Slow day, so I decided I'd give you the 3 best tips you could ever get to write copy.

Today will be tip #1.

If you follow these tips, you'll write better copy than 99% of all the copywriters out there and be so rich that your biggest problem will be how to invest all the cash.

Tip #1

You cannot and should not and should never try to build demand for your product/service.

Your goal is to supply a product/service for the demand that is already out there.

Here's why this is important...

First, you need to understand that when you start writing to sell, your mindset is important.

So, if you already know you're not going to try and create demand for your product/service, you're already making a good decision.

Just having the mental attitude that you're going to write to those who already are looking for what you offer is brilliant. You may not understand that right now, but, if you think about it long enough you'll get it. It's what makes the difference between a million-dollar campaign and one that bombs.

So, here's a summary...

Wrong

I need to make people realize this is something that they didn't know they needed.

Right

You already know you have a problem with this...here's why I have the best solution.

Tons of dollars and tons of typing are wasted every day on people trying to create demand for their product.

This concept is not new.

I didn't invent it.

Hope you understand this tip and get something from it.

Till the next one, best wishes

    • Was going through my files and came across this...

      "If you think you are creating demand for your product, you've doomed yourself to a lifetime of hard work and failure. You canNOT create demand for anything because demand is too large for you to create. The demand has to be out there. The demand has to exist before you even walk into the picture."

  • We used to use the SRDS book of lists back in the day, to find demand.

    Any tips on finding it today, and especially the low hanging fruit where a simple solution will be scooped up like ice on a hot summer's day?

    I know you prefer high paying fruit, and are willing to do the work, but for some of us old lazy SOB's (my dad being a barber and all)...

    Where might we find a demand, quickly, quietly and use minimum persuasion to get the contents of their wallets into ours?

    • Hey Gordon,

      with social media these days, I don't think there's ever been an easier way to target the people you want to target.

      Then you have Google.

      You have retargeting. The great thing about retargeting is you can retarget whomever you want. I.E. if what you're selling is something Frank's customers would like, you simply retarget all the ones that have left his site. Easy Peasy.

    • You didn't ask me, but I love hearing myself talk, so here is what I would say.

      You find demand based on what the prospects have already recently bought. It's why buyers lists are so valuable.

      Demand reveals itself by what they bought before. It's why joint ventures (if your offer is complimentary to what they already bought) are so successful.

      I used to run PPC ads on Google. The ads offered a specific deal in the ad itself. The price was included. Most of the people that clicked were the ones that already thought it was a good deal, and wanted what I was selling. Very profitable.

    • Gordan Jay,

      https://lists.nextmark.com/

      You can select for RFM lists.

      For those who don't know what they stand for...
      Recency
      Frequency
      Money

      They buyers list has been segmented into those which
      have the highest money value.

      The biggest number of lists on that site don't have that level of segmentation.

      Best,
      Ewen
