Some say it was to win a bet; others say it was to prove a point. Whatever the impetus, Ernest Hemingway once wrote a 6-word short story:

“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

Pretty powerful, that.

And a handy excuse for another, impromptu contest.

The Challenge: Write a six-word commercial for Harlan Hogan’s upcoming teleseminar class, STARTING YOUR VOICEOVER BUSINESS: Everything You Need To Know To Turn Your Dream Or Your Sideline Into A Business.

Where To Find Class Info, Hints For Possible Approaches, etc.: http://TheVoiceoverClass.com.

The Rules: Exactly six words. In English. Only one entry per person.

The Winning Entry will be the one that is the most persuasive. If two are equally persuasive, the most creatively persuasive one wins. Remember, although it might be wildly offbeat, it does have to “sell” the teleseminar class.

Also Influencing The Judging will be the quality and quantity of comments other people make regarding specific entries. (Those comments will go in the “comments” field beneath this posting.)

Submit Your Entry by posting it as a “comment” on this posting.

The Prize: The winner chooses any two of my mp3 seminars and/or my e-books.

Fine Print: If fewer than 20 people enter, the Judges Committee (me) reserves the right not to award a prize. So if you enter and you want to win, you’ll probably want to nag a bunch of other (less talented) people to enter, too.

The Winner Will Be Announced On This Blog, One Week From Today.
