Luckiest your not a SCORE counselor.

You have the word SCORE next to your name because you have the highest rank.

Intechspecial: Let me take objection to this post. I have spoken with LUCKIEST several times by phone. His profile is there for all to view, as a SCORE counselor and Quickbooks consultant.

Calling LUCKIEST out like this with your assertions is not acceptable. Apologize. Now.

Sup-

Writing advertisements is rather general. What kind of ads, Print, Radio, TV. Are you thinking of actual copy or general creative concepts for specific industries or stores. Will need to clarify your objectives to provide direction.

Supriya,
to get started, I would
highly recommend the book "Writing Copy for Dummies (ISBN:
0-7645-6969-4)" available from any of the major book sites. Amazon.com has several inexpensive copies for sale in the "used book" link under the main book. From the back of the book: "Need to
produce winning copy for your business? This fast, fun guide takes you through
every step of a successful copywriting project, from direct mail, print ads,
and radio spots to Web sites, articles, and press releases."

This book
is geared towards the person looking to write advertisements but not necessarily
looking to be a professional writer. I
have worked with some of the best copywriting professionals in the business and
the advice/instruction given in the book directly relates to what I have seen
in these professionals.

I occasionally
refer to the book when I need to give a preliminary outline to one of our
copywriters to ensure I am getting my point across early in a project. Reading this book will also provide a better "eye"
when deciding if a proposed piece of marketing materials is feasible.

There are a number of directions you can take. I would search for small advertising agencies to see if they need help in the technology field.Your background and experience could be very helpful. Also, check with consultants like myself. For example, part of my business deals with small businesses and start ups. These companies are always looking for ways to advertise and do not have the resources. There are websites out there that focus on start ups that just received funding.Cold calling into those companies presents some very good opportunities.
Let me know if I can help you in anyway.

Supriya, you seem to need an opportunity to test your skills, hone your craft, and build a portfolio for yourself -- and Amy has a start-up advertising newsletter that needs new writers. Seems like a match made in SBOC heaven! I hope you contact each other and that it results in a win-win relationship.

Supriya,
Whatever advertisements you createmake sure you work with a direct advertising agency that provides a complete compliment of services. What I mean by that is you want a company that will provide you statistical data to see how well your ads are doing and if you are getting to the right audience. I represent a company that you can speak directly too. Let me know if you want me to set something up. There is nothing binding about the phone call and they could really help you get started.
