Forget Copywriting Marketing And All That Other Crap

If you don't have something that people want...you are nowhere.

I am the worlds cheesiest copywriter.

I use the cheapest marketing methods.

But I make money.

Why?

Because I have sh*t that people want and they're willing to pay me good
money for it.

You can either create this stuff yourself or find somebody who already has
and promote it.

Yes, you have to know how to get that offer in front of the people who
will want it.

I could teach a monkey to do that.

The XYZs of "how to get John Doe to see my sh*t" is not hard.

If you're selling affiliate products, hell, 90% of the work has been done
for you. Some genius copywriter has already put up some slick sales page
for Joe Marketer.

All you need to do is get your ass in front of your target market and say,
"Hey dude...see this sh*t? It's great and just what you need. Take a look
at it!"

If you're creating your own product, well then yeah, it's a little harder.
Because you have to first know how to get inside of the head of your
prospect to figure out what he wants.

But if you can actually DO that...then there is no reason not to be able
to come out with a kick ass product.

And trust me, you don't have to be a super slick copywriter to make the
sale.

Just tell your prospect what the frickin thing does and how it's going to
solve their problem. I mean how hard is that?

(scene from your home...your friend Joe comes over. Joe has problems
with ED)

Joe: Hey man, I can't get it up. What do I do?

You: Hey Joe, no problem. See this stuff? I gave a sample to my friend
Jim and he was bangin this babe for a whole night.

Joe: Are you sh*ttin me?

You: Man, would I lie to you? This stuff is like takin nitro.

Joe: Where can I get this stuff?

You: I'll give you a site.

Okay, I mean how hard is that? Isn't that what you do when your friends
have problems and they come to you for help? You tell them what you
have, what it does, and give them actual real results.

It isn't rocket science.

Why people complicate this process is beyond me. And yet, I keep reading
threads here of people doing this stuff for frickin who knows how many
years and they can't make a dime.

It boggles my mind.

Buy the damn product yourself and USE IT!

Then you can rave about it to the world.

Guess what?

The product's crap?

Tell the whole world about. Put up a blog and rip that piece of crap to
shreds.

Then...give the prospect an alternative.

Here's another example:

Me: Hey Paul, wanna see the absolute hottest sex scene ever put on film?

Paul: Hell yeah!

Me: Go and see (insert movie title)

Isn't this what we do every single day when we recommend stuff to our
friends?

Then why does it have to be any different online?

Because they're not our friends?

Fine...then build some frickin trust.

"Hey man, you gotta read this report. It's free and it's really going to help
you a lot with (insert problem)"

If the report really IS full of great information, you think they're not going
to thank you and then TRUST you when you recommend something that
they have to buy?

Me: Hey Paul, you gotta download XYZ group's new single. It's free at
Itunes.

Paul: (after hearing song) Damn that was great. Do they have an album
out?

Me: Yeah, you can get it here (and give affiliate link if you have one)

Sale made...kaching.

Please...stop making this business so damn complicated.

People have problems.
People want stuff to solve those problems.
Show 'em where the stuff is and explain why it's so great.

Be honest, be believable, and you'll find that this business is easier than
you could possibly imagine.

But get all this wrong...and it could be damn near impossible to make a
dime.

I am speaking from experience.

      Yes, it is. And we can post anything here other than politics and religion.

      Thus, this thread is perfectly within forum rules.

      Is it not?

          Maybe, but it's still my right to post it here where my OT buddies, most
          of whom never make it upstairs, can enjoy it.

          After all, this IS my new home.

          Right KJ?

          Right Sal?

          Right Jared?

          Right John Boy?

          Ooops...sorry...wrong show.

                Steven,

                Kick butt stuff you wrote there!

                I do however find it geared more towards the male gender what with the gettin it up hard stuff.

                What do you have for the ladies to really relate to?

                  Jane: Here, take this (hands Jill crowbar)

                  Jill: What's this for?

                  Jane: It won't do much for the cramps but it'll take care of your husband.

                    Exactly what I'm talking about!

                    Except in my family, it is a wrought iron skillet!

                    My grandmother gave one to my mom, my sister, and myself as wedding gifts. She also told us this wasn't for cooking LOL!
