Click here: bly.com Summary Do you want to learn how to write a copy that actually sells without the stress? Writing copy isn't supposed to be difficult if you have the right people and techniques for the job. An effective copy can be modeled from something that is already working, rather than original. Robert Bly is a freelance copywriter and author of 100 books. Grab a pen and take down notes as Robert talks about what differs from a copy that's just good from one that works and actually sells. He also shares how you can write your own A-level copy that guarantees engagement and sales! Check out these episode highlights: 02:21 - Robert's ideal client: My ideal client is twofold. Number one, I only work with clients that are direct response or direct marketers that could be online. It could be multi-channel. 03:41 - The problem he helps solve: The standard answer would be getting more sales, more clicks, or conversions. But the problem that clients really have is they tell me I can't get a copy anywhere that's right. 04:55 - The symptoms of the problem: The two symptoms. One is the obvious-- bad numbers. They say, "I ran this Google campaign." "Send it to my landing page." And it's like zero or it's very low! 05:58 - Clients' common mistakes before consulting Robert: Here's what I think a lot of clients quite naturally, and I think it's fine, will inhouse. They have staff or employees who will write their own copy. 07:18 - Robert's Valuable Free Action (VFA): If they want to write better copy and do it themselves, or have someone on their staff do it, that copywriter should keep what we used to call in the good old days, I don't know if you use this today, a "swipe file". 08:58 - Robert's Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Want to learn more on how to write a copy that drives sales?

So how do you- I mean, in New Jersey, you're really close to New York, right? Robert Bly 00:42 Very close to New York. And if there was no traffic, it could literally be a 15-minute drive. But, these days, there's always traffic. Tom Poland 00:51 So is New York like a big brother to New Jersey?

For those who have wondered, this post will explain what I work on and how I function as a “million-dollar writer.” It is my hope this will stimulate you into taking the required steps to earn significantly more income than you do now. After I spell out how I manage to create a million dollars in revenue, I'll give you a simple 3-step roadmap to increase your own income. (By the way, even though I am describing the life of a writer, virtually all of what I'm about to share will work for any freelancer or business owner.)

Like many, I was taught from my earliest years that it is impolite to talk about politics, religion, or money. I routinely violate all three of these directives, however, so this is not new territory for me. Let's begin… I am not writing to boost my own ego. I am writing to answer a very frequently-asked question: “How does a writer make a million dollars?” This is a great question, because the industry income average for freelance writers is just under $5,000 per year. When someone asks me how, as a writer, I make a million dollars, they may not actually express it, but what they really want to know is: “How does a guy who writes ad copy, who has never published a book I've even heard of… how does that guy make a million dollars?” And of course, ultimately, the real question burning in their heart is: “Could I do that? Or even half that?” That's what people really want to know and that's what I want to share with you. Before I get to the tactical stuff like: • How do you get paid?• What are your rates? • How do you get clients? It's imperative that I share 3 Prosperity Principles for Writers. PROSPERITY PRINCIPLE #1: YOU MUST DISCOVER YOURSELF Many writers and other creatives have a not-so-secret fantasy. They labor intensely for years on a masterpiece, hoping that an influential publisher or literary agent will “discover” them, and they'll be catapulted to fame and fortune. That's a nice fantasy, but with one problem: it doesn't happen that way. It never does, or at least almost never. Okay, rarely it happens. But you're more likely to be struck by lightning on the same day you win the Powerball, than you are to be “discovered” in this way. You must discover yourself! You must identify what makes you different, what “special sauce” you add to this common craft (writing) that makes you a distinctly differently voice on a common subject. In what way are you a player with a unique, unduplicable advantage? We spend 3 full days answering this question definitively in our Dreamstorm Workshops, using our Core Thesis Process; obviously, if you don't already know the answer to this question, you'll need to spend some time on it, PROSPERITY PRINCIPLE #2: YOU MUST PROMOTE YOURSELF To succeed, dear Reader, you must realize you are not actually in the “writing business.” You are in the business of You, Incorporated. It is your unique personality, and the fascinating persona you share with the world, that shapes how that world sees you. Done right, this can make you an irresistible character to whom people are attracted as their chosen and trusted authority. Done wrong, this can break the ties between you and your readers. Specifically, instead of promoting and advertising your highly-developed craftsmanship as a writer, you must be in the business of promoting you. You cannot rely on word-of-mouth, or critical acclaim, or impersonal ad campaigns. You must conscientiously promote yourself, and intentionally craft the way customers perceive you. If you have interest in knowing HOW it is I do all this, and want to see the detailed steps I take, let me know your interest in the comment section. Enough interest expressed will generate a new post on this “Implementation” phase. But for now, on to… PROSPERITY PRINCIPLE #3: YOU MUST GET OVER YOURSELF You might be disappointed to learn that your dream of being a purely creative being whose hands are never “sullied” by crass commercialism or “manipulative” marketing are mere fantasy. This may be hard to swallow, but you need to get over yourself in this regard. So, let me get the disappointing stuff out of the way right upfront: 1. This approach may require a readjustment of what you think of as “craft.” The kind of writing I do is very specific: direct response copy. This is copy meant to result in a sale. It's copy that moves the reader to buy. Personally, I find the craft of writing sales copy to be endlessly fascinating and fun. While you may not choose to write sales copy (arguably the most lucrative kind of writing available to the average writer), you may also have to spend a little less time writing poems about the secret lives of elves. 2. My approach is not an “instant income” strategy. This whole system of “writing as a business” has taken me a few years to figure out and build up. I am able to pass on some hard-won lessons (like those in this post), which I believe may considerably shorten your learning curve. You can go faster than I did. But it's still not instant. And I'm constantly learning new things. You and I are very much works in progress. 3. There is more than one way to achieve a million-dollar income as a writer. For instance, there is a writer (whose name you would not recognize) who writes 3-4 books a year and gets paid $300,000 – $400,000 for each book. He's a ghostwriter. You'd be shocked to learn how many New York Times best-selling books with famous names on the covers were actually written by this one ghostwriter. Another writer I know raked in a million dollars last year writing content, white papers, and annual reports for big corporations. As I said, my way is not the only way. But it is worth noting that though the kinds of writing differ, the basic ideas I share here apply to every wealthy writer I know. 4. In my experience, a million-dollar writing business means you're selling more than “just” writing. You will probably find it necessary to offer products and services that are not strictly writing (but which you would not be able to sell without your foundational work as a writer). It's the rare writer who can merely write and cash checks (our ghostwriter friend notwithstanding). I'll dive more deeply into this in the next section. 5. This whole endeavor requires me to use a four-letter word that will shock and offend some people. But I feel the use of this word is required to communicate the force of my argument. The four-letter word is: w-o-r-k. Work! Ya gotta put in the effort! This is a glimpse “behind the curtain,” and you may or may not like what you see. Then again you may find it encouraging to know there is a proven path to prosperity as a writer, and you don't need a fat contract from a big publisher to pull this off. You can simply decide, and then go do it. “The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation; it is only available by labor … the greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. That is when we must learn to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and to reap without apology if the amounts are big … you must either get good at sowing in the spring or begging in the fall. The soil says: don't bring me your need, bring me your seed.” — Jim Rohn HOW I GET PAID The first thing to know is I “fudged” a little on my income – it wasn't really $1 million last year. The actual number is closer to $1.2 million. The second thing to know is I didn't get to keep most of it. Where did it go? A lot of places: • The IRS and the State of Washington got their portions, of course. • Then there are payroll taxes, Social Security, etc. • Employee salaries. • Affiliate commissions. • Vendors and independent contractors. • Other business expenses. • There are the medical expenses related to my little neurological disorder. • Plus we finished paying off all consumer debt, which at its height topped $400,000.(I'm actually embarrassed by this. I learned a lot through the mistakes which landed me in so much debt – perhaps I'll share more about that journey in a future post.) So, you can forget asking me for a loan. I didn't sock a million into the bank. But I'm not complaining – the Edwards household did, and still does, quite well. With all that out of the way… here's where the money actually comes from. How I get paid. Product Sales Product sales are far-and-away our biggest source of revenue. These include high-ticket items ($1,000 and up) sold mostly via PLF-style launches, advertising, purchased solo email campaigns, and organic website traffic. “Day with Ray” Consulting This is where I meet with a single client (or their team). I require this meeting before Private Client Copy Engagement. The “Day With Ray” costs $15,000 if you come to me in Spokane, WA, or $20,000 plus private air charter if I come to you. What do we do in such a meeting? It depends on the client (everyone is different, so there is no template for this). I grill the client for the first hour or so, and generally this will lead to a discovery of the 1-3 most powerful “levers” we can pull in their business to increase revenue and profits, while providing the business owner with less stress and more peace of mind. Private Client Copy Engagement After a long period of protesting that I was no longer writing for clients, I am finally giving in to market demand. I am accepting a very few assignments wherein I personally run the copy project and write the copy. This is prohibitively expensive for the client, and if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Also, I require that all Private Clients pass a rigorous application process, and agree to my admittedly unreasonable demands (100% compliance with my advice, 100% commitment to running my copy as written, 100% commitment to testing and tracking, payment of a percentage of gross sales to be made quarterly, and acceptance of my total lack of availability for “chummy chats,” psychological counseling, and babysitting sessions). I charge a minimum of $150,000 payable up front. Maximum four clients per year, booked well in advance. Royalties These are payments on gross sales of Private Client projects. They also include royalties on co-created projects and revenue share deals. This is becoming a more significant percentage of my company revenue. Please do not contact us looking for me to do your marketing for free and offering me a percentage. I only do these deals when I know the person well, know the company and market well, and when it is my idea. Group Coaching Group coaching has been lacking in my portfolio of services until recently. Experiments thus far show it to be fun and profitable, as well as extraordinarily valuable to participants. These are online groups of up to 20 people at a time, who receive coaching and feedback from me once per week for a finite period (usually 6-12 weeks). Workshops I host a few small group workshops that focus on a single theme or outcome each year. Participants pay a premium fee ($5,000 – $10,000) and must qualify through application. These consist typically of three intense and productive days that can significantly alter the course of the client's business and life for the better. Private Masterminds Small group Mastermind Alliances involve a strict application process, membership requirements, and required compliance to meeting attendance and participation. Affiliate Commissions We generate commissions through the recommendation of products and services we ourselves use. This accounts for about 7% of our company revenue each year, but nearly 18% of our annual profit. Why is it so profitable? All we do is promote the product. We don't actually do any work, creation, or customer support. REIC Membership This is our newest offering. Members receive a printed newsletter each month with my best (and freshest) thinking, a monthly video training, a live Q&A once per month, and more. We are launching this in September 2017. Those methods fairly well sum up how I earn my income. HOW I GET CLIENTS My marketing system is not immediately obvious to most. It is complex, carefully thought out, and rigorously tested. I am constantly experimenting. Every “thing” we do is designed to point to all the other “things” we do. Client Attraction vs. Client Pursuit Client attraction is foundational. Long ago I decided I did not wish to “chase” business, but prefer instead to let business chase me. So, I have carefully designed a ubiquitous system for attracting a steady flow of possible clients and customers from many different streams. This adds up to a large flow of potential business at various levels of engagement and investment, all swimming (upstream if necessary) to me. Some of the “pools” from which I attract business include: • Podcasting. This is one of the most intimate mediums available. Podcast listeners have me literally “in their head” for an hour per week (or more, if they binge-listen… and many do just that from our library of nearly 300 episodes). This is a curiously powerful medium. Numerous customers have listened to 1-3 episodes and proceeded directly to a $5,000 – $10,000 purchase. • YouTube channel. This is a new, experimental marketing tool for me. I have been enjoying playing around with the possibilities, and have now settled on a strategy going forward. Look for a slight shift in focus on my YouTube channel in the coming weeks. The goal, as with all third-party media, is to move people off third-party properties like YouTube (and Facebook, and Twitter, etc.) and onto my email list. • Social media. While many claim direct money making power through social media, my approach is to use it to attract and build a bond and relationship with my tribe, and then move them from social media to the media I own, i.e., my email list. • Printed newsletter. Already mentioned once, this is not only a product but also a marketing tool. Since the largest primary segment of my audience is made up of writers (meaning, presumably, they're also readers), having a print newsletter is vitally important. Print media carries more impact than electronic media. This is not something I'm guessing at. According to this Millward Brown study, brain scans demonstrated the same message presented to the human subject printed on paper lights up more areas of the brain than the electronic equivalent. More areas of the brain lighting up equals more engagement. • Speaking. This is a way that I accomplish a number of objectives: for instance, I like to travel. I want to travel to exotic places. So, I have a speaking engagement next month in Hong Kong, primarily because I've never been there. This will also afford me the opportunity, as do all speaking engagements, to establish personal contact with a new group of people, perhaps add them to my mailing list, and maybe generate a few clients along the way. Speaking automatically grants you a certain amount of gravitas and authority. As far as generating clients, this is an indirect benefit of speaking. I do not hock or pitch my services from the stage. I do, however, strategically communicate that I am available to be hired by the right people, and that I have products available for people who are not ready to hire me. Perhaps I'll write more about this at a later time. • Books. Both physical and Kindle versions of my books are available. I currently have three books that are relevant to my business as a copywriter and marketer, and by the end of next year I plan to have no less than 10. The current books are How to Write Copy That Sells, Moneywords, and Just Get Started. These books generate a certain kind of prospect or client. They are engineered to do so, and also provide valuable content. And, as with speaking, having a book in hand conveys on the author a certain amount of authority and credibility which cannot be gained in any other way. • Guest posts/appearances. From time to time I guest-post on the blogs of other people. I also appear on other people's podcasts as a guest interview. Once upon a time, I did this indiscriminately and would post or appear anywhere asked. The demands on my time have become so overwhelming I now have to choose more carefully. Each decision whether to appear on a podcast or write a guest post is a tactical decision designed to support my overall business strategy. For more on my thinking about this, see this book with my friend Tom Schwab, Podcast Guest Profits. That, in a nutshell, is how I get new clients. I admit it is condensed and leaves out a lot of details. The subject deserves a book of its own. The above will get you started and will have to do until I write that book. HOW I RUN MY WRITING BUSINESS This is not an exhaustive description of methodologies and practices for running a business, but a brief overview of some key principles that I believe help keep my business lean and growing. Minimal staff. Once upon a time, I wanted no staff at all. This came after having been responsible for hundreds of people in my corporate position in radio broadcasting. But I finally realized I was limiting my growth by not hiring employees for my personal writing business. So now we have a few full-time employees and a number of independent contractors. We try to keep the staff as minimal as possible, but no smaller than needed. I have seen more than one friend destroy their own business by over-hiring. I'm determined not to make this mistake. Remote workers. Rather than limit my pool of prospective employees to people who live in my hometown, we simply look for the best people for the job. This means we have hired staff from all over the place. In the US, we have workers on our team in Tennessee, Colorado, California, and elsewhere. For more on how to orchestrate a remote workforce (because there are some unique challenges), I highly recommend the book Remote: Office Not Required, by Jason Fried. Employees vs. Contractors. I am not offering legal, accounting, or other professional advice. You should seek the services of a qualified professional to answer those questions. I can tell you that in my experience there is a difference between an employee and contractor in terms of mental attitude and dedication to the job. This is not to say that contractors don't have a place. In my work as a freelance copywriter, I am, after all, an independent contractor. However, the person who is a full-time employee in your company can devote 100% of their working efforts to you. You must see that makes a difference. I'm not saying one is better than the other; I'm saying there's a place for both. Client Selection. Anytime I'm going to be personally interacting with clients, such as on a copywriting or marketing project, I use a selection process. The prospective client will have to convince me that I want them as a client. This may sound arrogant, but it is not meant to be so. It actually serves all parties concerned. If I do not have good chemistry with the client, if our working styles do not match, or if we have mismatched expectations, that is a recipe for discord and upset. Contentious, negative, or sketchy people do not make the list. And if they do somehow sneak in, once we discover these fatal flaws, they are invited to go elsewhere. Immediately. PRIORITIZING PRODUCTIVITY I place priority on stewarding my most valuable non-renewable resource – time – as if it is treasure. Because it is treasure. Thus productivity gets priority. My Morning Success Ritual. This is vital to my most productive days. While I don't manage to get this all in every day, I'm getting better at it. My goal between is to achieve 95%+ compliance with this ritual every day. The days when I follow this MSR, starting the minute my feet hit the floor out of bed, are invariably my best days (most productive, most joyous, most satisfying). Probably because the most important things were done first – like prayer, reading, meditating, journaling, exercise, etc. And they are done when I'm still in the “NDZ”: No Distraction Zone (meaning no email, no voicemail, no phone calls, etc.) Writing. The first thing I must do each day after my MSR is complete (and after I have showered, driven to the office, etc.) is WRITING. I am primarily a writer. You can always tell who the writers are – they're the ones who are writing. This is my #1 Revenue Producing Activity (RPA). At this point my phone is off, I have still not checked email, not checked voicemail, etc. Still in the NDZ. I write for a large block of time at the beginning of the day — often 4 hours. NOTHING gets to interrupt the writing — including (especially) the clients for whom I may be writing. Fortress of Solitude. This is the most important and perhaps the most controversial piece of advice I can give you. You must construct for yourself a “fortress of solitude”. While I do not pretend to be Superman, I do take inspiration from the Man of Steel's secret hideaway. The Fortress of Solitude is the place Superman goes to be in absolute solitude. A place of silent contemplation. This is the place he goes to think, to learn, to plan, to rejuvenate. Some of the ways in which I've done this are: I never answer incoming business calls. They're always screened, dealt with, and if I really need to speak with the person a call is set for Call Day. I have only one day per month that I make phone appointments (Call Day). I make all phone appointments on that day. If that date cannot work for a person seeking a phone conversation with me, my assistant will schedule them for the next month. I schedule all my interviews on one day per month, grouped together so that I can take care of this task all in a single day. My daily schedule is relatively free from appointments. This creates large blocks of time for me to do what I do best, and what is most important for generating revenue in my business: writing, creating content, and recording (either audio or video). For more details on why I resort to these extreme measures, please see No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs, by Dan Kennedy. Rest. In order to deliver the very best work to my clients and partners, and to still leave room in my schedule for rejuvenation (sleep, family time, time with God, and time to just plain relax)… I have to guard my time vigorously. And I have to be on guard against what Dan Kennedy calls “Time Vampires”. They will suck the life out of you. I Don't Check Email, and I Only Get One Email Each Day. My auto-check feature in Apple Mail is turned OFF. I only get email when I press the “Check Mail” button. I check it once per day, Monday thru Thursday. Usually around 4 pm Pacific. All my email is screened by my assistant, who compiles the relatively few messages I must read or respond to. She sends those to me in a single email at the end of each day. This is one of my policies that tends to be unpopular with those who are “urgency addicts”, and who want me to have a constant email discussion about all manner of things with them. I refuse to sacrifice my highest valued commodity (time) for the sake of what usually amounts to trivia. I suggest you adopt the same policy. I Avoid Meetings Like the Plague They Are. Any meeting that lasts longer than 15 minutes is probably too long. Not always, but most of the time. Any project that requires multiple meetings each week is probably in trouble. Long meetings = inefficiency at best, and postponement of the inevitable at worst. (As a sidebar: frequent short meetings are just a disguised way of having long meetings. HEAR ME: if you have “meeting-itis”, either you just want an excuse to talk about work instead of doing it, or something is wrong with the project … something another meeting won't solve). Phone Meetings / Conversations. Same as in person meetings, only worse. Conversations and phone meetings should be 15 minutes or less and have a predetermined purpose and ending time. These all take place on aforementioned Call Day. Instant Messenger. Any Flavor. (I'm looking at you, Slack). Just say no. The only time I use it is when I have SCHEDULED events on Skype or Zoom (usually interviews). I am NEVER “just available” to be interrupted. (If I was, that would mean that I was either doing something unimportant or that I was doing NOTHING. If I'm doing something unimportant… WHY? And if I'm doing NOTHING, it's a PLANNED nothing and it's important that this not be interrupted!). I HATE TEXT MESSAGES. The end. Office Hours. Yes, I have an office outside my home. I lease currently. I'm considering buying an office building. I keep regular business hours most of the time: Mon – Thurs, 8 am – 5 pm Pacific. By the way, my office phone is answered by a LIVE HUMAN (not some stupid voicemail torture device) Monday – Saturday, 8 am – 6 pm Pacific time. Why do I have the phone covered even when I am out of the office? Because other members of my team keep different hours… and because emergencies DO happen, and I like to be available if a TRUE emergency arises. My phone team knows how to reach me in those cases. WHY THE EMPHASIS ON NOT BEING INTERRUPTED? Interruptions cost you dearly. As a writer, I know that allowing myself to be interrupted by a client or vendor (“Hey Ray – got a minute to talk about the new logo?”) can seem harmless… but it isn't. That interruption costs me (a) the state of “flow” I was in while working, maybe impossible to recover, (b) the time of the interruption itself, and (c) the time it takes me to get back into the “zone” with what I was working on… minimum 20 minutes, maybe longer. I can't afford to let that happen. My clients and customers can't afford for me to let that happen. I once had a client who loved to call me at 11 pm at night and talk for two hours. I tried to tell him I worked set hours and was available at those times, but he didn't seem to understand. When our first project was finished, I fired him. His dysfunction did not automatically become my problem. Be warned – people will WASTE your time if you let them. Will you let them? Be polite, be loving… but don't be a victim. In the end, if you guard your time, you are being most respectful of other people. Think about it: if you allow yourself to be interrupted, or your time wasted when you should have been doing something else… who suffers? Your clients. Your customers. Your family (“Sorry honey, I have to stay late because I wasted 2 hours today listening to the web team make excuses…”). You're not serving anyone by being a poor steward of your time. WHAT TO DO NEXT Here's the 3-step plan I promised you to help increase your own income. It's quite simple: 1. Choose just one of the practices I listed above – the one that excites you the most. 2. Put that practice to work in your own business, and use it until it begins to produce results. 3. Now pick a new practice, add it to your daily/weekly/monthly routine, and repeat the process. (Don't stop doing the new “thing” you started in Step 1. Keep doing all the activities, and as you add them one by one, you will likely see a corresponding surge in income. I am not promising you any income results, just sharing what has worked for me. Your mileage may vary.) If this post has struck a chord with you, please let me know in the comments, and ask any specific questions you have. I'll endeavor to answer as transparently as possible. Finally, if you did find this post useful, I pray that you put it into action. So, here's my question for you: What ideas from this post will you implement and what results do you hope to see?

The pandemic has forced tens of thousands of small businesses to close their doors. Now, in the midst of our recovery, another term from the history books threatens to manifest itself in the present day - world war. I pray we find a more productive way to solve the world's problems. Outside of prayer, I have no influence over what is to come; however, I believe that in the aftermath of whatever occurs, the economic recovery will largely be in the hands of you and me...The entrepreneurs. I have a message for my fellow entrepreneurs: Now is not the time to quit. It's time for us to step up. This week, I'm sharing some ideas and recommending a few books that support that theory.

Do you think it's wrong to make money? Have you been taught that those who prosper financially must have done something wrong or evil? Ray Edwards believes that we were all meant to prosper. For some our prosperity is a spiritual abundance that is accompanied by a vow of poverty. Most of us are called to greater prosperity than we've dreamed, but we're afraid to pursue it because of faulty beliefs. Introducing Ray Edwards While I ultimately realized it wasn't my calling to awaken the church out of economic lethargy, I'm happy to say that Ray Edwards is joining his voice with the likes of Dave Ramsey to call the church to prosper so that we might be a blessing to the world. Ray's new book, PermissiontoProsper.com, serves as a clarion call to all believers to shed our debt and embrace our God-given mandate to be fruitful and multiply. Ray Edwards is a Communications Strategist, Copywriter, and the author of How to Write Copy That Sells. His podcast, The Ray Edwards Show, is consistently one of the top-ranked shows on iTunes and has been downloaded over 1 million times. Ray has worked on copy and marketing with some of the most powerful voices in leadership and business. He's helped generate an estimated $300 million in revenue for clients like Tony Robbins, Michael Hyatt, Dan Miller, Jeff Goins, Jack Canfield, Frank Kern... and many more. He's been featured on Forbes.com, SocialMediaExaminer.com, and Entrepreneur.com. Ray was also the very first guest on the Man in the Pew show. Click here to hear that interview.

"Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, but cash is life." As a business owner, nothing could be more true...According to the US Department of Labor and Statistics, the number one reason 95% of businesses close their doors is quite simply running out of money. In this week's podcast, I'll give you seven ways to create steady cash flow. Spiritual Foundations “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.’ Luke 14:28-30 If a business leader wants to get new clients, or sees a possibility of financial “boom times”, there’s the temptation to promise more, offer more, deliver more, overcommit, over SPEND, etc. Then if things don’t go exactly as planned, paying the price becomes a bigger drain on resources, staff time and more. Maybe more than you can handle. Many a business has gone under because of this very phenomena. Jesus’s wisdom works for every part of life, so the question is - The next time you have a big business decision to make, or even a small one… will you hope that you escape paying the price, or will you follow Jesus and count the cost? Entrepreneurial Spotlight This week, we're inviting you to cast the spotlight on an entrepreneur with an innovative idea or inspiring story (and yes...it can be you). We see and hear daily reminders of businesses that have failed in this economy. All of us need to remember that millions of entrepreneurs around the globe are thriving in spite of the challenges brought by this pandemic. Help us spread the good word! Send your Entrepreneurial Spotlight suggestion to support@rayedwards.com and we may feature them in a future episode. Tip of the Week My tip of the week is a very timely and powerful book by my friend, Michael Hyatt. Michael is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author and his latest book, Entrepreneurs Will Save the World, definitely deserves a spot in your library. Not only is this a small investment ($17.99), but it comes with $164 in bonuses: Audio book version of Entrepreneurs Will Save the World ($24.99 value) The complete "Mindset Advantage" video series ($99 value) Employee to Entrepreneur Handbook: How to Have an Entrepreneurial Mindset in Your 9-5 ($29.99 value) 8 Traits Printables - Keep the 8 traits of the entrepreneurial mindset visible on your office wall or desktop ($9.99 value) The book is officially shipping as of today (10/19/20) and you can order it here: https://entrepreneurswillsavetheworld.com/ 7 Ways Copywriting Creates Consistent Cashflow Copywriting is more than sales letters. These are 7 ways that your copy can keep the cash flowing: 1. Increase New Customer Count 2. Increase Dollars Per Transaction 3. Increase Frequency of Transaction 4. Increase Lifetime of Client 5. Increase Referrals 6. Increase Leverage (ability to innovate and scale) 7.

Even if you don’t think of yourself as a marketer, you still have to market your business. Marketing comes in many forms, but pretty much all great marketing involves having great copy. As today’s guest told me, being more mindful in how you write and present your copy will make all the difference and set your brand apart from the others. Ray Edwards is a communications strategist, copywriter, and author of How to Write Copy That Sells. His podcast, The Ray Edwards Show, is consistently one of the top-rated podcasts in iTunes. He’s been featured in numerous prestigious publications such as Forbes.com. Ray doesn’t write as much as he used to. Now he mostly helps others learn to write amazing copy. Ray and I sit down over a cup of coffee to discuss the importance of having outstanding copy if you intend to sell anything. Weaving his own amazing life story (like why he bought a cafe in Spokane) Ray explains how effective copywriting and marketing can be a force for positive change for your business and the world around you. This is an honest and candid conversation in which Ray lays it all out, including a life-altering diagnosis, his personal core beliefs as to the true power of storytelling, and how you can make your brand more authentic and human in order to truly improve not just your business, but those you serve as well. How can you use marketing to authentically connect with your customers? Share your ideas in the comments! Learn about the upcoming free Studio Sherpas training! In this episode What Ray discovered on his professional journey from radio to copywriting to coaching The policies that Ray has in place in his company that make it a super supportive workplace (and make his lawyer cringe) How a devastating diagnosis helped Ray focus on what’s really important in his business Identifying who you are and what you want so that you can better find your ideal customers Video’s power to humanize a brand, improve people’s lives, and make meaningful change How to convey that you care about people through your marketing Quotes “I write words that get people to change. They change either what they’re thinking about a subject, what they believe, the actions they take, the kind of life they live, what they buy, what products or services they want to invest in.” [6:32] “One thing you don’t always get to decide is what your story is going to be. You get to decide what it means, I believe that.” [27:27] “Stories are ways for us to see ourselves from the outside -- to understand why we do what we do and what we need to do to change. That’s what marketing is.” [36:44] “If you can figure out who the people like you are and what the stuff is that people like you do, you will never want for customers and for revenue. They will always come to find you.” [38:08] “If you get the words right, the music right, the images correct; you get all that together, it’s like a symphony for all your senses and awakens the stuff inside you that you didn’t know was still there -- the dreams, the aspirations, the pain that you need answered. There’s no medium more powerful than well-crafted film to evoke all those emotions and change in people.” [40:00] “You’re in business to solve other people’s problems. Get clear about what problem you solve. Get clear about how it hurts the person you’re helping.” [45:03] Links Get How to Write Copy That Sells for free!

Today’s episode features an incredibly important person in the online marketing world, and also in my life. I am so excited for you all to hear from Ray Edwards, a world renowned copywriter and my friend, mentor and stand-in father figure. Ray joins us today to share how copywriting can grow your business, and also to get real about his diagnosis with Parkinson’s, pivoting out of a dying industry, and believing the universe is FOR you. Ray has written copy for some of the best mentors of our time, including Jack Canfield, Tony Robbins and Jeff Walker. His words are estimated to have generated more than $100 million in sales. Ray is also an accomplished speaker, author of several books, including “How to Write Copy That Sells” and host of “The Ray Edwards Show.” In this episode, you’ll hear about how Ray pivoted out of his 30-year career in radio when mp3 players and iPods hit the market — a move that was risky in the eyes of his peers. He then turned to writing, a skill he had honed in radio, to serve online marketers. Ray speaks to his motivation for pressing into his career, rather than opting out, after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, his “awakening” moment. While he struggled with finding his path for a long time, Ray believes we can change our mind if we don’t like the calling we picked. “There are many paths you can go down, and you can go down any of them,” he says. In addition to opening up about why he believes life happens FOR you, Ray shares why he believes life is abundant. He says that in life, “we find what we go looking for.” And in keeping a promise to listeners, Ray answers questions about what made him an incredible copywriter.

You'll do better when you know better. Would it help you to have a mentor who can cut your learning curve by sharing their mistakes with you so you could avoid them? Would it help you to talk to that mentor and learn how they shifted their mindset to allow success to happen in the first place?

The best brands are the ones that humanize themselves and connect to their audience to tell them a meaningful message. If we can resonate with people’s stories and struggles then we won’t only connect, but also grow ourselves. Few people understand this better than Ray Edwards. As a communications strategist, copywriter, and author of How to Write Copy That Sells, Ray knows a thing or two about how to connect with an audience. He doesn’t write as much as he used to. Now Ray mostly helps others learn to write great copy. Ray is a good friend of mine and has been a huge inspiration to me and my business throughout the years. In this episode, we sit down over coffee as Ray tells his story of how he got into copywriting in the first place. At his company, Ray has some great policies aimed at respecting and supporting his employees. Ray also talks about his diagnosis with Parkinson's and the path it took him on to choose what his life story truly means. I also had to ask him the story of why he is now the proud owner of a (profitable!) coffee shop in Spokane. Ray goes on to share his core beliefs about marketing and how it should work as a force to better people’s lives. This involves truly humanizing your brand and meaningfully connecting with your best audience. How does your marketing strive to put people first? Tell me about it in the comments! In this episode: Ray’s journey from radio to to copywriting Just why Ray owns a coffee shop and what it has taught him The policies that Ray has in place in his company that make it a super supportive workplace (and make his lawyer cringe) How a devastating diagnosis helped lead Ray to make a crucial life decision Marketing as a way to humanize a brand and actually improve people’s lives Simple advice on how you can grow your business while still keeping people first Quotes: “I write words that get people to change. They change either what they’re thinking about a subject, what they believe, the actions they take, the kind of life they live, what they buy, what products or services they want to invest in.” [3:01] “People, if you treat them well will treat you well. That’s what I’ve discovered.”[17:25] “The first project is ourselves. We got to take a stark look at ourselves and ask, ‘in what way am I contributing to the problems I’m experiencing?’ That’s a hard thing to do sometimes.” [19:06] “One thing you don’t always get to decide is what your story is going to be. You get to decide what it means, I believe that.” [23:55] “I used to think that marketing was a bag of tricks you used to get people’s money. And for a lot of people, that’s exactly what it is. And I don’t believe that anymore. I believe that real marketing is something we do for people. We do it as a service to them, to make their lives better whether they buy from us or not.” [32:00] Links: Struggling to tell your brand story? Pick up our quick start guide here!

Words help a business create magic. Get past the boring business language we have become accustomed to. Words help you get to someone's heart by getting to their brain first. Even when it comes to Disney, without the words magic would not happen. Words are used in movies, of course. But Disney also uses words to connect to guests. Disney uses words to even build a better experience for employees. And the best example of this is we don't use the words employees. We call them cast members. This simple shift in words helps employees understand their role. Words are powerful. Words are used to shape experiences and emotions. Used properly, words can influence our behavior. You don't have to be Disney to create magic with words. Any organization can put the right words in the right places to create magic. When you can put yourself in the position of the customer, you can begin to find the right words. Rather than say what you want to say, say what the customer wants to hear. Ray Edwards joins us on this episode of Creating Disney Magic to talk about how to create magic with words. Ray Edwards has written copy for Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Jeff Walker, and many other well-known business personalities. You can get started using words more effectively with Ray's book, How to Write Copy That Sells.

It’s truly exciting and brimming with aha moments. Have you been struggling to define your brand’s message and your ideal client? What's seems to be the sticking point for you? Leave a comment on the episode page! In this episode Why identifying your target audience is perhaps the most crucial part of building your brand The reasons why looking to your past clients is much more profitable than searching for new ones Why your clients don’t need to be in the same industry or in even remotely similar types of business Why a having a clear message is so much more important than a cool tagline The importance of creating a sales funnel that ends in landing clients who know that you can solve their problems The reasons why having good copywriting is essential to getting your ideal client and growing your business Quotes “Everyone is talking about the next best camera or thinking that that will solve all these problems. But your customers don’t even know about the next best camera or care…. That doesn’t solve their problems at all. Actually, that’s the greatest way to divebomb your profitability.” [10:07] -17:46 “In a business matrix, new products and new customers are the most dangerous places to be because you have no data on them. So when we’re talking about customers, old customers with products you’ve made, are the safest place, because you know how long the projects take, you know how much was invested in them, you also know why they came to you, what problems they have, how you solved those problems.” [14:25] “If you can resonate with how someone is feeling about a problem and talk about that in a way using language in a video or copy that is exactly like how they are thinking, then their brain literally goes ‘Oh my goodness! They’re speaking exactly what I’m thinking. They must have a solution for me.’ When you follow that up with a solution to their problem they go, ‘I have to buy this. Please take my money!” [36:32] Links Schedule a call with Mark Get Marks free ebook and questionnaire Follow Mark on Facebook | Youtube | Linkedin Building a StoryBrand by Don Miller How to Write Copy That Sells by Ray Edwards SSP 082: The Truth About How To Build An Effective Brand Check out the full show notes page Stay up to date with everything we're doing at Studio Sherpas Tune into our weekly Facebook Lives Follow Studio Sherpas on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram If you haven't already, we'd love it if you would take 1 minute to leave us a review on iTunes!

In your book, How to Write Copy That Sells, you refer to the “magic building blocks” of sales copy. What are those blocks, and how do we use them? Recently, you introduced the term called “Distributed Sales Messaging”. What is that all about, and why is it important? Are there any types of businesses that this “copy-centric” approach will NOT work for? Do Internet “product launches” still work, or has that gravy train already passed us by?

Do you know what the most important skill in business is? Persuasive communication. And persuasive communication is at the heart of great Copywriting. Today, a reading from my forthcoming book, How to Write Copy That Sells. Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Spiritual Foundations How to lead like Jesus. Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.” Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.” Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.” For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.” So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

I first met him when I was still working for Tony Robbins. At the time we were in need of a killer sales letter for a big product we had just created, and Frank Kern, a master at online marketing, suggested we reach out to Ray. As it turns out, hiring Ray to write the sales letter was one of the best decisions we ever made because he nailed it.

You can accomplish this by using bolded headers, bullet points, and so on
