			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What I&#8217;m about to share with you is a secret so juicy that most copywriters don&#8217;t dare let it out to the public because it could put them out of business. It took me about four years to refine this technique and now I&#8217;m ready to spill the beans to you. This one hidden technique alone can forever change how you write emails, sales copy, direct mail&#8230;in fact anything you need to write so you get more leads and convert those leads to sales.</p>
<p>I figured it out the hard way &#8211; struggling for years making lots of mistakes in my copywriting. I don&#8217;t remember the exact moment this technique revealed itself to me&#8230;but I use it all the time now. Last week I shared the secret for the first time to a good friend&#8230;</p>
<p>We were sitting at an elite golf club here in South Florida. She was complaining how everything in her business was taking off beautifully&#8230;.except for one thing&#8230; She HATED writing copy.</p>
<p>For her writing copy was like walking on a wet carpet with socks on.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not like she can outsource copywriting so easily. The good copywriters charge as much for one sales letter as a used Cadillac (or two!) (And good luck trying to find someone who&#8217;s reasonably priced and still an effective copywriter.) There&#8217;s no avoiding the fact &#8211; if you want to succeed in business you must write great copy. I leaned closer to her, &#8220;Do you want to know the secret to writing great copy that has your personality AND that works AND that you can write in a fraction of the time?&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;d better tell me!&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Okay&#8230;here&#8217;s what to do: There&#8217;s two parts to this technique &#8211; Swiping and Infusing. The first part is swiping&#8230;</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>Part 1 &#8211; Swipe the Structure of Master Copywriters</p>
<p>Bookmark the sales copy of master copywriters: John Carlton, Dan Kennedy, Ali Brown, Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero, etc. Get on their lists and keep all their emails. When it&#8217;s time for you to write your sales letter or email simply follow their STRUCTURE. When they establish credibility, you establish credibility. When they agitate, you agitate. Go down the line and imitate the architecture of their letter or email.</p>
<p>Look &#8211; it&#8217;s called COPYwriting for a reason!</p>
<p>Now let me be clear&#8230;don&#8217;t copy them exactly! That&#8217;s plagiarism. It&#8217;s not cool and will get you in trouble. AND you don&#8217;t have to copy them exactly &#8211; this is where the second part of my technique comes in&#8230;</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>Part 2 &#8211; Infuse Your Personality in Your Writing</p>
<p>Follow the layout of great copy from the masters&#8230;but don&#8217;t copy their style. It&#8217;s their style &#8211; not yours. Instead, look at what they wrote and ask yourself, &#8220;If I was sitting at a coffee shop with a potential client, how would I say the same thing in my own language?&#8221;</p>
<p>The secret is to write like you talk.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re excited about something, how do you talk? Do you have a certain rhythm to your speech? A special flow? THAT&#8217;S what you want to capture in words &#8211; while sticking to the structure of the masters.</p>
<p>This may take some practice&#8230;</p>
<p>The biggest mistake I see entrepreneurs make when trying to write copy is they think they have to sound important. It&#8217;s like they put on a Napoleon hat that says &#8220;Doing Official Business.&#8221; No, no, no. That&#8217;s not it at all. You want to write like you talk to your best friends.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s an art to writing like you talk. It&#8217;s still crafted writing. Look at Hemingway. The trick is writing like you talk and then editing like crazy. The best book on the subject is &#8220;On Writing Well&#8221;" by William Zinsser. (This book changed my life. In college I spent weeks laboring over a simple essay. After I read this book I can now write pages and pages with ease and grace.)</p>
<p>As you get good at this technique you&#8217;ll look forward to writing that next article or email. And your readers will appreciate it because your writing is suddenly interesting. This all translates to a more loyal following and more sales for you. Good luck and have fun with your writing. Make it your own. Make it another form of self-expression and you&#8217;ll be free from ever having to pay ridiculous amounts to a copywriter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always wanted to learn how to write an essay but somehow, I never got the hang of it. I was more into night outs, partying, road trips with friends and just hang out anywhere, anytime. Ever since I found out that professional writers are offering their services online, I have always availed of their services to write my essay. Every time I need their help to write my essay for me, I never get disappointed. They never fail to impress me with how much they take in seriously the job or assignment that you give them. They make you feel like they are concerned of your academic standing too and of course, they are.<br />
Writing a research paper is difficult, that much I know of. That is why, I do not trust anyone else except professional writers who are dedicated and passionate with what they do. Imagine! You need to be knowledgeable of the piece you are writing on and you need to allot most of your time on research to expand your knowledge base about the topic and to think that they have a deadline to beat! They absolutely take the worries off your hands and I am so happy for all their help! There was a time when I felt like the world was tumbling down on me. That time, I needed to make a 3-page research paper on a Science project. I never got to do it because I had so many extra-curricular activities and by the time I got home, I no longer had the strength to do some research an write a few lines on it. Heck, I did not even know how to write a source! Thankfully, my best friend saved me! She knew about a website that got very good reviews from their clients and she recommended it to me. I immediately went online and tried to find myself a writer that could save me form the dump I was in and I was not disappointed! She was more than willing to do the assignment and in fact was so eager to get it started. She made sure that there were updates even before I asked. She asked questions and clarifications and took my advice on which standpoint I wanted my research to take. She understood me and respected each and every decision I made. She was also able to deliver the research paper before the deadline! How amazing is that! Since then, I had no problem with my paperwork anymore.<br />
Because of how amazing her work was, I was motivated to write my essay. I did learn a thing or two from it. I posted my articles online so that professional writers can comment on it and point out on which areas I need to improve on. Although I still seek the help of professional writers to write my essay for me. Learning how to write an essay is a wonderful experience that should not be missed in a person&acute;s student life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Students have to write various types of articles every year and the style of writing is not the same for all the papers. While writing an article for literature or science the characteristics will differ. But there are some characteristics which will be same for all types of papers. In the sub sequent sections we will try to find out the general approach of your custom research paper. </p>
<p>The starting point of a research paper is selecting the topic. While selecting a topic make sure that you in depth knowledge about the topic. Then you should choose a specific problem from that topic and then you need to frame a question or hypothesis whose answer you will try to find through the article.</p>
<p>After selecting the topic, collect relevant sources of data for the project. Before choosing the topic find out whether you can get required data for the topic. Many a times the project has to be abandoned because of the unavailability of the required data.</p>
<p>The research paper format and structure starts with a cover page where you can write the title of the project, the place of the project and the name of your project guide. Next item is the content page. This section works as an index for the whole paper. Abstract for content page is the next item. This page contains brief description about the different sections of the article. Then literature survey is done. This section contains a brief description of different works and their findings in this particular field of study. </p>
<p>The next section is the introduction section. In this section you can tell about the scope, importance and the approach of the paper. Next item in this section is the background study which is followed by the representation of the data. The data part is followed by the analysis section. The next two items are research methodology and the limitations of the study. And last two items are conclusion and the research paper bibliography section.<br />
 Writing a proper article is not that easy. Lot of hard work goes on in writing a quality article. If you find it difficult to write a research paper you can outsource this work to a third party. They can provide best quality material which will be original, tailor made for your purpose and totally error free. </p>
<p>There are various styles of writing a research paper. A research paper can be MLA or APA style. MLA research paper is also known as modern language association style paper. This style is used in liberal arts and humanities subjects. In this style of writing actually English language is the preferred medium. This style helps a lot at the time of referencing. When you follow this style of referencing you can be sure of avoiding the charge of plagiarism. The details of this style of writing can be found in respective handbooks and manuals or guides.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, we covered some of the features of a good magazine query letter. This week, we&#8217;re going to provide a sample of both a good query letter and the query letter from hell:</p>
<p>QUERY FROM HELL</p>
<p>Dear Editor(1):</p>
<p>I have an idea for a story I think you&#8217;d like. I lost a lot of weight on the Banana Diet.(2) I&#8217;d tell you more, but I want you to be surprised when you read the story.(3)</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t done a lot of writing(4), but my sister says I&#8217;m a really good storyteller.(5) I think just about everyone would find my story interesting(6), and I think it would fit well somewhere in your magazine (I don&#8217;t really know where, since I don&#8217;t read it regularly, but I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll find a good spot).(7)</p>
<p>The story is all written, so let me know if you want me to send it to you.(8) I think $400 would be a reasonable price for you to pay.(9)</p>
<p>Yours in writing,(10)<br />
Connie Clueless</p>
<p>(1) Always confirm the editor&#8217;s name &#8211; and gender, if the name is at all ambiguous.</p>
<p>(2) Kudos, but this doesn&#8217;t tell us where you&#8217;re headed with your proposed story.</p>
<p>(3) Don&#8217;t hide the ball &#8211; now&#8217;s the time to spell things out.</p>
<p>(4) Never confess this, even if it&#8217;s true.</p>
<p>(5) Unless your sister is Anna Wintour, nobody cares.</p>
<p>(6) Not true, and shows you are unable or unwilling to specify your market.</p>
<p>(7) Even if you&#8217;re not a regular reader, it&#8217;s poor form to say this. Also, it&#8217;s your job to try to identify a suitable department for your article.</p>
<p>(8) Don&#8217;t write the article until after you get a yes back from the editor.</p>
<p>(9) Similarly, don&#8217;t discuss money until after you get a yes back.</p>
<p>(10) Cheesy and awful. Stick with something safe, like &#8220;Best&#8221; or &#8220;Sincerely.&#8221;</p>
<p>GOOD QUERY</p>
<p>Dear Ms. Jones:</p>
<p>Losing 85 lbs. eating nothing but bananas &#8211; and loving every minute of it? Sounds farfetched, I know, but I did it a year ago and kept every pound of the weight off.(1) I&#8217;d love to tell your readers about my journey in a 650-word(2) article called(3) &#8220;Going Bananas: My Journey From Stocky To Svelte In 22 Days.&#8221;(4) I think it would be perfect for your True Tales department.(5)</p>
<p>&#8220;Going Bananas&#8221; will explain how I stumbled across the Banana Diet, my ups and downs along the way, and why I believe bananas are they key to a slim, healthy life &#8211; particularly for young stay-at-home moms like your readers.(6) I&#8217;ve already got a few experts lined up for this story, including Dr. Sam Impressive of the Mayo Clinic and Dr. Dan Dietitian of Johns Hopkins.(7) Possible sidebars(8) could include quick and easy banana recipes and a short history of everyone&#8217;s favorite tropical fruit.</p>
<p>Might you be interested in this story? I have written about nutrition for several national publications, including Fruit Monthly and From Fat To Fit; some recent clips are enclosed.(9)</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.</p>
<p>Best,<br />
Annabel Ontheball</p>
<p>(1) Attention-grabbing intro.</p>
<p>(2) Good idea to specify approximate article length.</p>
<p>(3) Propose a title, even though it may be changed later in the editorial process.</p>
<p>(4) Now the editor knows where you&#8217;re headed with this idea, and that it will be a first-person account.</p>
<p>(5) Establishes your familiarity with the publication.</p>
<p>(6) Shows you know the reader demographics.</p>
<p>(7) Experts help provide additional credibility; great if you can get a few to agree to talk to you for the article before you write your query.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free samples are a good idea with cookies&#8230;why not with writing?</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a new writer, you probably lack published clips to show to prospective editors &#8211; you know, the people you&#8217;re querying so that you can write for them and, you guessed it, get some published clips. It&#8217;s a vicious cycle.</p>
<p>A natural impulse might be to offer to write for free (in essence, write only for the clip itself), but you should resist this impulse. Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<p>When you write for free, you debase the value of your work. If someone offered you a free car, your first thought would likely be, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong with it?&#8221; Writing is no different &#8211; when something of value is offered for nothing, it immediately becomes less valuable.</p>
<p>Plus, even in your own mind, the value of your work diminishes when you&#8217;re willing to do it for free. And that can undermine your confidence in a big way, even if you think you feel OK about it.</p>
<p>Finally, when you write for free (or nearly free), you screw up the market for other writers. Why should someone be willing to pay them the going rate when you, eager beaver that you are, are willing to do the work for nothing? Right now there are undoubtedly dozens of ads on elance and craigslist offering laughable rates like $2.50 for an 800-word article. Giving them credence by responding to them perpetuates them.</p>
<p>So what, you may reasonably ask, should you do when you&#8217;re a writer in need of clips? Here are three suggestions:</p>
<p>1. Write for free &#8211; for charity. This is an exception to the &#8220;never write for free rule&#8221; &#8211; think of it as pro bono writing. Talk to a local nonprofit and offer your writing services to them for a press release, a newsletter article, or whatever they might need that would also help you out. Tell them the only thing you&#8217;d like in return (in addition to a byline, if appropriate) is their permission to use the finished piece as a clip (and, ideally, someone at the organization as a reference if they&#8217;re happy with your work). You get your clip, you&#8217;ve helped a good cause, and your karma is through the roof. Win-win.</p>
<p>2. Finesse the definition of &#8220;clip.&#8221; Write something great, and offer it to prospective markets as &#8220;a recent sample of my writing.&#8221; This is true; you&#8217;re not saying that it&#8217;s been published when it hasn&#8217;t. They will probably see through this gambit, but if the writing is strong enough, they won&#8217;t care. Everybody has a first job.</p>
<p>3. Write on spec. This is controversial and should be approached on a case-by-case basis. Writing on spec means that you&#8217;re not paid unless your work is accepted for publication. Some writers swear by this tactic; others avoid it like the plague. You need to trust your instincts here &#8211; it&#8217;s not a bad way to break in if you&#8217;re confident that you can do the assignment well, and that there aren&#8217;t scads of other hopefuls writing their hearts out trying to land the same assignment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The idea of the site is to have fun.  There are considerations to take into account as of course, cyber predators may show up on the site and there is no accountability like some other sites have.  Everything is supposed to be anonymous.  When the user is not worried about their handle or account being traced, they are more inclined to open up and be a little wild.  Unfortunately, there are those who will take advantage of such a situation.</p>
<p>A new service available to the Internet generation is Omegle.  This website was created by an eighteen-year-old high school student who has been writing programs for a little while.  Back in March of 2009, Leif K-Brooks of Vermont launched a new service that pairs up people who visit the web site with another stranger.  You don&#8217;t have to create a profile, or user name.  Just click on start a new connection and you are on your way to meeting someone new.  The site promises just that with its slogan, &#8216;talk to strangers!&#8217;</p>
<p>On the site, you can carry on a conversation or disconnect from the conversation at any time.  There is no pressure like one might find on some sites to meet people. K-Brooks believes that the Internet interactions were becoming stagnant and hoped to create a situation where many different people could have access to other different people.  The best way to learn is to learn from someone who knows things different from what you know or has an outlook that may be different from yours.</p>
<p>The idea of the site is to have fun.  There are considerations to take into account as of course, cyber predators may show up on the site and there is no accountability like some other sites have.  Everything is supposed to be anonymous. The interface is very simple and does not have any warning about using the site.</p>
<p>Exercise <a href="http://selectarticles.info/tags/common-sense/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with common sense">common sense</a> when visiting such a sight and you should be fine.  Keep younger people from the site.  The site is aimed at the young adult between ages 18 and 25 who have some Internet <a href="http://selectarticles.info/tags/common-sense/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with common sense">common sense</a>. It takes only seconds to get online with the simplicity of the web design.  In seconds you can be meeting someone new or you might meet someone you know.</p>
<p>Who can tell when you are online today? With people doing everything online today, can meeting a stranger be such a unusual choice to promote on a website? Who knows, you might meet your next best friend, your future spouse, or possibly be subjected to some jerk from some city or town you never heard of.  You won&#8217;t know until you try out the site to see what you think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The online gaming industry is keep growing fast despite the economy difficulties experienced by many other industries. Players of all ages loved computer games from the early Sega times. And for young people born in the 80s or 90s, online games are what they know best and are right up their alley.</p>
<p>For adults, it is a great way to relax and take their mind off the daily problems. Most online game players are adults 25-30 years old and most of them have already been playing computer games since their childhood. They just carry their passion for games to adulthood along with them.</p>
<p>In the early days, online web games used to be slow loading and they were heavily limited by the Internet connection speed. Nowadays though, more and more people have switched to broadband Internet connection, plus many online games are now made using the Adobe Flash technology &#8212; which are much smaller in size while at the same time maintaining the high quality.</p>
<p>Flash is a multimedia platform from Adobe which is used to create vector based computer graphics and animations. Online games made in Flash are often alluring to people of all ages. The learning curve of such a flash game is usually very small, and for some games, which are just new versions of the earlier arcade games, there is no learning curve at all.</p>
<p>Flash games are widespread all over the net, and many webmasters are taking advantage of the fact that people like playing games. Flash games on websites can attract visitors, but also keep them on their site longer. If your visitors find the flash games on your website fun to paly, they would often refer their friends to visit your website. This could in turn increase your website traffic and visitor loyalty.</p>
<p>You can also use Flash games as a way to advertise your service, or even generate ad revenue. People are very weary of clicking on ads and many consciously avoid doing this. To get around this problem &#8212; a lot of advertising these days come in form of a flash game. Advertisements are often display to visitors during the opening of the game as part of the loading process, or at the end of each game level, so to less interfere the player, while also get their attention on the sponsor ads. The CTR (click-thru-ratio) of online ads embed inside flash games are usually 200%-300% higher than a web banner ad.</p>
<p>If you are interested in jumping on the bandwagon in earning money from your flash games, it is very easy to do so. Two of the largest advertising networks for games are MochiAds and GameJacket. They provide you with the code that you can embed in your games and share the ad revenue with you. You can also use flash ad rotation service such as Ad4Flash in your flash games that rotate ads throughout the game, or displays the game sponsor ad as part of the game intro. The more people play your game, the more you earn due to the ads that are displayed to gamers. Earning revenue from flash games has never been easier.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard of these services, you have most certainly heard about Google and their Adwords program. Google has a version of their Adwords program specifically for flash game publishers, so it is worth looking into this as well. However Google will only accept flash games which already generates millions of page views so its not for personal websites.</p>
<p>Some people are professional game developers; others simply have fun making them. Some want to make money from the games, yet others want to promote and spread their work piece. There are many ways people can utilize flash games for different purposes, which together contributes to the growing popularity on online flash games.</p>
<p>Visit our <a rel="nofollow,noindex" href="http://www.a4flashgame.com">flash game template</a> website at http://a4flashgame.com to download flash game templates and custom game samples. Or use our <a rel="nofollow,noindex" href="http://www.ad4flash.com">flash ad rotation service </a>to manage multiple ad networks and sponsors in your flash game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In real life, some of you may not notice how online arcades could give benefits to your children development. At a young age, we should introduce to them, the beauty of this great technology, the internet. This is considered as the most useful tool for education. Everything is here, and as parents you should guide them and watch them. This development refers to a person change in it&#8217;s personality that makes him a more active and socially responsive to her needs as a person.  Not only that it give effects to the person playing it but at the same time to the people around him. Why am I saying that? </p>
<p>Explaining what I am trying to point out, these games could save us from the cost that we could have spent if these online arcades are not involved. Without these easy to reach facilities with the help of the internet of course, we are forced to buy them toys, to the extent that some of these toys were really expensive. Let us just put as an example, dolls for our little girls. We have in the market these popular dolls, Barbie and Bratz. We all know how they are so popular, that little girls actually recognized them so easily. And that makes them aware that, they should be playing those. Good thing that these on line games were on the net, that features these dolls to be played. </p>
<p>And in playing, they can actually feel that they were the one dressing up these cute little dolls. A simulation place where they could use their imaginative skills and talents as well, in making their selected dolls looked more elegant and stunning. More clothes to choose from, accessories and even make-ups. This can help parents spare their wallets from unnecessary spending. </p>
<p>People of all ages, the way they have fun have been changed because of these online arcades. More options to choose, whether you want something that involves imagination, problem solving, or even  skills and speed test. It will just be much cheaper yet more creative. You can have it there. Since it gives you  the options and you could enjoy it without limitations. Just one thing to bear in mind, do it in moderation! </p>
<p>Everything if done excessively could be something that could ruin you, instead of letting you explore it and then later on be used to your expense, you were the one making it hard for yourself. But I guess, it depends on the person involved, if he is really not making used of the learnings he had gain, then all of the benefits that is being shared by these online games were just wasted. Again, as I said there, do it in moderation!</p>
