I've grown one of my alternative health businesses from $0 per month in sales to $65,000 a month in just 12 months by adhering to the rules and being a better copywriter/marketer than the competition.

The other great thing about alternative products as opposed to the info business is that the re-sell rate is generally speaking much, much better.

Heck 30% of my customers are repeat buyers. You sell them once and cha-ching!

WHOA! Mike, that's great to hear. I've read "The 12-Month Millionaire" and have always wanted to try the alternative health biz. (My fear of course was federal, state, and local governments raiding my home with HK MP5s locked and loaded 'cause of some copy I wrote.)

I have a name for a new product, I've designed the packaging and have a print ad "sketch" for the product. The headline and copy need tweaking, but what do y'all think?

Is there a danger of offending some christians?

Is there a danger that the imagery is just a little bit too graphic?

Warning: When rubbing Mycoxafailin, do so for a very short time or else you'll need to buy another product we have to help with that problem

you're destroying valuable back-end opportunities

Hey jaykay!

What about the "back-end"?

I'm thinking the reflection of the light on the lid is too short and thick.

As well as the the jar being the wrong shape. I'd still want it to be usable though. I'd be bad if you couldn't reach the last few smears left in the jar and had to find something longer that a finger to reach it. Maybe squarish.

The Jesus image is better than Lazarus at least.

Hey guys, if you looked at the name of the product and spoke it slowly, you'd get my intention for posting it.

Let me help you:

mycoxafailin

Say it slowly:

my - cox - a - failin

Get it? Seriously, would anyone here name a real Viagra type product mycoxafailin?

Also, who in their right mind would right copy so over the top that would probably offend any mystic?

I should have posted the faux ad on April 1st.

I think most of us here got the joke in the first place

except for abdellah maybe.

FRom the responses I assumed many weren't getting it either.

JayKay, maybe if the jar was deeper, and the lid was a soft rubber with a slit in it (you know, so you could quicky stick your "finger" through to get a dab, without opening it fully).

My guess would be the old 80/20 rule. 80% didn't "get it" and 20% did.
