Simple Copywriting Trick

h1 Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Gary Halbert was both a great copywriter and a great teacher of the art. He had a knack for making the process of creating great ads simple.

A great lesson Gary taught was how to use winning advertising and business models. Instead of creating your own from scratch. Pretend you decide to write a special report on horse racing.

What’s the best course of action?

Would it be a good idea to get a degree in a health and fitness field? Would it be a good idea to take years to study the subject? Would it be a good idea to find the best health and fitness product? No. An easier strategy exists to get your hands on the best health and fitness information available. And you won’t have to do all the work on your own.

Rather than doing things the old school way, Gary might tell you to go out and get the best sellers on health and fitness. Take all these books and start reading them. As you do so, write down notes in a notebook. Make sure to extract all the really juicy stuff readers would be hot read about.

Armed with this research you write your version of a health and fitness book. Only this book has all the great info from the other books you read. The exclusive details that bring value to your book. The end product is a book filled with the very best information on health and fitness.

Easy does it best.

Gary also taught that you should do the same thing when writing ads. Especially if you’re in a hurry and need to bang out an ad… website letter… or whatever fast.

The formal name for this strategy is… swiping ads. And it really does make it easier. Back in 1996, Gary taught a little bit about swiping during a seminar in Florida. The main focus of the seminar was on swiping great ads for your own promotions.

You do not have to become a great copywriter to swipe. Learn to do it the right way and a lot of obstacles to creating advertising that works will disappear.

When you do, here’s what’ll happen as a result…

** You’ll eliminate writer’s block forever. Because now youll access a starting point for your ads. You wont be guessing at what to write. The swipes reveal exactly what to write in your ads to make them effective and responsive.

** Ad writing will be much faster. All you do is model your ad after the swipe. Therefore, the guessing element is taken out of the equation. It’s like using a proven template to write your ads.

** The effectiveness of your ad will increase. By using a proven template you boost your chances of writing a winning promotion. That’s why using swipes is such a powerful concept.

The moral of the story is: start swiping.

Cristiano Ronaldo

h1 Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Born February 5, 1985, winger Cristiano Ronaldo of the English Premier League club Manchester United signed a $21.24 million contract in 2003 at the age of 18. In that year he was given his first cap while he played for the Portuguese. Cristiano went to the final of the UEFA Euro in 2004, where he delighted his fans when he scored the first international goal of his career.

Christiano Ronaldo was a big scorer in both the club and international scenes in the 2006-2007 season. His also got his first Premier League title and became that league’s best scorer for the season. The next year, Ronaldo he became the FIFPro World Player of the Year and was honored with the Ballon d’Or award. The young man’s career was heading into the stars already.

Maria Dolores dos Santos Averio and Jose Dinis Averiogave named Christiano “Ronaldo” after then-United States President Ronald Regan–but it wasn’t for his leadership skills, rather it was for his acting skills which made him his father’s favorite actor. Ronaldo also has two older sisters and a younger brother.

Ronaldo began playing for the amateur team C.F. Andorinha when he was just eight years old. Local football club CD Nacional took him in 1995, and for them he played so amazingly well that the Sporting CP club let him play for them for three days and afterward they signed him to a contract for an unknown signing bonus. At Portugal’s Sporting CP, Cristiano attended the Alcochete, a renowned footballer’s academy. He would go on to become the only footballer in history to play for the Sporting CP club’s U-16, U-17, U-18, and B-teams. After much pleading from many of his players and after seeing his talent for himself, Manchester United’s Sir Alex Ferguson signed him to a contract. He became an instant hit with the fans.

The first Portuguese player ever to sign with an English team, Cristiano now found himself backed by a talented club. But, he didn’t want the #7 that was so tied in with David Beckham and Eric Cantona; instead, wanting to be his own man, Cristiano took #23. In a 4-0 win over the Bolton Wanderers that year, Cristiano made his club debut in the 60th minute. Then in October of 2005, Christiano scored United’s 1,000th Premier League goal. Fans gave him the vote to take part in his first-ever FIFPro Special Young Player of the Year awards.

Then in the 2005-2006 season Ronaldo did something that only two footballers, Robbie Fowler and Dennis Bergkamp in the mid-1990s, had ever done before: he won consecutive Barclays Player of the Month awards. Furthermore, Crristiano’s 50th career goal helped Manchester United defeat rivals Manchester City F.C. to take their first Premier League title in four years. Thrilled with him yet again, the fans gave Ronaldo the FIFPro Special Young Player of the Year Award again. But then, fans were not breathing so easy when the Real Madrids began heavily recruiting their Cristiano Ronaldo, so in April of 2006 United responded with a $31 million a year contract, the most they’ve ever payed any player.

The prestigious PFA Players’ Player of the Year, the PFA Fans’ Player of the Year, and the PFA Young Player of the Year awards were taken by Cristiano for the 2006-2007 season. However, Ronaldo has been known to rave up with some antics, and these got him banned for three matches during the 2007-08 season. But, he was allowed to play again after he discussed with his coach no longer letting opposing team players get his ire up. He still wound up scoring a record-setting 35 goals for the season; George Best had 32 in 1967-1968. Ronaldo was made team captain in March of 2008.

After Cristiano looked like he might head to the Real Madrid team, he stayed with United for another year. As he was scoring his 100th and 101st goals in November during United’s 5-0 win against Stroke City, Ronaldo seemed destined for a greatness that most footballers dare not even dream of. Ronaldo capped his season by being awarded the first Manchester United Ballon d’Or award since it was given to George Best in 1968. The incredible Cristiano Ronaldo ended the season with 446 points. The 2008-09 season should se Cristiano wowing his fans all over the planet even more.

How to Buy heart jewelry

Diamonds are not the only best friends of women. In fact, any piece of jewelry is bound to put a smile on any womens face. Sometimes, however, there are certain pieces of jewelry that look extremely spectacular but can be quite disheartening on the part of plus size women for the sole reason that they simply cannot find something the right size. Not anymore! heart jewelry pieces are now available in many jewelry stores found in the mall and over the Internet. If you are looking to purchase your very own heart jewelry, here are a few things you to help you in your search for that perfect heart jewelry piece over the Internet.

Get your measurements

This is especially important if you are purchasing your heart jewelry over the Internet. Since you are unable to fit these jewelry pieces, it would be crucial to know your measurements for to get the perfect fit for necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Even when you purchase plus size earrings, you will need to take the measurement between your earlobe and your shoulder. This is to ensure that whatever heart jewelry piece you will be getting, this would provide you the perfect fit which would give you the flattering look that you are looking for.

Know what you want

With so many designs and styles to choose from, it is important to know what particular style you would want when looking for a heart jewelry piece. heart jewelry designs range from the simple and classic to the ultra-modern and hip. If you are unsure what you are looking for, you can browse through magazines and websites for the latest trends and styles to give you ideas on what you want. Some of these websites would offer quizzes and self-evaluation tests that would allow you to figure out the kind of style that would suit your lifestyle and overall fashion sense. You can also ask suggestions from the jeweler attending to you for suggestions as well.

Get extensions

Many jewelry shops would often include extensions and extenders as part of the package of their heart jewelry pieces for necklaces and bracelets. Some however sell these separately. It is highly advisable to get a couple of extension clasps and to make sure that you would be able to wear your heart jewelry for a long, long time.

All in moderation

Just like any form of jewelry, heart jewelry pieces should be to accentuate your face and flatter your body. Getting the right size of stones and chains for your heart jewelry would make all the difference. Getting extremely thin chains and small stones can actually work even for plus size women. Just make sure that the size is the right size. You would not want your heart jewelry to highlight things that you would like to hide. The same holds true with accessories with large gemstones. Not all of the designs with humongous gemstones would work well for everyone. A best bet is to try out the heart jewelry piece and judge how it would look. If you are not satisfied or feel awkward about how it looks, look at something else.

Worried About Fungus In Your Lawn?

h1 Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Every lawn gets brown spots here and there; some more visible than others… …but what causes them? Could it be lawn fungus or disease and will it kill your grass? Here are a few simple tips regarding lawn fungus and diseases that can creep into your turf during the later spring and summer.

Frequent rains and humidity coupled with higher temperatures allow for a perfect storm of fungal problems. This is especially true during the months of April, May and June. During these months, your turf is under constant fungal pressure.

You may have already researched the more common lawn fungal problems in your area. Some of these are rust, summer patch, red thread and dollar spot, just to name a few. On a positive note, these common fungal problems rarely cause long term turf damage. Most can be cleared up with a few adjustments to your normal maintenance practices. In addition, you should consult your local turf pro should the fungus problem persist or worsen.

Though we may wish for it, good weather is not always in your lawn’s favor. But you can make weekly adjustments to your own lawn care regimen to counter-act bad weather conditions. Mow your lawn tall and irrigate consistently and deeply. Never water at night and catch clippings when disease is present.

There are also a number of granular fungicides available at your local home and garden center. These will work very well if applied before any sign or fungus or disease occurs. I always recommend homeowners apply fungicides in May and again in late June if warranted. Of course, you should always follow the directions on the product you are applying. If you can’t get to it, hire a lawn pro to do it for you.

It is also a good idea to feed your lawn with plenty of nitrogen during times when lawn fungus pressure is high. Nitrogen helps the lawn grow, thus passing through any disease problems effecting it. If you are stumped by how much nitrogen to apply or what products to you, consult your local lawn care pro for advice.

The final step in ensuring minimum disease pressure in your lawn is to manage the thatch layer. Thatch is the layer of dead grass, leaves and other organic material that all lawns have just above the soil line, right at the grass plants crown.

Thatch is good for lawns when in proper proportion. A good thatch layer will shade the grass roots during the hot summer and also help control evaporation of water in the soil. However, a thick thatch layer will act as a breeding ground for disease and fungus. I recommend if your thatch layer is thicker than half-inch, you have your lawn aerated immediately.

Aeration is a mechanical process whereby cores of soil are removed from the lawn. During this process, holes are punched in the thatch layer, effectively reducing it without complete elimination. Your lawn care pro can aerate your lawn at any time during the year, as long as the machine can pull a good plug. This is typically in the spring and fall. If you are unable aerate your lawn and your thatch layer is very thick and spongy, it’s time to buy a rake and get to work! I never recommend power raking for a thatch problem unless it is severe.

Whatever you do, dont panic if you see a few brown spots popping up in your lawn. Turf grass is very forgiving and tends to recover from most anything. Lawn care doesnt have to be stressful. Just be sure to do your part with the mowing and watering and your lawn will stand up straight tall and green all year long.

The Cost of Winning

h1 Saturday, January 31st, 2009

We teach our kids early on the importance of team sports in their lives. By the age of 5 most children a involved in a team sport or group activity. Mom, dad, I am sure you proudly recall watching your first born playing soccer at the age of 5. The rules are simple. Everyone plays and nobody loses. Funny how the game always seems to end in a tie. Your little guy chases the ball mixed into a cluster with the other children. It’s wild kicking in that cloud of kids. Thank goodness for shin guards! With time and practice your child continues to improve and quickly develops some real athletic talent.

He or she continues to work hard to develop those athletic skills. You pay for the private instuction and make the commitment to practice and play 5 days a week or more. That hard work pay off as he and his teammates win league games, tournments and move on to thier sports version of the “World Series”.

As a family, you commit to raise the money to make your child’s “World Series” deam a reality. You sell hotdogs, wash cars, and seek sponsors. Your friends , family and community rally around you, contributing to the cause. You have raised the funds…the team will have their opportunity to play.

As you arrive to your “World Series” you are immediately struck by the athletic ability of the opposing teams. It is then that you find out that this tournment allows teams to pick up “stud” players. To stay competitive with the other teams your coach feels he must do the same. The result… Your child and many of his teammates sit on the bench.

Who makes these rules and what does it do to your child’s self esteem? What message does it send to your child? “You were good enough to play on our team all season, but you are not good enough to play these kids.” I say come as a team, play as a team, leave as a team!

Go Fish! Omega Fatty Acids

h1 Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Let me start by telling you about lysi. In Iceland where I grew up, this is what I had to drink. It is the fat from the liver of fish. Fortunately, today it is not necessary to drink this to get the benefit.

All I knew is that it was somehow beneficial to me and my health. As an adult, I developed an insatiable curiosity about natural health remedies. So, in addition to my other research, I decided to research the benefits of the fish fat.

Omega Fatty Acids are considered essential but polyunsaturated. So, the body needs them, but cannot produce them. We have to get them in the form of an ingestable.

Fish can supply the omega fatty acids (tuna, herring, salmon). Two servings per week though is the suggested limit as they also contain mercury.

Flaxseed, walnuts, soybean or their oils also contain omega fatty acids. In fact, certain foods like margarine, baby formula and orange juice are now manufactured by adding the fatty acids into them.

Getting omega fatty acids through food is considered the best way to get it. You may however want to consult with your doctor or nutritionist to verify just how much you need.

Supplements are another way to get the essential fatty acids if your diet does not currently supply you with an adequate amount.

Why is all of this really that important? Research proves that developing babies require this.

Research even shows that some heart related problems can be reduced by regular intake of omega fatty acids. Blood pressure can also benefit from this.

Other health problems that can be positively affected by omega fatty acids are depression, rheumatoid artiritis and possibly even certain cancers.

While my Weight Loss Breeze program includes no special dietary requirements, it is very successful if a healthy weight is your goal.
