Re: Why isn't pay-per-call that popular?

Well, the closing rates with phone calls is WAY higher than any lead form, or sales page. It's night and day.

That's why pay-per-call networks tend to pay a generous amount.

I'm just...

Re: Is a blog needed to sell products (digital products)?

Most youtubers make shyte.

It's a decent (though slow way) to build an organic following. But if money is your objective (and you have a product to sell), there are far better uses for your time....

Re: Newspapers Are The Thing...Again

^Lol.

When one speaks from a position of authority, it's generally best to back that up with a few personal experiences.

Anyhow, you're being awfully defensive about a guy you don't even...

Re: Has COPY become a "COMMODITY"?

Yes, it does. But you didn't refute my point, not many people are going to hire a copywriter to just write a squeeze page headline.

Re: Does long form sales copy still work?

^A bit late to join the bandwagon, isn't it?

But I'm sure you'll get a few virtual pats on the back from the established order here.

Re: Does long form sales copy still work?

I say a lot of funny things. Unfortunately, you botched the quote so none of us can be entertained.

But enough. I'm bored trading insults with a chap I don't respect. It's pointless, don't you...

Re: Does long form sales copy still work?

I didn't read any dupes, mal. There isn't anything for me to read.

You can make your claims. I've read your copy. The profanity betrays a crass bogan (loads of them in CM unfortunately) who'd...

Sting, I'm not looking for clients in the copywriting section...

Aside from it being the lowest traffic section of the forum, I wouldn't want to work with most of the guys who post here.

Re: Does long form sales copy still work?

I didn't mean to be patronizing, hun. I'm sure you're a very gifted writer.

Who'd have thunk it?:eek:

Re: Does long form sales copy still work?

Epic contradiction. But welcome to the mosh pit, sweet heart.

Let me see if I can break this down.

Re: Wow, MOST 17 tear olds like to read for pleasure.

I was being dramatic..to point out the irony.

This is a profession built on mind-tricks and manipulating people to your own ends.

It's not a job for a monk.

But Cam, if you had any sense,...

Re: Wow, MOST 17 tear olds like to read for pleasure.

I'm a salesman. If I had any morals, I'd hide away in an ivory tower writing poetry.

More dubious reading comprehension...

I never said long copy can't sell, but rather it's falling out of favor.

I can tell some guys here are paranoid about losing their bread and butter...

I know that is sung like an anthem...but people do have limited attention spans. Mine gives way after an hour.

Re: A Naughty Way To Get A Targeted Mailing List --- For Free

Basically, I'd be one of their salesmen...just using direct-mail.

Re: So… I have Lupus (plus 3 easy tips for writing copy - without killing yourself. Literally.)

Re: Looking for a little help in choosing specialties.

You can't promise 'the world' and expect people to believe you. Your customers aren't that dumb.
