Dear Friend,

Do you remember what a “bullet” means in the copywriting world? Oh, you forgot again? I forgot too. No choice, let's review the definition together.

Bullet: A sentence in your sales letter which ignites readers' curiosity so badly that they drop what they are doing and start reading your sales letter immediately.”

Remember? Good. Let's move on to the today's topic.

How to Create Bullets from Your Products or Services
The Real Example #2
part 38

Compare the original texts and the bullets I created carefully and get “inspiration” to create your own bullets from your products or services. The material I use for this issue is:

Purr: The Science of Making your Cat Happy
by Zazie Todd

There are three reasons why I chose this book as the material.

Reason #1:

This is one of “solution-oriented” books. When you want to create books to sell, you have to choose this format too.

Reason #2:

Animal Welfare is a big market. If you want to create books to sell, you have to choose a big market too.

Reason #3:

I love cats.

And before I show you bullets... I want to emphasize just one thing.

The CEO of Kentaro Sono Inc. swears under oath that this newsletter is not one of the stupid stealth marketing, or written by the Artificial Intelligence such as ChatGPT!

GREYSTONE BOOKS don't pay me any money to write this issue. You got it? OK. Let's study the bullets together!

The Original Text #112:

The American Association of Feline Practitioners recommends that a cat’s daily calorie count (roughly 40–66 kcal per kg per day) be split into multiple small meals throughout each twenty-four-hour period.² International Cat Care suggests you feed your cat five (or more) small meals a day. The reason for many small meals is that it suits cats better.

The Bullet #112:

How many times should we feed cats a day? (Hint: it's not three times.)

The Original Text #113:

There are plenty of commercially available food-puzzle toys to choose from, but it’s also very easy to make your own. For wet food, for example, try putting small portions in cupcake holders or bowls and hide them around the house. Your cat will be able to use their nose to sniff them out. You can find ideas and reviews at a website called Food Puzzles for Cats run by Dr. Mikel Delgado and Ingrid Johnson.

The Bullet #113:

The website we can visit to find ideas and reviews of Food Puzzles for Cats!

The Original Text #114:

The scientific term for working for food by choice is contra-freeloading. This approach to feeding is commonly practiced with zoo animals as a way of providing enrichment in their enclosure and is also becoming increasingly popular for pet dogs. It is recommended for pet cats as a form of enrichment and also to help resolve behavior issues. Again, take care to introduce food puzzles at a very easy level and use tasty treats to help get your cat interested in them. Other ways to encourage foraging include dividing the cat’s food into portions and hiding them around the house, including in high-up places.

The Bullet #114:

How to enrich the lives of your cats... by making them work for food! (FREE meals means boredom and obesity for your cats. But be careful. Don't give them too much stress.)

In the next issue, I deliver How to Create Bullets from Your Products or Services The Real Example #2, part 39!

Sincerely,
Kentaro Sono

In National Geographic España, in the article Guardianas de las abejas urbanas: 'No se matan, se rescatan', the author Paula Mateu writes:

Desde su fundación, Abeja Negra SOS ha realizado 639 rescates, de los cuales 420 colmenas han sido rehabilitadas con éxito. El proceso comienza cuando alguien contacta a la organización por la presencia de abejas en su hogar o entorno. “Nos envían evidencia, hacemos una entrevista para evaluar la situación y procedemos al rescate”, explica Adriana. Estos rescates pueden implicar largas horas de trabajo en condiciones extremas: alturas, espacios reducidos e incluso labores nocturnas.

Una vez rescatadas, las abejas son trasladadas a un apiario donde inicia su rehabilitación. Este proceso dura al menos seis meses y requiere alimentación constante, atención a enfermedades y un entorno adecuado para que la colmena pueda prosperar. Pasado este periodo, las colmenas pueden ser donadas a apicultores locales o mantenerse bajo el cuidado de Abeja Negra SOS.

“A los apicultores, como requisito, sólo les pedimos que cuenten con el material necesario. Normalmente les entregamos núcleos, que son más fáciles de cuidar. Un núcleo tiene un costo comercial de unos 2.500 pesos, pero nosotros cobramos sólo 100 pesos para cubrir nuestros materiales”, explica Véliz. Además, la organización canaliza a nuevos apicultores y ofrece capacitaciones parafomentar el cambio generacional en la apicultura, una actividad que enfrenta un declive preocupante.

The Bonus Bullet #1:

The organization who don't kill honeybees in towns... but help them to find new homes in another area!

In EL PAÍS, in the article Un juego de mesa para ayudar a las familias a hablar de sexo sin vergüenza con sus hijos adolescentes, the author Ignacio Zafra writes:

En total son 350 tarjetas, de las que 47 están marcadas como preguntas “avanzadas”, al abordar temas, digamos, más subidos de tono. “Ello permite que puedan retirarse fácilmente si se quiere, por ejemplo si los chavales que van a jugar son jóvenes”, dice Cañas. Está orientado, en principio, a adolescentes de 12 a 18 años, bien con su familias ―aunque los más mayores pueden hacerlo solos― o en los centros educativos. En este último caso, su creador recomienda “la participación de un profesor o profesora que conozca el tema con cierta profundidad y sepa tanto solventar las dudas como propiciar el análisis y el debate”. Pueden jugar hasta cuatro equipos integrados por hasta 10 personas. Y nada impide, claro, que jueguen solo adultos.

The Bonus Bullet #2:

The card game we can play with our children... to teach them proper knowledge of safe SEX!
