Ultimate Dads Success Ezine 012
Did you ever start a project, set a deadline, and no matter what you did you couldn’t meet the changing deadlines?
I’m a very punctual guy: if going to a business meeting or a date with my wife, I’m there on time and ready.
And when I set up a calendar, I get things done on time.
So you can imagine my frustration when working on my Say It So They Buy It project when I just couldn’t get it finished.
Shopping cart issues. Kept thinking of more things to add to it to give more value. Kept putting myself in the shoes of people just starting out with turning their words into gold and thinking about what THEY’D want in something like this.
But now it’s ready. I won’t say “finished” because I feel that this is just the beginning for this project. I feel a much fuller, highly priced project jumping out of this one. I’m giving away so much for such a low cost as I begin this project, and I feel more being added and turning it into a whopper.
But for NOW… it’s ready. More below, but here’s the link to see what I’ve done – Click Here To See Now!

Why Is English So Illogical?We need to write well so that people understand us. But those writing to US have a really difficult time if not born and raised in the USA, be cause English (and American slang) is really quite difficult. Here’s what the Little Book Of Big Questions says: Our language is a hodge-podge of prefixes, suffixes, and roots from several languages. As a result, we have endless combinations with contradictory meanings. - We drive on parkways and park on driveways. It’s a wonder we communicate at all! From LITTLE BOOK OF BIG QUESTIONS: Answers to Life’s Perplexing Questions by Diana Booher Illustrated by Michelle Allen Publisher: Thomas Nelson, Inc. 2001 If you have a favorite marketing method and will share it with all of us, I'll be sure to include your name and contact information here in our Ezine.

Previous topics include: - I tell people that I’m “on a deadline” so that I won’t be asked to waste time that I should be working toward my goals. - I gave you a tip that I got from Dan Kennedy years ago: Only accept SCHEDULED telephone calls from clients. - I presented something that I’m “famous” for (and the envy of many of my friends stuck in a “job”): my DPS Time – Dreaming, Planning, Scheming. - I told you about SKYPE. - I told you to stay away from TV, radio, newspapers, etc until late in your day – keep your engine running well with positive, uplifting, spiritual or meaningful messages instead. - I suggested that you watch other industries, not just your own. - I said that you should join a local business group to stay in touch with others. - You also read about Setting Up A Blog. - And I urged you to use video in a blog. Today I urge you to start writing. Sales letters, ad copy, postcards, online sales letters and follow up pages. Copy writing can be the most lucrative skill you ever learn. Turning your words into gold is valuable for all of us and it’s something we can do at 18 or 88 (or even more!). We might not be able to climb mountains or dig ditches or even lug heavy camera equipment around when we get older, but WRITING is a skill that can make us money for a LONG time. And online, it’s how we sell. Oh, sure: video works pretty well too… but little beats carefully chosen words to get people to do what we WANT them to do. So study, practice (LOTS of writing is great practice), and see what other successful people are doing and do it too. And then go make lots of money. What do you find toughest about working on your own? Tell us what we can do to help. |

The Way My Daughters Reacted, You’d Think I Suggested PORNO
Social Marketing… is it really working or is it just wasting time?
Proctor and Gamble sure think it’s working.
I blogged about this the other day and you should read it. See the post and the short video about how they have completely changed the way they aimed their marketing at 13 year old girls who are beginning to need their feminine products.
My daughters really teased me about my headline which made it sound (to them) that we are targeting 13 year old girls. Well… I’M not but P&G has made a science of it and you should discover what they did.
