Take it from me, promoting your copywriting service is like navigating a CRAZY MAZE, man.

You wanna showcase your expertise without sounding like an obnoxious BRAGGART.

Today, I'm gonna dive deep into some KILLER STRATEGIES to promote your business or service with AUTHENTICITY and GENUINE STYLE, all by KEEPING IT REAL and HIGHLIGHTING YOUR STRENGTHS while staying true to yourself.

KEY CONCEPT: FOCUS ON VALUE

LOOK, when it comes to promoting yourself, you must avoid self-centered BRAGGING, man.

You must, and I repeat, MUST, focus on the VALUE you bring to the table.

Show people how your product or service can change their lives, solve their problems, or fulfill their needs.

Paint a picture of the INCREDIBLE BENEFITS you offer and let them know why they can't live without it. It's all about giving them something they can't resist—that is YOU.

PROVE IT

It's an old saying—it ain't BRAGGING if it's TRUE.

Here's how to do it: Share testimonials, case studies, or success stories from SATISFIED CUSTOMERS or clients.

Let everyone know YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL.

When your prospects see how others are making MONEY HAND OVER FIST from your copy, they can't help but take notice. Those positive reviews are like GOLD, baby!

They build TRUST and prove you're the real deal.

EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN

Over the years, I have found the best way to promote yourself as the solution to their needs is to both EDUCATE and ENTERTAIN your prospects.

Here's how to do it: Share VALUABLE and INFORMATIVE CONTENT that makes people think, "This guy knows his stuff!"

I encourage you to follow my lead through BLOG POSTS, ARTICLES, PODCASTS, VIDEOS, or EMAIL LETTERS like this one.

Over time, you can become the GURU they turn to when they need guidance. EDUCATE 'EM, ENTERTAIN 'EM, and get 'em reaching for the phone to call you!

STAY HUMBLE

Don't let the BIG WINS go to your head. Not every one of your promotions is gonna be a HOME RUN.

You are always gonna have a WIN-LOSS RATIO. In my business, if you can beat the control 25%, you're a WINNER. 50% of the time, you're BARRY BONDS.

Don't be afraid to share your flaws.

Everyone knows NOBODY IS PERFECT. Don't be afraid to admit it. HUMILITY goes a long way, and you can turn that into more work than beating your chest about how good you are.

LISTEN!

When you finally get someone on the phone, always LISTEN to their needs, share GENUINE STORIES, and respond from the HEART. Show them you care about their success.

Work to build REAL CONNECTIONS based on TRUST and RESPECT. My mantra has always been, "LET'S GET RICH TOGETHER."

By focusing on your VALUE, EDUCATING and ENTERTAINING your prospects, you'll be a PROMOTION MACHINE without ever sounding like a BRAGGING FOOL.

All good wishes,

Doug
