That’s the kind of
thorough research and
analysis it takes to
pick stocks that can
double, triple, or
even quadruple your
money in short order!
Notice what master copywriters
do. They get into the minds and hearts
of their prospects and figure out
what their prospects want more than
anything else; then they find ways to
promise the prospect exactly what he
is looking for.
Then, to enhance this process,
they throw in as much credibility and
vivid imagery as possible. This reveals
another insight about greed. People are
much more likely to go after what they
can see themselves experiencing in
their mind’s eye. That’s why painting
detailed, alluring, vivid mental
pictures — indeed creating “cities of
desire” as copywriting legend Gene
Schwartz once said — is a sure-fire
way to magnify the power and action
capacity of your prospect’s greed
MANY times over!
In fact, here’s an example of
emotional and greed-driven copy from
Gene himself:
Yes! In the next two
minutes I’m going
to show you how you
can get up to 20
MORE HORSEPOWER from
your car … how you
can save enough gas
in a single year to
drive A FULL THOUSAND
MILES … how you can
eliminate most of the
ignition knocks and
pings that are driving
you crazy right now
… how you can get
battery-saving, surefire
starting even in
below-freezing weather
— and do it without
buying one single
complicated gadget
— without paying a
mechanic a penny!
SIMPLY BY CHANGING
YOUR OLD SPARK PLUGS
—WITHOUT PAYING ONE
PENNY MORE THAN YOU’D
PAY TODAY FOR ANY
ORDINARY SET OF PLUGS.
Notice the word picture above
isn’t elaborate, but the use of specific
details (such as knocks and pings)
bring images to the reader’s mind and
enhance his experience of the desired
benefits.
And now you know: Using the
words below in conjunction with
vivid, seductive mental imagery …
plus maximum credibility … will kick
your prospect’s greed glands into high
gear, to the point where he’s ready to
act.
