Let’s Do The Twist

Not only
that... you can even post-date your check or money order by
30-days. If you do this, the publisher promises and guarantees
not to deposit it for at least that amount of time. Then, if
you decide to return the book, the company will send back your
uncashed check or money order with no questions asked. You
can't lose.

To
order, write your name and address and the words "Sell Your
House Fast Book" on a piece of paper and send it with your payment of
$10.00 plus $2.00 shipping and handling (total $12.00) to:

Pathfinder Marketing 5839 Ponce Ct.
San Jose, CA 95120

Your
book will be sent promptly by return mail. If you have
any questions, you can call (415) 858-7583. Checks and money
orders should be made payable to "Pathfinder Marketing" and it
is not a good idea to mail cash.

Thank
you."

Well anyway, whether you order the book or not, I hope what
you've just read has given you some insight into how to write
bullets and ordering instructions. You know, copywriting, when
done well, is extremely easy to read but brutally hard to
write. Writing is, I believe, the hardest job in the world.
Especially if you do it right. And copywriting is
the most difficult form of writing. When you're writing a
novel, a short story or a non-fiction book or article, you can
get away with a little slop.

Not so with copywriting. There... every word... has
to count!

But don't despair, you can learn to do it. And, when you do,
you can work anywhere in the world and the payoff can be
handsome indeed.

I'd like to conclude this issue by telling you a curious
story. Not long ago, an officer from the third largest bank in
the U.S. spent two days in Key West with me trying to get me
to create their advertising. He was flabbergasted when I
refused. He said the bank had ad agencies standing in line
to "pitch" the bank into being allowed to handle their account.
