Later they learned that in Africa illiteracy is high, so companies put pictures on the product labels to show what’s inside. Could I have chosen a more arcane reference?) Recover from mistakes and learn from them. What separates good writers from great writers is that great writers learn from mistakes and become greater.

Some claim that absolutely anyone can become a successful freelance copywriter, even those without writing skills or special expertise. At the very least, you must be an above-average writer with some selling skills and a firm grasp of your specialty. They want your fees, skills, service, knowledge, etc. That’s bunk.

Everyday I take time to study copywriting skills. Since this is the million dollar skill. Lessons Learned from Steve Pavlina Reply Ed Gandia ( @EdGandia ) May 3, 2010 at 10:51 am Excellent post, James! And somehow I had to choose which one to buy – I have no idea of what half the technical jargon is referring to.

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too. I didn’t pay attention to what I’d learned.

We want to learn more about the people we’re going to hire services from. One friend refers you to someone who only has an email address, a generic address like annepottertherapist@mail.com. It does take skillfulness to create a domain that someone hasn’t chosen. when referring to the internet. Yellow Pages story.

In most part, I had a lot of fun reading through applications and learning more about people. Speaking of links, if you have an ugly website with horrible copy that doesn’t reflect your skills, please don’t tell us. People were really excited to have the opportunity to work with us. Kind of flattering. Request, that is.

Reply Catherine Caine ( @CatherineCaine ) January 13, 2010 at 6:20 pm The only addition I’d make to this is that Stephen King always refers to the place he writes as a mental basement instead of an attic. And you took such great effort to dress it up in literary references, to make it palatable to the cleaning-averse among us. (I

But what I tell people are four scenes from the last six months that sum up what I’ve learned better than I can spell it out: Exhibit A: The High Style The man I was listening to spoke with a strong British accent. However, he isn’t stodgy, and his social skills are better than mine. It was awesome, but his story was even better.

Especially if you’ve learned something along the way. But if your goal was to use the month to create something upon which you can build, both in terms of learning curve and raw material, then perhaps it’s better to stop right where you are. Love the six core skills idea. Learn something from the process. I had a blast!

In fact, they seriously lack in professional qualifications, the kind required to be dispassionate and unbiased – essential skills if you truly want to help a person. Many people out there have learned their lessons the hard way, assuming that because it’s for sale, it must be accurate information.

Blog better by interviewing a better blogger Reply John Soares ( @TheJohnSoares ) March 12, 2010 at 9:04 am I think nearly all businesses will benefit from having at least a brochure site that they can refer customers to, and that can bring Internet searchers to them. John Soares´s last blog. That would be offensive, lol.

That means they’ll grasp your razor-sharp message perfectly, learn from it quickly and understand it clearly. You’ll learn more, understand it better and remember it longer. Not quite what you’re referring to here though James. They might even tell their friends about it. Extra reader win. Read it aloud.

Unlike the person who seems mentally permalinked to 1994, I’m constantly learning new things at a tremendous pace, mostly just because I love it. Too many want to turn this critical aspect of their business over to others, without learning even the slightest part of it. What are the learning lessons?

We listened, asked questions, and learned more every time we did. Solomon – I feel that being able to discuss, talk and look at all sides of the coin is a gift, and yet so many people ignore the opportunity to ask questions, go deeper and learn more. I learned something new today. Barbara – It’s funny, eh?

By that, I mean you should experiment and learn new skills. You killed my father.
