"How To Effortlessly Sweep Your Spouse Off Her Feet -- Wine Her And Dine Her - And Make Her Wonder Who The Great Imposter Is - All For Less Than $16."
You might write about properly preparing for the occasion in advance -- how to be sure you have a baby sitter lined up for the kids, no guests stopping by unexpectedly, your entire menu planned out, etc...
You may write about how important it is to have her favorite fresh flowers and her favorite music playing when she arrives home... Setting The MOOD!
You might discuss the benefits to including a "special" little present that you know she's mentioned wanting recently...
You can include tips on how to dress for the occasion -- why putting on a shirt and tie would really impress her and show her how serious you are about the special occasion...
You can mention how to properly set the table with candles and fresh fruit, what types of wines go best with what dishes, some delicious romantic "finger foods" you can prepare, and how to layout the table settings perfectly...
And finally, you can mention how important it is to prepare the perfect meal for the occasion...
And here's the sales pitch: Every article you write can include a "resource box" at the end of the article. A resource box is basically a few lines of text that provides a little "snapshot" about the author of the article. This resource box also allows you to include a subtle "PLUG" about you, your website, your newsletter, etc.
It's extremely important not to abuse your resource box with blatant plugs and sales pitches. It's also extremely important that you NOT try to sell anything directly from your article content. Just write a quality, informative article and that's it!
When preparing your resource box, you'll want to do so in the third person context. For example, if I were to write the article above, I would include a resource box at the end of the article something like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About The Author: Carson Danfield is a cooking enthusiast and self proclaimed romantic. His website at mywebsite.com offers simple yet delicious recipes for creating the perfect meal on a fixed budget. Carson's Free E-course "Cookie Cutter Cooking" is jam packed with tips and techniques for the cooking enthusiast. Subscribe for FREE by sending a blank email to: mailto:cooking@myautoresponder.com or at mywebsite.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you see why that resource box is so powerful?
Now you know how to write an article about how to "WOW" your mate with a nice romantic evening, included dozens of helpful tips to accomplish the task, gave specific instructions (just like the title promised), and closed with a paragraph about the importance of cooking up a great meal to top off the evening.
Now... when someone reads your resource box, it explains how they can visit your website and find all sorts of delicious recipes. Because they were interested enough to read your article, they now understand how equally important the "perfectly prepared meal" is to the occasion.
Do you think they'll click through from one of the links in the resource box to the website? Absolutely!
Plus... If they're already a "Master Chef", they also have the option to easily (with just a blank email sent by clicking on the link) sign up for a FREE e-course.
Here are 5 ways to not only find something to talk about, but also find a profitable topic as well.
1. Ask questions. Ask your potential audience what they want to know. A simple ASK campaign is the fastest way to get a lot of questions on your topic. It's also a great way to judge whether or not a topic will sell. After all, if you can get people to ask questions, then you'll be able to get them to listen to the answers.
On the other hand, if you can't get any questions on the topic, then it is not likely to "sell" as a teleseminar topic.
Once you have your questions, then look for the themes. And turn these themes into the top ten questions asked. Given that, it's easy to craft your sales letter to highlight the ten topics you'll discuss on the call.
2. Watch the news in your field. You may want to set up a Google alert that keeps you informed of the latest news on your topic. Watch the discussion forums to see what people are discussing. You'll quickly pick up on the hot topics.
Now it's just a matter of deciding whether you want to set up an ASK campaign to get the questions or set up an interview with an expert to answer the questions. But you'll know it will "sell", since it's already been identified as a hot topic.
3. Look for experts in your field and interview them. Everyone loves the idea of getting insider tips from the experts. So look for those experts you would most like to hear from and request an interview.
Most likely once you've settled on the topic you want to interview them on, they will send a list of questions you can ask on the interview. But don't be afraid to ask additional questions or questions to clarify their answers. That's what makes an interview interesting - those little nuggets the host is able to pull out of the expert.
4. Look for problems. Listen to the conversations your colleagues have to see what's bugging them. Watch the discussion forums see what topics come up again and again. What problems never seem to be solved?
Look for solutions to these common problems. Research and find answers to present in a teleseminar format. That can even be the start of a product, based on the teleseminar.
5. You pick the topic. You're already an expert in your field. You know what questions people ask. You know what they need to know to be successful in the field. Just list the topics, then create a teleseminar series. Your first teleseminar might be the "survey course," which covers all of the topics at a very shallow depth. Then offer a paid series that goes into each topic in depth. Not only will you have an excellent home study course, but you'll also be serving your clients by providing the information you know they need.
If you ever find yourself asking "what can I talk about," just review this list for immediate ideas. You'll never run out of topics again.
