Example #7999432 of the foolishness of mindless swipers:<\/p>\n
Over the last few weeks, I\u2019ve discovered my most-ripped-off opt-in page (I am even seeing it mindlessly copied now by a couple IM guru types who charge a small fortune to learn from them) gets by far the least (almost a full 100% less response) sales.<\/p>\n
I suspected that one would lose from the start.<\/p>\n
After all, it appeals to the dregs of the online marketing-related niches.<\/p>\n
(Which is probably why it appeals to swipers so much, too.)<\/p>\n
But, even I didn\u2019t know it\u2019d get its arse kicked that bad.<\/p>\n
Yet, here these guys are swiping away like their lives depend on it.<\/p>\n
But, here\u2019s the fun part:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s very deceptive in how it\u2019s losing. By that I mean, this loser ad gets way more overall opt-ins than the winning page, despite it leading to way less money in the bank. And, I suspect the schlubs swiping it are seeing an uptick in their opt-ins thinking \u201cit\u2019s working!\u201d<\/p>\n
But, it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n
Not if they care more about sales vs soft metrics (like opt-in rates), at least.<\/p>\n
Anyway, it’s amusing to think of people copying an ad that literally brings in the worst bottom-of-the barrel leads because some marketing teacher told them to swipe & deploy, or whatever the goo-roo fanboys are calling it these days.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also an example of yet another internet marketing stupid tax:<\/p>\n
Blindly swiping losing ads that get way fewer sales and\/or generate terrible leads.<\/p>\n
Mindless swipers really are a small thinking lot.<\/p>\n
And, this is just one more example of why…<\/p>\n
