Chris "Mr. Moneyfingers" Haddad... Jeff Walker-Trained Product Launch Manager, Results-based marketing consultant, frankly-awesome direct response copywriter, strangely good dancer, capitalist hippie and all around great guy. On this site he shares all sorts of tips and tricks on how to make good money in bad times... opines fiercely on things that matter to him and occasionally goes a tad bit nuts. Plus he can do that thing with his eyebrow.
Check out this whoppingly-deep video where I sift my way through my friend Wiley’s Dietary Cure for Acne site. Wiley’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.
Just got back from Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Manager Training in LA . . .
I’ll be blogging about this event more in a day or two . . . but for now, check out this “behind the scenes” video where I ask a bunch of drunken MARKETING GODS what they got out of the training . . .
Plus I drag Jeff Walker himself ACROSS THE COALS and make him spill his biggest secrets =-)
Check out this (shockingly . . . I tend to ramble) short video where I put two VERY different squeeze pages through their paces, explain the ONE THING your squeeze page is trying to accomplish give out simple but powerful pointers that will turn even a “dog” squeeze page into a winner literally overnight.
And let me know what you think in the comments section =-)
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.)
In today’s video copy critique, I take a look at http://www.karaokestardvd.com.
It’s a long critique (about half an hour . . . I got rolling and couldn’t stop) packed with a lot of “deep digging” into how you can improve the readability and flow of your copy, why “mean” copy doesn’t work and how to get more “intimate” with your audience.
I also spend a good amount of time revealing my super-sneaky technique for installing “Criteria” 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.)
This site isn’t a “sales letter” but when Gwen asked me to critique it I felt like I had to. Why? Because Gwen is GREAT at her job (Feng Shui) and gets raves from all of her clients . . . but her site doesn’t convert for @#$#.
Watch the latest Moneyfingersinc.com Copy critique as I (gently) rip Spacetransform to shreds. (The best part of the video is near the end when I start riffing on what kind of copy Gwen SHOULD have on her site.)
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’t quite converting at the levels Jay wants it to (even though the letter looks great and was written by a pro.)
In this video you’ll learn . . .
* Why your lead MUST flow naturally from your headline to keep drag your customers kicking and screaming towards the sale.
* What “Speedbump” words are . . . and how to eliminate them to make reading your copy as easy as downing a can of soda pop.
* Why doing the “pre-work” of writing your sales letter is so important. . .
And a whole bunch more. Hope you enjoy the vid (it’s a little long at 22 minutes, but there’s a lot of good content.)
While I was down in Sayulita, Mexico, I put together a short video talking about the power of ENVY for my friend and client Kevin Potts. It’s a pretty good video (and shows off the heart-stopping beauty of the place) so I figured I’d share it with you too.
I actually wrote this newsletter way back on Thursday while at the Social Media Pre-Day of Yanik Silver’s Underground 5 in DC. I meant to hop online and post it but . . . uh . . .honestly, I was just too busy meeting awesome people and having a raucously good time.
I twittered like a maniac the whole time I was there, so if you want the scoop just look at my timeline at http://www.twitter.com/chrishaddad . . .or you can search for #UG5 to hear what other folks had to say.
And noooowwww. . . . for the main event.
