Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 6:07 amPosted: Sat Oct 02, 2004 8:13 amWhat about Joe Vitale? Anybody a fan of his works? I only bought one of his ebook which is hypnotic selling stories and I think it's great. He talks about using selling stories instead of the direct sales pitch you often see to influence the prospect to buy your product wihout looking or sounding like an ad.

All the copywriters mentioned are excellent-
I've been doing a lot of web copywriting lately, for my projects and others, and I've gotten really interested in the science behind the writing.
To really understand the nuts and bolts of the psychology of copywriting, a good place to start is "Influence," by Robert Cialdini. It's a great introduction to "why people do what they do, and how to make them do what you want them to do." As copywriters, that's our job.
If you really want to "get under the hood" of copywriting, and the psychology of Influence, Cialdini has co-authored several college textbooks that go into much finer detail. They can be snagged at half.com reasonably cheaply.

Posted: Mon Oct 04, 2004 1:19 amHow to apply the 'click and whirr' effect on people eh guys. Claude C Hopkins said that the competent advertising man must understand psychology. The more he knows about it the better. And Robert Cialdini's "Influence" is a great way to learn the secrets of "jujitsu marketing" 
Btw thanks for the feedback on Joe Vitale Lynn. I'm thinking of getting his Amazing Writing Software. Anyone has any experience using it and whether it's worth the $99?

And where did you get this Manual, Lynny?
I need to write a sales page for my second book and could use all the help I can get!

Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 11:35 amThat's for the hypnotic writing software, yes - just click on it and you can check it out 
I got the manual as part of a limited time promotion & review request. A lucky break!! LOL I am not sure if you can still get it, but I would recommend listening in to the (Tue) to find out what he'll be offering. If it includes the Manual - I would highly recommend it.
