4 Steps for Writing Lead Generators

Sooner or later, as a small business professional, you'll have to write copy that persuades.

Michael Stelzner at his White Papers seminar in San Diego gave some great tips, not only for white papers, but for writing any advertorial or copy designed to help readers make a decision.

Patsi was in the audience Friday and soaked up a lot of wisdom from Michael.

On our poll at CoachEzines.com, voters find writing promotional copy the most challenging of all writing tasks.

It doesn't have to be that hard. When you break it down into logical sections, it's easy to craft promotional content.

One of the most valuable ways Stelzner does this for white papers is to write an introductory first page. Here's his formula:

1. Identify the reader
2. Summarize the challenge
3. Summarize the solution
4. State the goal of your white paper (or advertorial, or email promotion, etc.)
