Yeah, those things are all true --- I know that the satisfaction guarantee can increase conversions, so that's something I consider from a marketing perspective. But I really do want people to tell me if the book doesn't meet their expectat

Someone else emailed me about this typo! So embarrassing. Will correct. Thanks for letting me know...

We actually are working on this. We're relying on PayPal's security where the credit card information comes into play. Where my site is concerned - the sales side of it with only your address taken - we are working on it.... PayPal's alread

I'm working on the replies to those emails! A few people are having troubles with the Order Confirmation email, which is where the download link is. You shouldn't have to create an account to get the download link. It should be in the Order

Oh, no! We need to get that sorted out. I don't want you to lose out on the discount! I don't want anyone to. So please, if you're ordering, do not click the 'checkout' option but rather be sure to start your 'funnel' process at the page ma

Wow, jonnathanson, you couldn't be more spot-on! That's unfortunately how I see it ---- the Fortune 500 world forgets that copy can have a huge impact on sales/signups. (On the other hand, Groupon takes writing very seriously... but I haven

Yes, bigiain is right ---- it's standard. I don't keep or store any of your personal information myself... unless you sign up for copy tips, in which case I keep your name and email address (using MailChimp).

That's a great catch, Mandar. We'll have to do some behind the scenes work to figure out how to resolve state/province issues. Apologies!!! It's required 'cos that's what the credit card companies need to process your info.

All good questions. I'm using WooCommerce theme for WordPress, which ties into PayPal, and those are required fields. We don't store any personal information... unless you choose to create an account (and then you can modify that account, t

Oh, no! We'll look into it. It's a high-class problem to have... lots of traffic jamming up the cart. :) Thanks for the heads up. Sorry to anyone who's experiencing trouble. The discount lasts a few days, so please do return - or email me,

There are copywriting agencies, definitely. Some good ones exist, and I do consult. But it seems to me that startups - those who are bootstrapping, at least - don't often have that much to spend. And it's hard to tell a good copywriter from

Oh, no! Please contact me at joanna AT copyhackers.com and we'll get that discount sorted out for you!!! In case this is a problem for anyone else, the coupon code box is on the first page of the cart/checkout, on the left side of the scree

This is brilliant! I write and work from home with my hubby, who also works from home. Couldn't be a more perfect - and true - post for us.

It is so easy to criticize. And so difficult to create -- especially to create something radically different and then put it out there for a world of non-creators to comment on.

I'm in Canada, where tipping is just as expected as it is in the US. However, here it seems that 15% is standard for good service; 10% for fair service or a buffet/brunch meal (where the server was less-involved); and 20% or more for fantas

Telling all business co-founders to go f--- themselves because a few are jackasses is like telling all the women of the world to go f--- themselves because a few broke your heart. I know you put a disclaimer at the top of your post to softe

I totally agree with erikstarck. This is actually an amazing opportunity -- when you get past the whole "being poor" thing. (Good news is that we're in a recession, so there aren't any Joneses to keep up with.) Now that you've had your cry

I agree --- people don't. And there's a wide world of people who couldn't, even if they wanted to.

I think if you ask people if they'd pay, they'll say no every time (unless you're offering to sell trips to the moon). Maybe rephrase to ask if they'd pay 0.99, 1.99, 3.99 --- or where their threshold is? And give examples of what it solves

Few enlightened, modern couples believe that the responsibility to care for a baby falls primarily on the woman. That's because men and women have babies together. Women carry babies for a 9-month term, during which time they are - in most

The article actually speaks to the fact that you can use tech to view atrocities like these that are otherwise kept hidden. No one would have evidence of North Korean concentration camps --- not with only 2 survivors in some 60 years (accor

The article (and idea) intrigued me enough that I checked lanyrd.com out... but the visual design was far too cluttered. The thumbnails threw me off. Hope it improves...

Excellent, well-formed points, raganwald.

Okay, well, for those who would rather look at the problems with the US justice & prison systems than the NK camps... what are you doing to fix things here?--anything? Or are you just deflecting so that you don't have to try to help any
