Default Copywriting affiliate program wanted

I'm looking for a decent copywriting affiliate program with affordable salespage copywriting so I can place links in a book i'm doing at the moment.

I have done some searching but when I check them out their own sales page stinks or they are too expensive for the market i'm going for, people looking to outsource for the first time and total newbies who just want to test the market.

Any help welcome,

James

Maybe if you indicated what is NOT too expensive for your market, it would help.

But -- there ya go... you get what you pay for.
The people whose sales pages you like are too expensive for you, the people who are cheaper (and have affiliate programs) -- their sales pages stink.

What does that tell you???

Try Yanic Silver's "Instant SalesLetters"

The best policy is, I think, to be straight with people.

Not all niches or products require good copywriting. Some
do - the most lucrative and competitive ones generally.

If you tell people to cheap-out on something as vital
as quality copy I think you are doing a dis-service.

I tell folks if they want to save money on copy to go out
and read a stack of books and start working on their
own skills.

If they won't do that it's a dis-service to tell them to find
a cheap writer to write their letters for them. I got an
email from a guy recently that got "cold feet" in an arrangement
we had made and went with a cheap-o writer... and the
copy he got sucked-wind and he was lamenting his mistreatment
of me in the matter.

Good copywriters have their own oars in the water. They
turn down low-end work because their own personal
projects are more lucrative than writing, and thinking,
to build other people's businesses as hired guns.

There is a guy here on WF who has some sort of outsourced-to-
India salesletters deal. I haven't read them but in some
niches they might work for your clients. Misleading people
to believe that cheap salesletters will work in competitive
niches isn't something I would recommend.

One option is to look at the writing skills of people in the copywriting area of the forum. If you like how they post and their sites meet your concept of quality, then approach them directly.

Ask for an apprenticeship of sorts. You get to learn alongside someone whose work you value, and they get the raw material for a new product - perhaps on mentoring or maybe by tracking your interactions and using that as the basis for a one-on-one style audio training course. The idea being that they would show you their initial brief and final copy, walking through what they produced and the motive behind it. When you gain skills, they could then give you the work to do and train/critique the result before tidying it up for their client.

Just a thought. As Apple say, think differently.

When walking, just walk.

ALAS...the campaign Apple ran WAS NOT "think differently" (though that is grammatically correct) -- but rather, "think different."

I stand corrected, thanks.

I'm not an Apple fan and so quoted from a (sometimes less than brilliant) memory that in this case was tinged with thoughts of Strunk and White .

I was talking of Hundreds rather than thousands, but very true you do get what you pay for.


It's more along the lines of a resource of making plr unique for them, rather than to create a salepage for the next best seller.

"Instant SalesLetters" might work i'll check it out.

Thanks for the help
