This is related to selling copy, specifically a book. Can anyone please tell me how to sell a book simultaneously from your website and on Amazon so that you can actually capture the buyers’ email on your mailing list? Amazon doesn’t enable collecting that from people who buy on their site. Thanks for any clear answer on this! I sure can’t get an…Read more

Hi Samuel, put a link to an opt in page with teaser copy on your second page. Something like “Get My Report On How To Get X In X Time”
-
Hi Samuel: The way I’ve seen people do it is to put an opt-in box on your site and a link to the book sales page and tell people that if they buy the book they have to go back to that page and enter their name, email and receipt number and you will send them a bonus. Then you can either verify the receipt or just send them the bonus. There is…Read more

If you self-publish on CreateSpace, you can also put the link and QR code in your book, so people can go to your site and opt in.
-
If you did that, though, I would put something like “limited time offer” so if people buy the book and then try to go to your site after you’ve ended the offer (if you do decide to end it) you wouldn’t look bad by having a broken link in the book.

Check out the way Perry Marshall does it on his site. It’s not specifically what you’re looking for, but it’s very smart.
I recently bought his Ultimate Guide to Google Adwords from his site and was very impressed by what he had going.
I probably would’ve bought much more from him if I wasn’t keeping my dollars handy for the Simple Writing System

Let me state first off that, IMHO, John Carlton is as close to God as you’re gonna get. As soon as I heard the first words tumble out of his mouth on some podcast (can’t remember which one), I knew my search for a copywriting mentor was over. When I read ads now that promise $40,000 a week from Facebook advertising I run them through the “Carlton…Read more

There’s somebody in every market for every product that will tell you why you have to cut your price to stand a chance against the Big Boys or The Locals or The Fivvers or who and whatever the competition might be.
The history of selling everything is that if you make the case for the product, target people who are likely to have a need and are…Read more

The flip side of cheap is that cheap often falls apart. Early on I lost 13 new clients because a fiverr type gave me a logo that was a 100% rip off of a major corporation’s logo I was unfamiliar with. I loved it and immediately sent it to my clients as an example of how great a logo could look and, as they should have, they all left immediately…Read more

I was sleuthing around the Simple Writing System sales page and got curious about why the headline looked the way it does.
Noticed it’s a ‘cufon’ element
Spiked my curiosity…
—
Is this…
a) None of my business?
b) So your headline doesn’t appear in the googles?
c) So your headline maintains the exact typeface, paragraphs and styling that you…Read more-
Sweet! Yeah I thought there might not be a big reason for it – just got curious about the whole ‘cufon’ thing.
Thanks for the response Pete! -
Pete pretty much nailed it. SimpleWritingSystem.com is running OptimizePress 1. Outdated technology, but it does the job needed to be done on that site. My assumption that was OP’s attempt to make the site responsive. As you said, we don’t want that headline to be optimized for search engines. Body copy and SEO elements are more important.…Read more

Since everyone has been helping me so much with my Recruiting InMails, I wanted to share some LinkedIn tools that have worked really well for me with the Clubhouse.. I feel like if I can improve on my copywriting skills I could really improve my results (which is why I joined this site)
5 Ways to Use LinkedIn for Sales/Recruiting
1. Setup your…Read more

4. Now that you are connected to them, they have basically given you permission to advertise to them, whenever you post a linkedin update it will show in their newsfeed. I think of LinkedIn Updates kind of like mini ads that consist of a picture and up to 600 characters. Hopefully as I get better at copywriting I will get better at these.
5. I…Read more

These are awesome tips! Thanks.

Thanks, Michael. You might want to check out the Simple Writing System. They will be starting a live coaching course very soon and it will really help you sharpen your writing skills and think like a copywriter. You will receive an email when the class is open.
-
I am definitely interested in that.
I bought the Kickass Copywriting Secrets but I feel like I need a course in the basics before being able to effectively use a lot of those tips.
-
Hi Michael: The reply from Susan Martin was actually from me. She is my evil twin :). With the live coaching the SWS costs $1997. If you purchase the DVD’s in advance the cost is $1197. If you have already purchased KACS from Marketing Rebel you get an additional $100 discount

Thanks Virginia 🙂

I see the SWS costs $800, how much is the online class version?

Thanks, Michael.

Hey Mike,
Great tips. Love LI and always into connecting with folks who are into it. Will send you a connection request. Great to get on the phone and chat sometime soon too. Let me know if I can help you out in any way. Always like to do what I can.
-
BTW, just tried to send you a connection request. You’ve got it set so that it can’t be done without proving to LI that we know you. May want to reset that. In the meantime, please go ahead and send me a connection request on LI. Peace.

John Carlton’s Best Ads: The Accidental Discovery
Golf is one of those golden markets that is clearly targeted...and populated with people who have an irrational passion for the sport. They don't bat an eye when I address them as "golf nuts" (which I frequently do). They glorify in their passion. They are so...
John Carlton’s Best Ads: World Famous Street-Fighter Will Give You A FREE GUN
This piece has mailed as a letter and run as a magazine ad for over seven years. It's a prime example of ''in your face' muscle writing-- it literally asks you to find a large friend, and have him point the gun at you and squeeze the trigger. It's not a "nice" ad....
John Carlton’s Best Ads: A Special Notice
I always load up my ads with urgency. You never want to let your reader think she has the luxury to put the copy aside and think about the offer. World-class salesmen know that letting the prospect "think about it" will kill the sale. Here is an example of piling...
John Carlton’s Best Ads: Final Notice!
Another simple tactic to get extra readership out of an ad, without changing another word in the main copy. The "look" of the words "Final Notice" is important, too. It looks like a real stamp, and the ink is red. It is stamped off-center, so it appears to have been...
I’m glad you like it, Larry. There are only 4 more. Just fair warning 🙂
Oh, wow! I will savor each and everyone! Great stuff!!!!
