15 Minutes to Fame: Moving Mountains

If you’re familiar with author Jack Canfield or if you’ve ever worked with a personal coach, you probably know about “tolerations.” They are those things in your life that aren’t the way you’d like them to be, but that you keep putting off fixing either because you don’t know where to start or because the task seems insurmountable.

Often tolerations are things around the house that need fixing or cleaning. But, sometimes they are work-related.

Maybe you’ve got a personal work project like a Money-Making Website that is sitting on your computer half-done that makes you give a little sigh of resignation every time you think about it. Or, maybe you’ve got a project looming that you know you should have started already and you get a little sick to your stomach when you move it forward from yesterday’s to-do list to today’s.

The problem with tolerations is that they can affect your entire mindset without you even realizing it. By letting things stack up, or leaving something unhandled, you feed a defeated mindset. And that makes being creative, being innovative, and taking the initiative more difficult.

I had a toleration that I handled this past week, and I can’t believe how much better I feel. It was just a matter of setting a day aside and making an agreement with myself that if I only got one thing done that day, it would be to eliminate the toleration.

Fixing things took less time than I thought (that’s often the case with a toleration … it seems like it will take so long because you have so much emotional energy invested in avoiding it). And, I feel so much lighter, my thoughts feel quicker … I’m ready to conquer the world.

So, do you have a lingering toleration that’s slowing Read more »

Member Spotlight: Kellie Craft On Blazing Forward

Written by on · 1 Comment

Dear Web Writer,

“Be a Nike and ‘Just do it!’”

So says Kellie Craft, who — if you ever have the pleasure of meeting her — is the kind of person who radiates happiness.

Maybe it’s because she’s pursuing her passion and now has time for the important things in life, like her daughter.

Maybe it’s just her natural ability to improve things, whether its websites or the lives of her fellow web writers.

No matter how you look at it, Kellie embodies the bliss of web writing: She’s created a wide network of supportive freelancers, she’s persistent in her goals, and she’s focused on not just getting projects and earning money … but on using that ability to enrich her life experiences.

Enjoy learning more about my friend, Kellie.

To your web-writing success,

Mindy

(If you have any questions or comments for Kellie, post them below and we’ll make sure she sees them.)

Introducing: Kellie Craft, Founding Member

Life Before Web Writing:

I worked either in an office or a cubicle. You know, the 8-to-5 routine. It was nice for the steady paycheck and benefits. But, then I had my daughter. When she started school, I wanted to have more of a presence … I wanted to go on her field trips and help with classroom parties when they needed it. I couldn’t do that with an 8-to-5 J-O-B.

Why Did You Become a Web Writer?

I love the Web. There’s so much information you can share — blogs, videos, podcasts, simple articles! Everyone uses the Web for just about everything. So, I decided to give it a try … I decided to share what I know and hopefully it will help whomever is looking.

Web-Writing Specialty:

I write B2B for the High-Tech Industry. I highly recommend everyone finding Read more »

Using Lift Notes to Bond and Boost Sales

Written by on · Leave a Comment

“The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.” — Peter F. Drucker

Today we’re going to talk about another important component of the direct-response package — the “lift note.”

Lift notes are those little inserts that accompany a sales letter inside the direct mail envelope. They can be small little 3” x 5” folding notes, or they can be three-page color brochures. It’s all up to you and what you need in order to reinforce the overall message being presented in the package.

The online equivalent of a lift note can come in many variations — from brief email promotions to website space ads to the landing page in a PPC campaign. These can all perform the same function as a traditional printed lift note, and use similar rules when it comes to the copy.

Perhaps you’re wondering why you’d need a lift note if you’ve done your job correctly throughout the main letter. Well, the ability to think strategically about your lift notes and then craft them appropriately is one of the most powerful skills you can have in your arsenal because they help you …

  • Amplify your prospect’s level of attention because they naturally stand out in any direct-response mailing or campaign …
  • Save your prospect time, which often boosts his overall readership …
  • Magnify and reinforce your key points …
  • And, when done properly, increase your response rates!

While other parts of your sales letter — including the guarantee, testimonials, and the offer — lend themselves to a formulaic approach, this is not the optimum way to go when crafting a lift note. Instead, you should think strategically and decide which parts of your overall sales message are most essential to getting your message Read more »

How to Create a Cover Letter that Gets Noticed

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Congratulations! You found the perfect job opportunity, and you’re ready to apply.

You’ve spent hours working on your resume, crossing all the “t’s” and dotting all the “i’s.” You double-checked the grammar and spelling a dozen times.

Yep, it’s ready to submit.

Not so fast! Have you put the same level of care into your cover letter?

As you know, if you’ve spent any time applying for jobs recently, a cover letter allows you to tell the hiring managers in your own words how qualified you are for the job. This goes for all sorts of positions, including full-time jobs and short-term freelance opportunities.

The great news is that, as a writer, you should be a natural at “selling yourself” with words.

The right cover letter gives you a better chance of getting your resume seen.

Hiring managers are very busy and usually receive hundreds of resumes for each job opening. If your cover letter doesn’t grab their attention right away, they won’t even look at your “perfect” resume.

So, what does your cover letter need to stand out?

First of all, keep in mind that many hiring managers typically only read the first paragraph of a cover letter. If they’re not interested at that point, they move on to the next resume.

So just like with a sales letter, the lead of your cover letter has to convince them to keep reading.

I asked a friend of mine, who happens to be a hiring manager, for some more tips on writing the type of cover letter she and her colleagues are looking for. Here’s what she told me:

  1. Make your cover letter a quick read with just the highlights of your qualifications. It should be short — not a copy of your resume. Be clear and to the point. Read more »
