Hi guys

I'm a complete newb in copywriting so could use the help of some of you pro's

I have an ebook called 007 Lifestyle which is a step by step way to design your life in a way that will make sure you're always the centre of attention, that woman will want to be around you and that you'll have the money and mobility to travel.

I need however a photo of myself in my copy and can't decide wether it'd be best with:
  • A casual picture (taken in my room at my desk? profile or frontal? smiling or neutral?)
  • A portrait from a photographer and dressed up in a nice blazer (maybe black//white)
  • An action picture: Me rockclimbing, diving, with a girl
  • Something entirely different
The copy it will be used for can be found at eca.sh/newcopy
Do any of you pro's know which kind of photos convert the best?


Thanks in advantage for sharing your wisdom

      Half naked? Why stop there?

      The pic depends on how you want your readers to view you... as a serious literary writer... or as a jet setting playboy, the way they want to envision themselves after reading your book... either is good IMHO, it depends on the visual you want your readers to have of you.

      Close your eyes and pretend to be one of your readers, how do YOU see yourself in their eyes?

        You have a point lol Dunno why I stopped there. Anyone under 18 doesn't have a credit card to buy his book anyway , and the ones over can see what they want lol.

          This is an easy one.

          Check out and Google images for "James Bond". Mimic the poses and wardrobe. I think the one next to the car is appropriate.

          Or you can also have one standing next to a Bond girl.

          I'd probably avoid the ones with guns.

    Whatever you get, it should come across as believable and something that prospect can relate/want to achieve.....
