How to stop knocking on client's doors, and get them to call you instead!
(Learn why articles do a far superior job of attracting the clients you want--and
how the right articles make you the expert in your field)
Knocking on a client's door is the hardest way to get business - yet we do it all the time
In order to get the client's attention, we send out sales letters; we make presentations; we do
everything we can to try and sell to clients.
The more we try to sell, the higher the client's hackles go up. The more we try to convince; to persuade, the more the client starts avoiding you. Or at the very least, they put off buying from you till much later.
So why do clients put off the purchase?
There are two big reasons. The first reason, is that they don't want to buy at the exact moment that you want to sell. So even if you've just made this wonderful presentation of your product or service, there's a close to zero-response on the client's part. And that's just because they're not ready to buy right away.
The second reason is that the client doesn't really recognise you as an expert. All they can see is someone who's trying to sell something to them. To them you're just another 'sales pitch' coming through the front door.
What you really need is a side-door entry!
Why articles help you sneak in the side door
Articles help you get the client's attention, because articles rarely if ever, try to sell. Articles educate. They give the client the various angles to a concept. And in doing so, clients don't put up a wall.
The more you inform a client about a topic, the more they're interested in getting in touch with you. And not only do they get in touch with you-- but they also choose you (instead of your competition).

Well-written articles are not only vital for your website and newsletter, but can earn you revenue, as well as free publicity. Articles published in offline magazines, can drive hundreds of readers to your business.
And yes, if you write really well, you are actually given a column in a magazine or newspaper or online portal. The above are just some of the magazines that I've written for. And the articles were published in sales, training, marketing, business as well as alpaca magazines :) And this is a small representation of places where our articles have been published.
But hey, the competition can write articles too, right?
Right. They can, and they will. But there's a difference. And that difference lies in the ability to not only attract the client to what you're writing, but to keep the client reading from the start to finish. And then to actually look forward to reading more than ever before. Now you've stopped becoming the 'salesperson they want to avoid', and have become the educator and entertainer.
Entertainer? What's entertainment got to do with article writing?
Everything. Drama is what causes customers to keep reading your words. Think of a movie being rolled out in a word format. Or a series like 'Desperate Housewives,' or '24'.
Each of your articles not only need to educate, but need to take the client on a rollercoaster ride. The biggest mistake most article writers make (actually most amateur writers) is that they believe in just writing words. Words don't create stickiness. Drama does.

"I've signed up for so many newsletters. I'm busy---painfully busy-- so
I'm stingy with my time.
There are only a handful of newsletters I bother to check. Sean D'Souza's
is one of those. Sean's gift to his readers is the way he weaves valuable
lessons into the fabric of entertaining articles."

Presenting:
The Article Writing Home Study Course
Do you stare at a blank screen every
time you have to write something? Does it drive you crazy and then you
just give up in frustration?
Do you figure you're never ever going to write an article? If so,
then this course is just for you. You'll learn how article writing,
or writing for that matter, is a simple science. It's a paint- by-dot system.
By the time you finish the course, you'll have not only learned
how to write an article, but have written one yourself plus have generated
two or three future articles. And as we've seen before, you'll not only be able to write articles, but write articles that keep your customer riveted to your writing.
But there's always the fear...
What if you're not a good writer?
What if you've tried to write before, and gotten so-so results?
What if you have other issues like dyslexia?
Could you still learn to write captivating articles?
Well, let's see what Debbie and Andy have to say:
" I have dyslexia and Irlen syndrome, which is why I have so much difficulty
reading.
Words on a page look like a waterfall to me-- a fuzzy one at that. So I could not see
how an article course was going to help me write."
Our business was just starting to grow, when we hit an almighty hurdle. We realized that
to grow the business further we were going to have to write articles.
Andy did not have the time to do this and, saying he has no imagination at all, it fell to
me (Debbie).
Horror is the only way I can explain how I felt at having to write articles, as I had avoided
reading and writing all my life. At the time of the Article Writing Course I had never (and
I mean never) read any story books, not even at school (I managed to fake it at school by watching
movies etc.).
Reading and writing to me was the worse nightmare ever
We came to realize I have dyslexia and Irlen syndrome, which is why I have so much difficulty reading. Words on a page look like a waterfall to me-- a fuzzy one at that.
So being dropped in at the deep end on this course was a huge thing for me - the hurdle I
faced felt about 20 feet high. And I could not see how an article course was going to help
me write.
How wrong can you be?
The course was interesting, and laid out in simple steps on how to write. At first I could
not do it, or so I thought. With Sean's help, I kept plugging away. At times I
felt like I was hitting my head against a brick wall.
With persistence (and the help of a Dictaphone), out of nowhere the hurdle that was 20 feet
high started to lower. And before I knew it, I was writing articles and rewriting everything
Andy had written previously.
The best thing of all was that I was beginning to enjoy it.
We implemented the course in several ways.
I now have articles published in magazines. I have rewritten our website and adverts, and I've written the intro to our technical book that's
currently being worked on by Andy.
I also use all of the course teachings in every aspect of our lives now. Now I can take a
boring technical subject (we write articles about ignitions for classic bikes), and turn it
into something that everyone can understand and enjoy--which helps educate our customers better.
My confidence in my ability has grown
And I am now communicating with people better than ever. You do not realize how much not being able to write rules your life (it stops you doing things, and holds you back).
I also now read story books, and study the writing styles. Something I never thought
I would be able to do (and enjoy). After this course I am now unstoppable. Nothing is
too hard, and I am seeing the world with different eyes.
For people who say they cannot write, I would say to them: everybody can (no matter what
you think). You just have to find the right teacher, and luckily we found Sean. And you must
trust that you can do anything you put your mind to, because if I can do it, then you can too.
The Article Writing Course is unique in many ways
It's not about writing per se, it's about the structure of writing, the rules and the whys
and wherefores, which to me was a godsend. It made sense, and with a bit of practice is
now easy to do.
I still have trouble with my spelling, but have a wonderful husband Andy, who corrects for
me.
My hurdle at the start was 20 feet high.
It's now non-existent, and I have Sean and the Article Writing Course to thank for that.
Thank you, Sean.

This article writing course is designed to do the following:

1) Enable you to write faster than ever before.
2) Reduce the frustration of never getting past the first line.
3) Create content that is so captivating that customers consider you the expert.
We use a simple system
to achieve the above
1) Deconstruction
2) Reconstruction
In deconstruction, you'll take apart articles and other forms of copy. You'll see why the best writers
in the world, became who they are, and what systems they used to persuade
their audiences.
In construction, you'll learn exactly what strategies
and tactics you need to create text that moves people to action. Anyone can write an article. What we are looking to create is speed, drama as well as expertise within the article.
And I'll be there with you to guide and teach
you, and more importantly to show you exactly what you need to fix,
so that your articles improves instantly.

But what if you're already good at writing?
"I always thought I was quite good at writing
articles."
Anyway, I decided to implement everything I learnt. At the end of the
day you can't argue with the figures - the Psychotactics methodology works."
The open rate for my newsletter was at best average, and as I said, I always thought
I was quite good at writing articles.
Then after going to the Psychotactics articles workshop, I decided to implement
everything I learnt about structure and content -- just to see what would happen.
Since the newsletter went out I have monitoring visits to my web site and
new subscribers. All of a sudden my daily average number of visits and new
subscribers have shot up.
I have done nothing else other than the newsletter
to generate this increase.
To add to that, I now find it much easier to and quicker to write. At the
end of the day you can't argue with the figures - the Psychotactics methodology
works.

What makes this Article Writing Course different?
"The difference between this course, is simply 'the structure+drama''. Structure enables
you to see what's right with an article. And what's wrong. And this structure enables you to
write, and then audit at a a pace faster than every before.
Drama enables you to get and keep the attention of the reader from start to finish. Something that most articles just fail miserably to do. Drama is everything. Learning how to mix drama with structure is what makes this course different from anything else.
The learning system that's used to train you, is
the system of 'learn, implement, fix. This enables you to learn-by-doing,
instead of simply listening to a whole lot of blah, blah. You can learn,
practice and fix your mistakes.
And what makes me qualified to teach you?
For one I know how it feels to deal with a blank page. When I started, I had what was called the 'article graveyard'. I'd write half an article. Then I'd stop. Then I'd start off with another another. Soon I had a graveyard of articles. (Aarrrrrrrrrgh!)
But that's not all. I was also taking a whole two days to write one article. So in order to just write 12 articles a year, I was taking close to a month!!!
Well, now I write 300 articles a year...
So going from all that struggle, I found a way to write faster and with more effect than ever before. And today, our articles are not just for Psychotactics subscribers.
They are published in magazines both online and offline. They help run
a membership site at 5000bc. And they form the basis for books, products
etc. (What is a book or product but a series of articles in a chapter
format? What is a video but a series of articles in a set of frames? What
is a teleclass but an article being spoken out?)
Important: Reason Why You Shouldn't Delay
#1: It's more economical than most consultants
The entire course costs far less than what most
consultants or coaches will charge you.
Most coaches and consultants will charge you between $750-2400 per month.
And many of them don't even have the practical experience. You'll get
practical experiences on training, consulting, info-products, marketing,
selling and no B.S.
Another reason is that this program doesn't include any hidden costs.
Many a consultant will give you a figure, and then put in some hidden
costs (and you're robbed of time, money or both). On this course, what
you see is what you get...and a whole lot more as well.
Some of the topics that will
be covered:
|
1) How to write with drama--so your material is actually read.
2) How to use structure to speed up your writing considerably.
3) How to use articles online as well as offline to create expertise.
4) How to craft stories, analogies and metaphors like clockwork.
5) Deconstruction of the work of other articles (and other media).
6) How to write consistently great headlines that pull clients in.
7) How to write even if you believe you're not a writer.

But what if you don't get your value for money?
I recommend that you NEVER buy anything that isn't 100% guaranteed. And
this workshop homestudy has two guarantees.
You get our 'Lawn Mower Guarantee'. Which
means that if you decide all this information is rubbish, you can literally
run your lawn mower over the material and we'll still give you all your
money back. With no questions asked. Return it within 60 days for a complete
refund. Just put it in a box (the Home Study, not the lawnmower ;) and
send it back. And I'll be happy to refund your money with a smile.

P.S. If you need this course, and are hesitating, just remember that he
or she who hesitates is lost. The law of nature is simple: Sow and you
shall reap. You have to be prepared to sacrifice today, for even greater
gain tomorrow. Like you, even I struggled from month to month. Now the
copy I write, brings me tens of thousands of dollars each month. I too
was scared and still am, when I have to make a big decision. But I know
from experience, that if I don't make the sacrifice earlier, I never get
ahead in life. If you want to get ahead in life, this is your moment.
Don't hesitate.

"Believe it! Sean's methods work! I'm thrilled and astounded!
By using Sean's methods for just ONE article to get more business, we got 62 responses!
We are well on our way to meeting our revenue goals. Thanks Sean!"
Diane Winder, Marketing Manager, Educational Consulting
"I just finished reading your Psychological
Tactics of Headlines. I was really impressed.Having knowledge of something is good, having the ability
to convey that knowledge to others is special. Most of the marketing gurus have the know-how to make
money, but they just don't seem to have the ability to actually teach others how to duplicate their
efforts.Teachers are a special breed of people. You sir, possess that ability.I found your work to
be a comprehensive report delivered in such a manner that absolutely everyone can understand and implement
immediately.Thank you."

"I read and re-read the copy on the
website the night before (the training). I printed it out and read it
again.
It just sucked me in. The pull was pretty irresistible. I figured I had
to find out if this was the real thing.
And so, I made the 100km drive
to the workshop. And it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. "

"I can
only say this. If you aren't using Sean currently, you should be,
because next year he's going to be TWICE as expensive!"

Ryder Senior, Managing Partner-Frog Prints
"Sean D'Souza
makes me paranoid. He is a master of the consumer mind.
Every word he writes, I wonder, "Is he trying to manipulate my mind?"
"What does he want me to think?"
Sean is all about the psychology
of marketing. His advice is extremely compelling and makes intensive,
mind-splitting points that make you crave his articles."
Jim Kinlan at TemplateZone.com
"If gods walked on earth, you'd be my Marketing
God. I just read your article, "When Do You Stop Marketing To Customers?" and I have to say that it's
one of the best articles on marketing I've read in a long while.
Every word you wrote is true. You've made your point in a short article
much better than most authors could in an entire book.
Your writing style is captivating, clever, unique, entertaining, uplifting,
and easily absorbed. And best of all, you're able to do all that without
any BS! That's great--Keep up the terrific work you're doing!
