			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Quickly, about the big announcement: tomorrow I&#8217;ll be running a special sale that will last for a limited time only.  So make sure you watch for tomorrow&#8217;s e-mail and hop on this right away.</p>
<p>Now for today&#8217;s message&#8230;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a great remedy for hiccups I&#8217;ve used for years, and I&#8217;ll tell you about it in just a minute.  But first let&#8217;s talk about copywriting hiccups.</p>
<p>There are a couple of specific things that get in your way when you&#8217;re writing, that you must overcome if you want to create compelling copy that&#8217;s going to sell.  And here&#8217;s how to conquer these hiccups.</p>
<p>1. Unplug.  Get rid of any pre-conceived notions about things you can and can&#8217;t say, and instead, just write.  Writing, whether you know it or not, is like any other creative art.</p>
<p>Could you imagine a sculptor or a sketch artist or a musician, sitting down to create, with all these do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts lingering in the back of their mind?  How much could the end result of this possibly move you?</p>
<p>How compelling can a piece of art developed under these constraints possibly be?</p>
<p>Right?</p>
<p>So unplug and let loose when you&#8217;re writing.  Don&#8217;t hold back.  Let it all out and then clean it up later when you edit.</p>
<p>2. Be excited!  Nothing turns your prospects on, more than energy and enthusiasm, and nothing repels them more than lethargy and boredom.</p>
<p>Passion is contagious, so make sure you&#8217;re excited about what you&#8217;re doing because it comes across, for sure&#8230; believe me.</p>
<p>Just think about how pumped up you get when you meet someone who&#8217;s energetic!  Well, this same energy comes across when you write, so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>O.K.?</p>
<p>Good, now here&#8217;s that remedy for hiccups.  Next time you get them, try swallowing a teaspoon of vinegar.  I have been doing this for years, on those rare times when I do get the hiccups, and it&#8217;s never failed me yet.</p>
<p>I have no idea why this works, nor am I interested, but it&#8217;s as reliable as a Swiss watch, so try it next time.</p>
<p>See, you get a little bit of everything here in the Kingdom.</p>
<p>Now go sell something, Craig</p>
