Okay, okay, yes, I know one of the top rules in copywriting is to not sell to your prospects. But I mean, that's the main point of squeeze pages/landing pages. But when I click on something on a web site that says something like "find out how to ____", and it brings me to a squeeze page, I know they're trying to sell me something. And if I'm desperate enough, I'll read the entire page, but most of the time, I see that it's a landing page, I'll give it a quick glance and I leave. So my question is, since you don't want to sell to your prospects, then why are landing pages so "selly?" Unless the prospect is already ready to buy? I mean, good headlines work, and good personable content definitely works. I have read some landing pages that seemed promising, had a good money back guarantee, but I just didn't buy simply because I have bought from landing pages in the past, and then I felt I could have learned most of that information for free. I bought from those guys because I didn't have much experience buying online in the past and really felt they were able to help me. And I understand they were just doing business, but after paying for a product, I didn't feel they gave enough good information worth the money I paid them, and then they kept using the same trick of giving a little bit of free information and then trying to sell me into buying more things from them. And when I bought 2 products from them and wasn't that satisfied, and found out they kept trying to sell me, I stopped buying.
I am also asking this because as I was looking at the sticky for new copywriters, some of the landing pages for some of the courses seemed so "selly" I was wondering if it was even legit. It seemed kind of ironic, eh?
