5 replies
Hi copywriters,

I'm writing script for my video squeeze page. This is the first time I wrote script myself. Please help me improve it to it best.

Here is my script:
"Hi, My name is Keng Perapol, and I made this short video to tell you how you can burn Fat Without Dieting or Working Out!
If you're having problem with burning fat..I know how frustrating it can be.


You try dieting very hard but what you face every day is your chubby belly.
You don't even want to go to beaches or swimming pools because you're afraid that every person in the beach is just gonna stare at you and think that you look like a pig. It affects your self-esteem, your confidence and it can wreck your whole entire day!


I've been there before. I've spent years struggling with getting ripped..but it was a nightmare.. no matter what I did, my weight always seemed to strike back.


Worse yet..You've probably spent thousands of dollars on Dangerous Pills, weight loss supplements and expensive exercise machine, that don't work. In fact, I tried stuff like Hoodia and other supplements and they made my shape got worse.


It's not your fault! The truth is a lot of companies in this industry actually want you to staying fat because you will be their customers FOREVER. So no wonder why it's so hard for you to have a lean body!
NO MORE!! That's what I said. I was frustrated with having bad shape. I want a REAL solution and after month of trial and error..I finally stumbled upon powerful secret fat burning techniques. That gave me a lean body in just 2 months.



And I revealed the SECRET techniques In My Top Secret 7 Days Fat Burning Report. In 7 Days Fat Burning Report I revealed that Why Your Body is a Fat Loving Machine and What You Can Do About it. How to Literally Eat All Day Without Having to Worry About Getting Fat Ever! In 7 Days Fat Burning Report, I also revealed the shocking truth that You don't have to try extreme dieting again because Diets Fail to Reduce Fat and Virtually Guaranteed to Fail. And not only that, I'm also gonna revealed Why Do You Want to Eat Cake, Cookies, and Ice Cream Often if You Plan On Losing Weight Forever and How you can get away from it.


To claim your top secret free report...All you gotta do is insert email address to the box on the right and I will send it to you instantly!
So go ahead, Insert Your Email Address right now to the box on the right and I'll send you your free report called 7 Days Fat Burning."

Please don't be too harsh on me.
I'm really appreciate every body help.

Thanks,

Keng Perapol

    Not very good. Make it so you can read it in under 90
    seconds without sounding rushed and edit out assumptions
    about how much the prospect has spent. It sounds like
    you're promoting a real carnival-barker type appeal so,
    honestly, I'd skip the video because judging from what
    you've written I don't think you can be sincere in a video
    about weight loss at all.

    In short, I recommend ditch the video idea for this appeal
    or hire a pro to do it for you.

    I've made 6 figures in the weight loss market (via a barely tapped niche...)

    And I can tell you with utter certainty that your copy will fail... miserably.

    First of all...

    Did you read your script out loud and make sure it flows?

    No, right?

    Secondly...

    You go from "burning fat" to "getting ripped."

    Now, I know for some people, those two aspects might seem synonymous.

    In the weight loss market,

    They're not. (Unless you have a HUGE budget and can compete with the BIG BOYZ.)

    If you are going to make that leap, you need to connect the dots for the reader.

    I'll explain that more in a second.

    You have to stay laser-focused and pick your smallest possible niche to JUMP out as an authority in weight loss... or in this case, burning fat.

    Speaking of authority...

    You have to perform some level of education to become successful in the weight loss marketplace.

    Tell the reader WHY and HOW their bodies store fat.

    Teach them about the metabolism.

    And then work your way into telling them that you've discovered how to heal the metabolism so the body STOPS storing fat and burns it, like it's supposed to.

    And regarding video length...

    No need to fit it into 90 seconds, like Loren mentioned above...

    ...But I'll agree with him that you need to hire a pro.

    You're simply ages away from being able to compete in this ridiculously competitive market - no matter what niche you focus upon.

    Mark Pescetti

    P.S. In case you missed it... connecting the dots means you need to demonstrate authority. Trust is a HUGE objection in the weight loss market. There are so many people making audacious claims who can't back it up. Unfortunately, anyone looking to make money in this market needs to move forward with that awareness.

    Answer these questions:

    Why are you qualified to tell people how to burn fat?
    What information do you bring to the table that can back up your claims?
    How will you communicate the process that the body goes through to store fat... and how will you bring your SOLUTION back around as the answer to your reader's prayers?

    kengerperapol,

    No disrespect.

    If you're serious about your endeavor, hire a pro. Preferably, one with experience in the weight loss industry.

    No one's gonna help you "tweak" your copy posted in this thread. It's unredeemable.

    You can't turn chicken sh*t into chicken salad.

    - Rick Duris

    PS: For the offer you have and what you want to accomplish, I urge you to seriously appeal to someone's curiousity.

      And once again, the discourteous and insulting presumption that working writers are going to take the time to help you make money. While they what, buckwheat? Watch you make money with their expertise sans pay? Oh. I get it now.

      Conscienceless, entitlement mindset ... complete disregard for other folk's needs (i.e., getting paid for THEIR work) ... focused only on what you want.

      Should I go on? Man, I'm getting sick of the amount of this cr*p here.

      Hey, go down to your local car dealership and ask for a free car. Any luck? Now go over to your local supermarket and try wheeling a cart of grub out the door without paying for it. What's that? They arrested you?

      On an on it goes. This ain't the public library, word weasels. You want free, go dig in a dumpster and stop infesting WF for gratis advice.

      Not that many would care, but I'm ready to abandon this joint unless some restrictions are put in place about the pervasive begging mindset.

      I've never solicited work here, nor do I have to. But I resent the knuckle-draggers who permeate WF looking for the "Free" to the degree I'm ready to go permanent bye-bye.

        Hey man,

        What happened to your mind? I guess somethings terrible happened to you, right? Like nobody ever help you do anything unless you pay them so you have to do it all by yourself?

        I 100% respect warriorforum and I'm not seeking for free things. This is a discussion forum so I ask for people opinion. In this case, I ask how my copy's doing and I know that it completely suck now. I can hire people to work for me but first of all I want to try it by myself and want to know what experts think. It's not like I want them to write my whole copy for free. I just want to know which parts have to be change. I'm appreciated any opinion that people share with me.

        And about your example, it's kinda stupid to compare asking for opinion to asking people for a free car. It's totally different. Well, it's just like I get my car to a garage and ask that how my car look like and how I can improve my car. Not all people will help me but some will do. It's up to person and their kindness level.

        If you can't stand when people asking for help, don't join any forum or you just go to WSO section. Over there everything is about money. It's might be your perfect place. Don't get anything unless you pay. Well, there are some free stuff that ask for email.

        And If you want to say bye-bye to WF. Then go. Nobody gonna ask you to stay anyway.
