Let’s cut to the chase. You want to write effective sales pages, and I have the exact formula to do it.

Simply write your answers to the relevant questions below and you’ll have all the elements to your own beautifully coherent sales page.

The What

• What is the product?

I know a secret that you don’t.

Today I’ll show you the tactic I’ve used and coached people to use, in order to get a salary above what’s advertised.

“FUNNIEST email I ever got. I signed up right away.” — former cart abandoner

Researchers at Baymard Institute have found that, on average, around 69.80% of your customers will abandon their cart. That’s 70%.

If 70% of your teeth fell out, you’d start to take action. So why is it that marketers don’t put a lot of thought into their abandoned cart emails?

Lackluster attempts at abandoned cart emails are the digital equivalent of throwing a baitless hook into a large lake. No wonder nobody is biting.

Today I’ll give you three of my personal email templates I use to…

Let’s cut to the chase. You have cold leads to warm up, and I have the exact formula to do it.

Structure your emails like this:

1. Introduce yourself. What’s your name?
2. Build credibility. Who are you writing on behalf of? What would the recipient recognize about your business? Have you won awards or gone viral in prominent publications?
3. Reinforce credibility. What credible and popular businesses currently use or buy your product? Hype yourself.
4. Offer. How can you help them and their business? What are you selling and for how much? Don’t ask a cold lead to request a quote, it’s too much work. …

We’ve all heard of the In-N-Out & Starbucks secret menus. Ironically, the fact that we have negates the very notion that they’re ‘secret’ at all.

However, secrets are sexy. It’s nice to leverage the exclusivity of a secret to get something others don’t really know about. It’s exclusive. It’s special.

In today’s entry of ‘Steal This Campaign’ I’m going to teach you how to create your own…

We’ve heard it all before, from those who have nothing or those who have too much… “Money can’t buy you happiness.”

It’s not that money can’t buy you happiness, it can. It’s that an excess of money won’t make you any happier.

Think of it like this…

You have a plate of your favorite food.

Now you have two plates.

Now you have three.

There’s only so much you can eat before more food lacks any further benefit.

According to research from Raisin in 2020, the happy figure we should all be aiming for was an annual salary of £33,864 for UK residents.

A Cheat Sheet for Optimizing Your Copy To Digest in 1 Minute or Less

• Make your description sound bigger than it is. It’s not grey, it’s gun-metal grey. Use more adjectives.
• Make the copy easy to understand. Simplify the products USP (unique selling point). It’s not a system for optimizing dynamic customer flow, it’s software to drive more sales.
• Make the product sound inexpensive by undermining your competitors. Use lines like why pay more? Or like X, but half the price.
• Make it sound high-quality if it’s not…

Lack of availability is an aphrodisiac in marketing terms.

The less you have, the more valuable it becomes — not everyone will be lucky enough to own it.

Today I’ll be telling you about the most under-utilized tactic in stock-control: the ballot.

With a ballot, you’ll be selling more than you have and accepting the funds of only a few lucky buyers.

I Was Sucked In by It, so I Knew Others Would Be

This entry of Steal This Campaign is quite meta for me because I’m telling you to steal a campaign that I stole from someone else. You’re stealing what’s already been stolen.
