<p>Dear Mrs. Evans</p>

<p>I’ll be glad to meet you in the near future, so that we could discuss my vision for the development of your company and my place in it as a part of the team.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time and consideration.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

<h1>Intern Cover Letter</h1>
<h5>RONALD GLICK</h5>
<p>46 Jane Street, #7C &#8212; New York, NY 10038 &#8212; (H) 212-799-5000 &#8212; ronglick@aol.com</p>
<p>October 7, 2010</p>
<p>Jill Worthington, <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/jobs-by-title/supervisor-jobs">Supervisor</a></p>
<p>XYZ Company</p>
<p>1251 6<sup>th</sup> Avenue</p>
<p>New York, NY 10036</p>
<p>Dear Ms. Worthington:</p>
<p>I read with great interest your <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/hub/job-search">job posting</a> on CareerBuilder for an intern.</p>
<p>My experience in office, retail, and academic environments has given me the opportunity to master administrative, time management, and customer service skills. Despite the diversity of the jobs I have held during and after college, all the positions seem to share some common themes. In each role I was asked to interpret and simplify information and interact with others on a regular basis.</p>
<p>As a college student, I tutored several freshman and seniors in multiple subjects while successfully juggling a full-time course load. Over the course of two summers, I helped grade school children improve their language arts and math skills. Through administrative roles at two major New York area hospitals, I streamlined patient record information, automated data storage and retrieval processes, and managed <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/administrative-jobs">receptionist</a> duties as needed. As a crew member for Fast Food Express Restaurant, I learned how to manage cash register responsibilities, provide excellent customer services, and interact effectively with the public. In addition, I am proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite and I have a degree in Math from SUNY Oswego.</p>
<p>At this juncture I am seeking a new opportunity where I can apply the above-mentioned skills and add value to another organization. My <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/hub/resumes">resume</a> is attached for your review and I look forward to a personal interview.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Ronald Glick</p>
<p>And here’s a <a href="http://www.resume-resource.com/covexample30.html">Nurse Cover Letter Example</a>, for professionals with job experience as Registered Nurse.</p>
<p>Please share this article…</p>
<p>… with your friends, if you know they’re looking for a job and need help with the resume and need some proven cover letter examples.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong>You don’t need your own email list to make money online. Whether you buy a 3<sup>rd</sup> party solo ad or email your in-house mailing list, one thing is for sure: <strong>generating sales is like sending resumes</strong>. The more jobs you apply for, the higher your chance to get hired (e.g. close the sale).</p>
<p><em>With each email campaign I tell my clients to write (or hire me to handle the job as an email copywriter) at least 7 email follow-ups (aka pre-sell messages) to entice readers to buy.</em></p>
<p>Countless marketing tests and my own trials as an <strong><a href="../email-copywriter-offers/">email copywriter</a></strong> have shown that I have to remind my readers (audience) on the offer, idea or product I want them to fully grasp, several times. And 7 is the magic number because 80% of the sales are generated on the 7<sup>th</sup> contact.</p>
<p>Now, <strong>pre-selling is like a movie trailer</strong>. It has to arouse curiosity and build anticipation about the product or service you’re going to tell them about.</p>
<p>Selling your product in your first or second email is like launching a movie without a trailer. Sales will drop like stars because readers were not prepared in advance. Until you stir your audience imagination and curiosity on the emotional-level, you will never shake them to take action.</p>
<p><strong>When I write emails, I act as a flick producer.</strong> I know how much light there needs to be in the room and what soundtrack to add in the background. Silent scenes, no fights, no dialogue &#8211; impact more than anything else.</p>
<p><em>What I’m trying to say is simple yet essential: each and every email you write either has to paint a specific picture in the mind of your reader, one they can relate to, or emphasize an idea you want them to think about, and make it as their own.</em></p>
<p>And when you do that, sales will follow. Sometimes, orders can strike your inbox like a storm and put that big smile on your face.</p>
<p>For today, I want to leave you with a proven game plan for your next email campaign:</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>How to get more product or affiliate sales<br />
with each email you send &#8211; guaranteed:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>     1. Know your audience</strong></p>
<p>Do whatever it takes to discover what they like buying, what they dislike, what they love to read about, what they hate, what they worry about, what their challenges are – find all this, that is related in a way or another to your product or affiliate offer.</p>
<p><strong>     2. Talk to your audience</strong></p>
<p>My best emails were the ones where I interact with my audience on the emotional, more intimate level &#8212; where I share things about my experience or my clients’ life and struggle that they can relate to.</p>
<p>Talk about fears, challenges and solutions. They need to understand you care about them, and know what they’re going through. And your emails and writing is the reflection of that. That’s the BIG secret, right here!</p>
<p><strong>     3. Pre-sell to your audience</strong></p>
<p>As we talked before, if you get your audience to connect with you and build their curiosity in advance about whatever you’re selling or promoting, sales are guaranteed to boost &#8211; if you do it right.</p>
<p>Pre-selling, pre-selling, pre-selling!</p>
<p>You do not talk about your product, but share ways someone can solve their problems, or reach their goals. And you showcase or introduce your product/service as a solution to their challenge. Plain and simple, yet most people neglect this step, and wonder why sales are invisible.</p>
<p><strong>     4. Email copywriting</strong></p>
<p>That is half art, half science. You have to deeply understand human psychology – what makes people tick, and buy the solution they need. You need to know how to connect your solution to their intimate desires and challenges. That is why email copywriting is not easy.:</p>
<p>It takes time.</p>
<p>It takes practice.</p>
<p>It takes imagination.</p>
<p>It takes brainstorming.</p>
<p>It takes research.</p>
<p>It takes perseverance.</p>
<p>It takes passion.</p>
<p>It takes a lot more than most people think about it.</p>
<p><em>That’s why I love writing emails that pull-in readers, educate and sell. I don’t hype, but rage about what I have found, tested or heard about. Emails that reflect passion are like block-buster movies. They attract hordes of buyers and raving fans.</em></p>
<p><strong>     5. How to close the sale</strong></p>
<p>Do not strive to sell hard. Soft-selling is the key. That’s why pre-selling is the foundation of email writing. If you build the connection with the audience, and do it right, they will most likely ask to buy from you. All you need is give them the link, or show where to buy your product from.</p>
<p>No scarcity, no tricks, no gimmicks.</p>
<p>Sadly, most email marketers, both individuals and companies focus on doing just that: hard-selling on their price, on their discount, on time-limited offers.</p>
<p>If you want to sound robotic, and deliver “me-too” messages that get little to no sales, then follow what everybody else is doing when it comes to email marketing and follow-up writing.</p>
<p>If you want more sales, then <strong><a href="../contact/">contact me for email copywriting and follow-up writing</a></strong>!</p>
<p>Whatever you decide, hope the quick tips I shared with you will bring far more sales and joy than before, with each new email campaign you engineer. That was my goal with today’s article.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you cannot sleep at night because you want to buy that <strong></strong><strong><a href="/plr-articles-for-sale.html">PLR articles for sale</a></strong> pack, or you are keen to start your site and do not have time to write but you are interested to <strong><a href="/plr-articles-for-sale.html"><strong>buy PLR articles</strong></a></strong>, read this message</p>
<p>Here is the uncensored message my partner asked me not to write. I love my partner. And I understand why she wants me to keep my mouth shut. She just wants to protect me from the PLR sellers out there.</p>
<p>I cannot be quiet any longer. I am angry. They take us as a fool. And I am tired of it.</p>
<p>The private label rights sellers tell one thing. Then do the opposite. Almost, if not, all of them. One of my biggest mistakes was to buy PLR packages… one after another, without thinking before hand how in the world am I going to use this content.</p>
<p>First: they promise us 200+ articles a month. Hey, some even go nuts and offer up to 400 <strong><a href="/plr-articles-for-sale.html">PLR articles for sale</a>. </strong>But there’s a “trick”. This content is divided into separate niches or topics.</p>
<p>If you have a site about dogs, then you cannot really use the “health care” articles, right?</p>
<p>But you can build another site in that market. However, with at least 10 different topics, do you think you can manage to handle 10 online properties? Do you think is that easy? I have 8 niche sites and they take most of my time. And I have to be honest with you. I do online marketing full-time.</p>
<p>I spend at least 8 hours a day, sometimes 10 or even 12 when I have to finish some priority projects. If you don’t have at least 8 hours at your disposal, my suggestion is to focus on just one, maximum two web sites.</p>
<p>If you are looking to <a href="/plr-articles-for-sale.html"><strong>buy PLR articles</strong></a>, then think twice before making a purchase.</p>
<p>Price is not the only, nor the best deciding factor. Quality is the key, in the first place. Plus, what is as important is this: how you are going to use the content &#8211; not in the future (maybe next month) but now – today and next week.</p>
<p>You see, the 100’s of marketers and bloggers I consulted with in the last year, all tend to commit more mistakes than you and I we could count on our fingers.</p>
<p>That is why I think:</p>
<p>The Only Way Left for the Little Guy to Succeed with PRL Content and particularly with <a href="/plr-articles-for-sale.html"><strong>PLR article packs</strong></a>…</p>
<p>Is to follow these 3 principles</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Avoid the temptation to buy everything that comes handy, unless you really have a game plan to use the content this or next month.</p>
<p>If you buy one private label rights article pack after another, you could get into debts quite often. I know people who went $100’s in pocket holes &#8211; because of this approach. Or should I say mistake.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Do not buy the pack on price alone. Its quality and usefulness is as important as the engine to your car.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Make a good habit to review the PLR membership sites or packs you want to buy. Read testimonials. Contact the vendor. Apply this and you get one step closer to succeeding with private label content rights.</p>

<p>Do you know these 5 key <strong>Blogging Tips</strong> for new bloggers?</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t already become involved with the phenomenon that  is blogging, then you have to ask yourself, &#8220;why not?&#8221; For most people,  the answer to this question is that they don&#8217;t know where to start? For  other people, the answer is that they don&#8217;t see any purpose in having a  blog. However, how do they know unless they give it a try? If you&#8217;ve  never tried blogging, I&#8217;d urge you to consider it.</p>
<p>In fact, I believe so  strongly that you should consider it that the following are blogging tips for  how to start a blog and what to do with it once you have started.</p>
<p><strong>#1: Choosing a Blog</strong></p>
<p>Whether  you decide to start a blog for money or just for fun, you should  probably do so without spending any money. Web Sites such as Blogger and  MySpace offer free blogs. By doing this, you can get practice at  blogging and decide if it is something you like doing.</p>
<p><strong>#2: Consider and Research Your Topics</strong></p>
<p>If  you want to develop a readership for your blog then the topics you  write about have to be ones which people will find interesting. You  should also provide a different take on topics other than what the  majority of other bloggers offer. Also, before you start writing about a  topic, make sure you understand it and that what you&#8217;re writing is  fact. The quickest way to lose readership, or never gain one at all, is  to write blogs that are false or misleading.</p>
<p><strong>#3: Leave Your Personal Life Out of It</strong></p>
<p>Most  people don&#8217;t care how you spent your day yesterday. Most people are  searching blogs in order to find helpful information. A blog is not a  diary. If you&#8217;re looking to keep a diary, do so offline. For your own  privacy and pride, don&#8217;t air your dirty laundry where millions of people  have access to it.</p>
<p><strong>#4: Keep Your Writing Simple</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t think  of yourself as the next Pulitzer Prize winner. What this means is avoid  using large words or any words that will send readers looking for a  dictionary. Most newspapers in the United States write at a middle  school reading level. You should too so that you don&#8217;t run the risk of  alienating potential readers.</p>
<p><strong>#5: Proofread</strong></p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t  matter how unique and intuitive you blog topic is. If it&#8217;s full of  misspellings and grammatical errors people won&#8217;t read it and they will  never visit it again. Make sure and take the time to proofread your  writing. You may even consider enrolling in a local writing class in  order to polish your skills.</p>
<p>If you find that blogging is something for you, then you  will eventually find ways to build upon the blogging tips mentioned above. In  fact, you may even find yourself <a href="/how-to-make-money-with-blogs/">making money from your blog</a>. But to  keep it simple at first, just follow the tips above and work on getting  people to read what you&#8217;ve written, then consider expanding upon your  talents.</p>

<p>Most people don&#8217;t understand what the term &#8220;blog&#8221; means, much  less any of the many other terms that are used when discussing the  subject of blogging. To help clear up any confusion and  misunderstanding, the following list of blog terms was compiled.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #1: Blog</strong></p>
<p>Most  people don&#8217;t understand what a blog is, which is why it is at the top  of the list. The term &#8220;blog&#8221; is short for web log. Blogs are essentially  online journals kept by individuals; though not in the traditional  since, where they divulge their innermost thoughts and secrets. Blogs  are used as a place for people to discuss their interests and offer  advice to others who read them.</p>
<p>Some people have even become skilled enough at blogging to make money doing it for a living.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #2: Pinging</strong></p>
<p>Pinging  is a useful tool used by bloggers to get their blog noticed. There are  hundreds of websites available that provide this service free. What  pinging does is it notifies the many popular search engines that there  has been an update to your blog. This helps move your blog up the ranks  of popularity so that it has a better chance of getting noticed.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #3: Linking</strong></p>
<p>Most  popular blogs provide links within their content that allow people to  be redirected to other websites in order find more information on a  topic, or as a means of referencing the topic to make sure that the blog  is accurate. All too often many blogs are purposely filled with false  information. However, linking helps legitimate bloggers separate  themselves from the fakes.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #4: Posts</strong></p>
<p>This term refers to the addition of a new entry to your blog. Each time you update your blog, this is called a post.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #5: Template</strong></p>
<p>All  new blogs are issued with a standard writing template. Don&#8217;t think that  your topics and writing alone will be enough to generate readership.  You&#8217;ll also want to edit your template so that it stands apart from  those of everyone else. A blog must be just as aesthetically pleasing as  it is informative.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #6: Blog host</strong></p>
<p>In order to get a  blog you need to sign up with a blog host. Such websites include  Blogger dot com, or if you have a My Space account, you may have  realized that you have a blog space there. Whatever the case, remember  that there are many blog hosts who offer the service free, so don&#8217;t  waste your money with one who requires a fee.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #7: Blog directories</strong></p>
<p>These  are massive online databases that catalogue the millions of different  blogs in cyberspace. When you start your own blog you will also be  added.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #8: Niche</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard people  mention the need for your blog to have a niche. A niche refers to the  purpose of your blog. Does your blog discuss politics, pop culture, or  music? Each one of those is a niche.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #9: RSS feed</strong></p>
<p>This  is a piece of code you can include with your blog which allows people  to subscribe to it. This takes the hassle out of your readership having  to visit your blog to see if it is updated by automatically informing  them every time it is.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Term #10: Trackback links</strong></p>
<p>This  is a tool that notifies another bloggers anytime you reference their  blog. It also includes a link to your blog from theirs. This is a great  way to expand your notoriety, as well as build some connections with  other bloggers.</p>
<p>As you continue to learn about blogging, these ten terms will make the  process easier. Any time you come across a blogging term you&#8217;re  unfamiliar with make sure and research it before making any decisions.  For now though, the terms above will be enough to help you get started  blogging on your own.</p>
