Hates... The argument isn't really about "long copy". What you need to do is display all the benefits your product offers, show how YOUR web apps are different, exploit your USP and tell the world about it... and debunk all objections. That

Yep, exactly. It all depends on what gives you the highest conversions. It's really as simple as that.

EXACTLY :)

They're not being "replaced"... but video letters typically do help conversions. And yes, great ideas about mixing it up. That's the KEY to all of this. You don't know exactly what will work best - the answer lies in testing it out! :)

Jeremy - great point. MOST people wouldn't throw it away if it was a good letter, and you would make a lot more sales. The only people who would throw it away are those with very limited minds... who I wouldn't want as my customer anyway! ;

Well it's great that you admit you might be wrong. 99% of people are so limited in their thinking that the thought of being wrong wouldn't even cross their minds :) That being said, always understand that in marketing - it's not about YOU.

I hate to tell you, but it DOES make it true. Because I personally deal with back and neck pain (fell out of a 25 ft. tree)... have personally used his products... and they personally gave ME relief. I don't promote crappy products. I perso

Here's an idea. Work on getting a more positive outlook on life in general. It'll get you very far :)

1 thing I noticed is that the longer version is REALLY cramped and a lot harder to read than the short version. I'd suggest making a lot more white space in the longer version for easier reading. The shorter version also has a headline, the

Thanks for the comment. Yea it's hard not to generalize since it's only 1 article, ya know? I tried being as specific as possible without turning it into a 30 page article :) And yes, you're absolutely right... and hit on something most peo

No offense taken. I'm actually personally re-doing the order form on the 1 example so it looks more "clean". The design doesn't matter though. "Pretty" doesn't sell. Trust me on that one. What sells is understanding your customer, having a

Perfectly said Paras. It's all about knowing your market, giving them something they're familiar with, and then BEING INTERESTING :)

Actually... it's the EXACT opposite of that. Think about it. Who is going to read a 10... 20... 30 page letter. Someone one the lower half of the bell curve who can hardly string a sentence together, or someone who likes to read and is ther

You seem to read a lot of BAD salesletters written by lousy copywriters. And THAT is where the difference is. In my letters, my claims are backed up with proof. The testimonials are of people you can call on the phone. And I personally use

FANTASTIC comment! :) Believe it or not, I DON'T only do long-form salesletters so I don't divide myself into a "long-form-only" camp. Typically what I do is figure out what the client needs... assess the market/product,etc... and do 1 or t

I don't think it's biased at all. I do agree that long form tends to do better for information products. However, it also does better in 90% of cases, as well. As I mentioned in the post... it does NOT do better in EVERY single case. You're
