Re: If you've got the time - I'd love your opinions on my copy - Image in thread!

Yep. All those systems that don't work have the same sort of pitch as your very own...

Re: If you've got the time - I'd love your opinions on my copy - Image in thread!

The headline is pretty poor, and generic - these 'make money on eBay' courses have been around since about 15 minutes after eBay started. Mostly they're a load of bollocks, and your reader knows it....

Easy,

1. When writing a headline, you must always be specific, never vague. Vagueness draws in the unqualified. It also increases your refund requests.

Here's your vague preheadline:

Easy,

I got stopped at the headline...

"Sick of trying systems that just don't work?" - Okay...

"Then I'll show you how to make quick, easy money from home!!" - Oh, another one of them...

Hi,
I liked most of the copy, up to the crochet patterns...Then the flow just seemed to change. Just a few things I would change initially.

1. I would split the top half of the text up with...

No problem - I know my feedback was a little brash.

If you come away from this thread with anything, understand this: regardless of how legit your system is... you still need to SELL it. You need...

Re: My Reputation Is More Important Than Hype - Can You Help?

Nothing is hype if it delivers on it's promise.

If it can't deliver and you are saying it's amazing, it's hype.

Simple. Don't make claims you can't deliver on. This way you will avoid hyped...

Re: My Reputation Is More Important Than Hype - Can You Help?

Fair enough...

I really don't know anything about gambling so maybe I was oversimplifying it.

Maybe the OP can segment his market like that:

Re: My Reputation Is More Important Than Hype - Can You Help?

There's a lot of these types of systems on the market, it's not really going to alter anything. It's also more complicated than just placing a bet and a lot of people don't stick to it long term as...

Re: My Reputation Is More Important Than Hype - Can You Help?

If his system really provides 10-15% returns per trade, 95% of the time it could have a big impact. If it's really that simple, predictable and reliable.

Of course the other alternative is that...

He's not missing the point. You're confusing football trading with regular betting through bookies.

Re: My Reputation Is More Important Than Hype - Can You Help?

I think that's the issue. If you can prove your claims, they aren't hype. And if your systems are tested and proven, then by all means go make big, bold claims...pile on the proof...and prosper.

Not really.

He asked a question so as to help and your answer seemed like more theory.

Re: My Reputation Is More Important Than Hype - Can You Help?

Its old advice but still gold:


Tape yourself selling the system to someone
Transcribe the conversation
Cut out all the ums and ares
Play with the format


and you have the base of your...
