How come you're seeing certain ads over-and-over again?

Why are they working. and why do some display ads deserve to be nothing more than bird cage lining.

Since we've been discussing sales copy "voices" lately, I'll let you in on a little secret about display ad voices. The biggest problem with display ad "voices" is that, for the most part -- there really aren't any.

Self Publishing Info
The book business is a billion dollar industry; however grabbing your slice of the pie will require skills far beyond simply writing well and conveying your message clearly.

There are more than 7,000 newspapers in the United States and countless ezines, newsletters and content based websites that are looking articles and information to share with their readers. The benefits of writing articles are:
  • Increased exposure for your book...

  • We've all been there, you want to finish that manuscript, chapter or even paragrah but it just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to make it happen.
