    Blog/Vlog could use your critique!!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Problems - Lack of clear purpose within the first 3 seconds. - Font is tiring - The way you help someone reach a specific goal(s) is not clearly communicated. He needs to give me a reason to stay. People without sales/copywriting experience often misunderstand what a 'reason to stay/buy'...

    Got my first job through personal connections. Very, very lucky. I'm supposed to help design an email marketing campaign for a military veterans charity - I've never done that before. One of my friends told me something that I wrote on a piece of paper and hung above my desk. Those who can...

    Are People With High IQs More Successful?

    Play to your strengths. I'm sure you've all heard the quote about judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree. (EDIT: You can build strengths too. It doesn't have to be an inborn talent/affinity.)

    Question about copywriting

    MARKETING 
    Different strokes for different customers. Give me 30 minutes to talk to you and learn about you - and I will find you copy that will leave you foaming at the mouth and itching to burst open your wallet. I will then find a 55 year old woman who will read the same copy and ask herself 'who even...

    Why Facebook is a Joke (And various social media/smartphone insanity)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    The only email lists I sign up to are those which give me FREE, high-quality value. If the people who write to me suddenly told me to buy snake oil, I would consider it - because I trust them, and because they have helped me several times. Email is not the problem. Poor quality and targeting is.

    Why don't you quit porn and masturbation?

    no fap? ;( (Seriously though, it HELPED me. That means it can HELP you take action, but you won't get possessed by the spirit of entrepreneurship and launched into action by some magic force.)

    Is it possible to become a Fastlane musician?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Honestly my answer would look something like Jason's answer. I'm really just writing because I checked out your SC page. I was having a shitty morning, listened to your stuff, and now I'm having a great morning :) Your music is excellent - from both a subjective and objective perspective.

    Heh. I spent about 3 years figuring out how to make a very specific sound for my music. (No I didn't google it every day.) Cracked the code just about a week ago. I was looking for a FULL DRAWBAR HAMMOND B3 ORGAN WITH A CHORUS AND LESLIE SPEAKER. Then I had to find and get the plugins which...

    Any recommended books on communication and verbally selling?

    Perhaps it's an environmental thing. I have tried it a lot of times. (This doesn't mean '3' It means '100s'. And UK business-people have not been very receptive to me using common 'influence techniques' on them.) Most of my successes came from me being genuine, honest, and laying all the cards...

    Any recommended books on communication and verbally selling?

    Psycho-Cybernetics/Zero Resistance Selling and exposure therapy. Selling is 90% mindset and 10% technique. Any time I tried to sell a smart client using common 'techniques' they closed themselves off because they could smell bullshit manipulation attempts from a mile away. Seriously 80% of...

    How to make most dull, boring, inefficient thing sound COOL!!!

    He didn't really do very much. I saw this and thought he was a mediocre speaker at best. THE PRODUCT sold itself because the people in the room knew its implications. I know this goes against the copywriting grain, but sometimes you don't need to tell people 'what's in it for them.' Sometimes...
