When Your Our Writing Feels “Wrong” What Do You Do?

Welcome back to Kufre Ekpo’s Blog and today I’m going to share some lessons I've learned to help you shape your successful freelance business. Writing is the window to an individual's soul. It is a way for other people to see what is in your head. It is a way for them to see how you process information and where your opinions lay. It is really all about how you compose yourself on the paper. Today, I want to talk about something that can happen when you're writing. It's a gut feeling that something isn't quite right . Here's a story to illustrate what I mean. Read the story what happened to a copywriter here. It happened on a project for a client I really wanted to impress. I was working with the marketing manager to develop an outline for a sales letter. We agreed on a final version, and I started to write. However, writing was difficult. The pieces didn't seem to fit together. My gut was telling me something was wrong, but my

One of the ways which one can make money online is by publishing sponsored posts on this blog and on its social media accounts. A sponsored post is simply a post published on any targeted website/blog which is explicitly sponsored as an advertisement by a particular company or an individual.

#Writer's Life In today’s blog post I am going to discuss with you how to write a Sales letter that will turn into a blockbuster. As a Copywriter, you know about all the elements that go into a successful promotion. You know about writing conversationally … making bold promises … piling on the proof … making the offer … and closing the sale. But, what makes the prospect want to read your promotion? The headline and lead? Yes … but most importantly, it's the idea behind the headline and the lead — the concept around which you wrap the whole package — that gets a prospect interested in your promotion. And not just an idea, a Big Idea . Packages based on weak ideas typically don't perform well … and they definitely don't perform as well as they could. And you can't make a career writing packages like that. But when you "get" the concept of the Big Idea — when you can identify and develop powerful, compelling concepts for your prom

Find out how you can join their ranks.   A buy-and-sell enterprise is nothing more than purchasing cheaply new or previously owned products that we all need, use or want, and reselling these same items for more than cost. The difference between what you paid and what you sold it for, of course, is your profit. The mantra of every buy-and-sell enterprise is simple, and easily memorized: Buy low, sell high. That is precisely the purpose of this book-to show you how you can start and operate your own independent buy-and-sell enterprise so you can buy low and sell high, and make a bundle of profit in the process. Buying and selling for profit is nothing new. It has been around for thousands of years; the only difference is that the currency has switched from goats and bread to paper and plastic. With that said, howe
