Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style gets a lot of publicity in articles about writing and deservedly so. This (almost) 100 year old desk-reference book has earned the reputation as being a writer’s best friend.

In 1918, Cornell English Professor William Strunk, wrote The Elements of Style. Strunk’s purpose in writing this reference book was for students to have quick access to the most important elements of English language usage, form, and style. Almost 100 years later, this reference book continues to heavily influence writers.

After Strunk passed away in 1946, essayist E.B. White was approached to augment and edit the guide to appeal to a wider audience. When White passed away in 1985, The Elements of Style was in its third edition.

The current edition has been, according to E.B. White’s stepson Roger Angell, "modestly updated" to include references to word processors and to acknowledge feminist concerns about pronoun usage.

The Elements of Style has grown from Strunk’s original 43 pages to 105, but is still a compact, pocket handbook for the writer on-the-go to common questions.

The guide is arranged in five sections:

  • Elementary Rules of Usage
  • Elementary Principles of Composition
  • A Few Matters of Form
  • Words and Expressions Commonly Misused
  • An Approach to Style

The first four sections are easy to glance through, and the index quickly leads you to the point of grammar you want and there is a 60 word glossary that defines basic terms. The fifth section, "An Approach to Style," provides a useful reminder that there is more to producing distinctive prose than just getting the grammar correct.

The Elements of Style has earned its long popularity as a concise guide to correct English usage. It can provide a writer with the "elements," but "style" arises from the personality of the writer.

Copywriting is an essential element of successful online marketing. The art of copywriting involves strategic writing that promotes a person, product, business, idea or opinion with the prime goal of having the reader take some form of action.

Whether you are looking to sell a product or service or to build traffic by getting other websites to link to yours, you need to use compelling words to grab and connect to your target audience.

In his book, The Copy Workshop Workbook, Bruce Bendinger eloquently writes, "Copywriting is a job. A skilled craft. Verbal carpentry. Words on paper. Scripts to time. And one more thing. Salesmanship." This is an exquisite way to define the art of shaping words.

The term salesmanship does not always refer to the sale of a product when it comes to copywriting. The end goal is that you want the reader to take a specific action and the action may be clicking on a link, subscribing to your newsletter, sharing your page to Facebook, StumbleUpon, Twitter or other social media. Any of those actions results in achieving your goals.

Successful copywriting follows a time-proven formula, AIDA. This is an acronym that means Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. Direct mail copywriters have been following this formula for years, however, the copy writer must still have a creative flare that draws on the power of persuasion.

Attention: grab the reader’s attention through words and graphics – create emotion.

Interest: Obviously the reader is at your website for a reason – there is some interest in your product or service – secure that interest.

Desire: Carefully crafted words will increase the reader’s desire to stay on your website. Transforming facts into enticing words into an exciting language that heightens the reader’s interest is important.

Action: The reader needs enough motivational cause to take the desired action. At this stage of copywriting, the reader has all the information needed and the interest has peaked - this is the "bringing it home" moment.

Your website is your avenue to financial success and professionally-crafted "AIDA" copywriting is essential in “bringing it home.”

During this time he appeared in many movies some which include: Batman and Robin, Demolition Man, X-Files and Predator.

Ventura served as Mayor of Brooklyn Park for four years before he was elected as governor of Minnesota in 1998. He has penned several books on topics that do not make mainstream news.

Jesse Ventura has virtually become a spokesperson for educating people on the truth. In August 2009, it was announced that Ventura would host TruTV's new show Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. He hunts down answers, educating viewers about the real truth behind a myriad of issues and events that shape our world. There's no secret that the American government has concealed the truth about a lot of important matters and one by one, Jesse dissects the lies to get to the truth. According to TruTV, the first episode on December 2, 2009, drew 1.6 million viewers, a record for a new series on the network.

American Conspiracies is his most recent book that delves into the corruption and government secrets that have altered past events and are changing outcomes of future events.

Very few individuals have come forward to reveal the truth and have done so much to educate the public on issues that affect the United States. Meet Jesse Ventura and have your copy of American Conspiracies signed.
