“I’ll save over $6,000 from this one loophole…”

“Thank you for the great tax-saving strategies you’ve helped me to use in my business. Just one simple suggestion saved me $2,295 in taxes my first year. I never would have thought of this strategy on my own. I’ve been able to utilize this same technique year after year — and this year I’ll save over $6,000 from this one loophole.”

— Gary Ritter, Mid-West Mortgage Corp.

Dear Small Business Owner or Self-Employed Person:

The tax burden of the Sole Proprietor is staggering.

According to conservative estimates, small business owners and the self-employed are overpaying their taxes by $160 billion every year.

A statistic like that can mean only one thing to you:

You overpaid your taxes, too!

My name is Wayne M. Davies, author of The Tax Reduction Toolkit. I’ve been helping small business owners and self-employed people pay less tax for the past 15 years, and I’m here to tell you that you are entitled to your share of that $160 billion pot of taxpayer gold.

Everybody knows that the wealthy have been using fancy tax-reduction schemes for decades. With enough high-paid tax attorneys, any “fat cat” can get away with paying no tax at all.

But what about the average, middle-class small business owner? What about the self-employed person who is just starting out and who doesn’t have an extra 5 or 10 grand to spend on complicated tax-avoidance strategies and exorbitant tax consulting fees?

So, what can you do to reduce your taxes, without spending an arm and a leg?

And what can you do to protect yourself from the onslaught of frivolous, time-consuming and potentially business-ending lawsuits that clutter our court systems today?

The answer is simple: Incorporate your business for free.

Perhaps you’ve heard that advice before. And perhaps you’ve thought, “Yeah, I should look into that.” But you’ve stopped short. You’ve hesitated. You didn’t follow through, for any number of reasons.

Maybe you thought it would cost too much to incorporate: lawyer fees, filing fees, and the like.

Maybe you thought it would be too time-consuming, too much hassle, too much paperwork: forms, forms and more forms!

And now you’re back where you started, wondering (again), “Is it worth it? Are the advantages of incorporating really worth it?”

Or maybe you have incorporated your small business but are wondering, “Did I make the right choice of entity?” (In case you didn’t know, there are 3 (yup, three) different types of corporations, and each one is taxed very differently!)

So even if you already formed a corporation, how do you know you picked the one that enables you to pay the least amount of tax?

Perhaps this story will help you decide.

A Tale of Two Small Business Owners: Why Some Self-Employed People Pay Thousands Less In Taxes Than Others

As Tom pulled into his driveway, he was annoyed at himself.

He found himself doing it again, and he didn’t like it.

Yet, he seemed compelled to do it anyway. It’s just that if anyone knew what he was doing, he would really be embarrassed. After all, who looks at his neighbor’s garbage all the time?

Tom reached up to his visor, and pushed the square button on the garage door opener. He was lost in thought as the garage door slowly moved up. He pulled the car in and had to navigate to get the car in without hitting his wife’s car or the bikes that were sloppily thrown in.

He pushed the door opener again as he climbed out of the car, and couldn’t help but glance out toward the neighbor’s house. The last thing he saw as the door moved toward the concrete floor, was the pile of trash.

He opened the door to the house, and was greeted by Becky. She was just getting home herself. She still had her raincoat on, as she was leafing through the mail.

“Hi, Babe,” said Tom as he kissed her on the cheek. He took his coat off and as he was throwing it on the back of the barstool he asked, “You know, I’m embarrassed to ask this, but have you ever noticed the Jacobson’s garbage?”

Becky had a silly look on her face. She replied, “Well, actually, uh, now that you mention it, yeah, I have. Are you talking about all the boxes from all the new stuff they buy?”

“Yes. I hate to even admit this, but I can’t help noticing they seem to always have new appliances, or furniture, or whatever, for themselves and the kids. I don’t want to sound nosy or anything, but I know Richard’s business makes about the same as mine. You notice they also go on vacations a lot, and they sent Conner to Northwestern University? How do they do it?”, Tom mused.

Becky was wondering the same thing. Actually, she was curious why so many of their Business Owner friends lived so differently. Some better, some worse. And even though she knows there are some unusual circumstances, it just doesn’t add up. How do Business Owners like the Jacobson’s do so much better?

“He must make a lot more than we think,” Tom rationalized, as he headed for the refrigerator.

******

No, Tom. It turns out that Richard Jacobson doesn’t make more money than you do. In fact, Richard and Tom, these two typical Small Business Owners, own very similar businesses that bring in about the same amount of money every year.

And when you compare the overhead expenses of these two businesses, again, things are pretty much the same.

There is really only one major difference between Richard’s business and Tom’s business. Only one item that accounts for Richard having so much more profit than Tom does every year — and that one area is TAXES!

I’ve seen it time and time again in my 15 year career. I call it “The Tale of Two Small Business Owners.” They have the same amount of money coming in and about the same amount of money going out — except for taxes.

Tom is The Typical Business Owner. He pays his taxes with anger and resentment, not realizing that there is a better way.

Then there’s Richard, who is hardly The Typical Business Owner. He is The Rare Exception. He has learned how to squeeze more juice out of his financial orange, so to speak.

He has discovered that there are little known techniques to make the money we all work so hard for, go farther than it normally does.

A lot farther!

You see, about 6 years ago, Richard incorporated his business. And about 6 years ago, Tom thought about forming a corporation, but decided it was too much hassle. So Tom has continued to operate his business as a Sole Proprietorship, while Richard operates his business as a corporation.

And that has made all the difference. Tens of thousands of dollars of difference.

******

You see, the education we all get as American Business Owners is sorely lacking in one area. Yet, it is an area that, next to our health, is really at the top of the list of importance.

Sure. We’re talking about your money. And how to make sure you get to keep as much of it as is legally possible. We’re talking about TAXES — and how to beat the Tax Man at his own game!

When you think about it, when in high school, or college, or even graduate school, did we learn how to legally reduce the amount of taxes we pay to the government?

Which course prepared us for dealing with business taxes?

I can’t remember any useful information about this even being discussed. Can you?

But you can go to the library now and find a whole shelf full of books on small business tax reduction strategies. Or just go to “google” or “yahoo” and do some research online — again, you’ll find a boatload of resources.

But where do you start?

There are so many ways to legally reduce your business taxes, where do you begin?

You begin by focusing on the one small business tax reduction strategy that stands head and shoulders above all the rest: Incorporate your small business.

If you are going to implement just one technique to lower your taxes, this is the one you should start with. Forming a corporation can save you more money than every other tax strategy combined. Why do you think so many corporations exist?

That’s why I’ve compiled my complete collection of tax secret ebooks into one giant compilation that will give you every tax break you need to keep more of your money. I call it…

“This guy really knows his stuff…”

“This book is unlike anything I ever seen. It’s written in plain English — no technical or accounting gobbledygook….just excellent information you can use immediately. I believe anyone who operates a business online (or offline) can understand the tax saving methods covered here. I personally talked with Wayne for 30 minutes on the phone and absolutely grilled him about how and why a sole proprietor would need this information. His answers not only gave me some tax-saving ideas I never thought of before, but proved to me that this guy really knows his stuff!”

And finally, show you the little-known secrets of reducing taxes sharply for any small business owner

Starting with the basics (the good stuff every small business owner can use to drastically reduce their tax payments), you get my first ebook kit…

Volume # 1: The Tax Reduction Toolkit 29 Little-Known Legal Loopholes That Will Reduce Your Taxes By Thousands! (For Small Business Owners & Self-Employed People Only!)

Aren’t you just fed up with the outrageous amount of tax you have to fork over to the IRS? (not to mention your state and local government!) Income taxes, payroll taxes, sales taxes, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, excise taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes — when will it ever end?

What do you think? The never-ending list of taxes is just that!!! IT’S A NEVER-ENDING LIST!!! IT WILL NEVER END — the IRS has been given the license to legally “steal” your money year after year.

Sure, there are some good things that our tax dollars are used for — things like our public education system, national defense, keeping our streets safe at night, etc.

But don’t you think the IRS has gone a little too far? I sure do. And the only way I know to “beat the system” — legally — is to take advantage of the many “legal loopholes” that are there for you to use. You just have to know what those loopholes are and how to use them.

You work hard for you money. Why just sit there and let the IRS take it away? It’s time for you to do something about the IRS’s “legalized theft.”

In fact, it doesn’t really take much information to save a lot of money in taxes. It is true: Just A Little Bit Of Tax Knowledge Can Save You Thousands Of Dollars Every Year!

But you are trying to run a business. You’re not supposed to know everything about taxes and dealing with the IRS. As a smart business owner, you need to find someone to be “on your side” who does know about taxes and who can help you when dealing with the IRS.

The tax laws can be incredibly complicated to understand, especially for the Small Business Owner like yourself. How can you be expected to run your business AND keep up with all the tax rules and regulations? That’s just not possible. If you are not a full-time Tax Professional, you’ll run yourself ragged trying to become a “tax expert”.

That’s why over the years I’ve discovered many tax-saving strategies that will reduce your tax bill each and every year. These “strategies” are not difficult to understand, nor are they hard to implement.

These tax-slashing techniques are not exclusively reserved for the “rich and famous” who can afford expensive tax lawyers to “finagle” complicated tax-avoidance schemes.

No, I’m not talking about anything illegal or even the least bit “shady.” I’m taking about simple methods that are well within reach of the “average middle-class” Small Business Owner. In fact, many of these strategies are available to all taxpayers regardless of how much money you make.

And I’ve helped literally dozens of “real live” Small Business Owners to successfully use these strategies.

Take my client Gary, for example . . . Listen to what Gary has to say about how much money he has saved just in the past three years.

“I’ll save over $6,000 from this one loophole…”

— Gary Ritter, Mid-West Mortgage Corp.

How would you like to save over $6,000 dollars this year from one simple strategy? And as Gary continues to use this strategy year after year, he will continue to save $6,000 each and every year. That’s over $30,000 in 5 years; $60,000 in 10 years!!!

What could you do with an extra $6,000 in your pocket? Pay off some debts? Expand your business? Purchase some much needed equipment? Or just give yourself a “raise” and take a vacation with your family?

Here’s another example of the way my strategies have helped a local Small Business Owner:

“Wayne saved us $3,700 this year with two simple suggestions…”

“Over the past year, Wayne has found and made recommendations that have resulted in some very real tax savings. I take pride in understanding many accounting principles and a healthy measure of tax law. However, Wayne saved us $3,700 this year with two simple suggestions. I wasn’t aware of one of them; the other I didn’t think of, and I wouldn’t have until too late. I don’t recall our previous accountant coming up with anything, in almost three years.”

— Dennis J. Malott, Adaptive Design & Development Corporation

And here’s one more:

“You showed me how to save $2,000 in taxes on just one tax strategy alone…”

“I just wanted to drop a quick note of thanks for all of your help to minimize taxes. In such a complicated tax world, you showed me how to save $2,000 in taxes on just one tax strategy alone. No other tax professional has taken the time to show these tax saving opportunities for my company. It’s nice to know that I can run my business and not have to worry about the “tax” side of my business. I look forward to learning more strategies for tax savings in the future. Keep up the great job!”

— Ron Schmucker, Advantage Insurance Services Corp

This is my easy-to-understand explanation of the 29 best tax-saving strategies I know. These are the same strategies that my clients (like Gary, Dennis and Ron) have used to save $2,000 or $2,295 or $3,700 or even $6,000 EACH AND EVERY YEAR!!!

In this eBook I give to you the best ways I know to legally reduce your taxes. Nothing complicated. Nothing “shady”. Nothing that will confuse you or keep you up at night worrying.

MOST SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE NOT USING EVEN A SMALL FRACTION OF ALL THE “LOOPHOLES” OUT THERE!

In fact, many Small Business Owners don’t even know what the loopholes are!

Once you’ve read through this book , you’ll know more about how to reduce your taxes than 99.9% of all the Small Business Owners in this country!

Here’s just a sample of the tax-saving “secrets” revealed in my book:

What is the EASIEST way for a Business Owner/Self-Employed Person like you to lower your taxes? The answer is so simple it will shock you. Implementing this strategy is easy, and will save you thousands in taxes immediately.

Are you paying yourself the “right way” or the “wrong way”? Business Owners are notorious for mishandling the way they pay themselves. Without even realizing it, you are probably paying too much in taxes simply because of the way you compensate yourself!!! Fix this mistake and your tax bill automatically decreases.

Did you know there is a way to turn non-deductible personal medical expenses into a legitimate business expense? My Toolkit reveals how to do this. Plain and simple, and perfectly legal. You’ve probably been missing out on this deduction for years. Find out how to deduct what most people assume are non-deductible personal medical expenses.

Are you deducting personal travel expenses, like vacations? Did you know you can legally deduct your vacation expenses as a business expense? Find out how and reduce your taxes every year.

How much money are you wasting on your Retirement Plan each year? How much do you spend each year to provide a retirement plan for yourself? Why not offer a plan that is literally free? And I mean FREE!!! No cost at all to either yourself or your employees!

Do you know how to convert TAXABLE income into NON-TAXABLE income? This is probably the most overlooked “tax break” on the books. Few people use it. You can!!

You’ll find the answers to each of these questions in my eBook. And once you open “29 Little-Known Legal Loopholes That Will Reduce Your Taxes By Thousands” you will look at taxes totally different! (And believe me, it will be for the better.)

“Thanks for giving me thousands of dollars…”

Wayne, I thought this stuff would be tricky, hard to follow, or simply something I couldn’t find the time to do. Boy, was I ever wrong! Not only do you explain it in easy to understand terms, but you can make it so darned easy to save big time on my taxes. Thanks to your help, I saved $4,600 and I’m going to be able to take a really nice family vacation this year — all because of your materials, all from the money I normally would have paid on taxes. Thanks for giving me thousands of dollars!”

Volume # 2: Incorporation Tax Secrets Revealed How To Save Thousands In Taxes After Incorporating Your Business: The Ultimate Small Business Tax Reduction Strategy

How do I know for sure that my business is better off as a corporation than a Sole Proprietorship?

Why not just remain a Sole Proprietor? Why not “keep it simple”?

My ebook explains exactly why a Sole Proprietorship is such a dangerous entity to own.

After reading this ebook, you’ll wonder why you ever operated as a Sole Proprietor, regardless of what kind of business you own or what your income is.

How do I know for sure that my business is better off as a corporation than a Partnership?

Aren’t there situations when a Partnership is a viable business entity?

My ebook explains exactly why a Partnership can be twice as dangerous as a Sole Proprietorship — a business entity to avoid like the plague.

There are so many choices — Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, and several types of corporations: “C” Corporation, “S” Corporation, and Limited Liability Company (LLC).

Get this ebook and get un-confused about the Choice of Entity decision, once and for all.

My ebook gives you the whole scoop on the “Choice of Entity” issue. You’ll discover which entities are “good” entities and which ones are “bad” entities. Which ones to consider seriously and which ones to avoid.

You’ll get clear direction on how to narrow down the choices — in easy-to-understand Plain English. No technical gobbledy-gook. No legal mumbo jumbo.

Yes, not all corporations are created equal! There are 3 entities that provide limited liability. Which one should you be?

My ebook helps you make that decision — and you better believe that this is an incredibly important decision!

Forming a corporation may be a “no-brainer.” But forming the “right” kind of corporation is often a complicated decision involving a multitude of factors.

“This book is worth an easy $5,000”

I am really steamed. Neither my attorney nor my accountant bothered to tell me I was wasting my money simply because I had the “wrong” type of corporation for my needs. If I just take that “extra” tax I’ve been paying and put it into my retirement account, I’ll have an additional $232,000. Anyone can do the same. This ebook is worth an easy $5,000 to anyone who has or wants to get into business.

How to save thousands by legally shifting your business income to other family members in lower tax brackets. This strategy alone is worth a small fortune.

How to avoid the dreaded “double taxation” of corporate profits . Many Sole Proprietors avoid the corporation for fear of paying tax twice on their business profit. When you find out how easy it is to avoid the “double whammy”, you’ll be amazed!

How to use a corporation to legally reduce your employment taxes by 40% or more . Sole Proprietors and Partnerships often pay twice as much employment taxes as Corporation owners.

“These strategies saved me $3,728 this year”

I can’t believe you are finally ‘spilling the beans’, Wayne! The strategies revealed here are the same ones that saved me $3,728 in taxes this year. Thanks for making complicated tax rules so easy to understand and implement.

— Jeff Rife, Rife Insurance Inc. http://www.rifeinsurance.com

This is truly . . .

The Only Plain English Guide To Saving Thousands In Taxes By Forming A Corporation . . . for small business owners, home-based business owners, part-time business owners, sole proprietors and the self-employed.

“This book will reduce my taxes by $3,360 next year alone”

I thought it was impossible, but Wayne has done it. He’s written a book on incorporating that is actually interesting, simple, easy to read, and best of all — you can use the information immediately. This is just what all small business owners need. I expect this to save me at least $3,360 in taxes next year alone.

— Eric Owens, Nashua, NH Co-founder, http://www.internettaxhelper.com

If you’ve wondered “Is it really worth forming a corporation?” — this ebook will . . .

a) Explain exactly why the answer to that question is undeniably “YES!”

and

b) Help you decide which type of corporation is best for you: regular “C” Corporation, “S” Corporation, or Limited Liability Company.

But what if you’ve already formed a corporation or LLC?

Be not dismayed . . . . This ebook is for you, too!

How do you know you picked the “right” kind of corporation for your particular situation? How do you know whether you should switch to one of the other types? My ebook will help you figure this out!

Bonus #1: One free “Choice of Entity Analysis” Certificate ($195 value)

At least once a week I receive an email like this: “Dear Wayne: I just started a business and I’m wondering whether I should incorporate. How do I know which business entity type is best for me? Please advise.”

My answer is always the same disclaimer-laden response: “It all depends.” It depends on a long list of factors that must be reviewed by an experienced tax professional.

After you read my ebook, you may have questions and you may need some help sorting it all out.

That’s what the Choice of Entity Analysis will do for you. I’ll review the details of your particular situation and give you an in-depth answer to the Choice of Entity question. I’ll tell you which legal entity results in the greatest tax savings, and I’ll explain to you the whole process of making the switch from one entity to another (if a switch is advisable).

Believe me, making a change in your Choice of Entity ain’t nearly as painful and costly as Uncle Fred (or some other well-intentioned, self-proclaimed “tax expert”) may have told you. In fact, forming a corporation, or changing from one type of corporation to another, will usually result in tax savings that far exceed any out-of-pocket cost.

In fact, I’ve worked with hundreds of small business owners who “made the switch” from one entity to another, and the end result was always the same: the tax savings was so great that, in effect, there was no out-of-pocket expense.

Make no mistake, this is . . .

The Ultimate Plain English Guide To Incorporating

I spell it out for you in easy-to-follow language that anyone can understand. No technical gobbledy-gook, no legal mumbo jumbo. You’ll read it and you’ll know what to do. Period.

End the confusion about what it means to incorporate. Stop being frustrated by the complicated legal-ese you find in many how-to-incorporate books.

Do not be misled by those who say how difficult it is to form a corporation. If you’ve heard how hard it is to incorporate Well, my friend, you heard wrong! It just isn’t that difficult, believe me.

In Any U.S. State

It doesn’t matter where you live as long as you live in one of the 50 United States (as well as the District of Columbia), — I’m going to show you exactly how to form a corporation in every state in the country.

Via Free Online Resources

I show you exactly where to get the forms you need to incorporate and these forms are not going to cost you one cent! That’s right I not only explain how to incorporate, but I also show you where and how to obtain all the necessary paperwork at no charge whatsoever.

Yes, when you submit the incorporation paperwork, you do have to pay a state filing fee. There is no way to avoid that. But the forms themselves are free.

ell researched, easy to read, step by step guide

Wayne, Congratulations, you’ve done it again! How To Incorporate Yourself For Free is an incredibly well researched, easy to read, truly simplified, step by step guide that any type of small business owner or prospective owner who is considering the self incorporation route should definitely get their hands on. Excellent Job! PS. The state-by-state free resource links are like icing on the cake, saving the reader untold hours of potentially frustrating research time.

— Jeff Steffens, www.Home-Biz-Warrior.com

All By Yourself

You don’t have to pay a lawyer hundreds or thousands of dollars to file the paperwork for you. You can do it yourself. After you read my guide and see how easy it is, you’ll be amazed that lawyers charge as much as they do for this service.

If you are a do-it-yourself-er then you’ll love this guide!

If you prepare your own income tax return then forming a corporation will be a piece of cake! I guarantee it.

Forming a corporation is without a doubt one of the best things you can do for yourself, your business, and your family. You’ll protect your personal assets from lawsuits and you’ll save thousands in taxes.

Maybe you already knew that but have been putting it off because of those obstacles I mentioned earlier the cost and the complexity.

Well, with my guide in your hands, you’ll finally be able to overcome those obstacles you won’t have to pay a lawyer a small fortune and you’ll have my simple step-by-step instructions to guide you.

Assuming that you could find a lawyer to do the incorporation paperwork for $500, with my help you’ll be able to take care of it for a fraction of that cost. And in some areas, lawyers charge even more — $700, $800, $900, even $1,000 or more.

For less than the cost of dinner for two, I can be on the way to incorporating my business.

I would have had to research hours to find the information and resources needed to incorporate, but saved a lot of time (and money) just reading this book. It’s written like he’s talking to ME with all the steps and links to the paperwork laid out. This book does what he says it will do, it’s in plain English, covers every state, and I now have the confidence to do this myself.

— Tamieka Ruiz, store.regalosgiftsandmore.com

As an added bonus, I have assembled these special resources to help you de-mystify the incorporation process:

BONUS #1 — How To Form A Limited Liability Company (LLC) In Any State

Perhaps you’ve heard about the Limited Liability Company, aka the LLC. As the name implies, the LLC is very similar to a corporation in that it, too, provides limited liability and asset protection to the owners.

And many of the same tax advantages available to the corporation are also available to the LLC.

So, if you’ve been thinking about forming an LLC, you came to the right place! I’ve included a special section in How To Incorporate Yourself for Free on how to form an LLC in all 50 states that way, regardless of which entity is best for you, you’ll find the resources you need to get it started right.

BONUS #2 — How To Avoid A Ton of Paperwork by Eliminating Corporate Formalities

After you incorporate, there are any number of very specific procedures you must follow to act like a corporation. If you fail to follow these so-called corporate formalities, you run the risk of having your corporation dismantled by the IRS or the court system and you’ll lose the protection you thought you had all along.

Many states have a little-known procedure that allows you to legally avoid these corporate formalities, saving you lots of paperwork and other bureaucratic headaches.

As an added bonus, I reveal this obscure time-saver in my ebook.

BONUS #3 — How To Handle The Tax Man Without Breaking Into A Sweat

Once you form a corporation or LLC, your business has several new tax requirements that you better take care of! Forming a corporation will protect your assets and reduce your tax bill, but you’ve got to know what tax forms to file so that you don’t run afoul of the government.

In one easy-to-use checklist, I give you the whole scoop on what you’ve got to do tax-wise, now that you’ve incorporated.

If you tried to track down all the info in this checklist on your own, you would spend hours sorting it all out. I give you all this valuable info in one place, in Plain English, so you know exactly what to do tax-wise to keep the government off your back and out of your life.

BONUS #4 — Low-Cost Alternatives To Incorporating By Yourself For Free

Let’s face it, not everyone likes paperwork. And that’s basically what incorporating by yourself is all about — filling out government forms. Well, even if paperwork ain’t your cup of tea, this ebook can still save you a bundle, because I reveal how to slash the cost of incorporation by hundreds of dollars via low-cost alternatives to the “do-it-yourself” approach that still won’t cost an arm and a leg!

BONUS #5 — Free 1-Year Subscription to Wayne’s Small Business Tax Newsletter

Every month you’ll get timely tax-saving tips and tricks — written specifically for the Small Biz Owner / Self-Employed Person — delivered right to your inbox, absolutely free! As a new subscriber, you’ll automatically have access to dozens of tax-slashing strategies revealed in these 3 Special Reports: “How To Instantly Double Your Deductions and Slash Your Taxes To The Bone”, “How To Save Thousands in Taxes by Owning a Small Business”, and “How to Procrastinate Your Way To An Audit-Proof Tax Return.”

And after you’ve incorporated your business, a whole new world of tax breaks will open to you.

So What’s It Gonna Cost You To Get Your Hands On This Complete

Small Business Tax Reduction Guide?

I know you’re probably wondering about the price. And I’m here to tell you that I’m not going to charge you an arm and a leg to give you these tax secrets.

If you were to become one of my tax clients and make an appointment, it would take at least 7 to 10 hours of my time to explain all the tax secrets revealed in these books.

My standard rate for tax consulting starts at $145/hour — so right off the bat I’d have to charge you at least $1,015 or $1,450.

But don’t worry, that’s not the price of “The Ultimate Small Business Tax Reduction Guide”.

Far from it.

I originally considered offering each of the kits for $97 and I still think that’s more than fair, as it’s a 50% discount off my hourly consulting fees.

But currently, I’m selling the products within this kit for $47 each, so you’d have to spend $141 for all 3 volumes separately.

But I really don’t want to limit the number of people who can access this information — so I’m offering this complete package and all of the bonuses at the low introductory price of $97.

Even though this information will slash your taxes by thousands each and every year, I’m willing to “give away the farm” and offer this package at a price that is both “reasonable” and “affordable.”

For the cost of a nice dinner for two, you can finally “get your arms around” a subject that most small business owners only dream of understanding. Finally, you’ll have the same information in your hands that the wealthy have been using for generations to slash their taxes.

And Just Why Is This Package Priced So Reasonably?

I know there are tax-reduction products sold online and offline for hundreds of dollars. (There is a market for every price-point, ya know.)

And perhaps I’ve completely ignored all “common sense” (and the pleading of my wife) by under-pricing this package at an almost ridiculous $97.

But I didn’t want anyone to say “I can’t afford it.”

Plus, I want this to serve as an introduction to me and my business online — in case you are “meeting” me for the first time online.

As corny as this sounds, I’m offering this package at this price because I want to earn your TRUST.

It’s true — again, please pardon the cliché — what goes around comes around. It’s the only way I know how to do business — whenever I over-deliver, I end up coming out way ahead in the long run.

And I want you to believe me when I tell you, I’ll be here (online) for a long time to come.

Of course you understand that $97 is an introductory price — it won’t stay that low forever. I will eventually increase the price — and you’d still be getting a great return on your investment, when you consider that just one tax strategy revealed in this package can be worth $2,000 or $5,000 or $10,000 — year after year after year.

So, you get over 300 pages of tax-saving information — everything you need to put at least $2,000 (or more) in your pocket this year. And you get 2 guarantees that make your purchase a true “no-brainer” —

Guarantee #1:

A Flat-Out, Unconditional, NO-RISK, Iron Clad, 90 Day, No-Questions-Asked, Money-Back Guarantee, Period.

Guarantee #2:

An UNHEARD of — the “RISK’S ON ME” — if my material doesn’t enable you to save at least $2,000 in taxes, I’ll refund your money.

“Wayne’s guarantee (and his advice) can’t be ignored…”

“I was skeptical, too. But Wayne’s guarantee that he can save you $2,000 on your business taxes or your money back can’t be ignored. And neither can his advice. I say quit giving your money to Uncle Sam and start giving it to Uncle You. You earned it, didn’t you? Well, get this book and learn how to keep it!”

— Joe Vitale, #1 Best-Selling Author – “Spiritual Marketing”, http://www.mrfire.com

You Can’t Afford To Walk Away From This Opportunity

What if I’m right? What if following just one of the simple techniques in this 3-volume set reduces your taxes by just $2,000.

And chances are pretty good that once you implement this strategy, you will continue to realize a $2,000 tax savings each and every year you remain in business.

Over the next 5 years, we’re talking about $10,000. Over 10 years, $20,000.

See what I mean by a “no-brainer”?

See how much money you could be losing if you don’t invest in this package?

And if you don’t act now, you are not only walking away from putting $2,000 or $10,000 or $20,000 in your pocket, guess what happens to that money? You are letting Uncle Sam keep that money — money that is really yours if you only knew how to get your hands on it!

If you are applying to UK universities, you will need to write a Personal Statement: “up to 4,000 characters of text that show you’d make a great student “ (UCAS). This can be really difficult for most students, so I hope my experience of the process can help. Feel free to message if I can help in any other way!

Prepare

Begin by starting to think about what you want to tell universities about yourself. Take note of any advice you receive from universities or your teachers about what impresses admissions tutors.

Make notes (maybe a mind-map or a bullet list) of things you could include. Try answering these questions if you’re stuck:

Why is this subject great?

What makes you great for this subject?

What could this subject lead you on to?

What are you currently studying?

What do you find particularly inspiring?

What are you looking forward to studying more?

Any memorable lessons/projects/trips/reading you could discuss?

Do you have relevant work experience/hobbies?

You’re probably a more impressive candidate than you think, so speak to your family, friends, and teachers to remind you what awesome things you do.

Your goal is to be original and memorable without exaggeration, cliché or controversy. You need concrete evidence that shows you have qualities the university is looking for rather than simply saying you have them. Try the STAR technique.

Plan

Think about how you can structure what you want to tell the admissions tutors to best show off yourself. There’s no set rule, but try to group things together to avoid sounding like you’ve written everything down as you thought it.

Some sort of introduction and conclusion is nice, but you do need to be mindful of the very limited character count (see below). There’s no point using up space by repeating your points three times to introduce, develop and conclude. Instead, consider structuring the essay to begin with an overview of the subject, ‘zooming in’ on yourself and where you hope to fit. This way, you can conclude with something personal and hopefully memorable.

If you are applying for a course where candidates will barely be considered without experience (e.g. medicine, education) make sure that is prominent.

Write

Anyone can write “I am a hardworking student who is enthusiastic about [subject]”. Make yourself memorable by proving this: “Because [topic], was so interesting, I [read//wrote//did] [book/journal article//essay/article//project/volunteered] which [thing you learned]”.

They want to see your personality! Use standard English, but don’t worry about being so formal you appear wooden.

If you find getting started hard, write a few sentences with the intention of discarding them. Try opening with “I like [subject] because…” and seeing where it takes you. You can cut this later, but it helps you start.

Write without considering word-counts or grammar or order. You can (and will) edit later anyway, so don’t aim for perfection (yet!).

Edit

After you have a completed draft, you can start editing. Leave plenty of time, as you will probably go through this process several times before your statement feels right. This process has three goals: ensuring it meets the character count, ensuring it makes sense, and ensuring you look good.

Edit on three levels: page, sentence and word. Start by reading through the whole page, considering how it flows and whether there are sections which need moving, shortening or cutting altogether.

Next, look at your sentences and whether they make sense. Sites like Grammarly and Hemmingway can help with this but reading it yourself is also really important. See if you can make sentences shorter by rewording ideas and phrases. Try to vary sentence length and structure.

Then start looking at word choices. Every word should serve you: cut anything which can be lost without changing the meaning. Use strong, specific words to make your points clearly and concisely.

Finally, you can proofread. Use spellcheck or Grammarly, then read it through yourself with a fine-toothed comb.

A Second Opinion

Once you have an edited first draft, pass it on to at least one other person for feedback, ideally a teacher. They will probably suggest edits, but look at these as opportunities to improve rather than criticism. Once you have considered their suggestions and edited again, show them (and/or someone else) your redraft. Repeat until all the feedback is good, then you can upload to UCAS.

Phew, you’re done! Congratulations on getting this far with your studies, and best of luck with your applications!

persona 5 not quite writings, more ramblings/summary of an AU i thought of earlier

high school teacher AU with the PTs but mainly with akira and goro akira is just a standard PE teacher, he loves being outside and encouraging the kids to exercise and all that goro is a teacher teacher that teaches criminal justice then there's the others; ann teaches english, ryuji is another PE teacher but also coaches for the track team, yusuke is an art teacher, haru is an economics teacher but also has like a "garden club" where she has a patch on the school grounds where she helps students grow random plants especially vegetables, futaba is the computer/keyboarding teacher that often has subs for her class but she's there enough for it to be ok, and makoto is a math teacher and helps kids see that math isn't all that bad and also on the side/at another location she teaches self defense courses and some of her students are students there as well anyway akira and the PTs are a whole group of friends and they go out together to hang out and sometimes party, akira often goes on one off dates with each of them and the rest do that as well with each other akira and goro actually started dating over the summer, it took some convincing on akira's part to get goro to go out with him in general, goro was very the "alone teacher", he got along enough with the others but wasn't really friends with them, y'know, but akira pushed him into being friends with his friends, so the friend family gets one more finally when they start dating, akira gets the go ahead from goro to let the others know and they're all super supportive of it and also promise to not spill the beans when school starts so when summer is over and everyone goes back to school, akira starts making it a habit to keep going to visit goro during class, even if it's for a minute or for some errand he was "forced" to run for someone else the kids are smart little shits though, and some get suspicious on why a random PE teacher keeps coming into class to hang out, and they fucking notice the looks and hear the hints akira is a little fucking tease, he could say something that's completely normal but the WAY he says it makes some kids go "...wait, was that a innuendo" goro is embarrassed by it all at first, but he starts having fun with it too, so they end up making a competition about it they start having sass offs and they almost get heated and it's the fucking middle of class and the kids are all "ooooo!!!" at certain responses and shit and it's all one big game goro then starts his own habit of going to visit akira, when he has a free period and nothing to do, he goes outside to where akira is with his kids and sometimes just sits and watches, sometimes he catches akira on a 5 minute break and they just talk, but of course the kids are noticing all this cue the fucking rumors going around school with all the kids and them thinking at first that maybe they hate each other but then thinking "wait, what if they're a couple" "nah, they're just being weird men" and of course some of the kids know that akira and goro are friends with the other teachers from the interactions they spy, so they ask the others if they know anything, but the PT group swear that nothing is going on slight sidetrack, but akira going to harass the others during their classes and some of them going out to talk with him akira helping for a bit with the plants with haru, akira giving some advice to the track team with ryuji, akira going into the studio and asking yusuke very loudly if he should strip and model for the kids (of course he legally can't but some of the kids want it), akira stopping in ann's and makoto's classes to make some teasing remarks about whatever they're currently teaching, akira stopping into futaba's class whenever she's there just to go "OH HEY, YOU'RE ACTUALLY HERE TODAY" goro sometimes goes to sit and have some coffee with makoto and discuss different topics, goro going to help haru with her plants, goro stopping by the studio to compliment the students' work, goro stopping in ann's class and helps for a bit with a certain topic, goro also sometimes watches the track team (sometimes with akira), goro going into futaba's class sometimes to help the sub get control of the kids and sometimes to practice some keyboarding himself anyway, most of the school year goes like this and the kids and just on and off with the rumors and theories about akira and goro and whether or not they're together then during spring break, akira proposes to goro, even though it was a little fast and all, but he feels so confident and so right being with goro (they also moved in together before the xmas break), that he just wants to seal their friendship/relationship properly and of course goro says yes goro debates on wearing his engagement ring when they get back to school cuz the kids will just go crazy about that and ask him a million questions, so instead he keeps it safely in his pocket during school hours akira however is fucking loud and proud and wears his ring no matter what and the kids do question him but he won't tell them anything concrete after about a couple weeks of the kids going crazy over akira's ring and goro's lack of a (visible) ring, akira decides to end this shit once and for all he goes into goro's class one day like usual and sits down off to the side and just watches goro for a while goro is a little suspicious cuz akira seems much happier than usual and he knows that he's up to something, but doesn't want to make a big deal out of it in front of the kids finally at a random point during class when goro isn't talking, akira suddenly gets up and looks at the class and he goes "hey uh, everyone? there's something i want to tell you" and goro's just frozen at his desk and he knows EXACTLY where akira is going and he debates hardcore on whether or not he should stop him, but he knows it's already too late, he has the kids complete attention "so there have been many rumors flying about about a possible relationship between me and mr akechi here. don't think i didn't notice, they've been going on all damn year. well, today i'm here to put a stop to those rumors" the kids are listening so fucking intently and also some of them are already being loud and asking questions, but he quiets them down "ok, ok, so. some of them think that me and mr akechi are dating, like we're an item. and you know what? no, we're not" cue some kids disappointed as fuck but goro is already putting his face in his hands cuz he knows what's coming up "we're engaged actually" cue the kids FUCKING EXPLODING WITH ALL SORTS OF SOUNDS AND YELLING AND SCREAMING AND THEY'RE ALL SO FUCKING HAPPY BUT SO FUCKING CONFUSED AT THE SAME TIME "WAIT, YOU WERE DATING? YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED? WHAT?" akira steps over and makes goro stand up and goro is still covering his face with one hand and his face is so fucking red but he's smiling anyway akira then just smiles at goro and goro rolls his eyes and digs his ring out of his pocket and puts it on and akira holds his hand up to show his AND THE KIDS EXPLODE FUCKING AGAIN haru is the closest to the classroom and she comes in all concerned cuz why the fuck are the kids screaming so much and she sees them standing there with their rings on and she's just "OH! you guys decided to announce it, i'm so happy for you!" and the kids turn to her just "WHAT THE- YOU KNEW?" and akira explains which teachers knew about the two of them and for how long AND THE KIDS ARE SO DONE AT THIS POINT, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK, THEY PLAYED THEM SO HARD word quickly spreads afterwards about it so eventually the whole school knows akira and goro get constantly teased for a week or two straight by the kids "look mr kurusu, your fiance is coming over" "mr akechi, your fiance wants to talk with you" "so are either of you changing your names? are we going to have two 'mr kurusu's or two 'mr akechi's?" "mr akechi, can you ask your fiance to leave the bedroom talk in the bedroom?" (akira "boy, this is not bedroom talk, you would know when i do bedroom talk" goro "oh my god, please stop") backing up a bit, akira takes goro out to dinner the night he made the sudden announcement as an apology, he knew goro would be/was uncomfortable with bringing light to their relationship at school but goro just shakes his head and smiles, saying "i was worried, but once you started, there was no stopping you. besides, even though i did feel that bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, it went away pretty quickly. to see them so happy about us, so happy for us, i just...i almost cried, believe it or not. i'm so lucky to have someone like you and i'm lucky to have such good students. i feel more sure now about our marriage" "what, you were having second thoughts?" "shut up, you know what i mean. i'm happy to get so much support and i'm happy to be with you for the rest of my life" "i'm happy about that too"

#WOW THIS ENDED UP BEING LONG BUT WHOOPS I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS AU NOW HOLY SHIT??#this started as a small thing how did it up like this

Sensitivity Means Passion, Not Weakness

“The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make unlovable, undesirable, or undeserving of care. It doesn’t make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. “ ~Daniell Koepke

A while back, during one of my therapy sessions, I became acquainted with the word “dysthymia.”

I was puzzled at first, but as my therapist dug deeper into the subject, I realized that complex-sounding term was, in fact, a birth name to the grizzly monster that has been shadowing me for years. It’s more commonly known as persistent depressive disorder.

I can’t exactly remember the onset of an extended period when I felt lower than usual. It might have sneaked in unnoticed in my early teens and grown out of proportion since then. It might have been born with me. I have no idea.

All I know is, I’ve had a pervading sense of hopelessness long enough to convince myself that something was wrong. It’s only natural for a child to feel threatened by the world around them. At least that’s how I felt, day in and day out.

I was told it would only be a matter of time until I grew out of it and became a self-assured woman. Well, I’m twenty years old and this day has never come, and I’ll tell you, the old times were paradise. I was lucky to have my parents’ back in every situation, and the thought of loosening my grip on their protection with the passing years was a scary prospect.

Inevitably, I grew up and things didn’t get any easier.

My generalized fear mingled with an endless hunt for the meaning behind words, people’s actions, and even life itself. The existential nature of these questions made it impossible for me to get concrete answers, which overloaded my brain with the untold possibilities, thus fueling an anxiety disorder.

Being an avid gobbler of pills and a depression sufferer herself, my mother suggested that I went to a psychiatrist. As expected, at sixteen I left the doctor’s office with an antidepressant prescription in hand, as I doubted both my sanity and worth.

In a different session, I can recall my therapist drawing a chart of sorts, in order to illustrate my situation: she traced three parallel horizontal lines and named them “euphoria,” “neutrality,” and “depression,” from top to bottom.

She then drew a squiggly line with stable highs and lows, yet mostly focused in the area between depression and neutrality. What that means is I’m bound to feel down most days, with the occasional bout of gloom and/or cheerfulness, depending on the situation. The mood sways aren’t fickle; they’re usually curbed into the same spectrum, but still, sometimes I wish the ups would last longer.

“Don’t worry, that is very common in highly sensitive people,” she said to me. “Now that you’ve named that feeling, it will become easier to deal with.”

At the time, that wasn’t helpful at all. Why did my personality have to be built this way? Would I have to deal with this for the rest of my life? That’s not what I came here for!

I developed an unhealthy habit of comparison, as I envied the life of every extroverted and confident person I knew, even if that meant scrolling through their social media pages (which, let’s face it, makes everyone seem at the top of their game on a daily basis).

For months on end I tried to stick to a fully positive lifestyle. Spoiler alert: I was doing it wrong. It took me a while to recognize that I didn’t have to be happy all the time nor rebuff my icky moments in exchange for a phony, dimmed spark of sunshine. I felt something was missing.

I was in denial. I was rejecting myself, whom I’ll have to spend the rest of my days with whether I want to or not. Little did I know, refusing who I was wouldn’t do anything for me; it would only hinder the process of acceptance.

All I had to do was skew my perspective, bit by bit. And I did, with the help of unexpected sources and events.

Sensitivity Means Passion

During a recent conversation with my brother, I came to the slow realization that I might have underrated what can prove itself to be a powerful attribute.

His girlfriend had broken up with him, and his devastation was painful to watch. However, his main objection was that he felt guilty for “feeling too much while she felt way less.” I could identify with him at that moment.

He would beat himself up and judge his past actions, wishing he could go back and suppress the excess emotion he poured into the relationship. Anyone who’s familiar with him would advise him to never change for a girl, and that the right one would see this supposed “defect” as a major quality.

Being his twin sister, of course we’d share some traits– besides in appearance. And that’s it: we feel too much. Too much of everything, whether it be the pain of a heartbreak or the delight of succeeding at something, for instance.

In discussing life’s matters, we’ve both agreed upon the fact that oftentimes we may be taken up entirely by emotion, to the point where even gazing at the stars opens our minds to an immensity of otherworldly interpretations. How amazing is that?

Besides, we’re eager seekers of beauty in the little things and lovers of kindness. That depth in our mindset is what allows us to express everything so thoroughly, especially through writing and other kinds of art.

What was supposed to be a wallowing session ended up giving us a different view of ourselves. Needless to say, we finished the conversation feeling way better than when we started it.

See It for What It Is: Just A Trait

About three years ago, something interesting came in the mail. One of my aunts resides in England, and she sends gifts every so often. This particular time, she had a special present for me.

It was a book, but not just any book. It was a self-help book called The Highly Sensitive Person, written by Dr. Elaine N. Aron. It had highlighted passages and comments scribbled all over it, as if Auntie wanted me to pay special attention to them.

I might have rolled my eyes at first, but that’s part of my proud nature. Also, never in my seventeen years had I read a self-help book, so I decided to give it a reluctant try in case she asked about it later and I had to whip off a review. I started reading, and to my surprise, it felt like staring at a mirror.

The book, first published in 1996, promotes the de-stigmatization around sensitive people, often mislabeled as weak, shy, and even antisocial, to name a few labels. It has offered me the best advice I’ve been given, from someone who has been through similar struggles.

It counts on interviews with hundreds of people like me—perhaps like you, too—who have offered their experience as HSPs. Their stories prove that we are not alone and that being sensitive makes us unique in our own ways; we just have to make an effort to see that amidst the haze of society telling us we’re somehow abnormal.

I can relate to my aunt on many levels, especially because we have strikingly similar personalities, which is always a recurrent topic during family reunions. At some point in her life she had the same doubts I do now—she felt unfitting and lost. She gets me, and she made sure I had that in mind by giving me that book.

“Think about the impact on you of not being the ideal for your culture. It has to affect you—not only how others have treated you but how you have come to treat yourself.” ~Elaine N. Aron. Ph. D.

For the first time in a while, I accepted my wholeness. I felt an overdue relief in being myself, comforted to know that being dysthymic and highly sensitive by no means indicates than I’m worse than everybody else.

I’m still coming to terms with my fragile essence. I haven’t left therapy or the medications, and I may need them for the rest of my life, who knows? Even so, in researching alternative ways to cope with my anxiety I stumbled across several posts that swore by meditation, so I decided to give it a shot—and it worked like magic!

I meditate for at least ten minutes daily, and the practice has helped diminish common anxious and depressive symptoms, such as a fast heartbeat and racing thoughts. This happens due to meditation’s scientifically suggested power to positively modify our brains—yes, it’s possible! If combined with consistent daily activities such as exercising or anything that sparks creativity, it becomes a strong healing method.

The good news is, my sensitivity has ceased to be a problem. Whenever it wants in, I won’t slam the door, I’ll just invite it in for a cup of coffee instead. Maybe acceptance is all it needs to rest cozy in my chest.

How to Create Content People Will Still Remember in 5 Years’ Time

What the heck happened?

You had a brilliant idea for your blog.

You spent days (or even weeks!) bringing your idea to life — editing, tweaking, and perfecting every syllable.

You used every promotion strategy and technique in your arsenal to ensure the world would know about your blogging masterpiece.

So when you laid down to sleep that first night, you were certain you had a winner on your hands — the kind of content that could stand the test of time and be spoken of with reverence years later by adoring fans who named their firstborn after you.

But faster than you can say “Keyser Soze,” your content was — poof! — gone.

After its initial wave of popularity subsided, your masterpiece faded into the background as newer and newer content popped up.

Instead of standing the test of time, your content was forgotten.

And the only adoring fan willing to name their firstborn after you was your spouse.

Seriously…

What the heck happened?

The Painful Truth: Most Content Will Disappear Into Obscurity Days after Hitting “Publish”

It’s sad but true.

Most online content, even when it’s excellent, is quickly forgotten.

Sure, it may be popular for a little while. For a few glorious moments, it may be flush with laudatory blog comments, congratulatory emails, and social media love.

But, eventually, its popularity fizzles out.

With two million new blog posts published each and every day, only a select few are able to stick in the minds of readers.

How do these select few do it? How are they so memorable?

More importantly, how can you repeat what they do so your content has a chance to still be remembered years from now?

That’s what this post will teach you.

The 5 Crucial Qualities of Unforgettable Content

If you want to create content that people will remember and reference for years — not just days — after you click publish, you need to give it one (or more) of the five qualities we’re about to discuss.

Ready?

Let’s get started.

Quality #1: Gives Readers an “OMG!” Moment

Remember the end of Se7en when Kevin Spacey’s master plan was revealed?

Remember when your mouth dropped open after Darth Vader made the shocking (and often misquoted) revelation that he was Luke’s father?

Remember how stunned you were at the end of The Sixth Sense when you learned that Bruce Willis’s character had been wearing a toupee the entire time?

These movies caught us off guard, jolted us to attention, and got us talking.

And years later, we’re still talking about them.

Why is that?

They’re quality movies for sure, but there’s more to it.

As Chip and Dan Heath discuss in their book Made to Stick, our brains filter out consistency in favor of focusing on differences.

So instead of remembering by-the-numbers movies that end exactly how we expected, we remember the ones with unexpected twists and surprising revelations.

Those are the stories that stand out, stick in our minds, and get us talking about them.

How does this relate to blogging?

If you want your content to be remembered, try surprising your reader.

It’s a tried-and-true method for crafting content that sticks.

How It’s Done

Have you ever come across a headline that stopped you in your tracks?

Why James Chartrand Wears Women’s Underpants is such a headline. It’s surprising, different, and catches you off guard.

But it’s nothing compared to the surprises inside the post.

The first revelation is that James Chartrand is actually a woman; however, the big discovery is why she took and continues to prominently use the name James Chartrand as her pen name.

She explains how a simple name change was able to take her from a struggling freelancer to a well-known blogger.

While the result was unintentional, she reaped many benefits from taking on a male persona — an easier time getting jobs, more respect for her work, and more recognition.

Undeniably, the post is brilliantly written. That makes it great.

But it’s the surprise factor that makes James’s post so gosh-darn memorable.

How You Can Do It

Creating surprising content is not an easy task, and it requires a well-thought-out idea to achieve it. But here are two ways you can get it done:

#1. Drop a Bombshell

Do you have a secret your readers would find surprising?

You’re a travel blogger who’s never flown on a plane? Do you blog about healthy eating but stuff your face with cake on a weekly basis? Are you a fashion blogger who once wore an orange tuxedo to a charity gala?

Tell your readers. Give them your reasons. Get them talking.

#2. Break the Norm

Let’s be honest… Most tips, advice, and strategies you find online — regardless of the niche — are unoriginal. You’ve seen them before, and so have your readers.

Want to surprise your audience?

Offer them unconventional advice they haven’t heard a thousand times before. Give them a truly new idea or insight. Provide a simpler technique or shortcut that makes them cry over all the time and effort they wasted doing things the regular way.

A surprising revelation doesn’t have to be extraordinary or outlandish for people to remember it.

Sometimes, it just needs to thwart you reader’s expectations.

Tweetable Takeaway

Want a proven method for crafting content that sticks in your readers’ heads? Surprise them. (Tweet This)

Quality #2: Overwhelms the Senses (Including Taste Buds)

Remember the final scene in Field of Dreams when Ray Kinsella has a catch with his dad?

You can hear the sound of the baseball hitting their gloves. You can smell the grass on the field. You can feel Ray’s years of guilt melting away as he closes his eyes, smiles, and tosses the ball back to his dad.

(Be honest. You’re crying right now, aren’t you?)

Field of Dreams made you feel like you were in Ray’s shoes, on his field, playing catch with dad. The scene creates such a vivid experience for viewers that whenever they think of playing catch, this scene will come up alongside their own childhood memories.

That’s the power of content that overwhelms your senses.

When you paint a strong scene in your audience’s mind, you make it easier for them to pull it back up from their memory. You’ve essentially bookmarked it for them so they can easily find it when something — a sight, a smell, a sound — reminds them of it.

And the precious few bloggers who can paint such scenes with their writing have been rewarded for their efforts.

Rewarded with tweets. Rewarded with email subscribers.

Rewarded with posts remembered long after their publish dates.

How It’s Done

The trick is to use descriptive language that conveys sensations and lets readers experience what you want them to gain from your writing.

Few writers are better at this than Jon Morrow.

In his post 7 Lessons from a Guy Who Can’t Move Anything But His Face, he uses descriptive storytelling to help the reader get an idea of what it might feel like to be him; specifically, what it’s like to live with a disability.

Had he simply told his readers facts, the points in Jon’s post wouldn’t have resonated with them the same way.

So Jon puts the readers in his shoes. The ups, the downs, and everywhere in between.

And they remember him because of it.

How You Can Do It

If you’ve taken a good English or writing class, you’ve probably been told a time or two to “show, don’t tell.”

This means you want to create an engaging experience for your audience; not just tell them what you want them to know.

But it also means giving your readers specific, concrete advice.

Your reader shouldn’t try in vain to grasp abstract concepts, such as building courage or showing kindness. These are hard to visualize and too vague to put into action.

What would building courage look like? What would showing kindness look like?

Give them concrete actions to take that would display these concepts, like asking someone out on a date (courage) or hugging a stranger (kindness).

You must engage the senses both in the stories you tell and the advice you give, or they will both be quickly forgotten.

Here are a few more specific ways to create engaging, sensory-overloading experiences:

#1. Paint a Mental Picture: What Do You See?

It isn’t enough to tell your readers there was a scary house in your neighborhood when you were a child. Describe the house to them in vivid detail.

What shade of gray was it? Were the doors boarded up? Precisely how many ghostly figures did you see staring at you from the upstairs bedroom windows, and how many are standing behind you right now?

#2. What Do You Hear?

We listen to uptempo songs to push us through cardio workouts. We listen to rainfall when we’re trying to sleep. We listen to Justin Bieber when we want to punish our neighbors.

Want to transplant readers into your world?

Talk about the drip, drip, drip of the faucet. Mention the squeaking floors beneath your feet. Describe the awful music coming from your next-door-neighbor’s house.

#3. What Does it Taste Like?

Does the beach air taste salty? Is the roaring fire so intense you can taste the smoke? Is the smell of your roommate’s tuna fish sandwich so strong you can taste it from across the room?

Tell your audience. Make them taste the fishiness.

Tweetable Takeaway

Make readers see what you see. Put them in your shoes and take them on an emotional journey. (Tweet This)

Quality #3: Coins a Contagious Catchphrase

“The quicker picker upper.”

“The ultimate driving machine.”

“Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.”

Unless you’re one of the precious few whose brains haven’t been inundated with advertisements over the years, you probably recognize these slogans. You also probably recognize the companies that created them.

That’s what a great slogan, phrase, or title can do.

They’re memorable. They differentiate the brand. They often outline a key benefit.

If you want your content to have a chance to stay relevant for years to come, present something that’s novel and — this is key — condense it to its essence.

The end result will be a phrase or idea people will immediately associate with your content.

How It’s Done

The post 1,000 True Fans by Kevin Kelly created an idea that was short and sweet: you can make a living doing anything if you have just 1,000 true fans.

He defined this simple, brilliant idea and then spent the rest of his post explaining why it worked and what you had to do to make it work.

Written in 2008, Kevin’s post is still remembered and referenced all these years later.

Why?

Because the phrase “1,000 true fans” condenses its concept into a simple, catchy phrase. And that makes it easier for people to remember and repeat in conversation.

Brian Dean does something similar in his post The Skyscraper Technique, which teaches a useful link-building strategy for beginners and veterans of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) alike.

After naming his technique, Brian breaks it down into easy-to-follow steps so his audience can quickly get what they need from his post.

The technique is fairly simple and its title, again, is quite catchy.

You can grasp the concept of Brian’s idea simply by its name. You can visualize it. You can close your eyes and see it in action.

And that helps make it memorable.

How You Can Do It

Ask yourself a few questions…

What is your post about? Can you boil your main idea down into a memorable phrase or title? Does it present a unique perspective or technique? Does it address a real need or concern many people can connect with?

Your phrase should be simple and leave an impression on your audience, whether that’s giving them an “aha” moment or simply piquing their interest so they’ll be curious to hear what you have to say.

And once you have settled on a memorable phrase or title, feature it prominently. Include it in your headline. Repeat it, as needed, throughout your post.

Tweetable Takeaway

Create something useful and your audience will read it. Make it catchy, and they’ll remember it. (Tweet This)

Quality #4: Strips You Down and Lays You Bare

If you really want to write a post that resonates with people, you need to connect with them on a deep, personal level. You need to strip your defenses and show your vulnerable side.

This not only sets you apart from all the regular, straight-laced content your audience is exposed to, it helps you relate to them in a way that’s meaningful.

Why do you think Taylor Swift is so popular?

It’s not because she has a better voice than everyone else. It’s not because she’s seven feet tall. It’s not even because she frequently posts pictures of her cat on Twitter and Instagram.

It’s because her lyrics connect with her audience.

From teardrops getting on her guitar to shaking off the fact that haters insist on hating, Taylor often shows vulnerability in her songs.

This vulnerability endears her to her fans. When they look at her, they see a seven-foot-tall version of themselves. They see a kindred spirit.

And you don’t forget kindred spirits very easily.

How It’s Done

Jon is masterful at showing vulnerability.

In his post On Dying, Mothers, and Fighting for Your Ideas, Jon recounts the story of his mother’s tenacity in the face of his condition, which his doctor labels terminal.

He does this beautifully by telling the story first from his mother’s perspective, then from his own, and — lastly — he ties it into his main point: writers have to fight for their ideas with all the determination and love with which mothers fight for their children.

Such an appeal to the audience’s emotions is powerful. It hits home. It’s memorable.

If you want to make your content memorable, make it personal.

How You Can Do It

There are many, many ways you can show vulnerability in your writing. Here are a few ideas:

#1. Open a Window into Your Life

Like Jon does in many of his posts, you can draw your audience in with a personal story.

This works especially well if it exposes you in some way to the reader or helps them relate to you. When you write, you’re asking your audience to trust you with their time and attention.

Show them why they should feel comfortable trusting you.

#2. Reveal Your Intentions

Do you have personal reasons for writing your post?

Be candid with your audience and tell them why the subject means so much to you.

It’s easy for your audience to see you as just another faceless entity trying to sell them a product or idea.

Break this image by showing them your human side.

#3. Expose Your Fears and Anxieties

Are you writing about a problem or worry your audience has?

Do you share and understand their anxieties?

Let your readers know you are (or have been) in the same boat they are and show them how that makes you more qualified to write about it.

Tweetable Takeaway

Don’t be a superhero. Pull back the curtain and let readers see your struggles. (Tweet This)

Quality #5: Breaks Your Reader’s Lenses

We all view the world through lenses.

Some are very specific…

“I’ll vote for whichever candidate lets me have chickens in my backyard.”

However, most lenses are common. They shape our thoughts, passions, and widely-held beliefs on everything from sports to religion.

But what if one of the things you’ve believed all your life was turned on its head?

If you want to write content that people will remember in five years, you can’t just give readers random facts.

You need to hold up a mirror so your readers take cold, hard looks at themselves.

You need to challenge something your readers hold dear.

You need to change their worldview.

How It’s Done

Few concepts are as ingrained into the American way of life as the eight-hour workday.

That’s why Leo Widrich’s The Origin of the 8-Hour Work Day and Why We Should Rethink It, which attempts to debunk the eight-hour day by showing how it wasn’t a well-thought-out or highly-optimized number, is so intriguing.

Leo doesn’t offer the reader a new number as an alternative. Instead, he says what his reader should be concentrating on is focus; specifically, how well they are able to focus on the task at hand regardless of how much time they have to complete it.

Another way to change worldviews is to expose your readers to the reasons why they hold the beliefs they do. A great example of this is the post Taming the Mammoth: Why You Should Stop Caring What Other People Think.

Written by Tim Urban, this humorous piece takes the audience through a history lesson that tells them why they care so much what people think, and then guides them on how to overcome this crippling fear.

We’re constantly trying to overcome fear of rejection and embarrassment, so a post telling us why we (foolishly) fear such things definitely hits home.

How You Can Do It

Challenging people’s views isn’t easy, but here are a few ideas to help you do it.

#1. Demolish Beliefs That Lead Them Astray

Look at the commonly held beliefs of your readers and see if you find any of them to be faulty.

Ask yourself question like:

“What do my readers believe about X that’s untrue?”

“What often-repeated tips and strategies in my niche are — how to put this delicately — extremely stupid?”

“What beliefs keep my readers from achieving X result?”

Once you’ve found something faulty, write about it.

That’s what Derek Halpern did when he tackled the “Content Is King” mantra.

It’s what Dries Cronje did when he told bloggers that posting every day was a silly strategy.

And it’s what Jon did when he shot holes in many of the traffic-building techniques used by beginner bloggers.

Demolishing your readers beliefs in a direct, honest, and non-condescending way is an effective strategy for creating memorable content.

#2. Put Your Readers in Someone Else’s Shoes

A great way to get into your readers’ heads and change their perspective is to present them with a story — whether it’s a real one or a metaphor — and challenge them to ask, “How would I feel if … ?” or “What would I do if … ?”

Just think about your favorite books.

The best are ones where we put ourselves into the shoes of the characters. You’re not reading The Three Musketeers, you are The Three Musketeers.

It’s you who is fighting with swords and having swashbuckling adventures.

And once you’re in their shoes, you can more easily see things from their point of view. Suddenly, you’re not viewing the world through your lens. You’re viewing the world through theirs.

That’s what a great story can do. It draws you in. It flips the “sympathize” switch and turns it to “empathize.” Flip that switch in your reader and it becomes that much easier to flip their perspective.

Tweetable Takeaway

Want to write something people will remember? Turn a commonly held belief on its head. (Tweet This)

It’s Time to Craft Everlasting Gobstoppers of Memorable Content

With dreams of fame, fortune, and world domination dancing through their heads, ambitious bloggers pour their hearts and souls into content they hope people will remember forever.

Unfortunately, most bloggers have no clue how to craft content readers will remember after their morning cup of coffee.

But you do.

You now understand the five crucial qualities content needs to be memorable. To be spoken of with reverence years later by adoring fans. To stand the test of time.

The days of being dumbfounded as you watch your latest blogging masterpiece fade into the sunset are over.

Are you ready to create content people will still talk about in five years?

Then what are you waiting for?

Let’s do this thing.
