Guru Sales Page Distilled
by Jim Mr Idea Green
I just got a series of emails from one of the "big names" in Internet Marketing. He's got a "great" new product that he is flogging. I thought that I might take a look at his sales page, and distill it down to the bare essentials for you. Once I give you my impressions, I'll give you a link to the page so that you can see just how it is implemented.
The copy starts out with the obligatory headline, screaming out a can't resist benefit of the product. This is quickly followed up by a sub-head that helps to prop up and expand the headline while bringing in the spectre of scarcity.
I was appalled that in a highlighted box that scarcity was emphasized again using a random number script. "There Are Only 10 Spots Left In Thunder Bay, Ontario" which if you reload the page, becomes a random number between three and ten - at least that was the spread I got when I reloaded the page! Destroyed the credibility for me. It was a nice touch of personalization that the script was able to pinpoint the city where I live.
Having set up that I needed the product, and I might not be able to get it for long, the copywriter included a custom buy now button.
At this point, the copy reverts to form. The writer is identified, today's date is included, and I am addressed as "Dear Friend".
