About this ebook
Do you hate the way sales and marketing copy makes you feel? Sales-y? Inauthentic? Hype-y? Just plain icky? You're not alone ... and there's a reason you feel that way. It's because traditional sales and marketing copy (also known as direct response copy) sells by tapping into fear.
But, you don't have to use fear – you can sell and market your business using love instead. And when you do that, you stop manipulating and twisting arms to get buyers, and instead start attracting, inspiring and inviting your ideal clients into your business.
Ahhh -- doesn't that sound wonderful?
In this book, copywriting and marketing expert Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) teaches you the philosophy and the foundational principles behind selling with love versus fear – the same principles she's used to help her clients build their businesses over the years. Plus, she includes dozens of exercises so you too can easily implement love-based copy in
your own business.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or business owner or just starting out, you'll discover valuable tips and strategies around selling and marketing with love. And not only will you feel great about it, so will your ideal clients.

When Michele was 3 years old, she taught herself to read because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.She holds a double major in English and Communications from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Currently she lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband Paul and southern squirrel hunter Cassie

BY SUSAN LIDDY,
FOUNDER OF THE LOVE-BASED BUSINESS PARADIGM MOVEMENT
As a consumer, I always hated marketing and advertising.
I hated how they triggered my fears, made me feel less than incapable and tried to manipulate me into the sale.
So, of course, one of the first things I noticed when I entered the business world as a business owner was how much fear was rooted in the coaching industry. Pretty much all the marketing, sales and copywriting was fear-based.
The last thing I wanted to do was dump more fear-based marketing messages into the world, so I started to search for a better way. Unfortunately, all I found were gurus
who were actively teaching and encouraging the use of the tactics that I deplored.
At first I despaired. Until I realized I was the one who was meant to step up and be that expert in the Love-Based Business Paradigm.
As time went on, though, I’ve come to realize an even deeper message. I see now that while I was meant to give birth to the Love-Based Business Paradigm, I was not meant to nurture and grow it by myself. The Love-Based Business Paradigm needs a bigger platform than what I can do by myself as an entrepreneur.
It needs to be a movement.
They say that it takes a village to raise a child, and it most certainly takes a village to raise a movement. To honor that, I invite all coaches and service-based business owners to use their version of Love- Based Business and spread the movement far and wide. Together, we can change how marketing and advertising is being done.
Michele PW is a gifted copywriter who knows and understands love-based copywriting inside and out. She has done incredible work for me and my business and I am honored that she is taking the lead in bringing love-based copywriting front and center with this book that you now hold in your hands.
With all my love.

Introduction
WHY THIS BOOK?
I’ve wanted to write this book for a good long time, even if I didn’t fully realize it until recently. As a child (3 years old), I taught myself to read because I wanted to write stories so badly.
As a teenager, I tried to figure out what to do to make money while I wrote my novels. Everyone said I should be a journalist, but that was the last thing I wanted to be.
Instead, while in college, I discovered the wonderful world of copywriting.
Copywriting, which has nothing to do with protecting intellectual property or putting a copyright on something, is all about writing promotional materials for businesses. Businesses have a lot of copy they need written, but rather than hire a lot of employees to get it all done, they use freelancers. Hence, there’s an entire freelance copywriting industry out there devoted to serving those businesses.
For years, I bounced between freelancing and working full time (which included freelancing as I was working) until 1998 when I quit my job to pursue full-time copywriting.
Along the way, I discovered I had a talent for not only writing promotional copy, but also
