- Really?! Great-- what was the book about.
-
- I found writing the book was not a major challenge, though it did take
- quite a bit of discipline to sit down and write and re-write each day.
-
- My biggest difficulty was writing a good ad, testing it, rewriting it,
- comparing it, rewriting it, getting advice, rewriting it..... And
- still, some publications would make money and others wouldn't.
- Targeting your audiene is so important in direct advertising and
- direct mail.
-
- Joe Karbo (_Lazy Man's Way to Riches_) originally wrote a full page Ad
- and then wrote his book after it pulled tons of orders. (Of course
- that is now illegal but.... it stress the importance of a good ad.)
