<div><strong><em>This is a guest post from Julie Roads, <a title="Writing Roads" href="http://writingroads.com" target="_self"> www.writingroads.com</a>, a good friend and very talented copywriter.</em></strong></div>
<div><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></div>
<div><strong>Channel the Saran Wrap</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div>The only problem with it, is that it&#8217;s not environmentally friendly, so  don&#8217;t channel that part of the Saran Wrap™, but grab hold of everything else and  apply it to your writing, online, blogging and social media efforts.</div>
<div>Saran Wrap™ is:</div>
<div>1. Transparent. If you aren&#8217;t transparent, you&#8217;re hiding something, which  makes you untrustworthy&#8230;people want to connect with people, not businesses,  NOT smoke screens.Transparency is about being really genuine &#8211; don&#8217;t just be a  car salesman, be a car salesman who loves sandwiches, tennis, his kids and the  novel you&#8217;ve been writing for the last year.</div>
<div>2. Clear. Be clear about your mission, your goals, your industry, your  philosophy, your blog topic, the scope of what you do. Clarity is about your own  personal understanding and connection to your professional life and plan. If you  aren&#8217;t clear, you&#8217;re confused, disorganized and ineffective &#8211; things that will  negatively effect your productivity, overall business, relationships, etc.</div>
<div>3. Sticky. If folks just breeze on through your blog, website, store &#8211; you  haven&#8217;t really gotten anywhere. You want to stick to them, you want them to  stick to you, you want them to subscribe, bookmark, buy, sign-up, return,  remember you. The point is to build a long relationship and have it expand over  time.</div>
<div>4. Connected. Ever notice how it&#8217;s very difficult to get just a little bit  of Saran Wrap™ off the roll? The wrap is so connected to itself, like brothers  in arms, a VERY tight network. Use this in two ways: 1) build your own network  via your blog and your social networks and, 2) encourage this network to tell  their own networks about you as well.</div>
<div>5. &#8216;The&#8217; word to the extent that people think your name represents the  entire industry &#8211; think Kleenex™ here. Saran Wrap™ is a registered trademark  brand name, the product is actually plastic wrap. Word of mouth and a good  product has made them the industry leader, standard and mascot.</div>
<div>6. A Tool. One box, all you need. Saran Wrap™ has the container, the wrap,  the cardboard tube that keeps the wrap in check, the metal teeth to cut the  wrap. Have all of the tools people need at the ready. Make it easy for them to  contact you, purchase your product or service, use your product or service, tell  their friends about their contact or service, etc.</div>
