Write You - Creative Writing and the Hero's Journey: Walk the Line (2005) Deconstructed
How to write sales copy advice is easy to find in the marketing world. All marketers know they must either learn how to write good sales copy or they must be able to hire someone who knows how to write good sales copy.The most important how to write sales copy information is something all marketers should know (whether they write their own sales copy or hire someone else to write it for them). Here are the two most important secrets to writing great sales copy:1. First, great sales copy is always about the customer. Too many advertisements and sales letters focus way too much on the seller. Sellers have a tendency to go on and on about how much time they put into developing a product, how much money they spent on it, how proud they are of it.What does the potential buyer say to this? He or she says, “Who cares?”Buyers don’t care about you (except to be sure that you have the credentials to offer the expertise you offer). They care about themselves.Learning how to write effective sales copy requires learning to write about benefits. You must be able to explain to your prospect why your product will benefit him or her.2. The second sales copy secret you must know if you want to le

For those of you who may have given up hope, getting a good deal on a financial product, once in your golden years is not as far from your grasp as you might imagine.The financial industry is awakening and “smelling the coffee”, as highlighted by the fact that many insurance companies are starting to cater more extensively for the over 65’s.This may just be due to the fact that over 50’s are thought to possess 60% of Britons wealth, according to a recent report by Abbey. Further to this the combined household wealth of this age group is thought to now stand at ?5 Trillion. As you can imagine this is an immensely profitable market for insurance companies to corner. As a result of this you should expect to be able to clinch a good deal on policies such as car insurance, here your experience will count for something and secure you a cheaper policy (although this may not be the case once into your 70’s). For a while now though, one of the biggest bugbears for people of this age group has been finding holiday insurance at a price less than astronomical.As I wrote in a previous article on the topic of holiday insurance; the most important thing is to be as honest as possible with the insurance company. You sh
The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.
The Hero's Journey:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.

You’ll find people buying comics for more than just collecting value. Collecting value is strong and represents some of the highest finishing prices on eBay, but interest and consequently bidding wars are hotting up between bidders wanting comics for their stunning art work or as alternative investments to resell when prices peak or to keep for the proverbial ‘rainy day’.One thing is certain: Vintage Comics often fetch four figure sums on eBay and are worth searching out at boot sales, flea markets, local auctions and collectors’ fairs. You may not find anything unique and worth many thousands of dollars at these local events, but they are great places to find really early comics which are still worth $10, $20, $100 or more on eBay.* Generally the older the comic the more valuable it is mainly due to low production figures in the late 1800s and early 1900s when only the wealthiest families could afford them in the UK and USA and virtually all other civilized countries. Older generally means more valuable also due to the ephemeral quality of comics which, like newspapers and most other paper items, were made to be used and once used were usually discarded. Very few delicate paper ephemera items, including comic

You get an invitation to submit your grant to a private organization or company; or a government agency selects a few companies to send their solution to a problem that need solving. In these cases, you wouldn't write a full-blown proposal, so your best bet is presenting them with a letter proposal. Letter proposals are only two to four pages long, and it is a hybrid of a cover letter and proposal. We will discuss the seven sections of a letter proposal, and give tips so you will get the funding or be invited to write a full-length proposal.Section One: Why Are You Writing and What Is This All About? If you spoke to the sponsor, or were invited by someone that they know to write the letter proposal, you want to acknowledge that in the beginning.For example: Dear Mr. Jackson: It was wonderful speaking to you at Company A's holiday party last week. As we discussed, our organization is launching a new series of workshops....After you familiarize yourself with the sponsor, you want to summarize what sets you apart from other similar organizations, what you want from the sponsor, the amount of money you are requesting, and your project's goals and outcomes.Section Two: Why Do I Care About Th

Insurance FHA 203 (k) FHA 203 b FHA 251 FHA Title I program FHA MIP RefundThe Federal housing administration was created by Congress in 1934 as part of the national housing act. The purpose of the act, and of the FHA, was to generate new jobs through increased construction activity, to exert a stabilizing influence on the mortgage market, and to promote the financing, prepared, and sale of real estatenationwide. Today, the FHA is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).The FHA's primary function is to insure loans. FHA approved lenders are insured against losses caused by borrower default.The FHA insurance program is called mutual mortgage insurance plan (MMI). Under the plan, lenders who had been approved by the FHA to make insured loans either submit applications from prospective borrowers to the local FHA office for approval, or, if authorized by the FH to do so, from the underwriting functions themselves. Lenders who are authorized by the FHA to fully underwrite their own FHA loan applications are called direct endorsement lenders (DE Lenders).

Michael, 39, is a section leader for a large US plant that manufactures jet engine components. In many aspects, the career is rewarding. After 17 years, Michael is in line for a major promotion. Not only does the work offer potential for advancement, but it also affords security in terms of salary, benefits and the promise of an attractive retirement plan.Security and potential are important to Michael and his family. But they're not the only terms that motivate. Michael knows his high standards influence his team's oversight. Their work means safer jets and safer air travel. Year after year, the section earns company awards and bonuses for workflow management, workplace safety and production. There's a real value in his work as a mechanical engineer, and most measure Michael a success.He likes to think so, too. Still, in quiet moments, he wonders…is this really the work for me? Is this what I envisioned? He sketches his thoughts to paper. They take shape as a shelf -- the one he can't buy. He needs the shelf to finish the neoangle tile shower he and his wife have constructed as their month-long do-it-yourself project. His thoughts wander again, and this time, map the equation for the conversion angle. He wonders w
