The Warrior Forum's First Copywriting "Bidding War"

Introducing...

The Warrior Forum's First Copywriting "Bidding War"

How much would YOU pay to hire one of the forum's busiest copywriters?

Hey Warrior,

I want to write your next sales letter.

And I want YOU to set the price.

Today, and today only, I am running the Warrior Forum's first (and only) auction for copywriting services. This is going to happen a total of one time - and never again.

So what's the deal? Why would I do this when I normally get $2,000+ for a single sales letter?

First of all, I'm doing it to say thanks. The Warrior Forum has been nothing but kind to me and by offering my services like this, I get to say "Thanks everyone!"

Secondly, it feels nice to help out newer business owners who don't have the money to pay my ridiculous fees. I enjoy helping people like you - and this is a fun way to do it.

Here's what you get if you win.

A full-length sales letter that is guaranteed to make you money
5 rock-solid Pay-Per-Click ads
A comprehensive review of your entire marketing campaign
30 days of testing to ensure your letter is pulling the best it can
My personal email and telephone number for easy access
My 100% satisfaction guarantee (see below)

Here's what happening.

Over the next 24 hours this thread will be the home to an auction for my services. The bidding starts at a measly $50. You can bid in increments of $50. So the first bid is $50, then the next is $100 and so on.

Once the 24 hours is over, (or I get a high bid that I don't think will be challenged) the highest bidder wins. He will then pay the full price within the next 24 hours by either Paypal or credit card.

How to bid.

You can post here or PM me with your bid. If you PM me, I will post the bid here - minus your username.

Please use this format. It'll make it easier on everyone.

------------------------------------

My bid: $250
Comments: Yay! A bid!

------------------------------------

Here's my guarantee.

If, in the rare case, that you're unsatisfied with how well your sales letter is converting, we will work together until it is making the money that you think it should. If that takes a week, great. If it takes a month, so be it. You WILL end up with a letter that makes money - period.

This Offer Ends In 24 Hours

Plenty of marketers and copywriters use scarcity to get people to purchase from them. Much of the time, they don't actually mean it. I mean really, how can you put a cap on how many digital products you sell?

This is different. I'm offering my time, which I get paid quite handsomely for, at a steal. I can only do this once without breaking the bank.

You're never going to see something like this from me again. Unless I want to go out of business (which I don't) I won't be able to offer a deal like this again.

So let the bidding begin!

Thank you,
Chris Ramsey

Chris Ramsey · 09-02-2009, 11:33 AM

I've had a few ask for samples of previous work via PM.

Here are a couple links.

Fun and clever offer, Chris... as one might expect from you.

My suggestions is bid early and bid high, folks.

Chris is a really talented and a formidable new name that
you'll be hearing more and more of.

Frankly, I almost wish he'd shut up and quit being so damned
useful. He's making me feel old and sluggish.

Great opportunity here to get someone good for cheap.

Don't miss this one.

Best,

Brian

Chris Ramsey · 09-02-2009, 04:30 PM

Thanks for the good words Brian. As always, I appreciate it!

sm2007 · 09-02-2009, 05:02 PM

$150 here

Phil Jones · 09-02-2009, 05:04 PM

$200 from me... this is a complete no-brainer

Chris Ramsey · 09-02-2009, 05:31 PM

I like where this is going

I haven't had any bids via PM yet, so we're just now up to $200.

Who wants it for $250?

Chris Ramsey · 09-02-2009, 05:46 PM

Lol, come on Paul... You know you wanna

Chris Ramsey · 09-02-2009, 06:20 PM

Just got a PM from an anonymous bidder for $300.

Next bid is for $350.

Lisa Gergets · 09-02-2009, 06:25 PM

I certainly don't doubt your honesty, Chris, but really, the bids should all be placed on the thread. How are Warriors to know that you're not doing the up-bidding yourself? Just a thought.

I understand what you mean. I've allowed PM's for anonymous bidders only because I've had a few clients in the past who didn't want their real name associated with the products they sell. Many of them were Warriors.

Also, what purpose would it serve me to bump the price and run the risk of ending with the final bid? I wouldn't have any new clients at all from that.

Thanks for the thoughts Tinker.
