Some copywriters are big on the so-called “7 deadly sins.”<\/p>\n

In fact, many copywriting teachers and coaches will insist you work them (i.e. wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony) into your ads whenever possible.<\/p>\n

Does that really work?<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t know.<\/p>\n

I can’t remember ever sitting down and thinking, “okay, now I’m going to work some wrath in… then slap in some gluttony… and top it off with some lust…”<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s not the way I roll.<\/p>\n

And I don’t think about it, either way.<\/p>\n

BUT… there is one emotion I always, Always, ALWAYS work in to my ads… that I think every single person who tries to sell anything (online or offline) MUST learn about.<\/p>\n

And that emotion is… belief.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, it doesn’t sound as sexy as the 7 deadly sins.<\/p>\n

But this is the one big “AH HA!” secret I learned from the late, great copywriter Eugene Schwartz that’s been responsible for more winning ads than anything else I’ve ever used. In fact, Schwartz discovered a way to arrange his paragraphs and sentences so they oozed<\/em> credibility and belief, with or without testimonials or other “proof” elements, and even as he packed them with hundreds of big claims and promises.<\/p>\n

Very cool stuff.<\/p>\n

And very PROFITABLE, too.<\/p>\n

You can hear all about it in his famous Phillips Publishing speech.<\/p>\n

This 90-minute teaching helped me compete against FAR more experienced and better trained copywriters when I was just starting out.<\/p>\n

And it (quite literally) saved my bacon!<\/p>\n

Usually, it sells for as much as $297.00.<\/p>\n

But for the next few days, you can grab it for just $20.<\/p>\n
