Imagine doing what it takes to get people's attention, building a connection with them, developing trust, and then after all that effort, sending them off to a rubbish sales page that’s pitching an offer they don’t really want. Of course, you wouldn’t do that on purpose Reader - it would be a total waste of your effort, and their time. But you may be directing your online audience to a sales page that could be better, that’s pitching an offer that could be more attractive. Your marketing isn’t being totally wasted, but it could be more efficient. The Easy To Buy Checklist will help you tune up the offer and the sales page that’s communicating it, so your marketing efforts are more impactful. It's about finding and unlocking sales potential that is already there. And it’s free until Sunday. Then, from Monday 6th July, it’ll be available to buy for £7. P.S. Wanna work with me 1-1 to design/improve your offer, create/improve the sales page, and plan the promo strategy. The first 3 buyers of my new Single Offer Session service (a full day collaborating with me) get £300 off. Get the S.O.S. details here. |

I did not buy the thing. I closed the page, took some calming breaths, and channelled my...
Have you heard the expression ‘sell the sizzle, not the steak’ Reader? Or ‘focus on the benefits, not the features’? In 15+ years writing online sales copy for other people’s businesses, I have heard those two a LOT. From clients. From other copywriters. From business/marketing coaches who mean well, and are trying to improve a sales page they’re critiquing. But, in my opinion, if you’re selling an online service, coaching, group program, course or similar, it’s really crap advice. ‘Sell the...
I’m nearing the end of the third week of having sciatica. Most of the time, I’m pain-free - unless I sit down. And my leg does what it’s supposed to with about 80% reliability.

Sitting in the car park, before embarking on this quest for bread, bananas and Son #2's weekly fix of sausage rolls, I reminded myself of my Doing Hard Things mantra: This can be therapy or torture or somewhere in between,...
