Make Money With Matt

yes I agree with this 110%

Good marketing, but people need to be realistic. IF there was a PUSH BUTTON FOR 6k a week..... everyone would QUIT their boring ass jobs and push that button once a day for the rest of their lives.

YOu have a long road ahead of you if you think you can just do one or two things and make $2000 by next week. Those days have never been here, and will never come.

The best way to making it BIG online is to study the successful people and do what they do. Most of the time, its massive amounts of traffic and big lists. But that takes time, no matter what anyone there will tell you.

Shawn you are absolutely right. There is no question that communicating value to your is more important than making tricks to get a sell.

It's not so much a lie as it is a secret code that means "very basic product intended for newbies and stupid people."

You may never have noticed, but Heinz ketchup is labeled as "fancy." This means that it has a specific gravity not less than 1.15 and contains at least 33% tomato solids. Even if you did notice, you probably never knew that, because this distinction is only relevant in food service. Standard ketchup has a specific gravity of 1.11 and only 25% tomato solids.

And on the completely ridiculous front, ketchup with a specific gravity of at least 1.13 and and no less than 29% tomato solids is extra standard.

That phrase means absolutely nothing outside of this context and indeed is patently absurd.

It's the same way with marketing. There are all kinds of terms and phrases and tactics which mean one thing outside the industry, and quite another inside it.

An outsider on the way inside will encounter a lot of these things. They're not really lies. They're the secret language of the marketing tribe, where things do not mean what they say, but something both altogether different and oddly specific.

What does "under thirty dollars" mean, for example?

$29.95 plus shipping and handling.

Every. Single. Time.

LISA, you said it right; and I was one of those poor newbies that got into that idea that right now if I really buy right now, I will get something great that will make me a lot of money, but if I do not buy NOW, I will never be able to it. And I bought products for $2000.00 that end up being useless, but the URGE to buy made make a mistake. Of course I learn also that even thought that was a trick, the decision to buy was mine, and from that moment on, I learned my lesson. I now am very careful. Thank you Lisa for your words, it reminds me of my time.

Just wanted to see what others thought.

Seems the thoughts and feelings are mutual.

Sorry Matt, not intending to ruin anything for you. Just starting a discussion.

Not at all.

It was querying a marketing technique that a fellow warrior is using in his marketing.

I think we can all learn something from the pros and cons.

As you can see most know what it is, how to do it, but most arnt for the same technique and are in fact offering other suggestions for how they would do it.

I am with them on that same strategy. I wouldn't do what Matt is doing, Instead I would offer a limited number of spots or put a count down timer on or something like that.

Its also great for newbies to learn from threads like this regarding both their own marketing and also in terms of when they are buying how to be clued into the sales copy etc.

It's a twist on a "loss leader"... where the loss he is experiencing is solely his time. He probably tries to upsell on the call.

Its also a classic technique where business get shut down and people get put into prison here in Australia, its called "puffery" and "deceitful" marketing.

Business have literally been shut down because of claims like this in Australia. All it would take is for 1 or 2 people to take Mr Matt to a small claims tribunual to start the chain.

If I was Matt, I'd change that immediately, or not.

I think it looks okay. It's definitely not fancy like Heinz ketchup. But isn't it true in marketing that "ugly" often out pulls "pretty"? You ought know that!

I like it. It's simple. And I bet it converts. That's the important thing. Among other things like delivering on the promise. But that's a given.
