</div>
<p><a href="http://nickyjameson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/success.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; margin: 5px 10px; display: inline;" title="success" src="http://nickyjameson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/success-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="success-thumb The 25 Secrets of freelance copywriting success" width="221" height="220" align="left" /></a><span class="drop_cap">F</span>or most Direct Response Copywriters <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://bly.com');" href="http://bly.com/"><strong>Bob Bly</strong></a> needs no introduction. I have his books among my must-read reference tools and several of his practical excellent down to earth reports – many of which I use to build my own business.</p>
<p>I’ve been on Bob’s newsletter mailing list for a couple of years now and invariably he provides refreshingly down to earth, practical information to his readers.</p>
<p>Best of all, I find Bob’s internet marketing approach is completely “sans hype” and sans “BS.”</p>
<p>Bob’s latest email newsletter on December 26th gave me so many “yes!” moments that I immediately emailed him back and asked if I could share it with you on my blog – he said yes. While I already use several of these excellent tips, I found some new ones and some timely reminders.</p>
<p>If you’re a freelance copywriter (or an aspiring freelance copywriter), I hope you find the list as useful as I did.</p>
<p>Here goes.</p>
<p><strong>1- Work with clients whom you genuinely like</strong> &#8211; or at least have good personal chemistry with.</p>
<p>2-Your freelance copywriting business exists to serve your clients. Without them, you’d starve.</p>
<p><strong>3- If you want to have the final say</strong> on your copy without being told what to say and how to write it, market your own line of products, and make yourself your primary copywriting client.</p>
<p>4- Do not promise your copy will generate a specific result. It is unethical and not true: no one can guarantee a particular response rate.</p>
<p><strong>5-Proofread every piece of copy before you send it</strong> to the client. I recommending hiring a freelance proof-reader; it is difficult to proof your own copy well.</p>
<p>6 -When can you raise your fees? When you have so much business that you can afford to lose clients who are not willing to pay the higher fees.</p>
<p><strong>7- Use a standard PC with Microsoft Word,</strong> PowerPoint,and other standard software packages. Don’t write on oddball word processors, use antiquated software, or send nonstandard file formats that your clients can’t open and read.</p>
<p>8 -Number each page in your copy manuscript, so that if the pages get separated, you can easily put them in order. Also, in a discussion, it lets you and the client reference sections on specific pages.</p>
<p><strong>9- The easiest way to</strong> prevent yourself from getting ripped off by deadbeats is to get half your fee in advance before you even start the job.</p>
<p>10- Never work without a written contract that the client has signed off on. Verbal go-aheads are not enough.</p>
<p><strong>11- Trust your instincts</strong>. If you have a bad feeling about a client or a project, turn it down. Your gut feelings are right 95% of the time.</p>
<p>12- Be humble, not arrogant. If you are a nice person and your copy doesn’t work, the client will give you another chance. But if you are a jerk and your copy flops, you’re out.</p>
<p><strong>13- Find a peer or someone else whose judgment you trust.</strong> Give the headline and lead of every promotion you write (the first page or two will usually suffice) to that outside reader for a second opinion. Never send out copy that at least one person other than you, even your spouse, has read and commented on.</p>
<p>14- Use more charts and graphs in your copy to support your key claims. Even when the reader doesn’t really understand a chart or graph, the fact that there IS a chart or graph helps convince them that what you say must be true.</p>
<p><strong>15- Keep up-to-date in your field &#8211; both in marketing</strong> as well as the topics (e.g., health, investments) you write about.</p>
<p>16- The only way to become a better writer is to read and to write. Read and write every day. Read magazines, newspapers, and books during your leisure time.</p>
<p><strong>17- Get up early</strong> and dive into your toughest copywriting assignment first thing in the morning, without delay. Work until you tire. In the afternoons, you can tackle less demanding tasks like reading background material or answering e-mails.</p>
<p>18-Create a workspace that is comfortable, isolated, and quiet. Barking dogs, ringing door bells, TV in the background, and screaming kids all harm your productivity.</p>
<p><strong>19- Give yourself small rewards</strong> throughout the day for accomplishing various work-related tasks; e.g., going out to a coffee shop for lunch instead of eating at your desk.</p>
<p>20- While negotiating the work agreement with your client, ask for at least a week more than you need. As a corollary, never accept jobs that must be started and finished overnight.</p>
<p><strong>21- Don’t take it personally</strong> when a client calls and says “I don’t like the copy.” Instead say: “I want to make it as strong as we can. Tell me your thoughts and suggestions.”</p>
<p>22- Should you argue with changes your client suggests if you think they are wrong? Only if you think they will depress response. If the client does not change his mind, acquiesce pleasantly and make the changes. But send a polite e-mail noting your objection and keep a copy in the file.</p>
<p><strong>23- Get adequate rest.</strong> If you are not rested after a night’s sleep, start going to bed an hour earlier. You need to be mentally sharp to write copy, and you won’t be if you’re tired.</p>
<p>24 &#8211; Read your copy aloud at a normal speaking pace.  Doing so will reveal awkward constructions that you would otherwise gloss over when reading copy silently.</p>
<p><strong>25 &#8211; Write in a conversational manner,</strong> using words that your prospects would use to help create rapport with the people you’re selling to.</p>

</span></span></strong></td>
<td width="395"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Most Internet marketers understand that having  mini<br />
sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money<br />
online. They don&#8217;t  require a lot of time, energy, or<br />
money to set up, and once you&#8217;ve got one  up and<br />
running, you can sit back and just collect money from<br />
all the sales  you&#8217;re making.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">At least&#8230; that&#8217;s how  it&#8217;s supposed to be, right?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">The truth  is that mini sites really ARE easy to set<br />
up. They really DON&#8217;T require much  time, energy, and<br />
money to set up. So why is it that so few people<br />
actually  make money with their mini sites?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">The  answer is that they never learned how to actually<br />
turn their mini site into  a profitable moneymaker that<br />
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>*************************************************<br />
YOU&#8217;RE  ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!<br />
*************************************************</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Here&#8217;s  what this is all about: My colleague Michael<br />
Rasmussen has just released a  brand new video course<br />
that will walk you through the process of creating a<br />
killer  mini site from the ground up, and then he&#8217;ll<br />
also teach you how to actually  start making money with<br />
it right away and into the future.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">If  you&#8217;ve been looking for help with monetizing your<br />
mini sites, then this is  exactly what you need. The<br />
best part? The videos are FREE! I&#8217;ll tell you more<br />
about  that later. First, let&#8217;s talk about the videos<br />
themselves.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> If  you&#8217;re in a hurry, you can just check the<br />
videos out  right now for free. Here&#8217;s the URL:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com/?thankyou-page=59554</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>*************************************************<br />
OVERALL  QUALITY<br />
*************************************************</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">It&#8217;s  important to note that these are online videos<br />
that you access from your <a class="zem_slink" title="Web browser" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser">web  browser</a>. Michael uses<br />
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the<br />
premier  software program for creating screen capture<br />
tutorials such as these.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">The  first thing I noticed when I hit the play button<br />
on the first video was the  incredible production<br />
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture<br />
videos.  In fact, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen someone<br />
make videos that are this high  quality before.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">He uses beautifully  created graphics to pass his<br />
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is  the<br />
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing<br />
product. They sound  like they were recorded in a<br />
professional studio.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Michael  explained to me that he was sick and tired of<br />
seeing all the low quality videos  out there, and so he<br />
set out to create something different in order to<br />
raise  the bar in our industry. I think that, when you<br />
see Mini Site Profits Exposed  for yourself, you&#8217;ll<br />
agree that he has succeeded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Now  let&#8217;s move onto&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>*************************************************<br />
THE  ACTUAL VIDEOS<br />
*************************************************</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Here&#8217;s  a brief summary of each video. Obviously<br />
it&#8217;s impossible to list every single  thing here,<br />
but I want you to get a feel for what each one<br />
covered, and  how well it covered it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> If  you&#8217;re in a hurry, you can just check the<br />
videos out  right now for free. Here&#8217;s the URL:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com/?thankyou-page=59554</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>VIDEO  1 &#8211; INTRODUCTION</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This videos introduces  you to the entire course, as<br />
well as the teacher himself. You&#8217;ll learn what  you can<br />
expect from the course, and why it&#8217;s structured the<br />
way it is.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Michael  realizes that you may not have heard of him,<br />
and so he spends some time establishing  his<br />
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest<br />
successes. It doesn&#8217;t  come across as bragging at all.<br />
Michael explains that, in order for you to  get value<br />
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the<br />
teacher actually  knows what he&#8217;s talking about. By the<br />
end of this video, you will have no doubt.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">By  the way, this is a good lesson for all of us<br />
product developers. If you want  people to accept you<br />
as an authority on any subject, you first need to<br />
establish  your credibility with the reader. That way<br />
he&#8217;s willing to relax, and trust  that what you&#8217;re<br />
telling him is sound advice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>VIDEO  2 &#8211; THE BASICS</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This video will  introduce you to the basics of mini<br />
site marketing. This will set the foundation  that all<br />
future learning will rest upon, so it&#8217;s important to<br />
pay close  attention to this one.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">You&#8217;ll learn:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  What mini-sites are, and what makes them different<br />
from regular content sites.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  Which businesses they work well for… and which ones<br />
they don’t.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  The right mindset to have when it comes to creating<br />
mini sites as part of your  online <a class="zem_slink" title="Strategic management" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_management">business strategy</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">* And the  different tools you need to get started.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This  was a great video, and did an excellent job of<br />
kicking things off, and building  the foundation for<br />
the rest of the course.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>VIDEO  3 &#8211; SQUEEZE PAGES</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This is probably  one of the most useful videos of the<br />
entire course. Every Internet marketer  needs to build<br />
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best<br />
way  to capture the most opt-ins?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">The answer  is &#8216;squeeze pages&#8217;. This video will teach<br />
you:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other<br />
opt-in methods.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  The single most important thing you must include at<br />
the top of your squeeze  page to skyrocket your opt-in<br />
rate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most<br />
marketers get it wrong  (which costs them a LOT of<br />
money).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  The most important to include in your opt-in process<br />
that will make sure that  people actually receive your<br />
email.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">After  watching this video, you&#8217;ll know everything you<br />
need to know to start building  a massive opt-in list<br />
right away. This will probably be the first video that<br />
you  &#8216;take action&#8217; on. You&#8217;ll be so excited about the<br />
possibilities, that I guarantee  you&#8217;ll go and create<br />
your own squeeze page right away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>VIDEO  4 &#8211; MINI SITE COPYWRITING &#8211; PART<br />
ONE</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Nothing  happens until the sales copy is written.<br />
Graphics alone will never sell a product,  but sales<br />
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the<br />
mysterious  process of writing words that make people<br />
whip out their credit cards and buy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Specifically,  you&#8217;ll learn:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">* Why you need to learn  copywriting, even if you “hate<br />
to write”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell<br />
the difference.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that<br />
practically forces your readers  to go through your<br />
entire page.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  A simple trick you can use in your opening to make<br />
your reader want to learn  more.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">There is no skill that is more  important to your<br />
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.<br />
Make  sure you pay extra attention to this video, as<br />
well as&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>VIDEO  5 &#8211; MINI SITE COPYWRITING &#8211; PART<br />
TWO</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This  video dives right into the individual components<br />
of a killer sales letter.  You&#8217;ll learn how to create<br />
the &#8220;secret structure&#8221; of a mini site  sales letter<br />
that makes big money. Specifically, you&#8217;ll learn:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  How to create captivating body copy that draws your<br />
reader into the sales letter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the<br />
whole page, and makes them  insanely curious and want<br />
to buy your product</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  How to take the risk off people&#8217;s shoulders, so<br />
they&#8217;ll feel safe buying from  you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">* How to craft your &#8216;call to action&#8217;,  and get people<br />
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal<br />
the deal, and flip your  prospect into a buyer<br />
instantly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This  video covered a surprising amount of detail,<br />
especially considering that this  course is not<br />
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is<br />
definitely  someone who overdelivers in his educational<br />
products.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>VIDEO  6 &#8211; HOW TO AUTOMATE THE<br />
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Unless  you want to be chained to your computer, you<br />
must learn how to put your mini  sites on autopilot.<br />
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,<br />
and  letting the site itself do all the work, including<br />
the work of instantly delivering  the product to the<br />
customer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This  video will walk you through the process of<br />
automating your product delivery,  so you can just<br />
relax, and collect the money. The best part is&#8230; once<br />
you  have this automated system set up, you never have<br />
to touch it again.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><strong>VIDEO  7 &#8211; HOW TO &#8220;GROW&#8221; YOUR SALE</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This  video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for<br />

FORCE</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">If  there&#8217;s one thing I&#8217;ve noticed that all successful<br />
marketers have in common,  it&#8217;s that they have a great<br />
affiliate program. They create a program that allows<br />
other  people to make good money by promoting their<br />
products, and they get to just  sit back and relax,<br />
while everyone else is doing the hard work of<br />
promoting  FOR them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">If you&#8217;ve ever dreamed of  having an army of motivated<br />
sales people working hard to make you money, then<br />
you&#8217;re  going to love this video. Michael will teach<br />
you:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up<br />
very quickly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates<br />
(most people miss the mark  here, so pay extra<br />
attention to this part).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">*  Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough<br />
to convince people to  sign up, and what you can do<br />
instead to have people eagerly trying to become  one of<br />
your affiliates.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">* How to  motivate affiliates to sell for you.</span></p>

designing a product line that will  make you a TON of<br />
money. There&#8217;s a lot more to it than you&#8217;d think,<br />

from direct marketing) gets  it&#8217;s own video.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">After watching this  video, you&#8217;ll understand why you<br />

that mini sites require. For example, it&#8217;s really<br />

mastering HTML, and then becoming  a killer<br />
copywriter, on top of also creating the product<br />
itself.</span></p>

efficient, and begin making money  as fast as<br />
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it<br />
happen. This  video will show you exactly what to do,<br />
as well as some common (and very expensive)  pitfalls<br />
to avoid.</span></p>
