So, we’re right in the middle of the Christmas shopping season as we come to you this week, and I’m wondering:
Have you figured out how to delight your customers and fatten up your bank account?
If you haven’t you’re not alone.
Many copywriters and businesses don’t know exactly what to do to join in the holiday buying and selling fun… so they don’t do anything.
Which is a shame, because there’s a ton of people out there just looking for a good excuse to buy something.
So this podcast is my gift to you. It has enough practical how-to content to be a paid product, but since you are loyal Copywriters Podcast listener or viewer, we’re going to give it to you so you can join in the fun for the next few weeks… if you want to.
Now, one word of warning. We’re going to give you 11 last-minute ideas. Some of these are as easy as pie to implement.
Other ones require a lot of fine-tuned skill and the ability to handle some high-precision operations all at once. I’ll warn you about which ones are not for the faint of heart, or for beginners.
But one thing I can promise you before we start. There’s something for everyone on today’s show, and it could lead to a little holiday bonus for your business in the next few days, if you do it right.
Here’s a recap of what we covered. Details in the show itself:
