    First your English grammer/spelling etc need work.

    I'll put the corrections (that I saw in the early part) in italics.

    Okay... I give up... I couldn't read any more and other people will abandon reading the sales page if you have that many errors in writing English. Secondly I really have no idea what you are driving at, at this point.... you are writing a letter to offer some other woman's services?? And I have WHAT to make me think that this is isn't just a bunch of hot air??

    So get someone to edit your English and tell me specifically what you are offering... don't use vague terms about this being a life-changing experience. What EXACTLY do I stand to gain?

    Yep. Matt and Anne are right. A critique isn't going to do you any good.

    Every single misspelled word... every single grammatical error docks your credibility and lowers trust. And that's not even the worst of it.

    I'm afraid it's back to the drawing board.

    How about "Too" should be just TO in the first sentence of text?

    I think your best option might be to employ a professional writer. The cost would most likely be repaid over and over.

    Hey guys thank you all the input is great... I had this corky idea and please understand I just wiped the letter up in a couple hours...Not following my normal plan of action that I do...but I am trying to make a point with case study video's on this project

    I feel people's biggest problem in not making money is they think every thing has to be perfect so they never TAKE ACTION...I wiped this up just from the top of my head and I will make changes from the results I get from testing tracking and tweaking...

    I feel I can document the money that comes in (as we had sales already...not many but my point is I am going to show people to just get going through it up and change it as you go...

      You can feel that way all you want, but if the conversion rate is too low then all that action you take can essentially be worthless.

      From the little I read you're headline needs major fixing and the rest is too over the top to keep visitors interest.

      Best of luck!

      I do agree with you that the biggest problem most people have is taking action. The average person on the WF has at least the knowledge of an average mid level executive at a top level ad firm, they never make a nickle with it because they don't take action, and that's a shame.
      That said, the action you take has to have some sort of thought process and planning behind it. I think someone else already mentioned this, but your domain name is not even spelled correctly.
      Look I understand bad spelling and grammar because if my 4th grader had spelling as bad as I do, Id be ashamed..but seriously you need to take some pride in what you release to the public.
      Anyway I wish you the best because you did at least do something most wont, which is take action. I just don't think the action you have taken is going to get you very far.

    The very least you must do is paste your copy into a Word document and run a grammar and spell check, then make the suggested corrections.

    Your copy, as it stands even today, is simply painful to read.
