Ok, I've been laughing my butt off for hours now guys. My cheeks are hurting, my jaw is aching and I'm inspired to work on my salesletter some more - so I gotta go.

But first I have some advice for yall:

Peter, you're setting off the metal detector over at the GetBlogs site. So turn your hat around, loose the glock and walk through again.

Tim, whazzzzzup? No "Hoods" bad enough for you in Assisi?

And Dean, did you say you were on crack?

Ok homies - Word

Paul


What the heck should I write here?

Yo, Paul

Ain't no surprise that yo' site bounced Homeslice back down (get down Homey!) when it nabbed a peep at his bugged grill... n' all that loaded bazooka sh*t... scared it silly!

Don't let Homey close to yo' hood bro! Or yo' dizzy site be pullin' cheese from da boy's dome piece... blowin' papes... actin all off the hook n' sh*t without your knowledge or nuthin'! If you know what I'm sayin'...

I can smack talk homey cuz the man has to cross the pond to dance my turf... and he be alone in The Sainties Hood of Assisi

But it be time this Assisi homeboy end this front n' jet...

signin' out

- The Timinator

P.S. (Dean brilliant word list! I saved it to disk and just learned a new language!)
(Paul - Set the Homeboy alarm back on red alert!)
(Peter - Get down Homey!... )

My wife ran into the room because I was laughing so hard...

Ok Homies,

I just posted a picture of myself so you all know what you're up against if you ever set foot on my turf.

Hi Peter,

Are you talkin inbound or outbound? Cuz there's a difference you know :P

I'll probably change that picture later tonight so people don't get get the wrong idea.... or maybe not.

Maybe that'll add an element of controversy and get people talking. Hmm, lets see...

"Americas Most Wanted: Internet Marketing Genius Spends Night In Custody For Generating TOO MUCH Traffic To His Clients Sites"

Do you think it's too much Peter?

Actually, if it were relevant to something, anything, it's not bad at all.

You're getting pretty good at this copywriting gig, Paul.

I think it's far better than the one there now.

I agree with you, Paul. Try this: "If you have 2 hours..." Now state the biggest benefit you can think of. "If" represents a criteria to be met - if you can stand on one foot, if you can whistle, if you can point and click. If they meet that criteria, then what do they get?

Often, this might be structured as an "If Then" headline. If you can xyz, then you can abc.

Take off the gloves. Start with a lie - If you have 2 hours, then you can make a million dollars, today. Then you can edit it back, until you reach truth. Then we can ad some pizazz, probably by using adjectives.

So make sure you add the "then" then.
