Write You - Copywriting Tip: How to Format HTML for Clients When You Don't Know HTML
When most people think of non-profit organizations they think of charitable organizations, organizations standing for a higher cause with your best interest at heart. Yet, when you’re dealing with debt consolidation, does a non-profit mean you will be the recipient of more compassionate service? Does it mean that you will pay less for these services? Does it even mean that those who help you will not be making money from your business? When it comes to consol
Step 7. Once you see the text appear in HTML format, with all that nifty code, highlight and copy the entire contents of the box using the method described in Step 3.

Grants are again gaining prominence in the publications related to small business financing and entrepreneurship. Not surprisingly, many readers want to know more about the “grants money” matters. After all, from the descriptions given by the journalists, it’s as simple as asking for the free grant money, and your bank balance is a few thousand dollars higher. Not bad, for any new or expanding commercial activity, short of liquidity. Hence, the undeniable att
Step 1. Type the article as you normally would, using your word processing program of choice. For most people, that's Microsoft Word. For others, it's Microsoft Works. Wordpad, WordPerfect, and any shareware word processor all work fine for this purpose. Save the file as you normally would, in a spot that's easily accessible.
Step 2. Locate your text editing program. The easiest way to do this is to open a web page... any web page at all is okay, and then go to the top and click VIEW, and then SOURCE. The page that opens up is your text editing program. For most users, that would be Notepad.
Step 3. In that text editing program, click FILE and then NEW. Go back to the file that contains your client's copy, and hit Control-A (highlight all) and then Control-C (copy). Return to the Notepad or other text file and do a Control-V (paste). The article text will flow onto the page. Go to the top and label this copy as "Plain Text Version."
Step 4. Visit a networking site, such as Ryze.com, or an article distribution site that you're familiar with, that offers an HTML editor. If you normally post to the Ryze network, you should go to one of the forums you're familiar with there.
Step 5. Start a "fake" post in the network forum of your choice. (Or, pretend you're entering article text if you're in an article site.)
Step 6. Paste the client's copy into that box where you'd normally type your post or article. Click PREVIEW and then EDIT POST, or else click the HTML icon if there is one.

It always amazes me how much stock market investors resemble horse track bettors. Some are very conservative, willing to trade low returns for relative safety. Others bet with both hands, looking for the big score. In this article, I'd like to introduce you to a few characters I've met at racetracks. Then we'll see what they can teach us about investing.CONNIE CONSENSUS - Connie is easy to spot. She's the lady with the table buried in paper. Con

The group of personality traits and behaviors that makes a successful salesperson has been a topic of discussion amongst business owners and marketing experts for decades. It seems that almost everyone who has published a book or journal article on this topic seems to have the "recipe" for what makes the perfect salesperson. We've all even heard the phrase, "He (or she) is a born salesperson," indicating that we tend to believe that being a good salesperson i

1. Apologize. An apology makes the angry customer feel heard and understood. It diffuses and anger and allows you to begin to re-establish trust. Not only that, but pilot studies have found that the mere act of apologizing has reduced lawsuits, settlement, and defense costs. You need to apologize to customers regardless of fault. Certainly, the apology needs to be carefully worded. Here’s an example of a sincere, yet careful apology:“Please ac

A business is a continuity of dealings. The continuity of dealings would also require a continuity of funds. Though a successful business maintains sufficient funds for meeting with this need, there are some emergencies, which they might not have thought of. Business loans create funds for these very unexpected needs.Does it look similar to the emergencies that you as an individual would come across? Yes it is, but there is a basic difference. While yo

Step 8. Save the text file on your desktop as a .txt file. Go back to the "fake post" and close it up (obviously you don't want to post your client's work on a public forum or as an article by accident. If for some reason you hit the dreaded POST button, delete your post immediately.
Step 9. Make sure that you communicate with the designer your plan to do this with the copy. Ask him if this HTML is something he can use. You may find that in talking with him, it's not what he needs after all. If he plans to use style sheets to design the site, then you definitely do not have to go through this needless process... the HTML code that is generated with a text editor will be useless to him.
Step 10. Offer the designer an alternative: That you will use basic HTML code such as < b > for bold, < i > for italics, < br > for line breaks, and so on. If you do not know this code, make it your business to find out about it. I suggest you read this article:
Above all, you should maintain open communication with your web design collaborator. If he finds you easy to work with, guess which copywriter is getting a call back? That would be you. Good luck and happy coding!
