Hear the “Simple” with “Self”.

Not only is this important in getting more click thru’s but absolutely vital

in your long copy ads!

It’s not enough to get people to read our entire letter… we want them

to get lost in it. Be excited -enriched - eager to take in everything

we say and buy now!

In my copy - people tell me all the time, “Shaune, it just didn’t ‘feel’ like I

read 8 pages of copy” - but they do… sometimes it’s a lot more.

That’s what copywriters mean when they talk about the “grease-slide”. Sadly

they never really tell you how to accomplish it.

 

But fear not, because I’m about to show you with this example…

Here’s how to combine 3 or 4 elements and accomplish a fast and furious

greased-slide in your own copy…

This is part of a headline triad. Written by a student in one of my past copywriting
coaching programs. It uses:

- Rhythm and Cadence -
- Power of 3 -
- Ellipses with a Crescendo -

This is for a Fertility Doctor. Keep in mind you CAN’T use hype in
this market. You have to be sensitive and use gentle persuasion - or what

I call Indirect Persuasion.

               There is A Doctor Who Will Listen. Dr Tina Will…
                Hear Your Concerns - Answer Your Questions
                             And Help You Become Pregnant.

Can you hear the rhythm in that?

It’s short - crisp and helps with what I call
“The Speed of The Read”.

The reason?

- The “ear” and “er” and the end of “Hear” and “Answer”.

- “Your” in the middle of both phrases in the middle line.

- “ns”: at the end of “Concerns” and “Questions”.

It gives it a really nice rhythm don‘t it?

One word of warning: If you do this too much, it’ll sound like poetry.

As you know we are NOT writing poetry!

All we are doing is increasing the “Speed of The Read”. So
people will actually read - get - and take immediate action in

our sales messages.

 

So use this technique “sparingly” throughout your copy and watch

your response and profits soar!
