> Still: do consider a rebranding of your product. The best niche to start from ... it's a sign something is wrong. Considering a rebranding is fine, agreed... but jumping to rebranding based on what a single niche (i.e., "top hackers")

"people are most motivated to write reviews when they are outraged. ...your site runs the risk of becoming a soap box for ranting." There's a great big gap between letting all your angry customers (which hopefully you don't have a lot of) l

That is excellent. Like everything Jon Stewart says.

Not being able to code will be, in 10 years, like not being able to parallel park. People will look at you like, "Really?"

I saw Scott's post and instantly thought, "Damn, I wish I'd have known about these guys back in October." Looks very cool. I love the idea of not having to worry about the various formats. That was the worst part for me... and still is, act

Thanks! The whole Copy Hackers endeavor is still going really well --- and it's super-fun. The AppSumo promo blew my mind. But nothing will ever compare to what happened on HN... probably because I feel so much gratitude toward this particu

In whose 'literary' eyes is 1984 a minor work? It's an important piece in the 20th C. literary canon. And you've completely discounted the post-modern literature of post-WWII, including Nabokov (!), DeLillo, Franzen, Morrison. Them's fighti

I agree that it shouldn't be expensive. My hubby and I did the first 4 CopyHackers ebooks for under $1000, and I'm totally sure anyone could do it for less. We paid: $700 for book cover designs on 99designs.com. $10 for the domain. $89 fo

This is totally my new go-to place when I want to try to sound like I know what my programmer friends are talking about. Now we just need a similar tool that turns everything I type into something Stephen Hawking would write/think/say, and

I had never heard that Orwell was antisemitic. That's so troubling. And here I thought it was just a writers'/philosophers' feud. :(

I love that he thought Sartre was "a bag of wind". Do any writers really, truly like other writers?

This is brilliant. It's so well done. And it really picks up from 4:00 on (although I loved the part about the discourse of class in America)... There's a sense that believing in what this video shows will turn you into a socialist... but t

I hope more people see this post. It's a valuable message. Christmas is, for some, about Jesus and, for others, about family (and, for most, I think, about both). But no one ever says Christmas is about gifts! ...But based on what I'm seein

You've got a ton of 5-star reviews (50!)... but I'm not sure what the game actually is. Can you explain how it works? Could be a great Christmas gift for the peeps on my list that don't need another pair of gloves or a magazine subscription

Sorry that Gladwell has sullied your opinion of writers... but all the good writers (emphasis on "good") I've known and currently know are insanely good at the creative process and lead the way in creative development. It's the copywriter w

The line you quoted stood out for me most. It does seem like a tall order. Does networking work better (than hiring a recruiter) when recruiting for startups? Do you come to places like HN to build relationships? It seems you'd have to win

It's true that you know exactly what the service does, zavulon... but evidently that's only half the battle. You know what it does... but you don't know WHY you need it. Nobody knows that. Because it's not written on the page; it's implied.

Someone posted a similar comment on my blog, too. I hadn't realized that "copy" was such an unknown term that it would require defining or otherwise explaining. That's my bad! I don't think it's because I'm too close to copywriting (my sist

I hope it is a great help! Checked out your site, too (I love coffee but am not much of a flyer). Maybe I can offer you some copy optimization tips in an upcoming [video] optimization session, to be posted on my blog. Free, of course. I'd b
