I just checked the mail and it didn’t come today, but it’ll get here soon. The order was fulfilled on Saturday, and I’m not sure where it’s mailing from… but it shouldn’t be longer than a few days. What am I waiting for? I sent a postcard to myself via Click2Mail.com. I wanted to make ...

2009

In the last entry we talked a lot about believability and proof. And we mentioned testimonials. Testimonials are a huge source of proof. Hence the last question in my questionnaire. 10) Finally, send me every testimonial you got! With most clients who have an established product, this isn’t a problem. They usually have been collecting ...

My first thought was, “Woah, that’s a good question.” A top Internet marketing guru was interviewing me before deciding to hire me. He hit me with a seemingly simple question… that still stopped me in my tracks. It went something like this… “What’s the most important component of writing copy?” Woah. I’d honestly never thought ...

Michel Fortin once told me the 3 most important elements to test in a sales letter are the headline, price and offer. Price points are easy to come up with. The headline takes a lot of work… but that’ll come from my research. The offer is something you need to team up and strategize with ...

That was a close one. Remember when I lost all my blog posts last month? Well I tried to get as many of the valuable posts back as I could from Google’s cache. One post that I didn’t find the first time around was an awesome interview I did with Ryan Healy. I was reminded ...

Ever seen the spy movie “Cloak and Dagger” with Henry Thomas? Great movie, one of my favorites from my childhood. Sometimes when I call my sister’s cell phone and she answers, I shout, “Lady Ace, Lady Ace, Come in Lady Ace!” Guess you had to see it… …in any case. I bring it up because ...

My Copywriting Questionnaire, Questions #2 and #3

Dec

2008

When writing copy, you’re not selling a product/service so much as you’re selling a solution. A solution that solves a problem or fulfills a desire. So instead of asking something silly like, “What’s your product?”, I ask about the major benefit. And that’s question #2 on my questionnaire: “2) In one or two sentences only, ...

The sales letter was good. It was more than good, it rocked. Michel Fortin was my copywriting coach at the time, he didn’t have anything to add. It was ready to give to the client. The client was a big name guru you’ve probably heard of. And he hated it. He changed it quite a ...
