Check out this &#8220;Guerilla&#8221; critique I did of http://www.MassageEnvy.com.
What makes it &#8220;Guerilla&#8221; is that the fine folks at Massage Envy didn&#8217;t actually ask me to critique their site.
It&#8217;s just that I&#8217;m such a big fan of their service that I think their website needs a proper savaging.

Check out this whoppingly-deep video where I sift my way through my friend Wiley&#8217;s Dietary Cure for Acne site. Wiley&#8217;s got a great product and great proof . . . but his conversions on this site are in the toilet. Fire up the speakers and sit back as I explain why.

<p>P.S. (Got a few comments from folks saying the audio is a bit low on the vid. Not sure what happened with my mic there, but I just uploaded a new version with *slightly* better audio. Afraid you may have to put on your headphones to really hear it properly. Sorry.)</p>

Hey folks,
In today&#8217;s video copy critique, I take a look at http://www.karaokestardvd.com.
It&#8217;s a long critique (about half an hour . . . I got rolling and couldn&#8217;t stop) packed with a lot of &#8220;deep digging&#8221; into how you can improve the readability and flow of your copy, why &#8220;mean&#8221; copy doesn&#8217;t work and how to [...]]]></description>

<p>Hey folks,</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s video copy critique, I take a look at http://www.karaokestardvd.com.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a long critique (about half an hour . . . I got rolling and couldn&#8217;t stop) packed with a lot of &#8220;deep digging&#8221; into how you can improve the readability and flow of your copy, why &#8220;mean&#8221; copy doesn&#8217;t work and how to get more &#8220;intimate&#8221; with your audience.</p>
<p>I also spend a good amount of time revealing my super-sneaky technique for installing &#8220;Criteria&#8221; into the minds of your market in your copy (basically telling them what they should DEMAND in a product . . . and showing them that your product meets that demand.)</p>
<p>Check it out and leave a comment =-)</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Jay Deiboldt asked me to critique his "Google Slapper" sales letter . . . Man, he's gonna regret that =-)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="545" height="361" id="viddler_aba3084d"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple/aba3084d/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/simple/aba3084d/" width="545" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler_aba3084d"></embed></object></p>
<p>Jay Deiboldt was one of the first 5 to ask for one of my complimentary copy critiques. This video is a bit long but goes into a lot of detail on why Google Slapper isn&#8217;t quite converting at the levels Jay wants it to (even though the letter looks great and was written by a pro.)</p>
<p>In this video you&#8217;ll learn . . .</p>
<p>* Why your lead MUST flow naturally from your headline to keep drag your customers kicking and screaming towards the sale.</p>
<p>* What &#8220;Speedbump&#8221; words are . . . and how to eliminate them to make reading your copy as easy as downing a can of soda pop.</p>
<p>* Why doing the &#8220;pre-work&#8221; of writing your sales letter is so important. . . </p>
<p>And a whole bunch more. Hope you enjoy the vid (it&#8217;s a little long at 22 minutes, but there&#8217;s a lot of good content.)</p>
<p>More to come soon. </p>
