Write or die.

I have a television set with more channels than the Amazon (the river that is).  The trouble is there are not enough programs to fill them all.  So we get repeat after repeat.  Just like my email inbox.  The same thing repeated time after time. We are living in the  so called information age.  Information can be sent across the world in seconds but what information? Repeat after repeat.  I think that I have several emails today from kind souls telling me that they have just persuaded there best friend to release there secret system to me there best subscriber.  Come on guy’s lets have some originality.  Copy and paste is all very well but you need to put something of yourself into what you do.  I know its hard work to be original but you really need to stand out from the crowd if you want to be noticed and taken seriously.  You can use other peoples work to get ideas but don’t just copy, put the knowledge in you own words.  That way you can become an expert in your field and gain credibility.  Communication is the number one skill that Internet marketers need to develop.  It is said that a reader takes on average 8 seconds to decide whether to read through a message, to me 8 seconds seems like a long time – I take less.  You need to capture your prospects interest right from the start or there gone.  Learn how to write interesting copy now.  It is the one major skill every marketer needs.
