A funny thing happened on the way to the forum...

13 years ago

And others will find crazy.

His name is Glenn Osborn and here is one of his successful promotions:

How to HYPNOTIZE People With Words - NLP Copywriting Course

And here is his archive:

Welcome to EnchantedNLP.com

Those of you using QR codes might find this interesting:

Anyone here receive direct mail from Boardroom or Rodale? - SOWPub Small Business Forums

His Enchanted NLP site is, A) enchanting B) Bonkers. You decide. It is hard to argue with the success Glenn has had.

He doesn't follow the traditional rules of copywriting, seems to have created his own catagory. Anyhow, be careful, you could spend hours reading Glenn's promotions.

ON to JOBS for COPYWRITERS.

Thanks to you who have sent me your ROLODEX information I'll be in touch right after the holiday here in USA. A couple of good questions have been asked...

"Gordon, are there any potential jobs in your rolodex?"

Let me give some of the newer copywriters some general info...here at the WF, and at this forum, the EMPHASIS is on Internet Marketing (as it should be, that's what the WF is about)...

but there is a great big world out there.

So far, I've had copywriters from here tell me they write:

Biz Op
Health
Financials
Self Improvement
Diet (separate from Health)
Internet Marketing

and a few other interesting catagories I won't share just yet.

Now Biz OP isn't ONLY those ads you might see in Money Making Opportunities magazine...go visit Entrepreneur.com and see the hundreds of businesses who are seeking people...

And they are mailing out millions of FOLLOW UP letters to people who inquire. Sure, they send some email...but spend a few minutes over there and you see they want your MAILING ADDRESS.

And WHO writes the material that is sent? Good on you if you said COPYWRITER.

There is DEMAND. For good copy. In scores of different areas.

There are businesses, thousands of them...still MAILING out their promotions written by copywriters.

NOW, we see the QR codes, a couple of you SMART and savvy copywriters are using it...good for you, smart move...

and that is why I called your attention to Glenn...who writes MAGALOGS online...a 20 page sales letter to sell a 25 page ebook...

and that so he can MAIL them other promotions.

In HEALTH you have mainstream (think AMA to all the Associations) and alternative and it is a multi billion dollar niche if you add in the supplements and other health related programs.

Financial? Some of those guys charge 400 bux a month to receive their email newsletters and that isn't high end by any means. HOW do they sell their services...

mostly, by HIRING A COPYWRITER.

So, although there isn't any guarantee, and none is made or implied NOR should you infer it...

the common sense answer (to the question about jobs and the rolodex) is:

the more people you know...the more exposure you have...the more likely a BUYER of your particular services is likely to find you.

Thanks for your time and attention...and I am AMAZED at how diverse and talented some of you are. Here's hoping you remain in SOMEONÉ's rolodex for many years to come.

gjabiz

PS. I love Glenn's work. Let me know what you think of it, OK?

The most infuriating thing about Gordon is his incredible knowledge base.

Here I am trying to write a rather long marketing course and I check back in here just to take a breather.

Oh bother! He's posted again. Oh blimey! More links. More links than you can shake a stick at. To some very useful 'stuff'.

As fast as I discipline my mind, off he sends me on another tangent my insatiable appetite for knowledge never quenched.

And what's more? Now I've got another bloomin' half dozen tabs open. So much so for waking up this morning and telling myself to get more of a laser focus in action.

Gordon, you know I love it.

Thanks for all of the above advice. This is all excellent stuff and really, thank you!

Kindest regards,

Mark Andrews...

to separate out the customers we don't want.

We've discussed Glenn for several years and he seems to divide people into two groups...the majority who DON'T get him and hate his work...

or the minority...who become his lifelong customers.

He can be a tough read...especially if you are in a hurry...but he knows HIS market, he knows WHO his customer is and he gets them...and those that leave and shake their heads...well good...those he doesn't have to deal with.

Also, I don't know of anyone who TESTS more than Glenn does.

  Ahh that Glenn Osborn... he's made me money.
  
  Oh man his stuff is crazy fun.
  
  Working with it, you really, really get taken out of your
  analytical brain function and slams it into a creative force like no other.
  
  For me anyway.
  
  One such ad I created for a lawn care service where it used a
  popular nursery rhyme as a lead in.
  
  Oh man, talk about feeling uneasy running it
  in a newspaper.
  
  You had to go and write your ad by hand at the newspaper office,
  then have the lady read it and check it before she typed it up.
  
  Yep, I was squirming from the embarrassment.
  
  But I bit the bullet and ran it in every edition for that week.
  
  People were phoning and commenting.
  
  One guy read it and called out to his wife and said "come and have a look at this..."
  
  Over a year later after becoming a client, his grumpy self would smile to me and mention
  that ad.
  
  So a usually grumpy old "just give me the facts" kind of guy can be moved to take my desired action,
  then seriously, get out of your comfort zone and run a small test using his stuff.
  
  And the women lapped it up too.
  
  And the best part, you just might start having more fun in your business.
  
  I know I did after going through the pain barrier.
  
  GJ, thanks for the memory.

  Thanks for the kind words Ewen,
  
  Been a while.
  
  Glad to hear you did so well with some WEIRD copywriting.
  
  MY Copywriting Got 100 TIMES more profitable after I skimmed all of Dan Kennedy's books. Found ONE page that said, "I've made more MUNNY in the past 5 yrs than the previous 25 from using TAKE AWAY SELLING Psychology."
  
  Then Dan talked about ways to TEST or QUALIFY prospects Before you allow them to Buy.
  
  WOW.
  
  That resonated with me.
  
  CUZ it's Prrfect fit for the COMPETITIVE Entrepreneurs I LUV to Make Munny for and JV with.
  
  AND after lots of Testing I've come up with a Web CHALLENGE and 90% off Discount REWARD for my CORE Audio CD products that MAKES TEST Takers More Munny - IF they pass.
  
  That's right.
  
  Just PASSING My Test puts Extra CASH in your pocket.
  
  The Test that only 1 in 10 PASS?
  (Based on 1.4 billion Leverage from 3 mentors?)
  
  I - Give Away Thank You Notes (Then email me your results)
  
  II - Give Away 1.00 Instant Scratch off LOTTO tickets (Email me what happens)
  
  III - Give Away 1.00 Bills to clerks, cashiers, Waitresses, prospects/clients
  (The Test is HERE -- Red Nose Rabbit Reward Rankings List )
  
  Thanks,
  Glenn Osborn
  
  P.S. - Only 1 in 10 people I send to Red Nose Rabbit Reward Rankings List Have the BRASS ONES
  Required to pass my test. Even tho the above 3 simple ideas used with PROSPECTS can really JUMP your sales.
  
  Too Bad Because these 3 SIMPLE IDEAS were 200 Million Dollar to 500 Million Dollar munny makers for 3 Affluent mentors. Gary Halbert is the only known name.

  Just to remind me - did Glenn write the copywriting book "Heroin in Print"?
  
  I remember it from years ago (sadly my copy as long since vanished).
  
  I did create a few headlines using the techniques - which even I thought were barking mad.
  
  But great fun to do.
  
  And the results were startlingly good.

  Is Glenn still marketing stuff on eBay? I'm interested in seeing his eBay ads but I can't seem to find any. I looked through the archives at EnchantedNLP.com and didn't find anything. Searching Google and eBay came up goose eggs. I'm sure I'm not searching for it correctly. If anyone has a link I'd appreciate it.

  Hi Joe,
  
  Ebay has changed it's rules.
  
  #1 - You cannot sell ebooks. Since my books often contain Animated Step by Step Movies of the Sales Steps. NOT GOOD.
  
  #2 - Ebay does not allow you to PRE-QUALIFY or test bidders - so my recent products
  do not FIT.
  
  #3 - It takes me a lot of time to Embed Ebay sales letters with Key Words. So when
  I get busy - I don't Put Up Auctions for a while.
  
  However...
  
  I give away Literally 100's of Case Studies and Stories describing many millions of dollars in Sales in many market niches - in my Ezine Back Issues.
  
  They are stored at - Welcome to EnchantedNLP.com

  Hi Glenn, I loved the interviewed by Vinny!
  
  Just wanted to suggest that you sell your ebooks and other digital products on ebay by uploading them to Kunaki.com and telling the buyers that their product will be delivered to them on a physical CD.
  
  You can automate the shipping / delivery of your Kunaki CDs/DVDs using a program like MyDigitalDispatch.com plus surprise your buyers with a digital download link in the notification emails that you set MyDigitalDispatch.com to send to the winners.
  
  I don't think you have a problem with refunds but by using Kunaki you are also provided with a tracking number so you have proof of delivery and if the buyer disputes the transaction with paypal they will have to provide proof that they returned the product to you making it much more difficult getting a refund compared to a digital only product.
  
  Cheers,
  Steve

  This afternoon, I'm in one of my favorite restaurants and give the waitress a smile and a card.
  
  I think I said something like "You really look after me - and I hope this is a winner for you"
  
  She was truly stunned but delighted.
  
  Now the service is usually good, but this time it was exceptional.
  
  A super ever attentive waitress who made sure I was happy.
  
  The portions seemed a lot larger than usual.
  
  I wanted some extra bread - no problem.
  
  I don't normally have a dessert - but she insisted.
  
  Telling me there was no charge.
  
  On top of all that when I got the bill - there was a mysterious 20% discount.
  
  And...
  
  Sarah, my new best friend, told me the days she worked, and hoped that I would pop back.
  
  I think I might just do that.

  Happy New Year Copywriters,
  
  ---------------
  The 1st Thing I learned from Ken was OPM thinking.
  
  He'd called up to PRE-SELL me a few 1000 of his books to use as Thank you Rewards
  for my customers.
  
  UNSAID - was his strategy of using OPM to go to a book publisher and PRE-ORDER
  100,000 copies of his new book at a reduced fee.
  
  ----------------
  The 2nd Thing Ken Taught me was about a F-r-e-e Ezine.
  
  Ken said, "I went from zero to over a million subscribers by starting a "Marketing Tip
  of the week Ezine."
  
  So I started a Free Ezine - too.
  
  -----------------
  The 3rd Thing Ken and I Talked about was how he put ideas into short reports and sold
  them.
  
  Ken told me how he'd used Short Reports to Get Tens of thousands of Nurses to Buy
  HIS Insurance rather than a competitors.
  
  (Ken called the Presidents of Nursing
  Schools and offered to send 100's of "How to Avoid Hospital Lawsuit Reports to their
  Professors.)
  
  ------------------
  LASTLY - Ken showed me how he combined his best selling Reports into Books and Manuals
  to sell for 99.00 or 199.00
  
  This LAST idea I've borrowed to test and compile New Products from my most
  Successful newsletters.
  
  For Example -
  
  My New Book on how A SMILE puts people into a Hypnotic Trance
  is selling very well - After I Tested a dozen Ezine Reports.
  
  Here's the HEADLINE of the Ezine that
  boosted my "Triple Smile" book sales by 90% -

Thanks Pete,

You asked about some of the Hidden In Plain Sight - Copywriting Psychology
used in my "Two-Headed NLP Copywriting Course."

#1 - We've adapted the Gary Halbert 1.00 Bill letter for the 1st page.

A Poem Is the Grabber - instead of a 1.00 Bill.

#2 - How Can a POEM be MORE VALUABLE Than a 1.00 Bill - You Ask?

Answer - "When the Poem was used by a client in an ad that grossed thousands.

#3 - At the same time... Lots of People sell Copywriting books and courses.

HOW DO I SET MINE Apart from and Above the rest?

1st - I Start the SAles letter with a Silly POEM.

2nd - Then a POETRY Testimonial that made munny.

The READER is SHOCKED.

Stunned.

Smiling or Laughing.

Cussing to himself. Calling ME - the author a NUTCASE.

This is GOOD.

The Reader has been Prepared to EXPECT Something New, Different and Zany.

#4 - Now We Explain WHAT "2-Headed Copywriting" is about...

Mis-direct the Conscious Mind of the reader - with words.

While you Hypnotize the readers UNConscious mind.

WHICH
CREATES
Big
Curiosity...

ALL This Happens on PAGE ONE.

SOME READERS - Jump to the end - and look at the Bullets in the Table of Contents.

Some Readers - SKIM down the page and STOP at Subheads

A Minority READ the letter.

But we don't care.

Cuz We've planned for all 3 kinds of readers.

EVEN THOSE WHO Do Not Read anything but the HEadline - THEN ORDER The "2-Headed
NLP CopyWriting E-book Manual."

Our 365 Day 100% Munny Back Guarantee
Makes Sure They are HAPPY too.

Way way Ahead of them Feeling Buyers Remorse.

I don't want to
Get too Detailed
in one note.

Very Few People EVER ASK about the NLP or the Psychology I learned From Gary
Halbert, Ted Nicholas and Joe Sugarman - that I incorporate into my copywriting.

Probably bore the sox off you.

Thanks Pete,
To Be Short & Sweet,
And Not Drag My Feet,
Duplicate or Repeat...

In My Best Sales Letters I like to Tell True Stories --from Entrepreneurs-- that SEEM Like Fantasy Make Believe.

As we all know - the TRUTH is stranger than fiction.

I Learned this From Dan Kennedy.
He has an entire CD program about
why the best copywriting imitates
Comic books and fiction.

And was recently Reminded that many Successful writers and Entertainment Companies LIKE DISNEY - are based on Fairy Tales and Fantasy.

In a Recent Ezine I Shared one of the Best Books I've EVER FOUND about the
Hidden Psychology aspect of copywriting.

In your most simple terms, no riddles, no more poetry, no offense, sock it at me the benefits to this copywriting approach in plain English, would you be so kind?

Cheers!

Pete Walker
==========
==========
Thanks Pete - This is Glenn AKA Steve Osborn

In Plain English.

100% of the WEIRD NLP Sales letters at my archive are Successful. Meaning
people order them constantly. If an offer bombs I trash it.

The Benefits to My NLP Writing is that I Attract Fellow Entrepreneurs. Keep
the other 97% of the population Away.

Because they can't Understand.

YOU CANNOT READ Some of my More ADVANCED STUFF C-O-L-D TURKEY - to Understand it. You must work your way up to that level.

IN SHORT - You Must APPLY an Invisible NLP idea to "GET IT."
Then when you READ About it in THE NEXT Product - You WANT IT.

It's tough to explain.

I get E-mails all the time from people who say, "You're Crazy Dude."

OR

"I read your sales letter and I don't GET IT."

WHICH IS OK.

Because every day I get Referred to new Ezine Subscribers who DO GET IT.

They USE an idea from the 100's of millions of dollars worth of F-r-e-e CASE STUDIES at my Welcome to EnchantedNLP.com

They make munny.

They Want to make MORE. So They ASK what they should buy NEXT. And Because of
My 365 day 100% Guarantee on Everything I sell.

I ask questions - suggest an item I can Guarantee will help them.

Like This Man - who emailed tonight.

I've helped him with his Roller Rink Concession Stand.

A Trash Hauling Biz

A Construction biz

Now he wants to start a BBQ Restaurant - Next to a Golf Course.

So He Spent 700.00 for "What Billionaires Know that Millionaires Don't" - which I know
will zoom his sales. (It costs 7000.00 for outsiders who haven't passed my Test - at
Red Nose Rabbit Reward Rankings List )

I'm not trying to be elusive or mix up your Chakra's!

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn AKA Steve

P.S. - Here's Blake's Email...

Thanks Glenn!

Well alot has happened since I last spoke to you.

Thanks for the ideas to send to the dentist. I'll get those over to him this week.

I've ditched the trash company idea(for now), and had a no brainer opportunity slap me upside of the head.

I'm opening a restaurant with Tim(one of the rink owners), the main feature is going to be real wood fired smoked BBQ.

He asked me a while ago about going in on a restaurant and after thinking about it and looking at the demographics, and the building is literally right next to an 18 hole golf course, I said yeah.

But that not the best part - this was a foreclosure and is 90% fully equipped with tables chairs, ovens, stoves, cooler, freezer, ect... AND for the 1st year the lease pay ment will only be $1000 and thats after 3 months FR EE!

Now since I will be the partner, I will get to flex my marketing muscles all I want.

Ok, well that wasn't the reason for my email.

I wanted to tell you I want to buy the "What billionaires know that millionaires don't"

  Thanks to the twisted Glenn Osborn for the props and anyone brave enough 2 listen to the trifecta interviews that sucked more then 4000 archived listeners down the proverbial rabbit hole.
  
  Glenn remains one of the most interesting and compelling figures in the game......and more importantly he drew huge numbers on my show for which I greatly appreciate. He also delivers the "goods."
  
  Spend some time on his website.....and if nothing else get on his free list....because it's one of three I actually SAVE.
  
  Thanks 2 Ron Douglas, James J Jones, Azam Meo, Jason Moffatt, Jason Fladlien and too many real legends to mention. I appreciate you all.....more importantly I appreciate those who stuck by my show from day one....cuz damn....we had more number one hits then Elvis........true.
  
  Unfortunately due to a new more sinister health issue....I will be doing 3 more shows and then poof.......it's time for someone else to step up and "bring it" when it comes to the sales and marketing end of Blog Talk Radio.
  
  It's been 3 glorious years.....and I always said the day I couldn't bring A game....was the time to quit.
  
  So I'm thinking carefully of who I want on the remaining shows.....and most likely I'll bring Glenn back for one FINAL SWANSONG.
  
  I have already deleted all my blogs....and things are getting a lot slower for me now...and truthfully I can't bring it like I use to...not to mention those who served as muses.......decided that once I became damaged goods......it was time to "move on."
  
  How many times have I said on my show that in the final sunset you will be lucky to count the friends ....true friends.....on one hand. It's true. Sad but true.
  
  I have enjoyed everyone minute of every show. Some were GREAT, Some...so so....and some I'm sure I was "tanked" and they probably "sucked".
  
  But they all came with a real opinion...not some white soggy bread....limp dick answer. That's the legacy of over 120 archived episodes that will last long after I'm gone. Love it or hate....we never were wishy washy. Nope.
  
  That's all I can say...for now.

  What can I say Vince?
  
  I've really enjoyed listening to your Blog Talk Radio shows over the years, especially the interviews with Glenn Osborn. He is something else isn't he. I've got him emailing me now bless him. Lovely chap, splendid fellow, just like you - a heart of gold. Wonderfully unique and a real character. A pleasure to makes one's acquaintance. And that goes for you too.
  
  We share the same birthday Vince, you better bloody well make it to the next one and the one after that and a few more yet. Can't have you kicking the bucket on us all just yet.
  
  Don't take this in a queer sense but here's a big hug for you (((((Vince)))))
  
  See you on the other side, send us a broadcast or two from heaven would ya? And keep your hands off the gorgeous women up there!

  Hi Vinnie,
  
  I just got this email from a friend in a hors-pital bed.
  
  From his Blackberry.
  
  ----------------------------------------
  Thanks, QR code testing on hold.
  
  Been in hospital for:
  Heart Failure/
  Endema (Unable to get my shoes on + Moving like I was 102)
  
  Sulfa Allergic -REACTION (Skin looked like Pink & White Zebra)
  
  LIME disease (Heart BURN from Doxe? feels like I ate a car, breakdown FLARE!)
  
  Any FIX 4 my Heartburn?
  
  Your QR work is right on point, GREAT Stuff!
  
  Thanks,
  Fred
  ----------------------------------------
  So I Email my Friend Sonja - (With the 30+ 100% Munny Back Guaranteed Herbal Products - s old in 15 countries 300 mil dol lar Biz.)
  
  She is on an airplane to Holland - right now. As I write this. Scheduled to give a speech to 400 business prospects.
  
  In FIVE Minutes she emails me from her APPLE iPad: (THANKS STEVE!)
  
  ----------------------------------------
  hi Glenn, Mike has great results with Relief if he has heartburn. he used to take medicine for it but now, with just 1 capsule a day he had no problems anymore.

  SO.
  
  This "Relief" herb stuff is ok for Fred to take too.
  
  I email Fred back. (name changed)

  Thank u Glenn. I do appreciate all you have done in terms of giving me the very best in information.
  
  I'm afraid....I should have listened and implemented sooner.
  
  No offense 2 anyone....I would prefer not to discuss my health any more.
  
  I don't feel sorry for myself....and do not wish anyone else to.
  
  Rather....I am blessed that I have managed to do things others could only dream about. What ever happens happens.
  
  This is a copywriting forum.....let's keep it on point. I do appreciate the kind words....but I aint no martyr.
  
  We all must lose at sometime or another. Be it in the game of biz, love, or life. Cuz we all must die.
  
  My ass aint dead yet......and out of respect for my family I'd like to continue to go on as though everything is peaching friggin' keen.
  
  I hope that makes sense to some. I kicked cancer in the ass 9 years ago....who is to say it can't happen again? What do I know for sure? The more u focus on the "problem" the more you accentuate it. Vinnie is gonna be ok.....even if he aint. Cuz what is supossed to happen will happen...and I can live or die with that......true.
  
  Now.....what about those friggin' Yankees and Redsox....all the money in the world...and they are sitting at home. Almost poetic justice capiche. Living proof that just cuz the teams with the big payrolls SHOULD WIN IT ALL....DON'T MAKE IT SO. AND SAME GOES FOR QUACKS.
  
  peace, Vince
  
  p.s. For those of you looking for the most twisted book on copy writing ever CHECK OUT GLENN OSBORN'S BOOK....CUZ IT WILL GIVE YOU A FRIGGIN' SEIZURE FOR SURE...IT'S THAT BAD ASS.
  
  AND BIAS ASIDE.....BRIAN MCLEOD AND DAVID GARFINKLES FAST EFFECTIVE COPY.......IS SIMPLY THE BEST PRODUCT EVER IN TERMS OF TEACHING COPYWRITING AND IT SO OVER DELIVERS IT'S ALMOST EMBARRASSING HOW LITTLE THEY CHARGE.
  
  TOSS IN GARY HALBERT ANYTHING....AND GO TO TOWN PEEPS.
  
  MUCH SUCCESS 2 U ALL 4 REAL.
  
  May U Live 2 See the dAwn.

Hi Friends,

While helping my ezine readers start their own businesses I came across the #1
woman Distributor in the world for a Herbal Wgt Loss product.

I tried the the pills - AND SUDDENLY WAS NOT HUNGRY - I didn't eat breakfast, lunch or dinner that day.

YIKES - NO HUNGER for 19 hours.

(THEN I read the directions and noticed I'd swallowed all 4 pills instead of 2 a day - OOOOPS. Still - I was impressed.)

I Did some Research and discovered 100's and 100's of happy customer Testimonials. NOW I WAS INTERESTED. Because I can turn Success Stories into munny via Copywriting.

AND since the all Herbal Pills are 100% munny back Guaranteed - NO RISK for me.

AND Since Sonja has built a 300 million a year business by sampling these Herb Pills.

Perhaps We Can Make Some Munny too.

So.

Here is how I Got Started - Testing These 3 Headlines:

I phoned 10 of my buyers.

READ them all 3 headlines.

ASKED Their Opnion, "Which Headline do you like best?"

ONE Headline got 300% more votes than the rest.

And 9 of 10 Bought a box of 28 packets. Cost is 3.07 per packet OR 85.96 per box.

-----------------------------
YOUR COPYWRITING QUIZ Challenge - Should You Decide To Accept it...

GUESS which is the winning Headline.

And Since THESE People Voted with their WALLETS. My Copywriting mentor Gary Halbert is smiling down at us from Copywriting VALHALLA. Gary always said the best test is customer MOOLAH.

Cold - hard - Cash.

Ok.

READY - set - Guess.

Which Headline got 3X More Votes?

I - "Proof Four Herbal Wgt Loss Pills Makes you 10.00+ a Day"

II - "Send Me 3.07 & I'll Send you a 10.00 Bill - 30 Days in a Row"

III - "Pay Me 85.96 & I'll Send You 300.00 A Month

ACTION SUMMARY -

(Ted Nicholas says LOOK FOR THE HIDDEN Benefit. I figure if lunch and dinner cost 5.00 or more each. And When you add snacks. 10.00 a day CASH results from NOT EATING.
See? A hidden Benefit - To GRAB the Reader and Pull them down the page.)

I'll post the winning 3X Headline in a few days.

AND

After the finished sales letter starts to pull in the bucks - I'll put a link to that here too.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

P.S. - Just Suppose You want to SEE More Munny Making Ideas and The REST of the Testing that goes into one of my sales letters? Check out my archived Ezines at the bttm of this website...

Alex

You know Alex, it isn't anything to do with either of my Bentleys or anything else I have.

I've never said anything to brag...only to try and help motivate others to realize what can be achieved.

When I was starting out...I had nothing.

I sought out successful people and learned from them -- I would talk to them and pick their brains, trying to learn from their experiences.

You can learn more from real life than you can from books.

There are times I get upset with some of the comments posters make to other posters...when all they're doing is asking a simple question, or trying to offer some helpful advice.

I'll leave it at that.

Thanks Max,

I called back and Thanked Gary for bluntly telling me my voice mail message SUCKED.
My customers were to POLITE to say anything.

Just as I'm Thanking Max for telling me his Opinion of my first Three Headlines.

Testing ideas is about Making Mistakes. You can't get up on your high horse at the testing stage because There IS NO right or wrong Opinion.

People who give their Candid opinions ALWAYS help me make munny.

Anyway...

You know the old saying that ACTION Always trumps doing nothing.

Just Suppose all 3 of my 1st three Headlines SUCK?

I'll write some more and test them too.

I already s old 753.00 of Herb Wgt Loss products - during my phone headline testing.

PLUS

I myself ALWAYS Guess Wrong on Any Headline Test I take.

So Max saying he doesn't like any of the three headlines is HELPFUL. Thank You Max for Voting your Opinion.

Thanks for Voting,
Glenn Osborn

@VegasVince & others who referred to Glenn Osborn & EnchantedNLP.com: a huge THANK YOU! This was the oddest and most thought-provoking thing I've seen in a long time!

I listened to the first radio interview yesterday and am listening to the second one right now. Checked out the site and it's fascinating: Glenn doesn't really use graphics. He has typos and grammatical mistakes in his copy (and who cares). He lists the contents of his ebooks and products (removing specifics, but leaving enough there so that you understand precisely what you're getting). I learned a lot about qualifying visitors, and what that qualified reader will "put up with" or find interesting.

The "Ugly Copywriting" page was enlightening...it was like getting a description about what's around something...kind of like an outline of the shape, and you take what you can from that and try to conceptualize what it's really like. I can tell you I went right back to one of my websites and rewrote the copy immediately to be what I thought "Ugly" was all about.

Thanks Jason,

Great Insight on my "Style" of Copywriting.

I hadn't thunk of my Writing in that way before. But your comment is accurate. Mil
Gracias. I'm ALWAYS learning new things from others.

DO YOU KNOW WHY My Archive Seems So ODD?

THREE REASONS -

#1 - The archive CONTENT is mostly
Munny Making Case Studies & Testimonials
Created INSIDE A MASTERMIND Of TWO.

If You are Outside - Looking in -- the MASTERMINDED Ideas may seem ODD.

#2 - I'm Imitating Richard Branson's Copywriter - who Uses Words to Talk to our
UNconscious Minds. So it may look ODD on the Conscious Level. (But every Sales letter
at the archive is there cuz it's made 1000's of dollars. The DUD's you don't see.)

#3 - ODD because the Info IS ODD, Strange & NEW.

I ENJOY Testing ideas on the EDGE of or Beyond my Understanding.

Knowing
that
no cost/low cost Testing
Will Create MASSIVE SUCCESS
with BIG Ideas we've borrowed
from watching Billionaires apply HUGE ideas.

For Example:

I got a phone call from a BIG RED NOSE Testing Ezine Subscriber...TED. (Not his name)

Ted Owns a chain of Pastry shops in Brazil.

Ted has a Complaint: "There are NO good books or Courses or Seminars on how to Sell FOOD."

"True, I've looked also." I reply.

Ted says, "But you have specific food Sales Ideas and Promotions from all over the world -
on your archive. Can I hire you to Adapt them for my shops?"

I said, "YES, but - 1st - Let's make you some munny."

A - I Told Ted How I'd ALREADY adapted the Claude Hopkins Copywriting idea that Took Schlitz to #1 for my other food store clients. And how He can Adapt it to sell 30% to
50% more Chicken Pastries.

A FREE few Million smackers.

B - I gave him a Proven idea to boost his sales Another 20% - 30% - by changing what
his staffers wear. Already Tested in 7200 retail stores.

More Guaranteed Millions.

C - TED has studied NLP to help with sales.
But has not been able to apply it in his stores.

I asked Ted if he'd Like to THINK BIGGER w/NLP?

Test An NLP EMOTION idea Disney, Vegas Casino's,
Barnum & Bailey Circus, Jimmy Buffet, Richard Branson And George Lucas
Use - To ByPass the Conscious Mind.

PERSUADE the UNconscious Mind to Buy More & PAY MORE - Using Invisible Hypotic
Words and Colors and Psychology?

So he can Raise his Pastry Prices.

TED didn't Understand how having his bullet train Attacked by Indians ON VIDEO -
UNconsciously
convinces people to PAY MORE to ride Richard Branson's trains.

Disney WABBITS - Boost Buying
Buffet Parrot-heads
Lucas - OBFUSCATION Movie tricks
Vegas Casino - Mis-direction at the tables and Slots

BUT...

TED wants to learn More so He asked me to send him Links to BUY -
"UGLY Copywriting"
which contains 100's of examples of UNconscious EMOTION Copywriting.
And
"What Billionaires Know that Millionaires Don't"

So he can better Understand How to SELL MORE With PRINT - Using "Carnegie Competition
Psychology" in all his store signs, Table top Displays, placemats, printed flyers, bags and Buttons.

============
THINK of My Style of Copywriting As My Version of the NEW UNconscious WRITTEN
Language Being Used by James Patterson, J.K. Rowling and other #1 Authors.

Plus Going the EXTRA 100 MILES - in Value Added.

  For some reason Glenn, you just make me smile.
  
  Anyway, I've been following your advice. Riding on the coat tails of my previous catch, going out with for nigh on almost a year a former senior vice president of Wells Fargo Bank, I thought to try my luck once again with another banking chick - this time at my local bank... one of the cashiers there.
  
  A lovely lass with the most fetching smile imaginable. (And fantastic tits on her it's got to be said.)
  
  So, when I saw her there a few days ago on cashing a check, with the wind howling and the rain bleating down sideways outside, I looked at her and I said fast...
  
  "Tickle-yer-ass-wi'-feather?"
  
  Well she blushed a little bit and grinning from ear to ear leaned closer and said, "Pardon?"
  
  You know, in that way that only an English lady of class can say, "Pardon?" (Mark grins.)
  
  So I looked her in the eye and repeated myself, "I said it's particularly nasty weather?" And nodded...
  
  ...in the direction of the window, my eyes sparkling mischievously.
  
  She gave me a somewhat quizzical look smiling from ear to ear which plainly said, 'are you sure that's what you said first time round'?
  
  Long and short of it the story is...
  
  I think I might have got myself a date. And I couldn't have done it without you Glenn. Keep up sending those emails.
  
  Quids in the rate we're going we'll take over the bank at this rate.

No matter what you might feel about Rentamentor...

I want to share my appreciation for Glenn Osborn (Rentamentor), who spent A WHOLE HOUR AND TWENTY-THREE MINUTES with me on the phone today! Simply because I took the action step to call him.

He was in the midst of writing a sales letter for some company in Brazil I think, and dumped that high-paying work to talk to me. He could have had a cat nap instead, so I definitely am thankful.

I have a ton of notes from our conversation and man did it go anywhere and anywhere! Just ONE of the major things we discussed: I've been marketing to the wrong audience! Using the wrong bait and in the wrong pond! Thanks to Glenn, I now have a laser-precise means of getting in front of and the attention of my target.

Think what you may about Glenn Osborn; he's showing what The Golden Rule really is.

Thanks Andrew & Jason,

I've Read Two Books by Richard Branson...

"Screw it Let's Do it"

And

"Losing My Virginity"

AND

In at least one of his Virgin Airlines Commercials Sir Richard tells a Stewardess,

"Let's get it UP"

Then GRINS at the camera.

AND Yes - in all his Print Ads - Anyone who rides with Virgin Air - is called a JETroSEXUAL.

DO
YOU
SEE
A TREND Here?

CALL ME CRAZY - But I wanted to TEST THIS Jetro-sexual Style of Copywriting
Myself. in Person.

Here's An Exercise I Give to Customers who want to FEEL and EXPERIENCE - in person -
What's it's like to EXCITE the Opposite Sex -- IN PRINT.

(ATTN Ladies - You Might wanna wear Tennis Shoes to Try This.)

With Words Only.

IN Person.

Face to Face.

WITHOUT Saying a Single Word.

You WRITE the Words "May I Have a KISS?" on paper and hold it up so she can see it.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn
-----------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS to - JETRO-SEXUAL - Face-to-Face Copywriting

I have a customer.

Former soldier - who actually took classes from Napoleon Hill.

Anyway - he wanted more attention from the nurses.

Especially the pretty ones.

So in the veterans hospital - here is what he does.

A - Puts 2 chocolate kisses in his (Closed) hand

B - Walks up to a Cute nurse SMILES BIG and says, "Can I give you a KISS?"

(Us Copywriters - Hold Up The Words Instead)

C - She Looks STARTLED.

D - Then he holds up his open hand with the TWO CHOCO KISSES in it.

E - She goes "WHEW" - In RELIEF.

F - Then he says, "Don't I get a HUG, at least."

100% effective he says.

-------------------

I AGREE. My Only Advice is to be FAST to Open Your Hand to Show the Chocolate
KISSES. Or You Might Get In Trouble.

MY 1st tests were done with cashiers - cuz I figured I could RUN before they got
out from behind the counter.

But everything went SMOOTHLY. I got big smiles and laughter and sometimes a HUG.

Which is what I want whenever I write sales copy.

When Our words Create HUG size emotion in the reader - We've made a sale!
- Thanks
