Pete and I get a LOT of feedback about the show…

And heaps of questions from the copywriters in our audience.

It’s not hard to see why…

Pete’s 15 hard-won years in the direct response copy trenches means he’s the go-to guy (or should that be ‘wizard’?) when it comes to all things copy.

So this week we pick up from where we left off last week

This show is for the writers.

And in this episode we rap about a very specific copy skill…a powerful skill which forms one part of the foundation for kick-butt, money-making copy.

What ‘skill’ do I speak of?

How to piece together a big, bold promise that grabs your reader by the lapels and pulls them into your copy. A quick and easy promise so appealing…your reader MUST read your copy to find out more.

There are many facets to great copy. But if you can nail the big promise, your half way home.

Today, you’ll learn the ‘Wizard way’ for uncovering a big, bold, attention grabbing promise.

Press down hard on the play button above and you’ll discover:

• Pete’s big takeaway: the two essential ‘attention grabbers’ that round out a big, money-making promise… 
• The two ‘money thieves’ that instantly turn-off hot buyers…and LOSE you sales faster than a politician breaks an election promise (avoid BOTH in your copy at all costs!)
• Why ‘the prince of print’ Gary Halbert always said ‘it’s better to be redundant than remiss’ and why this advice is crucial to compelling, sales-driven copy…
• The ‘Homer Simpson’ strategy for turning readers into hot and heavy buyers

Listen up…

What if I told you by making a few ‘tweaks’ to your copy you could…

DOUBLE your response…DOUBLE your customers…and DOUBLE your sales…

Instantly.

Would you be interested to know what those ‘tweaks’ are?

Of course you would!

Here’s the thing…

There’s a BIG difference when it comes to writing for men…and women.

Most B and C copywriters soak their copy with words and phrasing that completely turn women off.

If you use these words in your copy…you could lose HALF your potential market. And leave a tonne of money on the table.

That’s HUGE.

Well, today you’re in luck.

Because Pete and me are going to help you get your copy on track. We’ll help make sure your copy is packed full of emotionally-charged copy that hits the right emotional triggers for the women in your market and pushes them towards a sale.

And we’ve got the best in the business to help us out…

On the show today we’ve got a very special guest. World-class female copywriter (and former Baywatch super-star) Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero.

Over the next 26 minutes you’ll hear as Lorrie shares her hard-won tips on how you write compelling sales copy that gets the ladies in your market buying.

Tune in now and you’ll discover:
