Hi Martin: Did you search Thesaurus.com? That will give you alternatives.

You could also look at ads for weight loss products and see what words they use.

Hi, my name is Antti. I have small local service business and I am here to learn how to promote and market my business. Word of mouth takes too long and it is something you can’t really rely on. So I will be looking for local business marketing ideas and examples. Thank You.

I assume you are in the US. The first thing you have to do is fill out your Google Local (or whatever they call it now) listing, There are other directories as well (Bing, Yellow Pages, I don’t remember all of them). Make sure your phone number, address and business name are exactly the same in all of them.
You can also run Facebook ads. They…Read more

There is another thing the Post Office has where you can get a flyer/postcard delivered to all addresses in a certain zip code. I’m not sure what they call it but it is something you can look into if you are not yet familiar with it. Your local post office can explain it and tell you how much it costs.

Have great weekend.-
Hey Anttik. If you have the offer right the copywriting won’t have to be as good. You have to give the a reason to come to you. If you can give them something Free or super low cost that the person would think was High priced. An example say would be interior detail thats worth $300 but it only costs you in reality $50 to do with your staff time…Read more

Hey guy’s
I’m having some trouble with swiping.
Obviously I have John’s swipe files and also from other copywriters.
Here’s what my days and nights look like:
I wake up to go to my dead end 9-5 (8:30 – 5:30) (actually) and all my brain thinks about is COPYWRITING
I’ve been at that job for 12years and just recently (2years ago) I found out…Read more-
For example: from John’s freelance course.:
Here’s what I’ve got for you: After privately mentoring a small mob of freelance copywriters (helping them multiply their results, their client-base, and their wealth many times over)…
… I decided to reach more wanna-be freelancers by cramming everything I know about the gig into an info-packed course…Read more

Haha yeah felt weird when I wrote it

Harlan Kilstein (one of the Simple Writing System coaches) is a king of swiping copy. He created a video several years ago that shows how he swipes copy. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8RRz9isIfQ
Also, FYI, John and Stan are releasing the Simple Writing System Express course, which is free. It doesn’t talk about swiping…Read more

They also say you should swipe copy from one industry to another, like you did here. That way there is less likelihood that anyone will recognize it.

Awesome thanks!
