Do You Have What it takes to Telecommute?
© 2007 Leslie Truex
If you have wanted to be hired to work from home, the options for you are endless. Today nearly 23% of the workforce works from home at least part time. However, there are characteristics and work habits that you must have if you are going to be successful. Before you quit your regular job to take a work-at-home job, make sure you have what it takes to telecommute:
1) Do you have a skill or talent? Companies that use telecommuters are not looking home workers per se. All they care about is finding someone who has the skills and experience to do the job that needs to be done. So, how fast can you type? Are you accurate? Can you write? Do you have phone skills? Are you experienced using bookkeeping software? In essence, what skills do you have to give to a company?
2) Do you have the resources? While some companies will provide you with equipment and services, many won't. Do you have a computer with high-speed Internet access? Do you have landline phone service? Do you have basic word processing and spreadsheet programs? Do you have the equipment, services and resources to do the job you want to?
3) Are you reliable? Are you able to deliver the work at the quality expected in the time frame needed? This means if your child is sick, you can't just slack off and work whenever. Instead you need to stay up late or get up early to meet the deadline. Work-at-home employees need to operate with the same professionalism as any other employees.
4) Are you self-motivated and able to work independently? There are hundreds of distractions when working at home. The laundry, Oprah, kids, neighbors, the couch for a nice nap, etc. There is no boss standing behind you to make sure you are getting the work done. Its up to you schedule time to work and to get it done in a timely manner.
5) Would you hire you? Before you answer that question, really think about it. If you were the owner of a business that needed to hire help, would you hire someone who had your work ethic or skills? If you are someone who chats a lot by the water cooler or does just enough to get by, you probably wouldn't want to hire someone like you. If that is the case, you need to change your ways. Working at home gives you a great deal of flexibility and freedom, but its still a job in which someone is paying you to provide quality work to your best ability.
Telecommuting
has been the perfect solution to balancing
work and family for me; however, it does have its challenges. Not
everyone is
suited to working with the lack of structure and routine that comes
with
working at home. Before you take the leap into telecommuting, make sure
you
have what it takes to succeed.

How To Write A Sales Letter
By Thomas OkiHere is a step by step guide on writing a winning sales letter. Follow these procedures and you will have a letter that will boost your sales, no matter what you are selling.
Step 1: Start with a strong headline
The headline is the most important aspect of the letter, and it must be in bold, large, eye-catching print. It must also be compelling enough to make the reader continue reading. Write at least 50 headlines, show them to colleagues, and pick the one that seems strongest.
Step 2: Write the copy
Work on the body of the letter, and make it personal and friendly, as if you are talking to a good friend. Include a good story in the copy. This is very important. Everyone loves a good story, and this is the perfect way to draw the reader in. If you are writing a letter for an acne product, talk about how you once had really bad acne and were embarassed to go to social events, etc. or whatever.
Step 3: Create at least 1 or 2 bulleted lists
People read bullet points. So make a list of the main benefits of your product, and create your list. Emphasize how the product will benefit the buyer, (do not just list features). Include this list in the main copy to break up the text and create variety.
Step 4: Use testimonial boxes
Gather testimonials for your product. You can do this by offering the product for free to a number of people, in return for their feedback. Then put these testimonials in colored boxes, and sprinkle them in over the body of the text. Testimonials are very powerful and lend credibility to your claims.
Step 5: At the end, slap on a guarantee
People love guarantees, and they have been shown to increase the number of sales. The best ones are 60 or 90-day money back guarantees.
Step 6: Create urgency and a call to action
This should also come toward the end. Tell the reader you only have 100 copies left of your book, or whatever. You must include something that compels the reader to buy now, not next week.
Step 7: Include FREE bonuses
Everyone loves getting more than what they paid for. Include at least 2 or 3 bonuses at the end, and make sure they are valuable things that somebody would normally pay money for.
That's it! Make sure you reread the letter, get feedback, and check all grammar and spelling. Writing a good sales letter is a skill and your first few attempts might not produce the best results. Keep improving your sales letter, and test different versions to see if you can improve the response rate (this is called split-testing). And finally, read lots of sales letters written by other people. Save the ones that are so good they got you to buy. The best way to learn is to dissect what the pros are doing.
