Scion

By ETR

Botanically speaking, a “scion” (SY-un) – from the French – is a shoot or twig used for grafting. Hence, a descendant or heir.

Example (as used by Ellis Amburn in Subterranean Kerouac): “Convinced he was the scion of Louis Alexandre Lebris de Kerouac, a noble Breton, [Jack Kerouac] was off to do genealogical research in the Paris libraries and then to locate his ancestor’s hometown in Brittany.”

“But I'm not a writer”
As an Internet entrepreneur you have to learn to recognize effective sales copy - if not write it yourself. Whether it’s e-mail subject lines, sales letters, insert ads, pay-per-click ads... bad copy is just too dangerous to your business. But even if you’re not a "writer" you can learn to apply the secrets of profit-producing copy from master copywriters John Forde and ETR’s own Charlie Byrne as part of the Internet Money Club program.







Testimonials

I thought I just went through business school in 300 pages!

I’m a biology major who studied his way to medical school. My last business class was in 6th grade (about ways to save your allowance money).

When I read Michael Masterson’s book, Ready, Fire Aim, I thought I just went through business school in about 300 pages.

Michael, you’ve helped me start my business – and I never thought I could pull it off. Thank you!
