The Sneaky System - The Rich jerk

2 replies
I liked the orange box in the sales letter that says "There Are Only X Spots Left
In Your Area!". I thought that may work very well. I refreshed the page to discover that the number "X" of spots left is just random. It ruined for me the little credibility the whole get rich quick sales letter had.

Would work quite well for newbies though, just like the fake discount offering customer service rep you get when exiting some sales letter.

    Some of the sales letters have a script that generates current date and says something to the effect "Buy it before midnight <current date on user's computer>"

    The kicker is when you change the date on your PC and refresh the sales page, the date will reflect the date change that you just made.

    Not everybody notices these things but it would be better to be consistent to catch the savvy consumers like yourself.

    The exiting pop up "trying" to look like an actual customer service person typing is another trick. It gets one or two times. I had some fun with it the other day. I started with question like "what time is it?" "why should I buy milk" etc, the "person" typing balked at it saying "Couldn't find answer, please type another question blah blah"

    In short, you can fool ("sell") some people some of the time but not all people all the time

    Once I saw that I panicked a bit, but then I realized it was just a script. It's very well placed and sure makes it look like you have to grab it before anyone else in your area does.

    This tactic will definetely work on the newbie who is not keen on this.

    It's a very good trick that will help to make RJ an extra boatload
