    Hello. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday, and ready for a very Merry Christmas if you celebrate and a great holiday season if you don’t.

    My question is that I’m working on sending clicks from FB to my sales page, and so far I’m not getting any clicks. I’m working on fixing that. In the meantime my page is all copy and no pictures…but FB…Read more

      Hi Jason: Facebook limits your text to 20% of an ad, so you have no choice. Your ad must be an image. Then you can put some text on it if you want.

      You aren’t providing much info here. Where is your sales page, what is your niche? Actually, the site you provided has a huge disconnect in that it is a woman’s site and the video has a man’s…Read more

        Virginia,

        Thanks for the response. I haven’t written the FB ad yet, but I know that PPC ads should mirror what’s going on, on your sales page. In that sense if I have no picture on my sales letter, what pictures do I choose for my FB ads.

          You can have an image ad that goes to a sales page without images. Use the text in the ad to make a promise and make the same promise in the sales letter. You can have text above the image, also, which doesn’t count toward the 20%. For example, there is an image here: http://screencast.com/t/czcBogy5oj of an ad that James Jones did for a…Read more

            Excellent advice for any marketer, in any market — do what Virginia says, and monitor the competition. Always. You don’t need to copy them exactly, but you DO need to know what they’re doing, because what YOU then do will affect how you’re positioned in the market.

            Also, while not all of your competition is well funded, or even smart or…Read more

    hi,
    have you ever heard about the pyramid principle from barbara minto?
    it’s a method to structure documents.
    if yes, is it relevant in copywriting?
    hope you had a happy christmas!!

      Hi Guillaume:

      The pyramid principle is a way of organizing research summaries so you can present them in the most efficient way possible. You state the conclusion first and then go into the “top level” supporting arguments, then back each of those arguments with “second level” arguments. Each level of arguments and facts fans out until you…Read more

How to Add Title Clips and Transitions to a Video Using Camtasia

by | Jun 9, 2013 | ,

It is very easy to do this with Camtasia, as I show in this video. This video is specific to Camtasia 7. There is another video for Camtasia 8, and toward the end of that I show how to do transitions using that software. Camtasia 8 does not have the option of doing title clips as does Camtasia 7.
