Default The 233 Page Sales Letter!!! - 05-04-2008, 11:05 AM

*GASP*

THIS IS THE 233 PAGE SALES LETTER...


Every page is pure gold, ladened with semi-curiosity/benefit-driven "subheadlines" from which you can derive inspiration for your copy.

Some "random" extracts of the book...

- Can you imagine yourself a millionaire? (See Page 18 )

- One sound idea is all you need (See Page 8 )

- The strange power of a child (See Page 7)

- A fifty cent lesson in persistence (See Page 5)

- Three feet from Gold (See Page 3)

- You don't have to start at the bottom (See Page 65)

- Your associates can be priceless (See Page 67)

Folks, you have no reason to not craft eye-popping, throat-grabbing headlines

And in case you don't know, Think and Grow Rich is FREE, just google it.

PS: Overzealous swipers, this book may be too clunky for your swipe folder Might have to rip the book apart if you want to swipe pages.

Yea it's a book often recommended by "gurus" in the copywriting arena - as a self help book.

But you are so right - it's loaded with copywriting techniques.

Yes Think And Grow Rich was written as a lead in to
Napolean Hill's Laws Of Success.

Kind of ironic that the 233 page sales letter ended up
being a bestseller that has endured for nearly a century.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

I can think of a two thousand year old sales letter that's about ten times (version dependant) the page count of Think and Grow Rich...

Dont forget Rich Dad, Poor Dad in your list of (very) long sales letters!

Yes - there are about 4 versions.

I would say get the "original" and then the "modern" one.
