Copywriting , persuasion and illegal manipulation using forbidden techniques isn't rocket science !
The reason why I am posting this thread is because I see a lot of "Rate my copy" , "critique my new copy" , "copywriter for hire . paying $xxxx" and other threads somewhat along the same lines running parallel to a common goal of collective understanding that copywriting is ..
- Rocket science.
- Only professionals can write winning copy [ To a certain extent yes ]
- I NEED to buy the $1997 copywriting course which will teach me all and is considered to be the Bible in the current market.
- writing essays in record breaking time and then asking helpful experienced members here to do the heavy lifting for you .
Writing compelling winning copy takes time but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to be a seasoned copywriter for writing one.
Neither does it mean that it is rocket science and only a handful have figured it out and mastered the art of persuasive copy. If u think so ...STOP !!!!
I beg to differ. I wrote my first copy without any prior knowledge of copywriting rules and it still made a killing for me.
"But wait , Mr seomaster I still suck at writing copy !! Last time I did , not even a dire soul gave it a second look ."
The difference between u and me and even many people who succeed at writing good sales letters even when they have just started out IS .....
- They go out there and test , split test , multi test the **** out of it before asking for a critique .
- They are passionate about selling their product .
- They put in serious amount of time and effort into it before asking anyone else for a critique and tweaking advice.
- They actually believe in their product/service/business/offer.
Stop procrastinating . Stop making the common mistakes most of you do.
Stick to one good guide/ebook/course and apply those techniques.
Pick up any good name bob bly , john carlton , makepeace , tony flores , dan kennedy and actually go out there and implement that knowledge. Don't hop from one guide to another and waste time . Don't get lost in the abyss of information overload.
These guides show you the path , it is you who will have to follow it EXPERIENCE , MAKE MISTAKES , AND LEARN along the way .
Copywriting is not rocket science . It is hard work , testing and tweaking . It is practice . It is a continuous journey towards perfection....
All that is good , But who am I to endow such wise wisdom on you ?
I am no one . I am not a master copywriter . I am not one of the A league .
But what I can assure you is , whatever I just put you through is an honest realization I had when I was in your place , in those same shoes .
It worked out for me [ it still does
] and it will work out for YOU .Keep it simple . Achieving simplicity is the single most task which is difficult .
Don't write your copy using 100 rules . In the begining , YES ! test test test , find out whats working ....then distill it down to their core elements and always keep those 5-6 thumb rules handy while thrashing the things which doesn't work for that particular niche or market .
If u have any questions , feel free to PM me or post here .
before leaving ill give you one golden nugget which has always helped me out .
"You are the best critique of your own copy . You just need to change sides "

Have a nice day ahead , I wish you goodluck.
cheers !!
