More Clients…More Sales…More Cash In Your Pocket!
I mentioned recently that John Anghelache and Ryan Healy are in the prelaunch phase of a new programme designed to help copywriters get more clients (and make more money!). They’ve released 2 new videos. The first deals with a way to find all the prospective clients you’re ever likely to need. The second covers a [...]
The new copywriting program based on the work and approach of master copywriter Clayton Makepeace has just been released. I say “based on the work of Clayton Makepeace” because it’s not actually written by Clayton but by his associate Tony Flores. Who the hell is Tony Flores, you ask? Well, Tony is a copywriter who [...]
Welcome to Part 4 of this series “Scientific Advertising In The 21st Century”. “Mail Order Advertising – What It Teaches” is the fourth chapter in the classic book by copywriter Claude Hopkins. And again it goes to the heart of what Hopkins saw as key to success in advertising. Testing, tracking and measuring so that [...]
Last week I talked about some general health and fitness tips for copywriters. This week I’m going to mention a few resources that I’ve found helpful. One of the biggest health risks for a copywriter, particularly if you work from home, is an overly sedentary lifestyle. This can have all sorts of undesirable consequences, not [...]
A short video from John Carlton’s “Copywriting Checklist” series. It’s titled “The Nitty-Gritty” and the point it’s making is that the features of the product are not what you’re selling. It’s what the customer will get from the product (the benefits) PLUS how they will FEEL about it when they have those benefits.
I have just finished reading an amazing post by copywriter John Carlton. The genius of the man just left me stunned. Stopped me in my tracks. It was like the scene in the movie “Apocalypse Now” where Kurtz tells of the time when an insight hit him like a “diamond through his skull” (or something [...]
Here’s the next in John Carlton’s “Copywriting Checklist” series, talking about the need for a “Huge Promise” in your copy. There’s an interesting psychological point here. You need to have a big promise but it needs to be believable to your audience. And not just believable in the sense that it seems possible but that [...]
I know that we in Direct Response Marketing prefer not to talk too much about “branding”, but there are a couple of recent news items that I think have some useful lessons. Firstly, Apple Computer recently opened the first proper “Apple Store” in Australia to scenes of chaos and pandemonium (“CBD Chaos As Apple Store [...]
Quite a few things going on in the world of copywriting at the moment. Firstly, Clayton Makepeace and Tony Flores have released a new report called “The #1 Way To Electrify Your Ads”. It’s part of the launch campaign for a new copywriting program that’s due to be released next week. The report is all [...]
Fitness tips? Yup, fitness tips for copywriters! Health and fitness is obviously important for everyone. That’s why it such a huge market segment. But it’s particularly important, I think, for copywriters. That’s because as a copywriter you are in an inherently stressful business. I mentioned in an earlier post that in Direct Response you’re in [...]
Yesterday I talked about the importance of proof elements in copywriting. Something that is closely linked, but a little different, is TRUST. You often see it said that lack of trust is one of the biggest obstacles to making a sale. In online marketing, it can be a particular problem. Hence the importance top marketers [...]
Something that’s absolutely critical in copywriting is to incorporate appropriate PROOF elements. Testimonials are one of the most frequently used proof elements and I’ve taken a look at that topic recently in the videos from John Carlton’s “Copywriting Checklist” series. But there are many other proof elements you can use. Tony Flores, associate of Clayton [...]
