Instead, they talk about this one thing even some of the best copywriting courses ignore or just glossover, at best. Details on page 16.)

• The “back-asswards” orderin which old school copywriters wrote copy that crawled inside their customer’s psychology and virtually tormented them until they bought! (Page 38)
• When having a lower price can hurt your company’s sales, branding, and even reputation! (Page 25)

Page 103.)
• The “drug dealer” sales letter opener that works like crazy to get people to read your ads top to bottom. (This works so well you almost have to be careful— otherwise you could get a lot of people buying from your sales letters who aren’t even prospects for what you’re selling! Page 70.)

P.S. To get an even deeper knowledge and understanding of how to bat out sales copy the way I use, Copy Slacker also has 6 valuable “appendix” sections that include:

• The exact bullet point templates I use in my own ads —compiled over the years that are perfect for sparking ideas for when you need to write bullets, or for helping you give your bullets nice, irresistible “twists” that make people go crazy with curiosity. They are easily used, changed and adapted, for your needs, and I use this exact same list every time I write a sales letter to save me a ton of time and headaches.
• Secret words and phrases (based on research conducted by one of the single greatest copywriting minds who ever lived) —that is like installing thousands of years of linguistic credibility into your sales copy… and that can make even your craziest and most outrageous claims & benefits sound more realistic and believable.
• elBenbo’s 491-Page Swipe File —made up of 50 sales letters/ads I’ve penned over the past 18 years, that collectively pulled in tens of millions of dollars (or more, I lost count) spanning multiple markets, selling various kinds of products, at varying price points, including in industries like: Weight loss, self-defense, health supplements, golf, MLM, home business, real estate, business buying, a paid podcast, Kindle books, dog training/health, newsletters, work-at-home, marketing training, business building, and college funding consulting. Several were even turned into VSLs and you can use all these sales letters & ads as templates, idea-generators, or just case studies you can adapt (not copy & paste) and apply to your own ads.
