Judith Sherven & Jim Sniechowski

Learned More In Just the First Couple of Sessions

“Never knew how off-target I was in my sales copy until I took this course with Jim and Judith. I learned more about copywriting for my market in just the first couple of sessions than all those years studying with some of the Internet Gurus.”

Judith & Jim

Dear Soft Sell Colleague, When is the last time you received a piece of sales copy . . . say, an "urgent" letter in the mail . . . or a "don't miss this" notice through email . . . or a pre-recorded phone pitch . . .

Only to find out it was completely irrelevant to what you do or care about?

What did you do? You probably didn't give it a second chance. Tossed it straight into the round file — or CLICKED delete before even looking — or slammed the phone down with an annoyed CLUNK.

Why? Because there was no match between you and the message. No connection. It was coming at you without being about you.

But imagine the effort, the cash outlay, and the hope spent by the person who sent you the letter — all dashed in a blink when you chucked it, deleted it, or hung up.

That's the last thing you want to happen to your message.

But why wouldn't you throw it away?

We're all so bombarded, pommeled with messages every minute of every day, each one clamoring for us to buy something.

So people have become very skeptical — or they shut down entirely.

You can't blame anyone. We've all thrown out those irrelevant, meaningless messages.

BUT — that's not how you want your readers to respond to your message, to your effort, cash outlay, and hope, all contained in the letter you hoped would connect with those who are looking for what you have to offer.

Because you do have something valuable to offer. A sincere solution to a pressing problem. The answer to a nagging desire.

So . . . how do you prevent from being ignored? How do you stand out?

Through your copy . . . clear, straight forward, and to the point.

You rouse your reader's imagination to see the power and the promise of what you offer

. . . And move them to take action . . . the action you want them to take . . . the solution they know they need to take . . . and take the action your copy guides them to take.

Infuse Your Copy with Power

"I've headed up direct mail for J. Walter Thompson (New York City) and The New York Times Corporation, and run my own direct marketing agency. I've won just about every honor and award there is in the industry. It's almost impossible to teach the nuances of copywriting genius. I say "almost" because Jim and Judith do it! They are wonders at showing you how to infuse your copy with magical selling power. "

Art Klein, Direct Marketer,

Catskill, NY

I want that Magic

So Why The Soft Topic Copywriting Home Study Course?

Because — you market your products and services online (maybe offline as well) there's a crucial difference between what marketers refer to as "soft" and "hard" topics.

Most hard topic internet marketers focus on the money-making process . . .

— They promote packages that teach ways to promote
— They market products that lay out techniques for how to marketB
— They sell programs for how to sell

And they are very good . . . for the most part.

But their focus is strictly on the process of making money . . . return on investment (ROI).

Will that work for you, when your specialty has to do with communication skills, health and nutrition, emotional intimacy, or any of the other human wants and needs?

The answer is No.

Because your customer is looking for more than just a return on money spent.

Your customer wants what we call ROE . . .

Return On Experience!

Your customer wants to change their life . . . to create a new way of being.

That's what's most important.

Hard topic copy is brilliant for what it does, but it goes against the tone and feel of who you are and what you have to offer.

Think about it. You can't offer self-improvement, health care, love and intimacy, spiritual coaching or even financial planning like you'd sell a set of tires.

That's why there's a heart-felt and bottom-line-need for The Soft Topic Copywriting Home Study Course.

So you can provide good nutrition, enlightened parenting, self-development, or any of the ROE solutions that people Need, Want, and are Willing to Pay For in a voice that matches who you are and what you do.. . . to the community of customers who've looked everywhere, are not satisfied, and are eager to do business with you.

Getting Clear About Your Message

“Before this we were wandering around in this jungle of copywriting advice feeling hopeless about ever finding the information we needed. We struggled to model and use the information but never very successfully. After taking this course we're not only well on our way to having a sales letter that speaks to the heart of our market, but as a surprise bonus we got clearer about our message and discovered a whole new market we wanted to serve.”

Beth Banning and Neill Gibson,

What Do You Have to Lose If You Don't Take Advantage of This Opportunity?

The truth is . . . a lot!

  • Sales, for one . . . When people aren't buying what you have to offer . . . your copy doesn't touch their hearts;
  • Two . . . You're stuck with the frustration of having a product that gets results . . . but your readers aren't getting your message;
  • Three . . . You lose the chance to really help people . . .which is not something you want to drizzle away because of copy that's not doing its job;
  • Four . . . You miss out on the real pleasure of sending out copy that pulls . . .instead of wasting time struggling to figure out what works;

You certainly can't be faulted. You've done the best you know how.

But, bottom line . . . your copy isn't working . . . at least not yet.

What Happens If You Don't Study Soft Topic Copywriting?

That's not difficult to answer.

You'll end up with pretty much the same hard sell stuff as what's out there.

No doubt some experienced hard topic copywriter can produce copy that sells. But the danger is not in the selling, it's whether or not you're creating and maintaining a long term relationship with your customers — while maintaining your own sense of integrity.

Because the connection — the deep loyalty you need to keep your customers returning — is not made through bargain prices (there's always somebody with a better price), or faster shipping (which is rarely necessary), or outrageous bonuses (in some cases totaling thousands of dollars for a product selling for less than one-hundred dollars).

You create deep loyalty through the mind-to-mind, heart-to-heart connection . . . so your customers know . . . really know . . .

1You understand them

1You've been where they are

1You really care about their well-being

1You'll be there for them . . . long term.

That's why the emotional quality of your copy has to match the tone and feel of what you do . . . so you can be sure your copy is not just a one-hit sales message, but a strategy that builds your business long-term.

Why Should You Trust Us?

Rather than tell you our story . . . we'll let a few of our Soft Topic Copywriting students speak for us:

They've Got It Nailed

“Hard sell copywriting cannot work well when you want to connect with people on a heart-to-heart level and build genuine trust and a long term relationship. Judith and Jim have this approach nailed — using a combination of empathic writing and powerful marketing techniques. Anyone who offers a product or service in the soft sell field absolutely must get this course! "

Jessica LaRock,

MBA, Pleasant Valley, NY

Understanding the secrets of Soft Topic Copywriting gives you the confidence to promote and market your product or program with ease.


With Great Integrity and Without Hype

"Judith and Jim are masters at taking ineffective copy and transforming it into credible, compelling communication. They have suggested so many subtle changes I never would have thought of. And they do it all with great integrity and without hype. They are a treasure. "

Dan Grandstaff,

MSW, MDiv, Chapel Hill, NC

Knowing good copy from bad and the techniques that make it so will help you discover your own voice and sell what you have to offer.


I Just Thought It Was Part of Me

“The copywriting concepts I learned were so ingrained in me (in such a short time) that I found myself critiquing a friend's website based on what Judith and Jim taught me. That friend had taken their course and remarked "I see you've learned a lot from them." I was astonished by this. I just thought it was part of me. And it was . . . but thanks to them. "

Terrie Wurzbacher,

D.O., San Antonio, TX

Copy structure and copy techniques are the heart and soul of good writing. Applying them turns a collection of words into a persuasive and profitable connection.


Spellbinding

"You two are fantastic at opening up a piece of sales copy, explaining the details of why each line of copy does or doesn't work to draw the reader in. We really got to appreciate the flow of well written copy and better understand how to utilize the techniques for our own use. We were spellbound by your insights. "

Lori & Jeff Wark,

Baltimore, MD

Just like a good movie, when copy touches the emotions of your reader they will flow with the story and enter into it on their own . . . open and unresistant.

Is It a“Cost” or an Investment?

If you're serious about turning your copy into magnetic messages that speak . . . from the heart to the heart . . . and convert your readers into customers . . .

An investment that empowers your future, an investment earmarked to produce a recurring return, an investment that's actually not spent, because it returns over and over again in the form of financial growth — and a future of your messages not getting round-filed or deleted, but opened and read because they connect.
