For Three Fortune 500 Companies!

Hi, I'm Steven Schneiderman,
the "Marketing Cowboy," and I'd like to tell you why you should
use my copywriting services over my competitors'. Listen, I know you're
not stupid. There are a lot of people calling themselves copywriters on the
Net today.
Most are young kids who are
self-proclaimed gurus. You know the type: young, smug,
know-it-alls. No depth. No talent. No credentials. Flash in the pan. What
they know about marketing and branding and selling and writing can be summed
up only by the last ebook they bought.
You Need To
Look For Two Things In A Copywriter:
1. You need someone who knows a little something
about writing.
I've been spinning stories
since I was a kid. It's what I studied in college, it's what I've done for a
living, and it's also how I relax. Writing is my passion.
My
Bachelor's and Master's degrees are both in Creative Writing.
I
received two awards from the City University of New York for my writing
in 1982 and 1983 -- in poetry and fiction. Yeah, I know what
you're thinking: what does poetry and fiction have to do with writing
sales copy? Everything. Good sales copy understands line breaks and
rhyme and rhythm as well as tells a story.
I
taught college writing for three years at Queens College (New York).
I understand grammar and punctuation and spelling. You're not going to
wind up with poorly written copy when you use my services.
I've
ghost-written books on multiple subjects, published my own series of
ebooks, in 1983 Harper & Row
published one of my essays right between the works of Stephen King and
Woody Allen, and every week over 10,000 subscribers read my
newsletters about marketing, mini sites and publishing.
My
network of over 100 web sites receive well over 1,000,000 unique views a year,
many of my sites appear in the top 10 on the major search engines, and
my product reviews frequently appear in the top 3 positions across
Google, Yahoo, MSN and AOL. I understand the art of online promotion.
I've
been writing sales copy for
Tulsa companies since 1993.
2. You need someone who knows a little something
about marketing.
I'm a 20 year
marketing veteran with experience in traditional, Internet and cable
television marketing. In the past, I have held the position of Director of
Marketing for these three Fortune 500 companies:
WilTel:
I helped build the brand that turned this little Tulsa company into a
$2.5 billion empire. From 1991 to 1995 I built
and ran my own in-house advertising agency with a staff of 20 and was
responsible for a $10 million annual marketing budget.
WorldCom:
From 1995-2000 I helped take this company from Jackson, Mississippi to
the board rooms of Wall Street, and along the way I
became a sales expert and automated the entire sales force of over 2000
sales reps and their managers across the country.
Gemstar-TV
Guide: Starting as a writer-producer, I
executive produced multiple promotional spots for the nationally
televised TV Guide Channel, and later became the director of
marketing operations in 2003 over-seeing direct email campaigns, web
promotion and much more.
None of My Competitors Have My
Credentials.
So who would you rather work
with? Some newbie kid who's holding a copywriting book in one hand and your
money in the other or an experienced veteran who is going to deliver the
goods the first time, every time? What
do these brats really know about writing and marketing and branding?
Nothing. So spending your hard-earned money with these folks is like
throwing it away.
A Voice of Experience.
Over the past 20+ years I have marketed
products and services across a wide variety of industries including
software, hardware, sales automation, consulting services, insurance,
healthcare, telecommunications, Internet services, legal, medical, cable
television, book/ebooks, CDs/DVDs, eBay tools, diet and exercise, MLM,
interior design, jewelry, Forex and much, much more. Rest assured, if I do not have
immediate experience in your particular field, I will learn it quickly. You
will not be disappointed.
Words & Music.
One of my old mentors said,
"Steve, without music, words fall meaningless on the page." He's
right. I've seen some great-looking web sites, but their sales message was totally
lost. You couldn't figure out what the features, advantages and benefits of
the product or service were to the prospect. In the long run, the product fails to sell
not because it didn't look good, but because there wasn't any music.
Picture Perfect.
The look and feel of your web
site is just as important as your sales copy. People do judge a book by its
cover, and they frequently judge your site the same way. What does your site
say about you and your product or service? Do the supporting graphics and
colors help or hinder? When you use my services, I can also provide you with
quality graphics and web design that will support my sales copy. Stop
managing multiple vendors to get your site launched. I can do it all for you
under one roof.
A La Carte or Prix Fixe?
It's your choice: you can
purchase individual services or purchase a complete package
including sales copy and graphics for a flat rate. I can write everything
from your web site's sales copy and autoresponder messages to your squeeze
pages and press releases. I can even create brandable reports for you to
give away to your affiliates and JV partners. And I'm comfortable in any medium ranging from the
printed page to online to television. It's entirely up to you based upon
your individual needs, timeline and budget.
Value-Added Services.
Receive the type of high-quality service
you would expect from an expensive big city agency from a Tulsa
copywriter at small town prices.
For Ebook Products: When you
order a sales page, autoresponder series, or squeeze page for your ebook, I will include a FREEmembership to EbookoMatic.com
-- the only place in the world where an author can publish, promote,
distribute and sell ebooks in minutes. Since 2001, I have published over
1000 ebooks written by more than 500 authors worldwide. This membership has
a $147.00 value.
For Software Products: When you
order a sales page, autoresponder series, or squeeze page for your software
product, I will include a FREEreview on the Cool
Tool Awards web site -- one of the most popular and heavily
trafficked product review sites on the Net. In addition, depending upon the
nature of the product, I may include that review on any number of sites in
my network (presently over 100 sites).
All
sales letters come with additional headlines for split testing, keyword and
description META tag suggestions, and free search engine submission.
Testimonials? Yeah, I Got Some of
Those, Too.
My Personal Guarantee.
No one can promise you that
your product or service will make you rich. Ultimately, your success is
entirely up to you, and how much time and energy you put into promoting it.
What I can promise you is that I will put my 20+ years of experience to work
for you, I will leverage my strengths to deliver the very best services that
I can, and I will always respond to you in a professional and timely
fashion. At the end of your project, you will be happy you chose me. Thanks
for your interest in my work, and I look forward to working with you in the
near future.
