Just wanted to say, this video was awesome. It's just what I needed. Thanks

FuturePrinceofPrint · 05-07-2011, 11:39 PM

Oh and, I wonder if any copywriter has ever really changed a sign for a bum. Haha.. That would be pretty awesome.

This is awesome and so true, when i went to my first copywriting seminar it cost me $997 but I made that back by fixing my sales pages up and putting better copy in there.

It is amazing the true power of words and how they stir our emotions. Simple psychology that everyone forgets about but are very powerful and can make you lots of money if you study the connection, and test.

You can also change behaviors of people by making it fun to do so.

Watch this:

YouTube - Piano stairs - TheFunTheory.com -...

It is an advertisement and the idea is great.
They made more of these, you can find them here:

Wow. I wasn't planning to watch it. I'm glad I did. That really struck a nerve.

That is why I am so into writing. ( copywriting is just one part of it ) A beauitful video.

Thank you for sharing

It is amazing how a few words can make such a big difference. Indeed, very amazing.

betteseo · 05-18-2011, 11:14 AM

BBryanB · 05-19-2011, 04:27 PM

Yes, this is an incredible clip. I usually avoid these things like the plague but this one slipped by and I am glad that it did, brilliant piece of work.

tdj · 05-22-2011, 02:01 PM

Emotional tone for sure. But what I got from the video is the fact that the right choice of words you use in any copy, will fetch you more money. It's like me writing copy versus a good copywriter here on the WF.

Nulli Secundus · 05-23-2011, 12:06 AM

Wow that was very powerful, it really shows the power of words

KunTaoM · 05-23-2011, 12:30 AM

Oh My Goodness! The first video make me almost cry when the camera show the words on the board. Different people will see it in different angle...

"IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND I CAN'T SEE IT"

Such a powerful WORDS!

Kate Campbell · 05-25-2011, 01:22 PM

Amazing video!
Thank you!

Daniel Harper · 05-25-2011, 09:20 PM

I actually had a very different take on this video.

My thought was that if the revised message were a headline, then it would fail. Or at least not be as good as it could be.

Why?

Because it doesn't compel people to take the specific action he wants them to take.

Telling people, "It's a beautiful day and I can't see it" will stir up a boatload of sympathy, but giving a blind guy money won't help him see the beautiful day, now will it?

So why would people who saw that sign give him money?

I guess some would because they feel sorry for him, but don't people normally make a charitable contribution to help someone solve a problem?

A message like, "I'm hungry and have no money to feed myself" would be a bit more on point, don't you think? I mean, as far as compelling the SPECIFIC ACTION of getting people to give him money.

"Oh, this poor guy hasn't eaten. Well, ****, I can part with a few dollars if it means the difference between him eating and going hungry."

Sure, it's not as sexy ... but isn't that the trap we've all been warned about in copywriting and advertising? Don't go for the award winner. Go for what WORKS. And often time what works isn't terribly innovative.

Maybe I'm wrong. I guess the only way to prove it would be to test it. And I definitely don't think that this particular piece was real, so there goes that idea.

Interesting video nonetheless.
