Rich's current Twitter status:at wannadu city with family. Having great time
For as long as I've been in this business, I've heard one thing over and over again:Continue reading Is Copy Really King?"When it comes to making sales, copy is king." So do I agree with it? Yes...and no. Let me explain... I think that copy is still the most important cog in the sales and marketing machine. Whether we write it or speak it, copy gets inside the head of your prospect and finds those hot buttons that get them stirred up and reaching for a credit card. But there's more to writing great copy than just the occasional penning of a sales letter or email that elicits response.


In this clip, Copywriting Legend John Carlton offers up 3 essential elements your testimonials must have to give you maximum credibility and instant maven status.
Take a look...

Gotta make this quick, because Strategic Profits Live! is getting set to kick off. But I wanted to let you in on a special surprise I've been keeping under my hat for a while...
We've decided that, if you couldn't make it to Strategic Profits Live!, you'll have a daily ringside seat.
You read that right--for the next several days, the Strategic Profits Blog will be transformed into Conference Central, complete with daily updates on the latest happenings, smokin' hot video clips from the speakers and behind-the-scenes interviews you won't want to miss.
We're talkin' no-holds barred (and completely pitch free) nuggets of wisdom from the world's greatest marketing and business building minds, including Frank Kern, Jeff Walker, Mike Filsaime, John Carlton, Jay Abraham, Janet Switzer and many more.
There's never been anything of this magnitude ever attempted in the internet marketing world, and I'm giving the cameras an All-Access pass into every nook and cranny.
Here's a few clips from today's opening day activities - some workshop attendees and the crew getting up for the main event that I kick off tomorrow ... looking good ...

But it gets worse - because once you get attention, your job has just started.
You see, the real trick is holding onto your reader's attention long enough to get your message across.
My good friend and world-class copywriter John Carlton says:
"The most common blunder rookie copywriters make is to assume the reader will 'hang in there'... Your reader will not hang in there. At the very moment you bore him, confuse him, or ask him to 'bear with you'...he's out of there."
Think about it: Doesn't your own experience confirm it?

Ever since I released my Internet Business Manifesto, the phone has been ringing non-stop, Sheila my assistant has walked off the job three times because people insist on talking to me about the contents of the manifesto, and Debbie the secretary has told us we're getting more calls coming in than the call center up stairs.
And to really top things off, my wife and daughters saw what was going on and high tailed it over to the other side of Florida for a "girl vacation."
Our Alexa ranking is a cool 492 today and over 16,612 people have downloaded the manifesto.
It's been one of the hottest topics on the Warrior Forum and I've been getting rave reviews from people like John Reese, John Carlton, Jim Edwards, and many more.
Here's what Jim Edward's told his list:
"Most people don't know this, but 18 months ago I was so stressed out... strung out... and just plain tired, I was ready to quit the Internet at the "height" of my career... All I did was work, sometimes 16-18 hours a day for days on end... and there was absolutely no end in sight. Yeah, I was making a good living, but my organization sucked and I was trying to do everything myself... Then I met a guy who helped me understand that I was in charge of a *business* -- not the "one-man band" that was getting ready to put me into an early grave. He is one of the main reasons I stayed online and now have a REAL organization that is growing by leaps and bounds with each passing month!"
Then, my server crashed briefly under the number of people trying to get their hands on the report. Let's just say my bandwidth bill isn't going to be cheap. Plus, Dan my right hand man has found hundreds of bloggers from all corners of the web, discussing the manifesto and declaring it "the most important report to be released in years."
Another one of my assistants, Kate, tells me there are thousands of people emailing me asking questions about the manifesto.
People are asking me what I'm going to be presenting at the Dan Kennedy Infomarketing Summit, and my new partners at the 300 million dollar company I'm working with are wondering why they can't get through to me.
At one point, 17 people were opting in every second.
No wonder it's so crazy around here.
But I'm not done. People have been begging me for more details about my strategies.
So I'm going to actually let you create the content for the follow up to the Internet Business Manifesto.
Here's what I'd like you to do... Answer the following question...
Q: After reading the manifesto, what is the one thing that you think will prevent you from achieving success similiar to that of my clients?
I'm preparing a video you should expect to see in your email box in the next few days. In it, I'll try and answer some of your questions. I feel like Noah trying to hold back the flood...
