Critique My Interesting Sales Letter!!!

17 replies
Guys,

I have decided to add a new skill to my IM arsenal. The ability to write persuasive sales letters that convert like crazy. It's a part of copy writing. And from today onwards, I've decided to attempt to write one sales letter a day.

Today I haven't completed in full coz it's getting late and I have to go to bed. Got to go to school tomorrow. Anyway I've made a start. Here goes my first formal sales letter:

How To Get Your Ex Back in 27 Days Or Less...
Guaranteed Or Double Your Money Back...
Dear friend,
I believe that I can help anyone get their ex back in 27 days or less regardless of their current situation.
Surprisingly, it only takes 12 psychological tactics to make your ex feel incredibly fascinated by you. Your ex will chase you around like crazy if you use these simple yet incredible psychological tricks.
And I am so confident of my Ex Back System that I am willing to offer you a 60 day money back guarantee.
More on that in a bit. But first...
PROOF THAT MY STUFF WORKS
My name is Tyler XYZ and the last few months has been a complete strange roller coaster journey for me.
Just about a few months ago, I was completely in love with a girl. She seemed too perfect for me and I believed her to be my soulmate. Fortunately, the girl too felt the same way about me.
I felt like she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Things were going well between the two of us. We used to chat all day and I used to keep showering wonderful expensive gifts on her. But the fire which was earlier present seemed to be diminishing.
I knew there was something wrong... But I thought, it will work out for itself. And I did nothing about it.
All of a sudden, she called me one day. She said in a sorrowful manner, "I need to talk about something".
And I was literally shocked about this alarming phone call and sorrow voice. She spoke the unspeakable "Things aren't going well for each other anymore. I think it's better if we give each other space and move on".
Whatever she said it the sorrow tone really devestated me. I started crumbling on the inside. I couldn't look at her. I felt extreme agony and wondered what wrong did I do.
Was I too rude to her?
Did i not please her enough?

I couldn't take it. I started calling her over and over again. She answered a few initial calls but then started ignoring me. When I called again, she said, "She didn't want to talk to me anymore". That was the final straw. I couldn't stand it.
I thought she was the love of my life and she wasn't there with me anymore. I would feel depressed every morning when I woke up, went to bed. The emotions I felt piereced through my heart and I couldn't stand them at all.
I kept on thinking about her and I felt that it was my fault.
Then I realized something:
If I kept thinking about her and had the same mindset, I was not going to get her. I had to become better. I have to attract her back by letting her know that she's made a wrong choice by breaking up with me.
I read everything that I needed to know about psychology. I studied books on relationship recovery, relationship management and dating dynamics.
I studied other people who successfully reconciled. I joined up forums and started looking for advice. At the same time, I made sure that I took active care of my social and professional life.
Within a month of studying these techniques and using them, I had gotten her back and we had moved in together into my apartment.
After getting her back finally, I chose to disclose my secrets. I didn't want them to be forgotten. I know how it feels to experience the pain of a break up. So I decided to help other couples get their exes back by sharing my newly gained skill and knowledge.
So I sat down and created the "MAGIC EX BACK SYSTEM - A Proven Blueprint To Get Your Ex Back In 27 Days Or Less!". My system is guaranteed to help you get your ex back in 27 days or less or your money back.
Here's How You Can Get Your Hands On My "Magic Ex back System"
The "Magic Ex Back System" Comprises of a blueprint of 51 pages which reveals the 12 psychological tactics you have to implement to make your ex feel irresistible towards you and have them fall in love with you.
If you follow my system, you will not only get your ex back but will also have more control over your relationships with your lover and others.

-----------------------------------------
That's all done today. I know I still have more to complete. I myself can tell hundreds of problems. Lack of call to action phrases, not an attention grabbing title and stuff. But let me ask you, what do you think of it?

Sales letter is not an article. If it was an article, I'd have written a beautiful high converting piece. But I sucked with articles too. So my first sales letter is bad. But can it be that bad? Critique...

Thanks.

    Uh are you sure this is an original piece? It looks kinda familiar. Forgive me if I am wrong, but it seems I have read this before somewhere.

      what have u read before? the story is my own unique creativity. although the structure of the copy is indeed a model... i'm trying to learn by modelling rather than reinventing the wheel.

      Instead of reading a big book on writing sales letters, i'm better off practicing it by modelling. I'm not going to put this online definitely. It's just practice.

        Actually, if you want to truly learn how to do copywriting the right way, you're better off practicing what you read. And if you're not willing to read a book, then you're not serious about copywriting. And if that's the case, then you really shouldn't expect anyone here to take you seriously.

        Forget about taking shortcuts. There are some truly outstanding copywriting books on the market, by some legendary copywriters. Why wouldn't you want to learn from the best? I could name 10 classics, right off the top of my head. But as not to overwhelm you, start by picking up a copy of Dan Kennedy's The Ultimate Sales Letter: Attract New Customers. Boost Your Sales.

        If your local library doesn't have a copy, you can pick up a copy on Amazon, for just a few bucks.

        I have read letters like this in the relationship niche, but I believe you if you say it's yours. I am learning copywriting myself, and I feel it's better to read books and learn that way. I think it helps you build your own style. Of course I am so new to it that I really can't say much either. If you learn from modeling, then that's great!

    That's a basic model and you are on the right track.

    I am curious though what guys in this niche are actually teaching and how they are advising men to get their ex back. With a guarantee like that, you might have a high refund rate, but it's worth a try.

    From the desk of Tyler XYZ

    How To Get Your Ex Back in 27 Days Or Less...
    Guaranteed!

    Dear Friend,

    Breakups suck. Especially when that perfect someone walks out of your life. But there is a way to get them back.

    How can I say this? Because I've known the agony of a breakup, and found the secret to getting my own ex back.

    PROOF: How I got my Ex back

    A few months ago, I was completely in love with a girl. She seemed perfect for me. I believed her to be my soulmate. I felt like she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Fortunately, she felt the same way about me.

    Things could not have been going better between us. We used to chat all day and I showered her with wonderful expensive gifts (I'm not a fool, or a cheap *******). But even with all that, the fire that was present at first seemed to be diminishing.

    I knew something was wrong, but I thought, it will work itself out. And I did nothing about it.

    Then it happened. She called me one day. She said in a sorrowful tone, "I need to talk about something." Suddenly I couldn't breathe.

    We got together later that day. I choked as she said the unspeakable: "Things aren't going well for each other anymore. I think it's better if we give each other space and move on".

    Noooo!

    I was devastated. Inside, I crumbled to the floor. I couldn't look at her. I was blinded by agony and hurt. I couldn't help but think...

    What did I do wrong?
    Was I rude to her?
    Did I not please her enough?
    Was I selfish?
    Thoughtless?
    Stupid?

    What was it?!

    I couldn't take it. I started calling her over and over again. At first, she answered a few calls, but then started ignoring me. When she finally picked up she said, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."

    How could this have happened?

    I thought she was the love of my life and then she wasn't there with me anymore. I was depressed every morning when I woke up, and depressed every night when I went to bed. I didn't eat, I hardly slept. The days were one dark blur.

    I had a constant headache and felt like I had been stabbed in the heart. The pain was unbearable. How could she leave me? It had to be all my fault. Then I realized something:

    If I kept thinking about her with that same mindset, I was never going to get her back.

    I had to do something different. I had to attract her back by letting her know that she's made a wrong choice by breaking up with me.

    I read everything that I needed to know about psychology. I studied books on relationship recovery, relationship management and dating dynamics.

    I studied other people who successfully reconciled. I joined up forums and started looking for advice. Here's what I found...

    Did you know it only takes 12 psychological tactics to make someone want you?

    I spent hundreds of hours studying these techniques. I put them to the test. After all, what did I have to lose?

    And guess what? I got her back! We are now living together and things have never been better.

    Maybe it was just a fluke. I got MY girlfriend back, but could my system help others? Here's how my "Magic Ex back System" helped others...

    Hope this helps,
    Raynay

      I'm pretty sure, some serial killer already wrote that book and sold it to Paladin Press.

    Not bad, but could definitely use some polishing. David Jackson is right on the money- study experts and emulate them.

    Good try and keep on practicing!

    From your example it looks like the guy did nothing wrong. I am just curious, what about if the guy was at fault e.g. caught cheating, would your system work? I am sure if you could write about that it may sound more appealing.
