The Program:

You put up yet another blog post and linked it to a host of offerings, but nothing is selling. Or you’ve published an excellent book but the back copy cover wouldn’t entice even your mother to buy it. Or you’ve rewritten your one-sheet message to book more engagements, but how you describe your programs doesn’t resonate with those you want to impress.

Because your business results tie closely to the marketing copy you write, how you learned to write in school just won’t cut it today.

In this teleseminar, Barbara shares common mistakes that often scuttle your attempts to convert words into action — mistakes you might not even know you’re making!

Step one is being aware of those mistakes; step two involves discovering what you might do differently to:

  • Craft persuasive paragraphs that address your reader’s pain (it’s not all about you!)
  • Say what you intend to convey in clear, concise ways (a confused person doesn’t buy)
  • Tap into imaginative ways of expressing your message (overcome the boring factor)
  • Make it easy (not tedious) for people to read what you say in writing (whack wordiness)
  • Plan your messages in a way that puts the writing process on autopilot (so essential information isn’t forgotten)

Don’t miss this opportunity to “go deep” and strengthen everything you write — from emails to proposals to one-sheets, blog posts, and back-cover copy. No one will be persuaded to take action if there’s no persuasive power in your pen.
