Don't Quit
(one the most classic motivational poems)
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Introduce Yourself with a Sound Bite
Rick Frishman
In our busy world, no one has time for the full story--they
want a synopsis, a digest, a capsule that takes only seconds
to deliver, is easy to swallow, and resonates in their minds.
And it must contain everything they need to know. Since
publicity is about getting your message across, brevity is
a must. You must create a short introductory message that will
cut through the din and draw attention to who you are, what
you do, and the benefit it will provide. We call these messages
sound bites.

Traffic Conversion Secrets Finally Revealed!
Dan Lok
People tell me all the time that their websites "don't convert."
(Not sure what "conversion" is? It's that "magical"
transformation that turns a site visitor into a product/service
buyer)
If you're a website owner who's unhappy with the business
your Internet presence is generating, I wouldn't be surprised
if you think your copy is the culprit, too. A lot of people
think that if there's a problem with conversion that the sales
copy must be at fault.
This is WRONG THINKING and potentially fatal to your website

Why Isn't The Belief-Reality Connection Obvious?
