Hi everyone , I just finished the SWS course, and it is incredibly valuable ! Now I have a question: is there a guideline for converting the sales letter into different formats such as social media posts, YouTube videos, blogs, and emails?
-
Hi, Vivian,

Question for anyone who is knowledgeable on Facebook pixel.

Hi Club,
As we know John’s copy style is long, punchy and outrageous at times.

For instance Facebook is a pain in ass with its compliance and ads rules. You gotta be extremely careful with what you say in there. I learned the hard way… believe me.
So,…Read more

Hi, Jahzel,
This is very little “this works and this doesn’t” online or off-.
It all depends on how it’s done.Long copy when it’s interesting and compelling can work.
Short copy when it does what needs to be done and says what need to be said to get the click or sale can work.Generally speaking, shorter often works better because people say…Read more

Yeah, everything you write must go through a rigorous “does this work here, in this context, to this audience, about this subject, at this time?” test. You just gotta train your brain to be objective, and to figure out the risks, rewards, (especially the unnecessary risks and weak-ass rewards), and WHAT WILL WORK BEST.

Sorry, that’s way too little information to figure out what you might be looking for. Need to know what market you’re, specifically. And what the goals of the client are, and what the offer is, and what the product is, and why do you think finding swipes will help you more than just creating original marketing. Also, what is the competition doing,…Read more
