Great copywriting just got easier It's strange to think that there was a time when only the privileged few could read or write. The rest of us relied on the spoken word. Storytelling was used to pass knowledge on from one generation to the next. Now, most of us are literate and use the written word to gather information and inform our decision making. Increasingly we do this online, with social media and messaging enabling rapid, spontaneous global communication. But rather than freeing us from the need for clear, effective written communication, it actually makes good communication even more important. The less we communicate face to face, the greater the opportunity for misunderstandings. Of course, all writing communicates your message to people you cannot see and may never meet. It means you can influence more widely; it also means you must take care not to make assumptions aboutyour reader, especially those who see your public postings. Successful copywriting is constructed from carefully selected words, each with a clear purpose. It is written to prompt feelings, thoughts or actions. It is clear, concise and at times comforting. It is also comprehensible, even to those not yet confident users of your language. Reading this book, and following the techniques it introduces, will make you a more effective writer. Expertise in grammar is not needed as all the necessary jargon is simply defined and, anyway, some forms of business writing deliberately ignorerules. This book is for people who want to write for results. Each of the seven chapters in Copywriting In A Week covers a different aspect: - Sunday: Focusing your message - Monday: Using layout, pictures and colour to make words memorable - Tuesday: Writing effective letters - Wednesday: Making advertising work for you - Thursday: Communicating clearly with the media - Friday: Preparing promotional print - Saturday: Composing proposals and presentation visuals

His new book, The 16 Word Sales Letter(tm), reveals for the first time the secret to his astonishing success. In split tests, the selling formula Evaldo reveals in his book has won, repeatedly, against ad copy written by the world's top copywriters. When asked at a recent seminar I gave what are the two best books I've ever read on copywriting, my answer was Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz and The 16 Word Sales Letter(tm) by Evaldo Albuquerque." --Caleb O'Dowd, www.roitips.com

Escape from Zoomanity is about one man’s awakening to the reality of the repeatist conditioning that takes place to all human beings. This transformed humanity into the state known as Zoomanity. Escape from Zoomanity is about a moment when man realizes life isn’t what we had expected and offers observations why. The only way to escape is looking back on life and the messages that have been passed on from the natural laws of creation itself. Once these laws of change are discovered there is no turning back, this leads to the Zooman returning to his humanity and his eventual escape from their own Zoomanity.

From aspiring to expiring copywriters, this book will help you become a more efficient, more confident creative. In other words, you'll make more money. And friends. It's a little about the creative process and a lot about the craft of writing headlines, with over two hundred example ads. If you're looking for "killer headline formulas that can't fail," "data-driven headline conversion hacks," "SEO secrets (Google doesn't want you to know)," or "can't-miss clickbait headlines," you can find everything you need in a search bar. If you want to learn how to come up with a crap ton of ideas and turn them into headlines that bring personality to your writing, click add to cart. Oh, and as much as the title of this book, A Self-Help Guide for Copywriters, was meant to be a little tongue-in-cheek, it's the only book on creativity in advertising that takes on the subject of creative self-doubt. It will help you whack-a-mole self-doubting thoughts before they can even get a word in. Note: This is also a great resource for people who dislike copywriters. Read this book and soon you'll be able to casually point out flaws in their work, making the fragile copywriter in your life feel even more insecure.
