You know I am working on a book about luck.

So, thanks to my Would You Click this Ad? thread, I have learned that antagonistic marketing really gets attention (not necessarily conversion). Going from "Wanna Get Lucky?" to "Your Luck Sucks!" has quintupled my traffic!

I'm considering some YouTube spots and wonder if the antagonistic angle would be appealing to people who want to get lucky? I.e. an interview conducted from the cockpit of a Ferrari.

I'm not planning on showing my PayPal statements to PROVE my method, but what do you think? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
