Before I start what I’m about to tell you, this is an updated version of the post I previously written a year ago, and I have added more information on identifying a scammy (is that a word?) sales page. At first, I thought of creating a report out of this stuff and sell it for $9.95 but I do not know how many people will be interested. Anyway, may be I will use this post as a test to see how many people are interested and may be I will decide to release a report entirely about this stuff…

And May Be.. Just May Be
You Should Read What Scam Information
I Had For You In This Particular Post
Since It’s Free To Read As For Now !

Okay, first of all, I want to get thing straight… the stuff you are about to read is all in my opinion of how I, The Bad Blogger, identify a scammy sales page. You ready to listen? I bet so… okay, let’s use a real scammy sales page that I had identify a year back and  show you every single scam that you should look out for when you hit a sales page, that way I believe you will…

Understand Better And
Identify Faster Before
You Even Get Caught Up In Buying Scam Products
That Will Piss You Off !

Here’s the link to the real scammy sales page: http://www.mikesmoneysite.com/ (Anyway all the links are down on that page)

Now, have you ever received comments like this on your blog?

“Hey, nice post, very well written.
You should post more about this.”

I had received quite a lot since a year back, and it is link to a sales page about a guy name Mike Smithson who earns $5000 plus a month for posting links on Google. I doesn’t know if you think this guy is real or not, but I got to tell you he had been mark by…

The Bad Blogger
Scum Of Approval !

And I’m going to proof to you what I just said is for real and not some kind of a joke …seriously I mean it. Listen: I once written this post a year back identify two mistakes he make in his sales page and I bet he had read every single words I had written back then and change those two mistakes and thought he could get away with it. I had something to tell this scammy idiot…

“Your Copywriting Skills Are Below Zero And
Even If You Make Those Changes…
You Can’t Fool The Bad Blogger !”

Would you like to know what are the two changes he had made since then? Well… the first one is his headline and his sub headline. Previously it was written like this: “Learn How I Make $5000+ A Month Posting Links On Google” with a stupid sub headline as this: “Would You Like To Make $5000 A Month Posting A Link On Google.” As you can see both the headline and sub headline tells a different story as to “posting links” with “posting a link.”And because he read my previous post, he had since change the sub headline to…

Would You Like to Make $5,000 a Month Posting Links on Google?

The second thing he changes, is his bio on the sidebar. Previously whoever from whichever country that get’s to his scammy sales page, the sentence… “I live in ____, ____”… the blank will changes to which ever country you are from and which ever states you stay. Well here’s the kicker: He never expected a country like Singapore which does not have states will ever reach his sales page. But his wrong. You see, since Singapore do not have a states, the damn stupid software he used…

Can’t Track Any State Where I Stay !

And with that said, here’s what it become… “I live in Singapore,0o.” Well, since he read my previous post a year back, he had since clear of the states problem and change it to just country. You know, I can’t imagine how powerful my blog information are….

Even Scammer
Could Read My Blog !

Sometime, I just feel my blog is better than John Chow’s blog (which he always brag about how good his life are without any specific hard info) and Alvin Phang’s blog (which had also started to brag about how his life are going on then giving blogger great blogging info) and Carl Ocab’s Blog (which had too much lousy guest post that just don’t give powerful content). Well, I’m not saying they suck, I’m saying in terms of content, I might as well…

Win The Information Cup
As A Champ !

Okay, enough about how good my blog is, let’s press on. As you know. now a days there are a lot of sales page that is not just scammy but also stupid. Okay, here’s what they did… they like to show this:

It Is Featured On
Google, MSN And Yahoo !

Guess what? My blog is also featured on Google, MSN and Yahoo. So what’s the big deal? The Big deal is, they thought  using those big names such as Google, MSN and Yahoo will made them look real, but if fact…

It Make Them Look Real Stupid !

Not much of a scam but here’s something you might want to know: Some sales page like the one that Mike Smithson had, he even go further, saying it was featured on “ABC” and “CNN.” I mean how ridiculous is that. Tell me where’s the video and also proof about this big claims? You see, he needs proof for his big claims if it had been featured in big media such as…

TV, Magazine Or Newspaper !

If you go right down to Mike Smithson sales page you will see there is a comment box where you can type, but guess what? Whatever you type, it won’t appear. And here’s something about using comment box as testimonial: Never, I repeat never ever use a comment box in a sales page.

It’s A Sales Page Not A Blog…
God Damn It !

And lastly here’s how you identify whether a testimonial is real or just self-type bullshit:

• Every testimonial must have a picture of the person.

• Every testimonial must have the full name of the person. (Full name as in John Carlton, not J.Carlton)

• Every testimonial must have the website URL (if he had) of the person.

You want to see how a real testimonial looks like? Go to this sales page and look at those testimonial : http://www.simplewritingsystem.com/ (I have got the product myself and is the best in all basic copywriting product ever) – Forgive me, pitching is in my bones and I just can’t help myself sometime, especially…

I Have A Strong Belief
In The Product !

Okay that’s it for the free info I’m giving out here, below are few website that you can use to check whether or not the sales page you had hit on is a scam and resource to look out for.

• Wikipedia – Internet Scams

• Internet Fraud Information: USA.gov

P.S I do hope this post will come in handy when you hit a sales page of an unknown author and is better to bookmark it before you forget.

Today, you will learn something truly important in the marketing world of advertising. Every top marketing Gurus knows, if you have a product you need a sales copy or a sales page. It is just common senses, but what those top marketing Gurus is hiding from you is…

The Fact, The Truth And The Myth Of
Long Copy Vs Short Copy !

If you have been marketing either online or offline, you will know, there are some marketers that said long copy will win over a short copy and others said short copy will win over a long copy with all their implanted…

Marketing Strategies And Tactics !

Believe it or not, in my 3 years of self-studying and reading advertising information from top copywriters in the world, it doesn’t matter what strategies and tactics you implanted into long copy or short copy, what does matter is…

Does Your Copy Still Relevant
To Your Interested Prospects ?

Before I go deeper into this particular post, let me tell you a short story I have heard from a top copywriter in this world. His name is “Gary Halbert,” also known in the advertising world as “The Prince Of Print.” I bet, if you are a copywriter, you should know who this…

Arrogant, Dismissive And
Self-Aggrandizing Guy Is !

The story goes like this:

Let’s say you are a man and God picked a hundred women. And God say, “Just because I’m really bored, I’m going to make you choose the only women you will ever be with for the rest of your life… from this collection of one hundred women. And I’m not going to let you talk to them on the phone. I’m not going to let you see the photography of them. I’m not going to let you see them on T.V. I’m not going to let you talk to their neighbors. Nothing. All I’m going to ask is, I’m gonna have everyone of those women write you a letter and from those one hundred letters, you pick the women you spend your life with.”

What would you want her to tell you?

Would you want letters like, “Hi, my name is Bunny, I’m an Aquarian and I like walks on the beach and rock ‘n roll music. Hope you choose me?”

I don’t think so. You’d want to know everything, would you?

Words From,

“Gary Halbert’s Copywriting Boot Camp Seminar”

I bet you would want to know, how tall she was, how much she weighed, what her religion was, what her age, how she looks like… and etc.. etc.. etc.. , right? You see, what this story is trying to illustrate to you is…

Your Interested Prospects Wants
To Know Everything From Top To Bottom Of
What You Are Selling
If It Is Still Relevant To Him !

In order for you to understand deeper, I want you to know, I’m not trying to tell you to write long copy whatsoever, what I’m trying to tell you is, you must understand the word “Relevant.” I have seen sales copy so long, is just not relevant anymore, is just too…

Boring And
Totally Out Of Course !

So, if you have no relevant stuff to write anymore, do not, I repeat, do not just chuck rubbish information in, just to make it long. Believe me, sometimes, top marketing Gurus and copywriters makes this mistakes of writing too long, so, again remember when you are writing a sales copy or a sales letter…

Make Sure The Information You Are Writing
Is Relevant To Your Interested Prospects !

There is one more important thing I need you to know, and I want you to write it on a piece of paper and paste it somewhere you can see, to make sure you remember that whenever you write a sales copy or a sales letter. Believe me it is by far the most important marketing information you will ever learn, and that is…

Forget About The People
Who Are Not Interested In What You Are Selling,
You Are Not Writing To Them !

The above information is so simple and common sense, but still there are many marketers who just ignored. Yes, you can said is a numbers game, just like what “Multi-Level-Marketers” (MLM) said…

Every One Is Your Prospects !

I’m not going to address any MLM stuff here, so you don’t worry. Okay, let say, I hire two best copywriter in the world to write a world-class sales letter selling you knitting machine, and I send it to you, will you even read it? I bet not, I bet you will throw it away into…

A Waste Paper Basket !

You see, you might read the headline, but I guarantee, you will not read the second line, why? The answer is simple, you are not an interested prospect of buying a knitting machine. What I’m illustrating to you in this post is, in order to write a sales copy that sells, you need to…

Stop Thinking About Long Copy Vs Short Copy !

To The Best You Ever Produce,

The Bad Blogger

Also Known As “The Strange Kind Of Dude”

What you are about to read might offend you, but I rather be honest with you then just hiding my words behind my back. I’m serious . You see, for the last three years, I have been buying marketing stuff online, be it a digital courses or digital products which you can download immediately through the internet, the very best and trusted courses and product I ever brought are all…

Physical stuff !

Now listen up: I have been cheated into courses and products that just doesn’t keep its promise. The worst of all, is their support links are dead. You read that right, they are all dead. Those support links, had no one to operate at all, not even a single soul, is just an empty website. If you ever done that, then get out of my blog. I doesn’t welcome…

Dishonest Humanity
In My Blog !

And guess what? I  just happen to experience that once again.

Here’s what happen…

I brought a product, it’s call “Authority Blueprint X (This is not an affiliate link)” created by two marketers call Alvin Huang And Joel Chue. Before I continue, I want to put this straight, all the words that I’m about to write is all in my opinion of how I look at them for the first time as a customer, so in other words, you can still believe in them, trust them, and moreover buy what they offer but remember this:

Always Think Twice
Before You Ever Buy Anything
From Them !

Okay, let’s continue… I brought the product, and read two of his report of Authority Blueprint, after reading it, I immediately  tell myself, “oh boy, is just another brunch of hot air.” Believe it or not, this product, might be a give away product for any give away event in the future. I just feel the information in there is not worth the price I paid. So I wanted to test their guilt. I want to see if they are honest in their hype. Below is a picture of the promise they make in their sales copy…

Do you understand every word of it? I bet you do. Here’s an explanation of what it means: It means, they are very confident in their product, and you had 60 days to review it. Ok, now here’s the kicker: It said 60 days to review, but it never said to return after 60 days or within 60 days. So, if you are a customer what do you think?

After Or Within ?

For any case, I assume it is within the 60 days and because I’m not satisfy with my purchased, they should return a full no-question-asked refund. What’s the deal here? Simply this:

Full No-Question-Asked Refund !

So with that, I send a ticket to their support, and today is the forth day, no reply, nothing absolutely nothing. Can you imagine that? Is okay, I don’t care about it anymore. But here’s what I had learned and the bottom line of what I want to illustrate to you, simply this:

You Can Hype But Don’t Lie,
Because If You Do,
You Will Lost A Valuable Customer,
Who Is A Rapid Buyer And That’s Me !

Now listen to this: Whatever product you create, make sure it contain valuable information of what your market wants, and not what you market needs, if for any reason, your customer wants a refund, face it, refund them in full, so that your customer will had trust in you, at least to them you are honest with your claim. Now, in one of Gary Halbert’s Letter, he mention a case which almost relates to what I had experience, but in a reverse way.

Here’s a case in point, Gary said in his letter,

“Recently, I got a call from a guy who’s having trouble selling his little report on making extra money.

“Does it work?” Gary asked. “Do the people who buy your report get a good deal? Does it really help them to make a lot of extra money?”

“Not really,” says the guy. “It’s basically just a bunch of hot air, just something I threw together because I know there’s a market for this work at home stuff.”

Well, at this point, Gary lost interest. Gary said,”Why should I care about this nickel-dime scammer and his dreary little report?

How pathetic.”

You see, I never forget about this case, as it tells me, if I really gonna create a product of my own, I need to create something valuable which I’m proud of, and not something I’m not proud of. So, coming back to the previous case, I can now say that both Alvin Huang And Joel Chue are not proud of their product.

How do I know? Simply this:

They Never Reply To My Ticket !

Why? Because they are afraid and they had guilt in their deepest and most inner hearts. Remember this…

Will Always Hide And Speak No Evil,
As God Will Know
Where He Is Hiding !

P.S I do hope this post will give you a valuable lesson in your road to success, be it a product, or writing a sales copy, make sure, I repeat, make sure….

You Keep Up To
Your Promises and Claims !

And lastly…

You Can Hype
But Don’t Lie !

P.P.S Whether or not Alvin Huang And Joel Chue are good or bad marketers, in my opinion, I’m sure I won’t buy anything they offer anymore, but I do hope you considered my experience as a lesson you should learn.

This is what Jason Bourne had been asking himself all the way from the day he was save in the ocean to the last part which he survive through the river of New York City. So what does Jason Bourne had for a copywriting secret?

Simply this: The trilogy of the whole entire Jason Bourne movie is just like a long sales copy with powerful rhythm of fast action chasing, fighting, killing and sense of curiosity of what is going to happen next and what Jason’s next target was. Nevertheless, this movie had created a simple-yet-advance lesson of writing a good sales copy.

Here’s why…

If you ever watch the movie, you will realize every 10 to 15 minutes of the show is another fast action running, chasing and fighting scene, which is impossible to get you bored . Is just like a never-ending heart-pumping roller coaster ride. Now listen: In writing any sales copy for any product, you need to write every section of your copy to be fast action, in other words you must not get your prospect to get bored. You should, by all means write your copy as exciting as it could be by implanting dramatic stories, interesting facts and inserting sense of curiosity into your copy. Here’s how you going to do it…

So what is this hard-hitting desire short sentence about? Simply this: They are words that create a desire to your prospect’s mind to force him to read on, is some sort of curiosity but a much more advance element, simply to say is like a…

Below are a few hard-hitting desire short sentence. You can use them too, not just in your sales copy, but for any written publication you can think off.

• Check this out…

• But wait, there’s more…

• Hang on, I’m not through yet…

• Here’s more…

• There’s more, even more…

• It gets even better…

• And here’s more good news…

• Not yet, not by a long shot…

There are even more of these desire short sentence, but the above are just what came to my mind right now. If you want a full list of this go get your hands on Ben Settle Copywriting Grab Bag, this book is my highest recommendation for any copywriter. Period. Okay now, there is one very important thing that this Jason Bourne story had thought me about, is not much about copywriting, but is something that I want you to know. And that is…

Here’s what I mean: In the story, Jason was running for almost three years from all the people that wanted him dead and for all this, what he really want was to find out…

You know, as persistence as he is, I think for whatever we do, if we think is right, we should always push ourselves forward to achieve what we wanted in life. Many people who started their business, whether is online or offline, when they fail once, they quit. Because they lack of persistence in their mind. Look at me for instant, I have been blogging for since 2008, and what did  I achieve ? My earning through this blog is only about $100 to $200 a month, sometimes less then $50 and worst…

But to me, is always the persistence that pulls me through hard times. I knew, if I don’t quit, even if God wants me to go through the 3 years like Jason Bourne to find who he is, I guess I will take it on for the 3 years of hard times to see the day I start my success life. Hey, I think I’m getting too emotional here, but I just want to tell you what I want and share what I know. Isn’t this blog was created to share? Thinking of it…

If you would like to know a truly excellent and the most effective way to writing bullets that builds mental tension in your prospect to the point which they have to buy your product to discover the answer… then this will be the most important post you will ever read through out the whole day.

And here is why,

Let’s face it… Every single marketers online will tell you the headline is the single most important sentence you will ever write in a sales copy or a sales letter, in fact this is so true to all advertising publication in this world. Just because it is so important, almost everyone out there thinks, the very first sentence to write in a sales copy or sales letter is a…

But the truth is “No.” Writing a killer headline, should be the last to do. I’m not going to address why the headline should be written last… in this particular post, I will in the future, as for now, I’m going to tell you, the very first thing you need to write in a sales copy or a sales letter is…

Yes! You read that right. What I’m referring is a dot or asterisk with a sentence next to it, below is an example of well written world-class bullets:

• How to nail the passionate “sweet spot” of your customer with master-class sales copy! (You’ll gain instant trust because he feels you’re “just like family.”)
• The one envelope that no one in the history of civilization has ever NOT opened!
• How to write a killer headline that stops your intended audience cold! (Find the right “trigger” words that will pinch your reader on the ass and force her to drop everything to read your ad..)
• How to create your own perfect product over a short weekend… so you can start earning your fortune even if you don’t have a real business or anything to sell yet!

“The Most Ripped-Off Copywriter On The Web…”

John Carlton

Bullets Written By,

What you have just read from the example above, is a set of world-class bullets written by John Carlton, and believe it or not, John Carlton, is by far, in my opinion…

Creating bullets is the very first work you will ever do in creating a superior world-class sales copy or a sales letter. You might be asking why is that so? The fact that it is so, because….

Before I go deeper into what I’m going to teach you, let me tell you something straight, learning to write a successful set of world-class bullets for your sales copy or sales letter….

And “process” takes time, this is not an overnight dream, so it doesn’t mean after you had finish reading this post you will be a total professional in writing bullets, like those scam marketers out there told you. The process I’m about to show you is taught by a world top-copywriter named, Gary Halbert, also known by many as the “Prince Of Print.” Believe me…

The first thing you need to do is to get as many world-class bullets as possible and write each and every word down on paper. The reason for doing that is to get a neurological imprint of writing those world-class bullets.
I highly recommend you to read John Carlton’s sales letter and read and write his world-class bullets and keep them as your swipe files. Believe me, there are no secrets or shortcut to writing a world-class bullets. The only way you’ll acquire this skill is through a lot of practice.
The second thing you need is, what I, The Bad Blogger, call…

I had seen too many sales letter, use too much of the four Ws. The four Ws are, “What,” “Why,” “When,” and “Where.” These four Ws have been use to often, and people are sick of reading them. I’m going to give you some of my collection of seductive open phrase, use them well.

• How to…
• The 7-step formula….
• Insider tips from…
• A truly “no brainer…”
• The absolutely essential…
• The single most important…
• The real reason why…
• Proven ways to…
• The art of…

• Three sure-fire ways to….
• A little know foreplay secret…
• The one best way to win….
• A simple 3 second “trick” to…
• Four incredibly easy ways to…
• The very-first ever…

Can you guess which seductive opening phrase above is the best to be use in bullets? Believe it or not…

And I will tell you why right now. It is because people do not know how to do what they are doing, in fact “how to” usually give people an “aha!” experience in their mental tension mind. Okay, by now you should had a basic theory of writing a world-class bullet. Now I’m going to go to the last lesson for today and it is…

This is quite the same as writing a bullet, it is an added sentence after the main sentence to tease the prospect. It look something like this:

• The one mistakes that even pro golfers make that kills the power in their down-stroke… and how to use a simple, easy “adjustment” that will instantly increase your power by 200% or more! (Imagine consistently hitting 300 yard drives, and nailing greens from 150 yards out with a nine iron!)

Believe it or not, the above world-class bullet written by John Carlton will be intrigued by anyone who plays golf. Again I don’t have a magic ward that will instantly give you the skill to write teasing brackets, the only way is to… practice and believe me…

Well, I think that’s the end for today’s lesson, I hope you take my words to heart.

Stay Cool & Sexy,

The Bad Blogger

Also Known As “The Strange Kind Of Dude”

P.S It’s just as hard to write a world-class bullet as it is to become famous and wealthy, all I can say is whatever you do right now, is a process you definitely need to go through before you even get to see the event!
