The podcasts are on hiatus for a few days, as I’m getting ready for the live Immersion Workshop I’m doing at my office next week along with Kirt Christensen.
Meanwhile, I’ve gotten some great response to the email I sent out last night about “Chicken House Sangria” (even though that was a made-up phrase that means nothing, as far as I know). So I thought I’d share that with you. Here’s the story…
About a year and a half ago, I wrote some copy for a couple of guys named Dr. Mike and Howie.
They paid me a crapload of money for the copy.
I’m not kidding.
Honestly I didn’t want to even write their copy, and I quoted them an outrageously inflated price, assuming they would say “no”.
You could have knocked me over with a feather when Dr. Mike said, “Do you take checks or would your prefer a credit card?”
These guys obviously had way too much money.
I considered it my duty as an American to take as much of their money as possible.
So I wrote the sales copy for this workshop they were having.
It sounded kind of cool, because it was all about generating leads.
And after all, I wrote the copy… so I felt as though someone had “grabbed me by the eyeballs” and “sucked my wallet right out of my pocket”, giving me an uncontrollable urge to go to the seminar.
Once I got to the seminar, I understood.
I understood why they would be willing to pay me stupid amounts of cash to write their copy.
It was because these two jokers were making a fortune with their lead generation system.
I was blown away.
The Point of the Story
Well, it seems like Dr. Mike and Howie have even MORE money to throw away these days.
And they’re about to throw away $10,000 of it.
Maybe to you.
Here’s the story: Dr. Mike and Howie are having a huge competition where the winner takes home $10,000 cash.
And I thought maybe you’d like to win that $10k.
Get into the contest by going to: http://PimpMyLeads.com
Here’s their evil scheme…
They’re releasing the new, bigger, badder version of their lead-generation software (Lead Supreme). It’s version 3.0.
They’re so confident that any idiot who can press a button can use it to generate leads, they’re willing to back it up with a $10,000 prize.
Now, you’re no idiot — all my readers are smart, good looking, and the best of all possible people.
So I figure you have an even better chance of winning than the average guy or gal.
PLUS…
They Even Show You How To Win
To take this lunacy one step further, they’re actually going to show you how to win the dang contest.
The contest is: who can generate the most leads in 10 days!
Using their software.
And they show you how to do it.
Now there is a catch: it costs $20.
$20 bucks to get access to Lead Supreme Version 3.0 software, and use it to generate as many leads as you can.
HEL-LOOOOOOO-OOOOOO!
I’m sure there’s some rational reason for them to do this.
But knowing these guys, the whole idea was probably concocted somewhere during the second pitcher of Sangria on the back deck of a chicken house in Austin.
So I feel it’s your duty as an American to take full advantage of this delirium- induced drama, and take their offer.
Ahem.
Back to my point.
You’re Crazy If You Pass This Up
I rarely put things this strongly… but passing this up would be kinda dumb.
The worst thing that could happen is you pay $20 for big fat pile of new leads.
And the best thing that could happen is you win Dr Mike’s $10,000.
(If you do, you don’t have to share it with me, but if you felt inclined to, that would be okay with me).
Sign up for it now.
They’re only letting 1,000 people into the contest, and the whole thing starts on October 13th.
The Story: Have you ever read a website and it just seemed to “stiff” or “formal” to you?
The Story: If your copy can’t cut through the clutter, you never be able to make the sale.
The Story: Let’s assume you’re writing your own copy (maybe you can’t afford to hire a professional, or you just love writing copy for your own products).
The Story: Almost without fail, copy that doesn’t get good results suffers from a lack of powerful, persuasive, and pithy bullet points.
The Story: There’s a raging debate about whether long copy still works on the web, but the answer is surprisingly no different than it was 100 years ago.
