Other Added - Misconceptions About Copywriters And Sales Letters
Businesses For Sale business works or even hire a copywriter, they will steal all my business ideas, and they will go run and make their own product (that’s almost exactly the same as yours..) and steal from MY business.
Copywriters sell stuff, they don’t have time to go run off and build their own company overnight and compete in the same field you are in. Its just too much to do and not enough time to do it in.Defining one’s business accurately is the real starting point when talking about businesses for sale. It is the prime requisite for selecting the right opportunities and for steering the corporation in the right direction. To make sense out of the multifarious changes taking place in the environment, to understand what is a possible benefit and what could be a hidden threat, a corporation must first understand what business it is in. It must know what its aspirations are, where exactly it would like to reach and what it would like itself to be in the future.Proper definition of the business does bring several benefits to the firm. It reveals to the firm many relevant functions about its functionin Myth 9- They’ll want to steal my business I said it once, I said it twice, I will say it again. Copywriters are in the business of selling stuff, not stealing your idea or your product. Its so much easier to make money being honest and working together instead of working against so only something of an idiot or unethical copywriter (which I sure as hell am not) would want to steal your product and your ideas. Besides think of it this way: Salesmen sell stuff Accountants process the information Delivery man delivers Manager Manages Clerks do Incorporate Church Myth 1-
Hiring a copywriter is expensive
Not true: Depends what you are selling, how many of it and what you negotiate on but that’s not the real issue. Sure, good to pro copywriters are expensive, sometimes they ask for 50% of the sales but consider this:A non-profit association is an incorporated association run with the primary purpose other than to make profit. The not-for-profit associations fall into three categories. Educational institutions and charitable associations for public benefit, trusts for the mutual benefit of the members and religious establishments like churches, religious beneficial programs and religious education. Churches are theological institutions with Jesus Christ as the head. Churches exist for the worship of God. Other activities include proselytizing, i.e. spreading the word of God to others and other charitable works. Churches have many denominations like Catholics, Protestants, etc.By the definition of corporation a If you put a dollar in a machine and get 3,4,5 or 10 dollars back how many times would you do it? If you said “I’d never do it” then you may want to go back to your 9-5 job, and not have anything to do with business. If you said “as much as is humanely possible”, then Ding Ding Ding! You won a million bucks (or more….). With that mindset, you’re bound to do well in business. An investment that pays back many times is a good investment. Myth 2- I can do it myself, copywriters don’t know anything about what I do Well that’s half true and half false. Copywriters may not know necessarily your product, your service or your industry well or at all. However an excellent copywriter (like me…) will know what questions to ask you about your product then turn that into words that sell. Sometimes we are so good at what we do that we end up assuming everyone knows the basics or assume that everyone understands jargon. Happens to everyone and often times people usually have no clue what you may be saying about your product and its features. Copywriters (like me) translate what your product to something that matters for your clients. Myth 3- Copywriters are too much hassle Here’s another question, how much of a hassle and heartbreak is it when your business struggles or goes under and hits bankruptcy? Myth 4- Once copywriters take your money, they run with it That’s somewhat oxymoronic and somewhat difficult to explain. There’s vastly more money to be made for both parties selling your stuff and if you don’t get paid, they don’t. Copywriters (such as I) make money only if you make money. Besides why would they have gone through all that work making your sales piece for a hundred bucks if it took them some 10-20 hours to work on? True, I require small upfront commitment, but it’s a way to ensure both of us are ready to commit to making money, and lots of it. Myth 5- Copywriters are really an “extra” service that aren’t important Correction: You NEED a copywriter or possess copywriting skills if you want your business to grow. Nothing happens without a sale. Its not whether you can afford the commission of the copywriter that’s the question, you can’t afford not to have a quality copywriter. Think of how much money you have tied up in your product or your idea. If it’s not selling it just sits their collecting dust or worse, rotting away while you have to pay for the space, electricity, the capital to even have it built or delivered to you. A percentage of your item’s selling price is a small price to pay to save you 20 times the cost in time, energy, money and your emotional fuel. Myth 6- Selling and sales letters aren’t that important, I’ll just stick it on eBay/someplace else on the web and people will come to it. Another dangerous and fatal belief; remember this: nothing happens without a sale. The most advanced computer system will languish and sit idle sucking up electricity and valued real estate (Office building or your home), the most sophisticated web hosting system, best trained engineers, accountants and lawyers will leave you if you don’t sell – or not offer their services. They don’t do charity. They usually will want all the money upfront. I’ll only ask for a nominal fee to ensure you’re committed and that we’re both in this together. Myth 7- If I tell them how my business works and the secret ways I use things they’ll run off and tell and sell it to the highest bidder or use it themselves! Copywriters sell, not steal ideas. Myth 8- If I tell them how my business works or even hire a copywriter, they will steal all my business ideas, and they will go run and make their own product (that’s almost exactly the same as yours..) and steal from MY business.

Happens to everyone and often times people usually have no clue what you may be saying about your product and its features. Copywriters (like me) translate what your product to something that matters for your clients.It is getting harder and harder today to do anything without the support of others. The world is more complex and specialized. Finding other people to partner and conspire with not only is often more fun, but the results can be better thought out and more successful. If you are looking for inspiration, now may be the perfect time to think about the benefits of collaboration.FISH IN THE SEAWhere do you meet people that might be possible collaboration partners? Think broadly. Take a new look at clients, competitors, people in your business network, other areas in your company, suppliers, those who serve similar clients, even community groups.To help identify the characteristics of your Myth 3- Copywriters are too much hassle Here’s another question, how much of a hassle and heartbreak is it when your business struggles or goes under and hits bankruptcy?

True, I require small upfront commitment, but it’s a way to ensure both of us are ready to commit to making money, and lots of it.It’s the same old story. You don’t spend as much time together as you used to. You’re trying to get that “loving feeling” back, but, as usual, you’ve got too much on your plate. There are leads to follow, faxes to send and business trips to plan. It doesn’t leave room for much else.Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can fall in love all over again – with your business. And doing that means that you’ll be able to spend more time at what you’re really good at – which means you’ll also be making more money! And isn’t that the whole point? But in order to do that, you’re going to need to free up some time.Here are a few tricks:· Put systems in place to save you time.

Don’t undercharge for your services.Many new freelance professionals fall into this trap. They are so anxious to start working as a freelance professional that they charge too little for what they do. Here is why that is a big mistake.First, you only have so many hours in a day, so if you don’t charge enough, then you simply won’t make the kind of money that you are hoping for. You have to realize that it will take you time to produce quality work and you should be paid for that time. Don't sell yourself short. If your client could do the work, they would do it themselves.You also Myth 6- Selling and sales letters aren’t that important, I’ll just stick it on eBay/someplace else on the web and people will come to it.
