KICKSTART YOUR SMALL BUSINESS WITH BRILLIANT ADVERTISING


Every small business needs advertising to succeed. You may have the
best product, the best service, the best price, but unless you let
potential customers know about it, your business will never get off the
ground.


This book is to help with businesses that are physical and tangible,
not ones that are exclusively conducted online, so if you only want to
work online, this book is not for you. What I write will help you
kickstart any business such as in retail, service, manufacturing,
importing, business to business, or wholesale.


I have operated my own small businesses that mostly made me good money,
but a couple of them failed. (Good experience, but OUCH it hurts.) One
of those small businesses became very big - international in fact - and
through all this experience I have learned the hard way what works and
what does not when it comes to advertising. I have seen so much money
wasted on misdirected or totally ineffective advertising that I knew it
was time to write this book.


What an ordinary website!

You might look at my style on this page and think "If he's an
advertising expert, why does his website look so ordinary?" The answer
is simple - I know that you are looking for information, so that is
what I am giving you.


Do you really want to be impressed with my web design skills or do you
want to know if this book is going to help you? Do you think it has to
be worth more if I throw in free extras that any web entrepreneur can
get free of charge so they can pad their offers? Do you want facts or
fluff before deciding whether to spend your money?


I am not only giving you the facts, I am giving you true value for
money.


EXAMPLE 1: On page 30, I deal specifically with the subject of using
advertising agents or doing it yourself. Advertising agents will hate
me for what I write there. Why? Because I show you in very simple
language why you can do without them.


EXAMPLE 2: On page 6, I explain why a lot of Yellow Pages advertising
is absolutely wasted money. Once you read this you will see the point
and not fall into the trap with the encouragement of the Yellow Pages
rep and other "experts".


EXAMPLE 3: On page 10, I show how to ensure that people will even open
un-addressed mail - you know: "TO THE HOUSEHOLDER". Nobody opens them
right? Wrong! Your mail will be opened if you follow my advice.


These few examples should be enough to show you that what you are
buying in this book is real life, down to earth, practical, and
effective. But just in case you still have doubts I have included below
the full contents list from my book. 36 pages of helpful, genuine
information that can help make the difference between life and death
for your small business.

Please note that page numbers may change as I make revisions from time
to time. If any revisions are substantial I will forward them to you,
even if it is a year or more after you buy the book. I want your small
business to succeed, and advertising is a crucial factor.

What our book buyers say:

"I didn't know where to start, but your book made sense of it all -
GREAT!" Jason

"Some great ideas I would never have thought of. Thanks." Suzie

"Your Yellow Pages info is brilliant. Makes average Yellow Pages ads
look pointless, but with your info I know I will get the calls." Alex

"We already tried your advice on 'Warm Calling' and have the orders
to prove that it works. WOW!" Nicki and Tim

"You have saved me hundreds of $$$ by warning where I might waste
money." Jay

Well, now you know exactly what you are getting for your money, it is
time for me to close the sale............... OOPS! - there goes another
advertising secret. But after all, I am trying to teach you how to
advertise and get results. You should always include a call to action
such as: "Call now - Get an immediate quote - Buy now - Email now -
Pick up that phone before it's too late - Fill in the order form and
mail today - Call your friendly widget expert today - Place your ½
price order now - Contact us today for exceptional service."

My call to action is to suggest that you hit the "Buy Now" button, but
BEFORE YOU DO...... (I just broke an important rule. I should not let
anything distract you from ordering my book right now.) ....... I want
you to know that I am so sure that I am offering real value for money
in a world of mass produced e-books written by people who have no real
- life experience, that I offer a full refund within 60 days if you
think this book is not worth every penny.

When you download the book you will find my contact details. If you are
not satisfied, simply email me at the address shown in the book and I
will make the refund as quickly as humanly possible.

Now, please go straight to that Buy Now button and order the best value
book you will ever find on the internet for only $50.

Best wishes for the success of your small business,

Harrison T Medway
