Is this good copy for my Donation page?

15 replies
Hi. I wanted to get a better copy for my donation page. I currently made $21 off of it in a month which is cool, but I want to make loads more.

My current Donate copy on the page says:

You can’t be Earth Emperor without money. I only have a couple hundred bucks and donations can help me get money. You can donate below.
I decided to try something different and hope that this brings in loads more donations. Here is what I wrote:

Hi.

My name is Daniel Kemp and my dream is of becoming the very first Earth Emperor.

I like three things a lot; money, power and ladies.

This page is about money.

To be Earth Emperor money is very important, cause people don't take you seriously if you only have a couple hundred bucks and you live in your parents basement.

My goal is to get $1,000,000 in donations by September 9, 2009. The $1,000,000 is just to start me out so that I can take the $1,000,000 and use it to get even more money, and also get power and ladies.

Some things I will do with the $1,000,000 are:

1. Move out of my parents basement.
2. Start buying my own food, cause I will be in my own place and I'm not going all the way to my parents house three or more times a day to eat and snack.
3. Learn to dance from a professional, cause I like ladies and ladies like guys who can dance. I tried to dance by myself, but people told me I'm not that good and I need to get dance lessons.
4. Build my brand equity on the Internet by advertising myself on Google AdWords, blogs and other web sites that I think are good. I got this idea from Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary is very cool.
5. Travel to places around the world. You can't be an Earth Emperor if you don't know much about the Earth and the places on it.
6. Go to fancy parties and meet very rich and powerful people. I can become friends with them and they can help me get even richer, more powerful and just those things will probably get me many ladies.
7. Buy a new computer, cause mine is over 4 years old.

For every person that donates I will send you your very own original photograph of me with a "Thank you" message.

So say a nice lady named Opra sends me a donation for $25. I will take a photograph of myself and write something like "Thank you very much for your donation Opra. Love, Daniel Kemp". Then I will send that photograph to Opra's e-mail. That photograph will be her very own original photograph of me, Daniel Kemp.


You can be Opra and get your very own "Thank you" photograph of me. Just give a donation below:
Is it good copy that would make you donate? Anything needs to be changed or anything I need to add to it so that it will get me more donations?

      OK what is up with people saying I'm funny? Is it the way I look or what?

      I want to be taken serious.

        Haha it's totally your looks man.

        You're a freakin comedian.

        And I'm being serious.

        I like your style. With some clever marketing you could easily raise the million.

        P.S. It was all in the very best of senses!

    Being taken seriously and wanting to be the very first Earth Emperor don't seem to be compatible. You kind of remind me of Napoleon Dynamite though and people took him seriously, didn't they?

        OK that sounds cool but it's stupid.

        Being Earth Emperor means you own/control the Earth so why would you give pieces of it away? And why would you give pieces away for $25?

          Well, every emperor had nobility to back him up.

          Feudal system 101 - Ruling is a lot of work, so get others to do the tough parts for you, and then collect taxes.

          You'll still be Earth Emperor, but you'll have 'staff' that can be all high and mighty too in their own provinces; just not as high and mighty as you will be, obviously.

          On top of that, they'll be paying you for the privilege, so you'll have a constant source of income.

          I start to think you ARE serious.

          Really - you want the million - you better see the funny side of it... and play it real serious.

          Because if Mr. Future Earth Emperor wants to move out of his parents' basement, he needs cash. :rolleyes: People don't usually throw cash at you without something in return.

          Just give people a small island. One you won't use much.
