From Foe to Friend With One Email

Thursday, March 8, 2007
Fellow Copywriters,

I've been doing some email marketing on a local level -- for a naturopathic clinic. The results have been better than any of my world-wide experiences with selling through emails. It's transformed the relationship she has with many of her patients. Clients she hasn't seen in over 14-20 months are booking and buying supplements.

All was going well until my client received a negative email from a patient who sa~!@ÄÉÊË  ÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓ234234ÔÕÖרÙÚÛÜÝÞßàá â äåæçèéêëìíîïðñò óôõö÷øù úûüýþÿ

Attention Copywriters of Planet Earth,

Greetings from Zeoti, Alpha Centauri Copywriter      Your "regularly scheduled" Reality Copywriting message has been intercepted ÜÝÞß by Zeoti, the Copywriter from Alpha Centauri. I am transmitting this message  ûüýþÿ  as I accelerate away from your planet, after spending many months watching your behaviour on the internet.

     In particular, I’ve been reading all the mail John C. A. Manley has been receiving from Reality Copywriting subscribers.

Much of it is good. Shows signs of an advanced civilisation.

Some of it is ridiculous.

Emails like:

"Please, find me a job online."

"I need to work -- if you pay me I'll do my best."

Oh, you silly humans! Begging and pleading for work is not the way to get anything.

Why should John give you work, because you send a one-line email asking for it? You don't even tell him what the spunko you're going to do for him. You hardly make a case at all. And you expect him to hire you to help him copywrite?!

If you want to get his attention, first, try sending snail mail, not an off-the-cuff email. Secondly, he's busy, so you need to tell him right away why in the Milky Way he should hire you or find you a job.

Then you need to convince him.

If that all seems like too much W-O-R-K then go get your own career in gear instead of trying to leverage off his sweat.

If you want to be a freelance writer, that's means you want to be an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurs CREATE and ATTRACT income, they don't beg and plead for it.

Doesn't matter if you don't have a penny in the bank.

If you don't believe an extraterrestrial like me then check out this FREE (yes FREE -- many of yours’ favourite word, I hear) ebook titled: "The Science of Getting Rich." It describes exactly what you need to do to start making a difference in your life this nanosecond. Get a copy now, read it now, and don't send John anymore one-paragraph emails expecting him to feel sorry for you and hand you over money.

Quite a story, eh? I couldn't believe the response I came up with caused such a transformation -- she went from being an antagonistic prospect to a big supporter.
