I cracked the Homebased Code for Success

Homebased success codeHello out there Andrew Hawkes here,

I want to let you in on a secret.... I cracked it,  I cracked the homebased business code for success! And the good thing is anyone can do it. Are you ready? Shh.... come a little closer.... here it is 'consistent action, congruent with your vision or why toward the direction of your goal.' That's it. Simple right?

So then if it is so simple why does 95% of the worlds population live week to week and hand to mouth existences. Well I am pretty sure I have worked that out too. I used to think that it was because people were afraid (to a point I still do, just not like before) however now after the last few days working with the very talented Casey Van Liefde and some of the things she shared with me. It is not about being scared, Casey is a very talented Photographer and she really is an entrepreneur, she is happy to look at something at its merit, make a decision about it and then act in total congruency with that decision. This means that Casey has already succeeded here.

So what I came up with and what made me think that it was more than just fear was this, Casey and I had a conversation, we were talking about an opportunity, a very cool opportunity, one that utilises two fortune 500 companies, so companies with a proven track record. For a ridiculously low investment per month (I mean the cost of a cup of coffee each week) they could create a substantial residual monthly income. The catch is that the people that get involved have to actually do some work. I know crazy. Now I have been involved in homebased business for quite a while now and they biggest issue any body had with the opportunity I represented was the investment price.... So here Casey is talking to me about a stupidly low (seriously it should be more for the value you are getting) investment each month, and people are telling her, or rather implying that it was all a bit like hard work. What?

OK, so from that conversation I came to the realisation that people aren't scared... people are just plain lazy, they would rather sit on the couch, drink beer, eat corn chips and stay living in lack than put a little effort in to make a huge difference in their life.

But I guess it is deeper than that right? Yes people are lazy, however there is more. People would rather sit back give direction and say I told you so than get in amongst it themselves, and it comes down to one thing, and this one thing is condoned and even practiced by society. Lack of responsibility. It is far easier (see LAZY) to blame someone else for their shitty existence. As I said though in my post about What is Wrong with the World when the government set such a low barrier, it really is easy to be average, or even below average.

So here in summary, the homebased business code for success is pretty simple, follow it (with out detouring from the prescribed method) and you will have astounding success and that is with anything, homebased business, real estate trading, investing ANYTHING.

So what are you waiting for, stop BEing lazy, get off your a*se, stop blaming others for your short comings and become part of the solution as opposed to the problem.

You are that Powerful, Ignite your passion!

Copywriting Tips

Within this article today on copywriting tips, we’ll look at how you can acquire more clients as well as improve your writing skills.

Improving these two skills will allow you to have a meteoric rise in the income that you bring in. Many copywriters are very strong in their profession but are not very good at procuring clients. If you are able to sell yourself to potential clients, you’ll never find yourself short of work. The ability to sell yourself is what will set you apart from all the other freelance copywriters out there. You must make sure that you have a portfolio of your best work. Within this portfolio, you’ll want to have a letter explaining your qualifications along with samples of your writing as well as testimonials from your previous jobs. If you are able to e-mail this to your potential clients, this will help set you apart. They can see the professional work you have done in the past as well as the client base that you currently work with. If you are able to reference Fortune 500 companies you have worked with, this will continue to improve your credibility. If you are just starting out in the copywriting field, delete the potential references and replace this with more work that you have done in the past. If you have worked for an advertising agency and are beginning to freelance, make sure to include some the work that you have done at the advertising agency.

Two possible ways that you can acquire clients are to post at different contracting websites such as elance.com or directfreelance.com. You can also research companies who you can potentially see if they need work. If you spend time reading the business section every day, cut out articles that might be within your particular field and keep them in a centralized location. This could be a potential source of leads for you depending upon how the companies are doing and if it is in a predicament where your skills may be needed

If you want to learn more about writing great copy, look into learning more about Dan Kennedy. He is one of the world’s foremost experts on direct selling and reading through his book will give you some insights into how to write great copy. The book that you want to specifically pick up is called “The Ultimate Sales Letter.” This book breaks down the Kennedy system of writing great copy. By taking the time to read through this, you’ll be able to see what he has done to be so successful and he takes the time to look through different examples that you can see what works with in many of these advertisements.

Hopefully this article today on copywriting tips has proven to be beneficial to you. Stephen King was once quoted in Time magazine that writing is similar to working out. When you work out and lift weights, within a period of time, you’ll find yourself becoming much stronger and more muscular. The same can be applied to copywriting. If you continue to develop your skills and write habitually every day, you’ll find yourself becoming a better writer over the course of time. The key behind copywriting tips is that you must apply them.
