If you are worried that the FTC will clamp down on you
for exaggeration in your sales copy I have the solution. Whatever your product create another sales page absolutely identical. You just change one thing. You give the product a title "Hot cakes". In your original copy you can now truthfully say "This product is selling like hot cakes" Like it ? Well I have lots of other similar titles you can use. Watch out for a WSO soon. Harvey |

Until Harvey came along, I could only dream of selling anything like Hotcakes, but I want to say that thanks to Harvey's WSO taught me how to sell all my products like Hotcakes too!

LOL I love it! But in the long run why not actually be honest on your sales page? Seems like a no brainier to me.

I'm changing my name to HotCakes. Not the most masculine sounding name but bizness is bizness.

With reference to the OP, I do wish people would stop posting so-called 'advice' without providing clear video proof of its efficacy.
I have actually carried out my own tests and have found that hot cakes do not, in fact, sell as well as warm or cold cakes. I sold hot cakes by mail order for a while and the refund rate was unacceptably high due to people opening the package and claiming that the cakes were no longer hot on arrival. Scammers! Affiliates proved to be a problem too. Too many chose the same affiliate id - an X - and so at Eastertime differentiating between batches proved to be a nightmare. In the end I had to swallow the losses. Which may explain why I've now moved on to the diet niche. Martin |

Good idea but unfortunately 'hot cakes' are regulated by the FDA and using them in this context is illegal without full disclosure of their nutritional values.

The FDA is against DECEPTIVE advertising! There is plenty of precedent to support that. So doing what harvey suggests IS a violation. In fact, that would make it CLEAR you are TRYING to deceive and could make things WORSE! When all is said and done, the FDA does NOT care what you say! It isn't about words at all! It is about PERCEPTION! Trying to use words, no matter how true, to give the wrong perception is breaking their rules.

I think Harvey is on to something here.
The first product I sold on niche marketing I named it "Sliced Bread". It didn't sell very well as folks could buy the stuff locally and didn't understand mine was a downloadable product on how to slice your market to make some bread. So for my second product I have honestly been able to say that "This Is The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread". In the eyes of the FTC if I hadn't used that name for the first product I'd probably be toast. KJ |

With bated breath I anxiously await the launch of your proposed WSO. Perhaps you'll be kind enough to entertain some pertinent questions. 1. Will you use this strategy for the WSO? And, if so, how will you circumvent the traditional WSO protocol of only one WSO per product? 2. Typically marketing launches, WSO's included, include a compelling bonus. May I suggest, for the "Hot Cakes" only side of the equation, "hot biscuits* and sorghum syrup"? This is a bonus that will surely resonate with those among us who proudly live in the Southern US. Humbly submitted, Elmer Hurlstone *Kindly note these would be "biscuits" as defined in AmEng usage as opposed to the BrEng usage which actually refers to cookies, crackers and moon pies. | |

Moon pies are British, I think you might have confused it with moon cakes in China, which I tried to sell you or was it Peter Bestel. I was honest to say they were yucky, greasy, horrible, terrible.
