"Brace Yourself for All the Business You Can Handle with This Step-By-Step Formula Guaranteed to Pump Up Your Sales!" Hi there, Owning a business isn’t a hobby, at least not for most of us. You’re there to make money.  If you can’t figure out why your marketing materials aren’t pulling in more clients, take a lesson from the people banking the bucks.  Nine Times Out of 10 the Problem Isn’t YOU.  It’s the COPYWRITING! That’s right.  The businesses eating your lunch know the key to sales is an “ancient secret” – a time-tested practice called copywriting, the art of using persuasive language to motivate customers to buy.  And it’s what you need to master if you’re going to play with the big boys and girls. Knowing the insider secrets to crafting your own copy from the ground up can: Magically attract customers dying to do business with you Steamroll the competition not armed with your knowledge Build ironclad trust in your buyers so they return again and again Open the floodgates to limitless cash I’m Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero and my copy has been boosting sales for my clients for years. I’ve sold tons of products from nutritional supplements to videotapes to seminars to biz-op to toys to hypnosis to services…and the list goes on.  It doesn’t really matter what’s being sold.  The same copywriting techniques apply.  And they will apply to YOUR business too.  Some of the Most Successful People in the World Are My Clients They are folks who don’t have to work another day in their lives, but choose to.  They can afford to hire anyone, yet they hire me.  “If you want red hot sales, you need Red Hot Copy and Lorrie is the right one to deliver the goods. - Mark Victor Hansen, America’s leading expert on human potential We’ve all seen one of these. This is a long copy sales letter. It’s really the mother of all marketing materials because it covers every aspect of your business and counters objections. Which is why they don’t buy. It has testimonials, bullets, frequently asked questions, your offer, your guarantee - the whole ball of wax. Just look at the layout. Where do your eyes go first? But where do you even begin to write any copy, much less a page sales letter? That’s what I’m going to show you. You start with the INGREDIENTS – RESEARCH. Just like baking a cake, before you write one single word of copy, you have to have your shopping done. You have to collect your research.

5 Ingredients/Research
Features/Benefits Target Market Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

6 Features and Benefits Features are the adjectives, or tangibles, of the product. Benefits explain what the customer gets out of it – the emotional component.

7 Features and Benefits WIIFM??? (What’s in it for ME?)
WIIFM. Everyone’s favorite acronym. What’s in it for me? That’s what it’s all about. When someone is looking at your business for something they want, they’re trying to figure out what you offer that’s going to make them happier, richer or thinner than your competition for the cheapest price in the fastest time possible. That’s why features and benefits are so important.

8 Features Benefits Customized speaking plan
Personal coaching and evaluation from Les Eligibility in his Speaker’s Bureau. Attendance to onsite summits taught by Les Full year of weekly mastermind teleseminars Get ahead faster with exclusive expert help (fast route to $ & status) Get paid speaking opportunities ($ & status) Networking opportunities to further your career faster ($ & status) Get the recognition you deserve (status) Continuous education to solidify your learning (develop expertise = $) This is an abbreviated sample. The list was much longer, but you wouldn’t be able to read it. So here are a few highlights he is doing for his $10,000 protégé program. What I did, was take my features and benefits list and made subheadlines and bullet points. That makes it easier for the eye to catch a benefit when someone scans your copy.

10 Who is your customer? (Hint: It’s not EVERYBODY!)
Target Market Who is your customer? (Hint: It’s not EVERYBODY!)

11 Ethnic/Religious Background
Target Market Market Segmentation Age Gender Education Income Marital Status Ethnic/Religious Background

12 Write to ONE person, not a mob. Your “TARKET”!
Target Market Write to ONE person, not a mob. Your “TARKET”! The more detail you can get, the better. Really become a reporter with your potential clients. I cover more ways to drill down in your target market in my workbook but this one concept will be a big aha moment for you if you get it. When you sit down to write your copy, WRITE TO ONE PERSON NOT A MOB. I coined the word “tarket”, a combination of target and market. Because tarket is singular and target market is plural. When you’re writing copy, it’s CRITICAL you think in the singular, not the plural. Do you know who Volvo’s tarket is? A 35 year old married mother of two. That doesn’t mean men don’t buy Volvo’s. It means they’re smart enough to narrow down to the single person – the tarket. What about USA Today? A 40 year old male business traveler. If big corporations see the value in narrowing down to a tarket, can’t you? Who is your tarket? Get it down to gender, hair color, job, health, habits…everything you can think of. Don’t be afraid to be brutally narrow with this piece. Once you’ve narrowed down your single tarket give him a name. Seriously. Like Paul or Jennifer. My tarket’s named Nikki and she’s who I imagine every time I write sales copy for that target market.

13 My Tarket Nikki Stanton, a 37 year old divorced entrepreneur with a web conferencing business. She’s Internet and business savvy. Invests most of her profit back into the business. Lives in San Diego in a gated community with her 10 year old daughter, Madison. Involved in daughter’s school and drives her to dance classes. Has a home office making approximately $117,000 per year. Jogs 3 times a week in the neighborhood. She loves to find bargains on designer clothes. And dreams of visiting Italy with her daughter someday.

14 Frequently Asked Questions
Overcome objections before they think of them Build trust because you have nothing to hide Are a good place to outshine the competition

15 FAQs Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? How Much?
Now we’re into the reporter version of my talk. This is where you step into the shoes of your customer and answer their frequently asked questions or FAQs. The Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? How Much? In order to connect with a potential client, you have to know the inner conversations in his mind. What does he want to know about your business? How can you give him information that makes it easier for him to decide to buy? If you can head off an objection with simple information, your job just got a whole lot easier.

16 FAQs “I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.” --Albert Einstein Albert Einstein said, “I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.” Ask a lot of questions. That’s the key to being persuasive. Remember, when someone’s reading your marketing material, you RARELY have their undivided attention. We’re blasted with over 3,500 marketing messages a day! Plus, there’s a slew of other marketers trying to do business with your customers! People don’t buy because of clever slogans or graphics They don’t buy because you say you’re the best They don’t even buy because you have a truly great product They buy because you have the solution to making them richer, happier or better looking. Humans aren’t really that complicated. So how do you find out what they want? Simple. You ask them. BE CURIOUS…

23 HEADLINE Opening/Hook SUBHEAD (problem) Benefit SUBHEAD (solution) Bullets TESTIMONIALS OFFER CALL TO ACTION GUARANTEE BONUSES SUMMARY P.S.

24 Two Most Important Parts of ANY Sales Letter…
Headline Offer A headline is called an ad for your ad. It’s the first thing a reader sees. In print we notice pictures first, but online, our eyes drift right to the headline. Advertising genius, David Ogilvy said, "On the average, 5 times as many people read the headlines as read the body copy. It follows that unless your headline sells your product, you have wasted 90% of your money." The offer is not only where you make the money – but it’s where most customers duck out and most copywriters fall down.

25 Qualities of an Excellent Headline
SUMMARIZES what they are about to read Speaks DIRECTLY to the reader THE ANSWER to the reader’s prayers EASY-TO-READ and instantly understood Your big opening is NOT where you want to fall flat on your face. Make sure your headline does its job. Summarizes what they are about to read (this is especially true for scanners) Speaks directly to the reader (target market in an editorial style – Gary Halbert says that tone can increase response rate 2,200%) Appears to be the answer to the reader’s prayers … Easy to read and instantly understood (doesn’t have 2 or more meanings - PIERCED BY 301 NAILS....RETAINS FULL AIR PRESSURE – I thought that it referred to fingernails – but sometimes I’m not the smartest tool in the shed)

DO YOU DO ANY OF THESE 10 EMBARRASSING THINGS? Bull's-eye question. All of us are afraid of embarrassing ourselves before others: being criticized, looked down upon, talked about. "Which 'ten' are they? Do I do any of them?" Plus people respond very well to finite numbers in headlines – they want to know exactly how much information they’re going to get. How To Make $87,000 Per Year As A Magazine Writer! How to headlines are particularly attractive to people looking for information – which is their main activity on the Internet.

30 The Path to Speaking Success Has Already Been
Attention Speakers! How to Have an Organized Office that Does Everything But Automatically Book Your Gigs! Dear Speaker, Are you tired of keeping meeting planners on hold while you try desperately to find the master calendar for your speaking schedule?

So it connects stronger with the reader. The subheads and bullets break it up to the eye. And see where I’ve bolded some of the words to make them stand out more?

Maybe it makes it more real to them by tapping into their imagination.
