Pithy Prose: The Wit and Wisdom of Oscar Wilde - Part 2 of an occasional series I am a collector of quotations. I have been ever since I learned how to write, I mean professionally, not in primary school. I am particularly fond of what I like to call "pithy prose". These short quotations can cover an unlimited variety of subjects: love, religion, politics, human nature, etc. What unites them is their ability to say more in one or two sentences than could be expressed in a thousand-word treatise. It's like being able to pour a liter of liquid into a half-liter bottle. They are superb examples of Mark Twain's famous dictum, "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.

These short quotations can cover an unlimited variety of subjects: love, religion, politics, human nature, etc. What unites them is their ability to say more in one or two sentences than could be expressed in a thousand-word treatise.

That way you have permission to contact them again and again, educating them about your helpful services and products that they came to learn more about. But you can’t just put up a link that says “free newsletter”. No one cares! You need to carefully craft an opt-in box that works like a big net, catching the exact type of “fish” you want as your ideal clients and customers. Also remember, don’t hide your box at the bottom of your web pages. Recycle Your Articles to Gain Tons of Traffic and New Subscribers - While there are many effective ways to get more traffic and build your email newsletter list, the one I’ve had the MOST success with is to submit articles for use on other people’s websites and in their ezines. “But wait a minute,” you say. “Aren’t I supposed to be creating great articles for MY OWN e-zine?” Yes, you are! And after your article appears in your OWN e-zine, you should then submit it to others.

Everything from cosmetics to a cell phone accessory. When pressed, my friends admit the same. If you sniff around most people's homes, you'll find SOMETHING ordered from an infomercial, whether it's the Ronco Rotisserie or Victoria Principal's skincare. You may think of these often annoying programs as "trash TV", but think again. Did you realize that they use many of the exact same strategies that we should?

Copywriting Tips - 9 Powerful Ways to Grab and Hold Your Prospects' Attention - One of the most important copywriting tips is to immediately grab your target prospects’ attention. Once you’ve captured their interest, you have to keep them glued to your message. All your efforts in creating the sales letter will go to waste if people will not even begin to read it. Once your prospects read the first 25% of the entire sales message, there’s a good chance they’ll continue reading. That’s why it’s vital that the first few parts of the sales letter grab their eyeballs or arouse their curiosity so much that they can’t stop reading. Here are some vital copywriting tips to grab your prospects’ attention and keep it longer. 1) The most important part of your sales letter is your headline. This is the first part of the sales copy that people will read.

The most successful authors do much more than sell books. Spanish in the Real World - In our increasingly shrinking global world learning other languages seems like a natural progression. Speaking a second language acts as a window to a wider world. Specifically, becoming a Spanish as well as an English speaking member of the United States would yield both academic and cultural results while giving you a broader array of opportunities. Spanish as a language has a foothold and a very bright future here in the United States. After English, Spanish is the second most common language in the United States. The influx of Spanish speaking immigrants from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Mexico has greatly increased the number of Spanish speakers in the U.S.. Traditionally, an immigrant’s original language tends to become reduced through generational assimilation. However, of the U.S. Hispanics only 9% speak English only. 50% of second generation immigrants speak Spanish at home. Columbo - What Can a Bumbling, Inarticulate Los Angeles Cop Teach Us about Effective Communication? - Decade after decade, perhaps the most popular type of television program has been the detective story, the traditional "who dun it?", presumably because people enjoy being held in suspense. It is therefore instructive to note that one of the most popular TV detective shows of all time has no suspense to it whatsoever. Remember "Columbo"? How To Define Your Own Niche - This is one of the hardest things speakers have to do - defining their niche, and in most cases, it can stop them dead in their tracks. Inexperienced speakers have a tendency to generalize themselves and that won’t lead to those successful paid speaking engagements. You must be creative and innovative; find your own niche and become the most well known speaker in that niche. Defining your niche Define your audience: Decide who you want to speak to mainly - who will be your target audience? Let's say that you have decided to speak to women only, the next step would be to ... How to Get Bookings - Find your niche One of the biggest mistakes a speaker can make is having a “general” topic. You want to narrow your expert niche as much as possible. Research the industry so you know “what’s hot” and “what’s not”. Take that research and develop a niche around it, be sure it is something you have experience with and will be able to present it as a professional expert speaker in that field. Don’t waste your time, energy and money on developing a “niche” that just isn’t going to get any recognition because it isn’t something that planners or organizations will be looking for!
