Loving the SWS, but have a quick question: Is there anywhere I can post some copy, so can I get feedback on a headline?

Hi everyone,
I want to create a survey for my house list, to learn more about why they buy – problems, desired benefits, objections. Do you know a book /material that explains how to frame the questions?
Thanks-
Hi Leonard: Why don’t you just ask them? They are on your list, so they must be used to getting emails from you. You would speak to them in the same way you always do.
-
After you create the survey you could post it here and we would look at it for you.

Thanks Virginia, I’ll do that.

How do you know if you’re giving away too much great information on your website? Or, can you repurpose some of the same info into product? (I’ve heard of people making their blog posts into ebooks and selling them.)

Thanks, Pete.
I’m especially thinking of pages like this:

Producing a core concept for a training program – Concept is… Its more economical and faster to be a celebrity radio guest than a podcast host. And you can leverage the 3rd party endorsement of the talk show host and his audience to build your reputation and brand. Is that concept strong enough or can it be improved.

Hi Joel: I have a question and a few thoughts.
Question: What is your product? Is it instruction on how to get booked on radio shows?
Thoughts: Most people are not really concerned with easy and economical. That is pretty much limited to the “get rich quick” crowd, which I assume is not your audience. Most business owners are more…Read more

Thanks Virginia for your comments. My goal is to start a training program for people who want to be guests on a radio show. And then leverage the interviews by repurposing them. You might be right that ease and economy are not great benefits, but there are so many podcasts, radio shows etc that it is more difficult to find guests and stand out…Read more

I’ve never tried to get on a radio show, so don’t know how easy it is. I’ve pitched my own spot to TV producers, and it is not something a busy executive would want to do him/herself.
You might want to combine easy, economical and effective into cost-effective.
I’m not sure that I would compare being a radio guest to being a podcast host for…Read more

Thanks Virginia for the comments. Much apreicated!
