Re: Luring Men

Bait is not a strange way to try to lure fish. Indeed, i'd struggle to think of a more common one.

Re: Looking for great sales letters in the Forex niche...

Good call. I do like that letter. Less excitable suits my style too. Going to do some dissection this PM and think about how I could apply some things.

Re: IF you could see into the future, could you profit from it?

Knowing google searches into the future would be more than enough information to make a killing on gambling or investments. No need to try to leverage it into IM the hard way.

Re: Will this convert?

Makes a kind of sense to run it past the experts. But yeah, ideally, you'd like to see that effort a little earlier in the development process.

Re: Would like a little direction

How does one "copywrite" - One uses words, in combination with the principles of persuasion, to convince people to take action.

How is money made off it. - Two ways, principally. First, by...

Re: Is Marketing Evil?

Marketing is nothing but the tools of mass persuasion directed toward a goal. As such, it's dead neutral.

Re: My first product, my first sales page... please critique.

I think a good first step for you, if you intend to edit on your own, would be to compare and contrast your site -- layout, headline, style, graphics, offer, etc. -- to IM membership sites you know...

Re: Can you use humor to sell?

I'd imagine it's easier to be successful using humorous copy to "sell" humor...as is the case with the Rally ad above.

The better test is whether you can use humor to sell something serious. I'd...

Re: Becoming a Fireman - What Are The Emotional Triggers?

Just to be clear, I mean absolutely no disrespect to the brave women out there serving their communities in this capacity.

It's just that respect don't feed the bulldog.

Re: Becoming a Fireman - What Are The Emotional Triggers?

Couldn't disagree more with the last sentence.

You'll be unintentionally limiting your sales if you try to be all things to all prospective buyers, instead of really honing in on the emotions and...

Re: Becoming a Fireman - What Are The Emotional Triggers?

Prospective professional firemen are young, single, urban, and male. For the most part, wives don't sign off on this kind of behavior. It's a dangerous job, yet it's a career. Meaning, guys who...

Cool man.

I get that you can't toot your own horn in this case. A look at the dates and contributors of recent pieces tells the whole story.

Re: Believable?

Don't confuse a sales *pitch* with a sales *page*.

A blog header isn't being pitched to cold traffic. It's being pitched to people with whom the writer already has a rapport.

But beyond that,...

Re: Check out the eye candy in this sales copy!

Every client:

Every good client (in this order):

Re: Who here is a professional development coach or mentor

1. Have a distinct personality, and showcase it in everything you do.

2. Have a system.

3. Preach it as though your life depends on it.
