Jim Turner’s Summary

►NETWORKING INTERESTS ◄

I'm an open networker with the philosophy that you never know who's connected to your next big business deal. All LIONs and MyLink500 members can feel free to connect with me.

But anyone else looking to share business ideas and concepts is welcome to connect with me. We just might be able to help each other in some way down the road. So, send your invitations to connect at: linktojim@jimturnermarketing.com

► PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY ◄

I'm a seasoned direct response copywriter with a focus on the financial investment advisory services niche. My current clients market financial investment advice through online marketing promotions and offline direct mail campaigns.

My specialty is writing in the long sales letters... 16-20 pages... usually in the form of a web landing page that allows the prospect to purchase the product or service in the moment.

The financial services promoted in the copy that I write sell in the range of $299 - $5,000 for a one-year subscription. Introductory or new subscriber acquisition letters target buyers who are willing to pay $49 - $99 a year for more mainstream or conservative investment advice.

My schedule is currently booked for major projects. If you have need for smaller scale projects, contact me at: jim@jimturnermarketing.com.

For more information on how to partner with me in your next marketing campaign, email me at jim@jimturnermarketing.com or visit my website at: www.JimTurnerMarketing.com.
