Very few people know how to effectively write a report that people want to read— even fewer know how to effectively get readers to take action after reading their report.
It is no secret that one of the better tools for getting visitors to raise their hand and self-identifying themselves as viable prospects, for building trust and credibility, for accelerating the business development cycle, is—
An intriguing and compelling Free Special Report.
However, it takes effort to write a special report. It takes even more effort to get someone to read it. And it's the rare report that motivates the reader to take ACTION once they finish it.
In my 3-part mini-seminar, (delivered to your in-box over the next three days including written and audio content) I am going to teach you something that maybe 10% of authors have mastered. And I'm going to do it for the ridiculously low price of $79.
This is what you're going to learn:
- The 6 Simple Steps for quickly and easily writing a Free Special Report that actually gets read and acted upon.
- How to choose an attention-grabbing title.
Let me spell this out clearly from the beginning. Whether or not someone reads your report is very dependent upon your title. When I offer a report, I want people to be so interested that they stop what they're doing and read it right then. - The Quick and Easy Formula for creating a Title that hooks your reader and makes them want to dive into the content.
Includes Quick Fill-in-the-Blank Templates to get you started with your title. - How to determine the most compelling Points of Interest. The Plug & Play method for writing content that gets read.
- How to write an interesting opening sentence.
- A "swipe file" of opening sentences I've created— which you can modify as you see fit for your own free special reports.
- How to lure the reader deeper into your content.
- The no-pain method for clearly expressing your point, briefly and thoroughly so that the reader understands what you're sharing.
- How long should your report should be? I'll give you guidelines to follow.
- Graphics and Layout: How to ensure that your report is read by enhancing its visual appeal. Simple steps you can take to make sure that your report is visually stunning.
about our graphics services - How to get even greater visibility for your report by getting others to publish it.
- The end of your report is the moment you've been waiting for-that point when the reader has finished reading and is about to move on. WHAT WILL THEY DO NOW?
Since this is so CRUCIAL to the overall business building effort, I am offering you this— - BONUS: When your reader has finished reading...
Your mission is to get readers to move on to YOUR desired action. While the report is going to end, you don't want their encounter with you to end. You want them satisfied with what they've leaned, but eager for something more. - I will share with you my "final point" strategy (previously a technique I have only divulged to my advanced copy-writing coaching clients) that drives the reader to take action and take the next step in the business development process.
