Read Your Way to Better Sales

If you want to get better results from your ad copy, there are some great books that can help you. These inexpensive books can teach you a great deal about writing copy and marketing. Some of the best books are on copywriting, though you may be surprised how much you can learn from books that are off-topic, too.

Great writers improve their writing by reading books. This is a great way to improve your skills in the copywriting field, too. Today, I'll offer you a few suggestions for books that will quickly boost your copywriting results.

Here are three books on the subject of copywriting, and one is off the subject, that I have for you.

My first recommendation is The Robert Collier Letter Book, by Robert Collier. This book has become a classic in the copywriting and marketing industry. Collier himself wrote many of the ads in the book. While the language is somewhat antiquated, giving an old-fashioned feel, the basic principles of the book still stand the test of time.

My third choice is Reason Why Advertising, by John E. Kennedy. While it is not easy to find, it is highly-recommended. I'll provide you with resources to find this book, among others, at the end of this article.

My fourth recommendation is off-topic, but still relevant. While it isn't about copywriting, it is about selling. You can enjoy this book at any time - in a house, with a mouse, or with a fox in a box! Check out Green Eggs and Ham, by Dr. Seuss.

It may seem silly to read a children's book to improve your business, but this book is all about persistence in making a sale. Dr. Seuss teaches us valuable marketing lessons which we can apply to our advertising strategy. Convert more clients into buyers - read Dr. Seuss!

As promised, here is a great way to find all those books. Bret Ridgeway of Speaker Fulfillment Services specializes in finding hard-to-find books on copywriting and marketing. Find what you need at his website at www.SFSBookstore.com.

One of the best investments you can make in your business is information. The books I have recommended will be a valuable addition to any marketing and copywriting library. They won't cost a fortune, and the money you invest will provide you with great returns. They are truly valuable to improve your copywriting skills.
