Hey guys, you seen this dude?

Commission Crusher - Triple Threat Commission Cloning System

What do you think about this style of copy... and this overall piece in general? I know it looks very similar to the usual blind copy launch products, which it is, but obviously even more outrageous than ever before.

Right now, I'm cringing. But after the first 10 minutes, the video pitch does get a lot stronger (when he starts talking about the elite groups in private forums etc.)

But then it falls on its' asse, then it picks back up, etc. All over the place, and still using the same "stolen secrets from the gurus" story, but definitely in a new style.

I don't know whether to clap, laugh, cringe or cry at this. He's certainly taking a risk, I'll give him that much.

Thoughts?

      I haven't liked this sales page because:

      1. These images looks as 100% fake or even taken from Google images:

      Code:
      http://digm.s3.amazonaws.com/images/lifestyle1.jpg
      HTML Code:
      http://digm.s3.amazonaws.com/images/lifestyle2.jpg
      2. Too much highlighted headings and "just look, how cool I am" style writings.

      3. Statements don't have personal feeling, so anyone, who knows at least a bit about of IM will feel uncomfortable.

    Despite all that, did you stick with it out of curiosity as a copywriter, or did something keep you there?

    If it's the latter, then job done. You just need to click the buy button.

      Exactly.

      There's the question in copywriting: is it making money?

      Best,

      As a copywriter. I'm not the target audience. I was basically posting this in terms of a copywriting perspective, not a review

    Ok, I admit it. I bit. I purchased the 'package'. 1/3 of what I bought is called the commission worm.
    I would have to call this about as close to being an exact copy of Massive Passive Profits as it could come....
    THANK you clickbank for your easy return policy.
    One down, 2 to go.
    Yes, his OVER THE TOP sales method is a little much. So many people bashing so many "GURUS". What an incestuous relationship. I'm so sick of this sh*t .
    Steve tells us all about ' those other mean, greedy, don't care about you' gurus.
    Not a good start, but I'm going to try and separate this and continue with the other items.

        There are a lot of really good products out there. I can't say if this one is or isn't I just didn't like the angle of the copy.

        If you are new the best thing you could do...straight away... is read this forum.. You'll find so much useful information here.

          Ok, I was kidding...
          I have bought a couple of very good programs through Warrior Forum.
          As for Commission Crusher, so far I can say his Ad Assault PRO software program is very interesting but all the info it gathers is readily available elsewhere. You would have to put a value on having it all in one location quickly.
          I really do have to plug Clickbank here. I have no qualms about returning products anymore.

    Hmmm, tough one to crit for me. Steve's a good friend of mine; crazy kid and he really IS making the money he talks about in the video. He's a good guy with a big heart. Maybe that's why this takeaway selling seems disingenuous; he loves to help people. His success came from modeling success personally and technically. It works.

    Random thoughts:

    Its incongruous to bash clickbank while selling a clickbank product and using clickbank income proofs.

    Interesting pitch. I don't think Steve used his usual copywriter for this one.

    The takeaway selling isn't done as well as it could be, too insulting and too early.

    He should have gotten a voice artist for the video.

    I actually like the graphic layout of the page, I like the way the video is done. It's very slick but there's too much highlighting and the subheads are too damn big.

    I stole the background image pattern

    I think it will sell well.

      I agree 100%.

      I still remember our cheesesteak run a few years ago with Steve and Brian McElroy.

      Interesting pitch. I don't think Steve used his usual copywriter for this one.
      It wasn't his usual copywriter who wrote it.

      My guess is because his usual copywriter has his own product launch coming up in the next month.

      Hahahahha I stole the image too

      BTW if anyone wants it, view the source and search for "bg". First result is the link to the image. Wait... is this legal?

      I was personally turned off by the letter itself. It's interesting that it works and the people comparing it to "The Rich Jerk" is like apples/orange IMO.

      Why? TRJ used a cartoon character... Kelly Felix himself said that he did it because he didn't want his customers to think he was really a "jerk". It was a fun, fresh (and effective) marketing ploy that got tons of recognition for it.

      The "Commission Crusher" just sounds like a tool because hes actually seriously insulting the prospect.

      Whatever works

      It just doesn't float my boat though.

          It makes me wonder though, as I'm looking to create my first info product soon. Is it more profitable to go down the route of making a solid, useful, product for a small market, or set the stage to make a paint-by-numbers, get-rich-quick "popcorn product" for the masses?

    Some or the statements in the sales letter are just hilarious.
    "I had to bribe security at their events to get it"
    "These were not men they were gods!"
    And it seems he got all the secrets to making money on line at a club stalking these gods while they were being chased by super models.

    Such copy is an insult to anyone with a bit of intelligence , totally for newbies.

    I really disliked the fact that the counter refreshes to 1hour 4 minutes every time ...

    Furthermore, I usually go right for the "Affiliates Click Here" section 1st before the "Buy Now" button when Im contemplating making any "course/video" purchase.

    I find the dude's intro video and his affiliate info quite contradictory - he basically tells you to forget everything most everyone else discusses with regard to IM or Niche Marketing and to follow his Commission Crusher program - then you go into the affiliate info and you see links for JVs, Affiliates, AND Clickbank.

    Whether or not the guy is making a ton of money online or off, i have to say he does tell a good story. I like how he mentions Michael Bay and the "Texas Nine," or whatever the hell he calls them - sounds like it would make a good movie.

    Just my 2 cents.

      "The Nine". There are only four of them. And apparently fatso Artie is their leader. Also, aliens are abducting humans and conducting experiments on... oh wait, sorry, that wasn't in his sales copy.

        There's at least one person in this very thread that both bought it and refunded it, if that helps. (see above)

        Awesome insights Bruce, I love how you can remain impartial, without saying "I'm not the market, so I think it's crap" kind of responses I'm seeing elsewhere.

        I think the problem is Alex, a lot of people are trashing it because they're getting sucked into becoming a prospect, instead of a critical, impartial copywriter who is looking to discuss the copy.

        I guess that speaks volumes for the copy. Even though you're not the target market, you're sucked into the sales process and quickly forgetting why you're there.

        According to my sources, it's killing it. Problem is, the conv rates aren't made public. So it could just be churning through volume.

        There we go. Says it all.

        Before I heard this, I honestly didn't know either way, apart from a source telling me that it was "crushing it."

        But that doesn't usually mean much. Conversion rates are more telling of an effective ad.

        What I find interesting is that despite the incongruence and contradictions... despite the massively long video... despite the outrageous claims... it seems to be working.

        Are the buyers naive, gullible, desperate, or just plain dumb? They must be, right?

        Well, not exactly.

        First of all, you don't know whether the product delivers on the promises made or not, so a buyer isn't dumb for believing in the copy, if the product does what it says... right?

        Secondly, I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I do consider myself to be of a respectable level of intelligence.

        Now, just a few years ago, you would have found me buying scammy little products every week, from websites that were two pages long and with no real substance in the sales pitch.

        Why did I buy then? Because they made a big promise, showed proof, and I was desperate for answers.

        In the years gone by, I have learned a staggering number of things about this business, what really goes on, how to sell, how to create products, how to market in all kinds of ways... and so on.

        So, I can look back at the days where I was lapping up the get rich quick products, and see the error of my ways.

        I don't regret it, because that's kinda how I got into the real business of making money online.

        It's kinda like applying for a customer service job, not winning it, then being asked to come back a few years later as the company director.

        (terrible analogy, but it's Sunday morning, and coffee isn't helping.)

        So my point is...

        It doesn't matter if you're not your market. What matters is having the ability to know your market... and I mean, really understand who they are and what they're going through physically and mentally.

        If you're writing copy for this guy, as a copywriter, it would be an advantage to have been in your target market's shoes, despite graduating to pastures new.

        And as that applies to me, I can see exactly why this type of copy would work. Heck, it's 250 times better than the **** copy I bought from just a while back.

        And you know what? I drooled over the Rich Jerk stuff. It was bloody genius. Today, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole... because I'm out of that market.

        Is the product any good? Dunno. Are the claims totally false? Dunno.

        This was never meant to be a thread about bashing the product or the owner, rather an impartial critique at the COPY.

        And that intention seems to have divided the copywriters from the consumers, in this case.

            Yeah, me too. But not to the hundreds of people buying, apparently.

            It goes back to the old experience thing. At a higher level, you tend to look for these things. But most people don't connect the dots, or question the little things, and therefore they slip past undetected.

    FYI, the Ad Assault Pro app is sitting out on an open, non-password protected page. Not sure if that's the actual product's home or it was somehow ripped and posted publicly. I had no idea that "Ad Assault Pro" was the "Commission Crusher" product, but now that I see the screenshot, I remembered that I'd seen it before.

    Right now, I'm cringing. But after the first 10 minutes, the video pitch does get a lot stronger (when he starts talking about the elite groups in private forums etc.)

    But then it falls on its' asse, then it picks back up, etc. All over the place, and still using the same "stolen secrets from the gurus" story, but definitely in a new style.

    I don't know whether to clap, laugh, cringe or cry at this. He's certainly taking a risk, I'll give him that much.

    Thoughts?

    Oddly enough, what I'm loving and strangely fascinated by, is the design elements of the head and sub-heads.

    Nothing new, sure. But the combo of the drop shadow(?) of the highlighted words and the grey text...I don't know...call me an easy target, but I think it looks great. And it totally reminds me of the design format of the Cosmo and Men's Health headlines right up to the paint-brush ends of the highlighter. (And those magazines' headlines work obviously.)

    That font...anyone know? Appears "simple and standard" but darn if that design doesn't work on me.

      I thought the exact same thing. I'm a huge fan of the textual design. Nicely done. I didn't like the style per say, of the video... But the production and simple elements that were used gave it a subtle polish.

      The genius in this sales letter is that it creatively breaks a few rules ... and gets away with it.

      For example, it starts off with a negative statement, that grabs you by the ears and makes you either listen or ... slaps you-up-side the head and makes you click away.

      But either way if you listen you'll probably read most of the letter and if you quickly click away the writer isn't talking to you anyway.

      The writer seems to know how to strategically thumb his nose at many traditional copy writing rules - while still holding the attention of his target market.

      The writers love me or hate me ... "no middle ground style" can be appealing to many. Much like Charlie Sheen, Terrel Owens or Lady Gaga. He's taken the "shock jock" approach and adapted it to a sales letter. That usually takes more guts than brains in my opinion but sometimes it works and when it does it works big.

      As a result this letter will attract either rabid fans or rabid haters, no on the fence people here. I believe that's sits fine with the writer. I just wonder if the end product delivers on all those promises.

    Any ad that generates 50+ comments in 36 hours is probably a good ad.

    That so many here had strong negative responses to it means it is likely moving the people it's actually targeting to action.

    Personally, I think it's a hoot. Yes, there are inconsistencies, but it's whipping up such an emotional froth, the target audience will either look past them or not even notice.

    Personally... I would have thought it a bit over-the-top.. a little TOO harsh in the "you suck" kind of thing.

    But maybe that's stylistic... or maybe changing that would boost conversions even more.

    One thing is for sure...

    Refund rates are always high for blind copy. It's a numbers game. It all hinges on the fact that a certain percentage won't refund, otherwise, these types of projects simply wouldn't fly.

    If you ask me, and again this is nothing to do with the particular product or person, but these kinds of practices/websites/sales letters are going to clamped down on in years to come.

    Even though they seem to turn a blind eye, I bet Clickbank has got plans to clean up their refund rates. They're a slow beast, but I'm almost certain it's damaging their business in more than one way.

    Yeah, it makes them money, but so did counterfeit products for eBay, until it started screwing with their reputation.

    LMAO. Love this! Love it. My thoughts exactly.

    I know what this chump is trying to do with the sales page. It's a psychological persuasion technique called "indifference," I wrote about it in 21 Immutable Laws of Persuasion...the Rich Jerk uses it too.

    Problem is he's not doing it right, he's just being an arrogant $#*$. I doubt the page is converting very well and I bet my babymakers he's got an off the charts return rate.

      I have no doubt that it is converting very well. I also have no doubt that the return rate is very high. An effective sales page doesn't equal a good sales page. Personally, I'd rather build a long-term relationship with my buyers, not piss them off because I dissed something like CB in my sales video then start the course off by telling them to go sign up for a CB account.

        I was one who returned it. I also got a phone call from "someone" representing Commission Crusher. This was almost comical! The guy asked if I had purchased software online before. I said 'yes, in the last 6 months quite a bit.' I also said that I probably won't be buying so much in the future. I mentioned that I started reading Warrior Forum and he hung up on me!

    I have no idea what the product is nor will I buy it unless someone uses it and can tell me a bit more about it. (Don't like wasting my time)

    The whole copy is superficial and insulting to ones intelligence most of the time. From a copywriter's point of view, it's worth studying and one can actually observe that the copy is indeed very well made if you take account his target audience - lazy, broke kids as someone on the forum very well put it. It's selling like crazy too, good for him.

    However, in this slew of regurgitated and over-diluted crap out there when will be really be able to find a product that actually is innovative and financially lucrative? Hard question to answer on a forum filled with affiliate marketers hehehe
