    Proof with historical examples also serves to build a notion of "safety" into your offer.
    If it's happened before, it's probably going to happen again.
    This sense of security can be borrowed to not only prove your product does something, but to prove that it's reliable. And psychology tells us that humans place an INORDINATE amount of value on reliability/predictability.
    In other words: Using historical proof raises the perceived value of the product, along with supporting a claim you've made.

      They give away a lot of good shit for free that's for sure, thats what I love about them....can just imagine what their paid stuff is like... and they make stuff (well this guy specifically) so easy to understand the way they explain and expand on points so clearly..... if I'm stuck on understanding a piece of marketing this is where I come to get clarity

    As cheesy as this may sound, I listen to "To Live Is To Die" when writing copy.
    And when I get to the "The Death" part (4:28 mark), I usually figure out the best sentence to use in the sales letter.

    • @thor6868
      @thor6868 Před rokem

      How I understand is that the "big idea" refers to the main message of the campaign, used to capture the attention of the target audience. But the "underlying idea" refers to the basic principle behind the "big idea". For example: Big Idea: "Discover the Power of SuperJuice!"; Underlying Idea: "Experience the Health Benefits of Freshly Squeezed Fruit Juice." Hopefully you understand it better now:)

    Hey Sean,
    I know you put a lot of effort into this .
    But I think it would all sink in better if you
    Atleast put them to use live, because some
    Of the words you said were unfamiliar and
    That got me less interested in the rest of
    The video.😊
