beneath her and she did not want to give it up. She’s actually a sweet hen but makes a lot of noise when you go for her stash. Laughing, I lifted Brrr off her hoard and discovered she did indeed have a whole pile of eggs.

If you look at them, they all appear to be real. And when a hen has been sitting over them, they’re all toasty warm. So they all feel the same at first touch.

So in order to take only the nourishing eggs home, I have to handle each egg a little to sort the real from the fake. As I went through this sorting exercise, I thought how much it reminded me of doing business online.

See, there are a lot of gurus who appear to have nourishing information. They package it in a way that makes it appear valuable. It’s the right kind of stuff, and it seems appealing. It looks like exactly what you need

As a matter of fact,some people hoard all this information as if it is all a treasure beyond measure, just as Brrr does. It is only when you take the time to study the items that you realize some are heavy, nourishing and true, while others are hollow and misleading.

I know I’ve run into a number of fake eggs in my entrepreneurial journey. I even used to work with one of them. Perhaps you’ve encountered some misleading information along the way as well.

So whenever you encounter someone who appears to have valuable resources that will nourish and strengthen you, be sure to interact with that egg to discern whether or not it’s true!

***

What you’ve just experienced is an example of storytelling for business in which I used an everyday occurrence…well, for ME it’s an everyday occurrence…and used it to show you an important teaching  in an unusual and memorable way.

Perhaps you’ll remember the story of the plastic eggs next time you encounter what appears at first glance to be nutritious, healthy resources. And I’m sure that like me, you’ll pick up a fake once or twice and only realize when it’s in your hand how useless it truly is.

Where does storytelling come in to your business? Everywhere! You will tell stories in blog posts, articles, teleseminars, webinars, live events, inside your book, inside your product, in coaching calls, in consultations, in emails…everywhere!

Storytelling for business belongs in all your communications, including articles.

One of the world’s most well-known article marketers, whose own articles can be found on top websites like About.com, Home Business Magazine, Site Pro News, MarketingProfs,MediaPost and thousand more invited me to be a guest expert in his new article writing live-by-phone workshop event starting this week.

I am really excited, because article marketing expert Eric Gruber has grown his whole business around articles, and his approach to article marketing is heart-centered and relationship building. I’ve personally met him at some live events and am truly impressed. He makes writing good articles easy.

I’m so impressed with his system that I am promoting it from inside the pages of The Instant VIP book, which teaches experts how to write a book that prospers your business.

I am excited to join his 7-night event where I will show you step-by-step how to…

Design your story — and use it within your articles

Now, discover how to write articles the right way so you can…

· Articulate the seemingly un-nameable, intuitive work
you do in their business. When you can articulate what

talk about what they do and how they do it in a way
that is understandable and compelling.

consistently, without losing your true voice.

· Feel connected to your heart and your best clients, so
you know what you write isn’t boring, or mushy.

content, volunteering to promote your business without
you even asking.

· Control the mind of your prospects and influence them
to buy into your ideas. Using my article writing
system, you can have the power to motivate, influence
and persuade your prospects to agree to practically
any idea you propose.

· Push the right buttons – or more precisely – the right
psychological triggers that gets readers to take
instant action as soon as they done reading your
article.

· Build relationships with your readers as they read
everything you write.

· Command greater fees, charge higher prices, and lower
price resistance among potential clients and customers
just by writing thought leadership articles.

· Gain the respect, attention and support of your peers
and prospects and become known as the celebrity expert
in your market

Yes, this is all possible – if you follow Eric’s article writing
system that he lays right out in front of you, step-by-step
during his new 7-night article writing workshop.

live calls, you will get the complete set of audio
recordings free!

Yes I’m an affiliate as well as faculty, and I KNOW Eric will provide enormous value to you throughout the workshop. Otherwise, I would not be involved. I care so much about you and your success. I will steer you right.

And, how does saving $100 on the new article writing
program sound to you?

articles — and do business online. I promise that Eric and I
will be revealing information during these 7 days, that
