Another Copywriting Contest

drkilstein · **Another Copywriting Contest -** 03-08-2008, 11:48 PM

Hey everyone,

It's time for another copywriting contest!

Last time, we looked at the weight loss niche. This time,
let's look at another niche.

This one is the business opportunity niche.

In this case, you are selling a business opportunity.

What are some ideas?

Pick up a copy of Business Opportunity magazine and see the
huge number of ideas.

Or Google the term and see how many options come up.

I want you to write a sales letter for a real or imaginary
product.

The letter can be submitted in word or posted online.

The deadline for this contest is March 30, 2008 at midnight
east cost time.

As with the last contest, all entries become property
of OTC Publishing.

The winning entry gets $1000.

I will be making video critiques of many of the letters so please
do not request that they be kept private.

You should enter even if you don't think you are good enough.

You never know.

Our last contest winner - Jonathan Fields - wasn't even a copywriter and he still won.

Remember, you must be on the sixfigure list so you can follow all the announcements and your entries must be on time.

No excuses.

Good luck to all.

Harlan

Peace.

Just curious how this contest turned out -- I'm looking forward to seeing some of the critiques.

Me too! The silence is deafening. You almost get the impression that nobody entered the contest.

Hey Guys,

You won't get a reply for this from Harlan until at least 12 May 08.

Harlan is on a yoga retreat and his yoga instructor threatened him with
physical harm if he brought his laptop.

So, he is incommunicado until then

Hope this helps

Well, whatever happened with the last contest, I sure hope Harlan will run another one soon. I just discovered this thread (I just finally got around to refocus my attention on copywriting after a long time of major preoccupation elsewhere).

I could use that $1000 and I would love the chance to test my skills in that arena.

Harlan managed to sneak out to a local cafe.

I just received an email from him pushing his Finger Healing product.
