My Brother Has Less Willpower Than A Monkey BUT

12 years ago

You could have an ebook cover with a monkey on it smoking and the title could be "Stop smoking EVEN if you have less willpower than a monkey!".

Only kidding!

I think what would work well in this niche is the emphasis on SPEED.

Stop Smoking Today With A PROVEN 3 STEP FORMULA!

I think the domain is good but you just need to think about the name of the product.

Thanks

Stopping Smoking Completely With Less Willpower Than A Monkey could be a possible title but maybe too long.

Your thoughts?

Get your e-cover down pat with your title. Don't forget a little sex appeal in the title and the graphic will make sales for you.

Don't forget to make it compliant with Amazon Kindle so you can use that as a marketplace.

I'd find a way to work in the "Getting the Monkey off His Back" cliche into the title. There isn't much else to work with when it comes to primates and nicotine, at least in my head.

Since your brother has no willpower, maybe you can add that for a twist on the title.

Try:

Title:

"How to Stop Smoking Completely"

"Even if You Have Less Willpower Than a Monkey!"

Then you can start your copy.

Thanks

Thanks! I didn't think anyone would stand up for me!

As a former smoking monkey, I'd go with Ken's suggestion about adding little sex appeal. Smokers want to envision a life of health and vitality. Jokes are cute, but remember the people who are looking to quit and have turned to the internet are looking for a solution, FREAKIN' NOW! :p Cuz quitting smoking makes your brain itch.

OH! And be ready for a high refund rate, I read somewhere that the average smoker quits for good on their 11th attempt.

11th attempt? Thats crazy!
Having your him as the monkey in the story would act as a good lead for others, by example, without pushing them directly or making it too boring of a 'how to' manual.

It's an ugly habit!

I think the monkey is a cute idea, but I just wouldn't go over the top with it. When you are in the mood to quit, you may close a site that is making TOO much fun out of it, and move on to the more serious. That, "HA, HA, HELL!" feeling ain't pretty!

"What would the crowd want, that others are
NOT offering?"

And that's because marketers do not buy their
own products, the consumers do.

Or you could think about it in the AIDA manner.

What could grab their attention in a unique
way that this product has?

I'm pointing this out because one of my buddies
had a pretty horrid experience when his idea
resulted in zero sales.

It's easy to fall into the "marketer's view" trap.

Great idea. Whilst it is a competitive niche that doesn't mean you can't make money from it. A guide based on personal experience will always be winner!

I already had the domain name stopsmokingcompletely.com as I had thought about this niche before.

Oh and yes with his lack of willpower I am amazed my brother did stop smoking but he really did.

Maybe you could come up with a good name for this guide unless of course Stopping Smoking Completely is good enough?

And what do we need to make this one stand out from the crowd?

I think "My Brother Has Less Willpower Than A Monkey BUT he QUIT smoking" is catchy ....:p

The Name of the product doesn't matter that much to be honest with you.

what matters the most is to know how to advertise it!

And make sure you have a good landing with a great sales letter.

So your second question is definitely more important and that's where you should focus on.

What should stand out the most is the sales letter not the product itself. because the product works your brother is proof of it.

The sales page is the one that will determine your success with the product. (ebook)

Here are some tips.

1- Use some emotion on your ad and sales page, expose the pain! people buy according to their emotions a 100% of the time.
2- Present yourself as an expert.
3-And then tell them there is a solution! with the call to action.

the monkey Idea is good but for the sales page not for the actual ad.

hope that helps.

All the best!

Thanks

I don't smoke but I'll chip in to give my 2 cents anyway. I clicked on this thread because I was intrigued by the title. So if you use this as say the subject of an email swipe, you'll probably get many people opening it and reading on because they are curious. Whether they then buy your product will depend on the sales page. I don't think I'd expand on the monkey theme - someone said it before, monkeys don't provoke any emotional response and monkeys aren't sexy.

Instead of telling the story of your brother from your viewpoint, why not let your brother tell it from his? That would make it more personal and may appeal better emotionally. He can talk about his struggles and how he tried so many times and failed because he couldn't muster more willpower to resist smoking than a monkey facing a bunch of bananas.... until he discovered this one thing that he wants to now share to benefit others with the same problem he used to have...

Thanks

Maybe have a look at the best sellers on Amazon or similar to see what names are catching the sales.

Many smokers can stop - but don't they actually want to quit?

As a smoker, there is no way I'd buy a guide to stop smoking that claims you don't require willpower.

Mainly because it's a lie.

The monkey idea is cute, but the only people that will buy it are people that are far more likely to fail, resulting in huge refunds.

You should target people that ARE in the right place to succeed.

Something like "It's not easy, and there's no magic formula, but you CAN STOP SMOKING COMPLETELY! " would be much more attractive to me.

Just a thought.

Thanks
