I like the links to other things. I'm learning lots about product creation and marketing just from stopping by. Best, Mary Terrific outline - easy to follow. I like the links to other things.

I really learn a lot from the forums I frequent, and know that when i visit, there has to be a limit to both reading and posting. I always try to create one question to ask and one contribution to make. It usually turns out though that I spend too much time on one or the other before i have to move on to other parts of my day or evening. The timer idea is a good one, I have a few timers around the house for just that reason. Thanks for reminding me. Best, Mary Hi, Stacy, great solution for the forum time drain.

No hype--yea, I love it! As for copywriting, every time I write copy I find myself referring to John Caples Tested Advertised Methods. You can pick it up at Amazon for under 10 bucks (used). It was last updated in 1998 but still worth it. A lot of great tested headlines. Bob Bly's Copywriter's Handbook is also great. Michel Fortin's blog and forum is great. And if you search Google for Agora you'll see the best sales pages around! Hi Stacie,

I loved your Copywriting Cheat Sheet. It was simple and to the point, not overwhelming as well. One other thing I try to do when telling the 'story' is try to imagine I'm talking to one of my friends that have no clue about the product. If I have to think about what a person that has never seen my product would need to know, it helps a whole lot. :) Tim,

Thanks for the link back to my blog. That's awesome! Great tips in your post and I love how you didn't overwhelm someone with a lot of rules. Writing great copy is really about the 'story' that you present to draw the reader further into the writing. As for my favorite copywriting resource... it would have to be my growing archive of articles and blog posts on copywriting. I re-read at least four old articles every week to make sure that I keep my mind fresh with ideas and creative tips. Another thing that has helped me a lot is reading other sales letters. Not for the actual content, mostly for inspiration to make me a better writer. Tim Hi Stacie!

Tim, My thinking is if you have friends everything else will fall into place, lol. By the way, the 'Options' theme is the first one I looked at, I picked this one because I liked that neat tabbed 'featured' thing on the front page, lol. Lynn, Twitter is definitely addictive that is for sure, lol.

Really like the fact that you emphasized the people aspect of social marketing and not just the added traffic or revenue. Love your blog design too. I'm kind of partial to magazine/news sites myself.
