__________________
A warm welcome to all of our New
Subscribers.
Our Article Submission Service is really KICKIN' !
We may not have thousands upon thousands of publishers
who accept article submissions from our service, but the
600+ that we do have are all high quality publishers who
do make the time to review the articles for publication.
The writers who utilize this service have been more than
satisfied with the responses they receive. Quality is
of a much higher caliber than Quantity. Wouldn't it be
nice to have a 10% response rate on 600+ subscribers, than
a 1% response rate on 3000 subscribers? You do the math.
Not to mention the time and energy it takes from
your business
to try to submit manually to publishers. Why bother writing an
article
with all the time that takes. It is much more effective and logical
to use an article submission service. And EzineTrendz has been
proven to be one of the top services. If you write articles and you
would like more information about our services, please visit our
site at:
Don't forget to:
Take a look at our a*dvertising packages and order
today.
You can't go wrong. We have immediate availability for solo a*ds,
sponsor a*ds and classified a*ds.
Our Anniversary Variety a*d packages will save you
even a bigger bundle. You can view them at:
Have a GREAT Weekend!
Until Next time,

Short Copy: Understanding Its Purpose
Can Increase Sales
by Karon Thackston © 2003
http://www.copywritingcourse.com
«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»
I believe it was Mark Twain that once said, "If I
would have had
time, I would have written a shorter letter." His point being...
it takes much more thought and time to write a short, concise
piece than a long one. It's true, too!
Think about it. How hard is it to get your point
across in a
very limited amount of time or space? Ever tried to write copy
for a postcard mailing? How about a 30-second radio commercial?
How do you tell customers everything you want them to know in
just a few words? Truth is... you don't.
Short copy has some special considerations. The
first (and most
important) is that it isn't meant to make the sale. Then why do
you write it? *To spark interest!*
Short copy plays an important role in the
advertising process. It
can be used as a lead generation tool, an announcement, a teaser
to build interest, and in lots of other ways. Extremely short
copy is simply meant to lead to other means of closing a sale.
Postcard mailers might instruct the reader to
send for an
information package. Pay-per-click search engine listings will
guide the reader to a Web site just full of copy. Ezine ads do
the same thing. Small display ads in newspapers or in-store
signage may encourage the reader to get more details. You get
the point.
Short copy needs to be extremely targeted. For
example, if
you're running a small display ad in a magazine you'll want to
take into consideration "why" the readers bought that magazine.
Then create your headline and copy to speak to their special
interests.
If the magazine is devoted to Web site
development, address that
interest in your ad. Consider what will grab your customer's
attention and make him/her curious. The "call-to-action" for
short ads is always aimed at getting more information... not
necessarily at making the sale.
Many times, short copy will pull a better
response if a
limited-time offer is made. "Zero percent interest until January
30th" or "Order before February 1st and get FREE shipping."
WARNING: Be very, VERY sure that your support
copy is ready to go
when you run short ads. For instance, I once had a client
approach me about writing copy for a postcard campaign he wanted
to do. As we went through the process of his customers' most
desired behavior, I discovered that he wanted readers to visit
his Web site to get the additional information they needed in
order to purchase. However, his Web site was hardly set up to
sell anything to anybody.
While the postcard was fully capable of
generating leads for the
client, the support information he had prepared was in desperate
shape! He would have seen little return on his investment - not
because the postcard didn't do its job - but because the "landing
page" of his site was simply awful.
Whether you're asking readers of short copy to
call, click, or
come by, be sure your support staff or information is ready,
willing, and able to handle the job.
Lastly, when you write extremely short copy,
remember to stay
focused. As I've said, there is not enough room to sell the
customers within your copy, but there IS enough room to pique
their interest. Use the limited space you have to punch up the
biggest benefits or end results your customers are looking for,
and you'll see bigger returns on your investment.

10 reasons why beer should be served at work
1. It's an incentive to show up.
2. It leads to more honest communications.
3. It reduces complaints about low pay.
4. Employees tell management what they
think, not what management wants to
hear.
5. Increase job satisfaction because if you
have a bad job, you don't care.
6. It eliminates vacations because people
would rather come to work.
7. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises
when they are wasted.
8. Employees work later since there's no
longer a need to relax at the bar.
9. Employees no longer need coffee to sober up.
10. Sitting on the copy machine will no longer
be seen as "gross."

HOT BIZTIP
_____________________
...."System Tray Clogged Up?"
So you have 25 icons in your system tray. So what?
So
they're eating your computer's memory like rats chewing
through Internet cables.
System Tray: That area "down there" in the lower
right
corner of your screen where the clock sits.
Each icon represents a program that's running
silently in
the background. A "TSR"... Terminate and Stay Resident. A
"TSR" is a program that starts up when you turn on your
computer, then terminates (you don't see it) but stays
resident in memory.
And it uses up resources! (A resource is a special
place in
memory that is easily wasted.)
Check your resources now. Right click on My
Computer, choose
"Properties", then click the "Performance" tab.
What is the percentage of free resources? 45? 65?
80? If
your computer is like most folks, you'll have maybe 45
percent free.
Which of course means over half of your system's
brains are
being clogged. And that's why your system may freeze up,
lock up, fall apart, or collapse. No amount of CPR or
Advanced Computer Life Support will cure it.
The only way to "fix" your computer's resource
problem is to
reboot... that is, restart.
You'll get our report on how to use the Utility, as
well as
a link to a site that tells you what you can disable. By
"Utility" I don't mean Pacific Gas and Electric. I mean
MSCONFIG. It's called a utility. It's a little program that
does big things for you.
