This will help you enormously. Grab it before Vin comes to his senses and takes it down.

      Hey Mark... does it help? This is one of those posts that I like to go back and read again - bit like a golfer practising his swing. Doesn't work for every gig of course. Suits Clickbank-style stuff best. Or WSOs come to think of it. (and God isn't there some crap there lately? Along with the straight-out scams being promoted here on the banner-ads.)

        Yes Sir, it is a big help! Thank you! I will also keep in mind your recommendation to use this type of writing on Clickbank and WSO types of products. Believe it or not, when one of you real experienced writers divulge information like that, it is an enormous help.

        Thanks again, my friend!

        God Bless!

        You're so right....the WSO section has plunged to new depths of low-quality crap.

        I sort of saw it coming, just like so many here had warned.

          And to think it's Aussies behind it too. [Facepalm] I just saw a banner add flogging PBNs- Private Blog Networks. The very thing that Google has in its sights. Not a good look is it?

    Hi Mal,

    Thank you for this post. I've always believed in and tried to emulate the copy greats, such as Carlton by using the "story approach" as best as I can.

    As you already know, writing is a never ending endeavor to be better. Hell, on some occasions I've written between 70-100 different heads for a project I'm involved with! I never get it right the first time. The storytelling aspect is to some people, including myself very difficult to get a good grasp of, let alone mastering!

    The report link you shared, is priceless! Breaks down the proper structure in which the message is to be delivered. I had an "ok" handle on storytelling, but this resource will sharpen my abilities immensely...and for that I thank you again for sharing this!

    Eddie

    I've got Seven Story Secrets in my binder. This magical binder is how I collect the myriad awesome reports I read over the years that I think contain valuable info.

    PUT IT IN YOUR BINDER. Or bookmark it. Something.

    Also, headlibs - I do what I do with mad libs and make it dirty LOL. But still a very useful tool.
