Hi, I have three quick questions:
1. Should I use an exclamation point in the headlines? If so, why?
2. Features and Benefits:
I am trying to figure if my features and benefits should be placed throughout the copy (From the headlines to the testimonies). On some of the swipe files I noticed the features and benefits and not always in bullet…Read more -

Hi, my name is Joe and I just finished the Simple Writing System. I would like to post my ad (to be used on a freelance website) for review and critique. BTW it is a pdf. I learned a ton! and I look forward to advice!

Hi Joseph: Congratulations on finishing the Simple Writing System.
Your challenge now is getting your first client. The problem is that business owners, if they are paying for a copywriter, are interested in real-world results. If I were you I would start locally. Call up some business owners that you think you can help and offer to work…Read more

Hi Israel: Overall, it looks pretty good. You are missing your story, though. Who are you and why should the prospect listen to you?
In order to get John and Stan to review the copy you have to finish your letter and submit it for a hot seat. There is a link to the application in the right column.

Thanks Drew. I your opinion, where would be the optimum place to insert that? Before the sub-heading “But is this even realistic?”
Also, what is the strategy if the writer have no credentials, no years of experience etc.
Would the story then take place as an observer – “I had this problem, I was so frustrated I was determined to solve it so I…Read more

Hi Isreal (sorry I misspelled your name before): In the Simple Writing System John recommends that you put your story near the top (“Hi, here’s who I am). You wouldn’t put it before your subhead, though. It goes in the body of your letter. There really is no hard and fast rule, though. Wherever it fits in the best.
You are right. In this…Read more

Is there some reason why you can’t get a Skype account? It is free and John and Stan have found that it is the best way to go for both simplicity and the ability to get a good recording.
Just wanted to make sure before I applied for the hot seat. I will get an account immediately.
Thanks
Don’t get anything you have to pay for. The basic free Skype account is all you need.
Ok I will get on that now.
Thanks
