Hello Warrior Forum--Newbie ready to make his mark!!!

Boris,

You've gotten a lot of "go here", study this guy, buy this course, etc.

Some guys here have spent thousands of dollars (and a lifelong learning and study program of copywriting should be part of your plan) on courses and books and even mentors and haven't made a dime with their copy.

Give me your full attention for the next 10 minutes and see how things change for your mindset. This will prevent any information overload or paralysis by analysis which seems to doom so many.

PictoGrigm of Remote Persuasion

And then go back to my first post in this thread.

Think of yourself as the QB in a gym with a curtain. Behind the curtain is your WR, but he doesn't know you exist. You do know he is running patterns, so you can figure out where to throw the ball and if your timing is right, it goes through the curtain and hits him up side his head. Now you've got his attention.

The PictoGrigm of Remote Persuasion you see in the link is a "cryptic" message for how to write copy...thankfully, I have the code.

Copywriting is about finding a TARGET, a person or entity which may have an interest in catching your ball...don't bother throwing it at a soccer player, they can't use their hands, eh?

So, you must first get their ATTENTION, that is after you have some information about them, and know what they want/need or are searching for.

In order for me to write the first response (consider it a promotion, an example of copy), I had to visit your site and learn more about you, my TARGET.

Now armed with TARGET intelligence, I needed to get your attention, which is easy to do with a thread like this, because you asked for responses. But, I wanted to show you, that you can PRACTICE your copy skills while posting to the forum, eh?

So I wrote the subject header just for you.

How I made $1,000.00 a Day with my Resume Business in Akron, OH. Interested?

The number, the location the question were written for YOU. Because I know it would generate some interest, perhaps more than other responses.

Then came the Salutation, a PERSONALIZED ONE, which is a tested and proven effectiveness factor of Remote Influence.

Next came one of the most used and effective devices in all of Copyland, the Interrupted STORY...you'll see it time and time again as you study copy.

I'll tell you, but first

This draws you in. Then, I "hypnotized" you with code words. I knew you, because of my homework, would understand the code, while most of the readers had not a clue.

This was used to establish rapport, as was my "story", it introduced some cred, some familiar things which would resonate with you.

Next came my command, to make YOU give me your interested attention, if only for a brief moment.

All copy to this point, consider it to be my DECK copy in the post. Purpose of all deck copy is keep you reading, establish some rapport, arouse interest, SEE?

The PS picked up the story, satisfied the part of the brain which was anticipating it, and then, perhaps, aroused some desire. I followed classical salesmanship technique up to this point.

Then I teased a little and gave you a reason why you should read my next post.

In other words, my post was a thought out and measured response...as all good copy should be.

Now using my first post as the "example", look at the PictoGrigm of Remote Persuasion in the other window, and follow along the process, you being the TARGET on the Right, me being the QB on the left.

IF you use that one piece of paper, and do the steps it shows, you'll be head and shoulders above the pack, and it WILL expedite your copy career because you now have an UNDERSTANDING of what it is all about.

Copywriting is REMOTE PERSUASION using Sales technique.

Make it more complicated at the risk of delaying your income, OK?

PS. The fatal error that many noobs make is; they think writing copy is about them... and it's really all about their TARGET. They too often, put the cart before the horse. Always ready to help out a sincere student of the craft.
