Click Here, You IdiotYou know you've landed in sales doo-dah when the title is designed to shock / get attention. If you aren't 100% sure... the page design should give it away. There's no left margin or right column. Stay on track and don't get distracted. There aren't links to take you away or navigation bars to confuse you. The goal is to push you to the bottom of the page where there's a Paypal button. More about that later. STAY FOCUSED
Some visitors, hardened by years of dealing with double glazing salesmen and those door to door Save-Your-Soul merchants, can smell a sales pitch diluted down to one part in sixteen million. These visitors won't waste time so, especially for them, there's a condensed version: Want just the highlights?

You've passed the bullet point test - you read them. So you're ready for, ahem... THE TESTIMONIALSEach testimonial has to be signed ...because Vincent Van Gogh didn't print his name on his products, did he? No! He took the trouble to sign them. And, if you see a painting signed "Vincent" it would be rude and superfluous to ask for proof of ID. It is similarly reassuring to readers - and an irrefutable proof of legitimacy - to have a signature below each testimonial.
Oh, you recognise that picture? I'll try again.
And again
And again
Notice how everybody who writes a testimonial sends a passport photo for the author's convenience? And at least one testimonial is from an attractive woman? Beautiful women do that a lot - they have a disproportionate tendency to write testimonials for authors of Get Rich Quick books. They also have a strange compulsion to attach their photo to every email. Don't pause to ponder the reasons. Move on, move on, there's a product you have to get to. And a Paypal button. Want just the highlights?

page. Are you sorry? PS: The best sounding hyperbole should go here. In the PS. Is it because everybody reads the PS thinking it's the absolutely latest news? Or is it because the author's IQ is less than the temperature on a cold day in Anchorage and he put the best copy in the wrong place? The answer is, yes, it's true. It's been scientifically proven. PPS: The good news is that a good PS drags the letter out long enough for another Paypal button... without looking tacky. It also rounds off the karma. And that's good for planet Earth. And the author's planet.
