I’d love some feedback on the title of my lead magnet. It started out as “7 Things NOT to do When Speaking to an Audience that NO ONE is Telling You”. I recently changed it to “7 Uncommon Secrets of Public Speaking the Pros Use.” The content is the same.

Hi Robert: Camtasia is kind of the state-of-the-art in video production. I think it costs $199, It used to be $299 but they reduced it a few years ago. They come out with a new one every year or so and try to get you to upgrade but that’s not necessary. Just google Camtasia and you will get the link. They have a trial version which you can…Read more

I know you can do this on Zoom for free. It will even download a separate mp3 for you along with the video file. And I believe Loom has a free option also.

Hi Virgina,
I hope you are doing well!
Few days ago, I bought the Kick-Ass Copywriting, but I am kind of obsessed with research, since EVERY A-list Copywriter says it is so crucial….
And I don’t know how and where to research, how to identify the ideal customer and so on.
My question: Could be so kind a point some research I can dive into…Read more-
Hi Koffi: In your market research you want to identify the main competitors and get a handle on the size of the market (in part to determine if there is a market there).
Usually if you are in a market you will know who your main competitors are. If it is a new market, you can google the name of the product and see who comes up. Go to their…Read more

Hi Paul: The Simple Writing System is designed for those who are just beginners. But having a coach to give personalized advice means that copywriters of any level of skill can still get a lot out of it. The coach meets you at the level you are at and helps you go from there.
I took it quite a few years ago and didn’t really know anything…Read more

Hi Virginia,
Thank you for the quick response, much appreciated.
The other thing Im not sure about is deciding exactly which area of copywriting to follow. Looking at information online, people seem to advise concentrating on one aspect such as direct mail, white papers, technical papers, landing pages, SEO etc…I have information overload…Read more

The Simple Writing System will give you the skill you need to write any type of sales copy. After you are finished you can decide, based on what niche you want to specialize in , what types of copy will need to be written. As far as I know, white papers and technical papers are content-based. They really aren’t sales copy. You would be…Read more

John Carlton’s Best Ads: Butt-Ugly Golf

Hi Donna,
Can you set up a split test and run each title past at least a few hundred people?
There are so many variables with headlines like this. Any time you can test, that’s going to be your best option.

Ok. That’s well beyond where I am right now.
New question: How do I navigate the site? There’s so much on there and it’s confusing to know where to start.
I don’t have time to dig around and figure it out. I just want to know where to start and how to progress.
Hi Donna:
There is no one path for everyone on this site. You have to start where you are right now.
What type of business are you in, and what are the roadblocks you are currently facing?
We have information on all types of marketing tools, but it can be overwhelming if you don’t stay focused on what you want to achieve. You can’t just go…Read more
