Make more money by fusing the power of “greed” with your sales copy

Even though many people would like to deny it, because it’s not always the most flattering personality trait, it’s still a fact of life… People get greedy. And when they do, they begin to lose all sense of logic an...

So let’s start at the beginning… The first question that needs to be asked is, are you sure you’re emails are making it to peoples inbox? If they’re getting flagged by spam ...

Re: Trainings for copywriters

Hi Serenus, welcome to the forum. Yes, re-writing good advertising / sales copy can help. But as Franklin indicated, it’s not a complete training program all by itself. The idea has been around for many years. If my memory serves me correctly, I think I first did this exercise when I took the Randy ...

Re: How can i find my first client ?

Hi nizarkassite, Yes, that’s a bit of a circular predicament. Not too many people will hire you to write sales copy if you don’t have any experience, and it’s hard to gain experience if nobody will hire you. The best advice I can give you right now is to start creating your own experience (and portf...

This Number Helps You Write More Persuasive Copy…

When it comes to writing persuasive sales copy, “simple” beats “complex” 99 out of 100 times. In some academic circles, pompous complexity might outshine simplicity. But 99% of the time, simple clarity wins the day ! So how do we know if our copy is simple enough for the average reader? Persuasive C...

Geico Direct Mail Analysis – part2

OK, so a couple of weeks ago I analyzed a Geico direct mail piece on this forum. If you recall I gave the mailer a grade of ” B-” because it was built around solid copywriting techniques, but it came across as a bit manipulative and insincere. And the fact that they completely rewrote the piece (as ...

What could make a person desire earnestly to be a direct response copywriter yet doesn’t feel good enough to be one? I believe desire is the first step towards becoming good at anything, because without desire then we’d never even try. So just the fact that you have the desire tells me you have a c...
