That free report is hype--no different from all the other hot air promises made. Isn't Internet Marketing rife with that?

Really, this has no effect on me. Whereas paying pennies to stateside newbies annoys me. (although I don't spend much time thinking about that either)

Sure, we all know it's pre-launch content and we're gonna get sold on something down the line, but don't let that blind you. There's some great tactics revealed in that report.

I won't be buying the product, but I did learn something from that report. As a result I've slightly changed one of my niche product's marketing systems and I'm going to make more money because of it.

We're marketers, if we can't see through the hype (if there is indeed any) and see the nuggets where they lay then we've got no hope.

Despite the report's knock on using expensive copywriters, the information presented was outstanding. One of the very best free reports I've read.

What are you talking about? I made 4 posts tonight.

I want to learn copywriting and thought this was the best place, so I made it a point to start posting and hanging out here. Thought this was a friendly board, but I guess I post to quick for some folks? Maybe I need to try and become a part of the community a little slower?

Ron, you're fine. Some folks get a little jumpy because we recently instituted a 10 post rule before posting a link. That was due to the "drive by" spammers.

Some people are a little over-zealous about that rule (we all love Bruce here, but...)

Ah, I'm just bustin' your anchor, Bruce. Hope I'll see you in Philly next month again!

But seriously, Ron. Just do your thing and don't worry about the trolls here!

Cheers,

John

Stay cool Ron.

We love having you here.


I liked the report too. I recently heard exactly the same
advice from an ex Google employee.

It's also very much what I would recommend to people
trying to sell information online...have multiple pages
"microniching" the same product or a large product
split up to suit different niches.

I also talked about how doing this can help a copywriter
get paid many times by the same client to write mulitple
niched copy for the same product...
Copywriting: 50 Times The Profits Niche Marketing Online

Kindest regards,

That's the secret of PLR selling....it sells itself with volume and imaginary "Value" and anyone can sell. The sales copy is not a deciding factor. It costs nothing to "print" so they just keep piling it on.

It's the same old $#&t. Marketer offers something that has little value to money-starved rainbow chasers. Nothing new. Nothing compelling. He's just got people working it like a bunch of [expletive deleted] at a bachelor party.
