Hey guys, does the material in ‘simple writing system’ and ‘kick-ass copy writing’ apply to writing for charities, non-profit and fundraisers?

hey john, another question 🙂
what the exactly steps do you make, before you start write your copy?

He figure out the features and benefits the product has, and what he needs to close the sale. When he starts to write he gathers all the information he has…Read more

Here is my new USP. I’d love some feedback on it:
“Hi. My name is Bo Headlam. For the last several years, I have been helping new entrepreneurs develop the confidence to acquire more clients so that they can get their businesses up and running, even if they’ve tried and failed many times in the past.”
Thanks for your help!-

I hope you don’t mind that I’ve leveraged off you as “one of the world’s leading copywriters” in this copy which leverages my legal wordsmithing into legal copywriting:
Admittedly it needs some work eg to reverse/ mitigate risk, but it’s a work in progress.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg: You can get John and Stan to review your copy if you finish it (get it as good as you can) and apply for a hot seat.

Hi everyone. Happy Holidays! I’ve just started the Simple Writing System, to help market my new group coaching program that will be launched during first quarter 2017.
I’d love some feedback on my USP:
“Hi. My name is Bo Headlam. For the last several years, I have been helping entrepreneurs and other high achievers discover and remove…Read more-
Hi Bo: I have a few suggestions on how to simplify and target your USP more effectively:
First, I would remove the reference to self-help books. I don’t think it is necessary, and it shuts out all your prospects who have tried other coaching programs but haven’t tried reading books.
Also, I would take out the part about discovering and…Read more

John Carlton’s Best Ads: Black Hawk Down!
I read a lot. And I advise you to read a lot, too. As an old English teacher once told me: Read a book a week. And then, in your spare time, read another one. Non-fiction, and fiction. Newspapers and magazine excerpts don't count. (One trick I allow myself: At any...

I love to do "personal invitations". It's the ultimate use of personalization. You don't have to make the piece "look" like a real invitation, but you can. I haven't tested this option, but my gut tells me a little ostentatious "wedding invite" detail would boost...

From my understanding yes because you’d still need to push people’s emotional hot buttons in order to get them to part with their wallets, even when it’s for a good cause.
Ahhh okay, thanks!
It applies to anywhere you want to sell anything. Even if what you are selling is yourself…to a prospective employer, a prospective spouse…the principles are the same. They even could be used if you want to get your kids to do something they don’t want to do!
Love that Virginia…getting the kids to do something they don’t want. I didn’t think of it that way. I will now!
