Summary: IMPROVES YOUR WRITING AND BOOSTS BUSINESS
Review: Do you want to improve your business writing right away? Read Persuading on Paper. Marcia Yudkin gives away all the essential secrets of good promotional writing and reveals them in an upbeat, logical, easy-to-follow fashion. Using her creative checklists, five levels of "sell" and editing guidelines (with clear examples), I immediately found specific ways to make my own writing more exciting, direct and effective.

I gave the book to a friend who felt trapped in her inability to put ideas into words and saw Yudkin's tips tune-up her talent as well.

Yudkin's practical sections on production and marketing are a valuable bonus. She is a good storyteller who explains each point and then shows what she means. Her vivid examples make her advice easy to follow. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Summary: Excellent book on copywriting
Review: I am picky about the marketing books I read and use and this one rates at the top of the list--up there with Bly, Caples, and Ogilvy.

Jammed-packed with insightful recommendations, this book contains tips, secrets and good, solid information from a writer who has the experience and expertise to back it up.

If you are looking to increase your business or are a copywriter who is looking for another useful tome for their marketing bookshelf, here is a gem of a book just waiting to be explored and put to work for you and your clients.

Summary: A big help
Review: I'm just getting started in marketing my business, Win/Win Coaching, and want to know how best to let people know who I am and what I do. Yudkin does a great job of covering everything. I didn't feel talked down to, and now I know where to start. She included many ideas contributed by others, so they become a resource as well. I can really see why there are no used copies of this book. I first got a libray copy and could see quickly that I need to own this as a reference.

Summary: Marketing Made Fun!
Review: This is a lively book on the usually dry subject of marketing. I would never have believed it could be so much fun to create all the marketing materials for my company. With this book, a painful process has become more like play.

If you need to write copy, you need this book! I am designing a marketing plan for my company from the ground up using this indispensable handbook. Small business owners, independent contractors and corporations could all benefit from Marcia's sage advice and user friendly style.

She covers every aspect of writing copy, including how to write in your own voice and style and remain consistent. The book has numerous examples of both good and bad copy and teaches you how to avoid common mistakes. From newsletters to brochures to ads and slogans, this book reminds you that writing good copy is most of the battle.

I stumbled upon Marcia and this book accidentally on the web. From that day on I realized that marketing no longer had to be completely boring. I'm now a huge fan of Marcia's and of her Creative Marketing Solutions website!
