But because the first sentence does NOT give the reader a compelling
reason to keep reading.
And if your reader doesn’t see a reason to keep reading, how the hell
can you get him to pay for what you’re selling?
Listen:
The way you start your sales message can make or break your
marketing campaign....
Actually, it can mean the difference between 2 miserable sales in one
month and….
Once you get your headline right, you want to make damn sure you
give your sales letter the strongest possible start so your reader is
forced to keep reading.
If your headline is powerful, and your sales letter has a weak opening,
you are leaving a lot of money on the table.
After getting attention with your headline, you need to give your
reader a reason to believe reading your letter is worth their time.
The first, and by far the most popular and sometimes, most effective,
is to start by making a BIG bold promise of transformation.
Example:
Dear friend
NB: Take a look at your product, what’s the biggest possible promise
you can make to your reader?
****
Next
Example:
Dear reader:
The story you're about to read will make you angry.. and
rightly so….
Doctors have been lying about it for years and journalists who should
be telling you the truth have been paid to keep their mouths shut.
Next.
Start by saying something that goes against the status quo or what the
majority believe to be true
Example:
Dear friend,
Here's why:
****
Next.
Dear reader,
*****
Next.
Example:
Dear friend,
********
And finally:
Example:
Dear reader,
Have you ever wondered what your woman says behind your
back?
What you're about to read will truly open your eyes to a dark secret
99% of men will never discover.... and forever alter the way you think
about women and sex.*
NB: Is there an intriguing question you can ask your reader to hold his
attention and keep him interested in reading your copy?***
It is extremely important that you tie it in with the rest of your sales
letter so it makes sense to your reader.
Gently,
Never hurried,
Until, eventually....
She sees your irresistible offer and embraces it like she would a long
lost friend.
Got it?

Your sales message will be 10x more powerful and profitable when at
first, it doesn’t seem like you’re trying to sell anything.
Two
Mostly, if your sales message is over 2,000 words, your lead will be the
first 300-800 words of your sales message.
Please note:
The lead is by far the most important aspect of your letter and here's
why:
Now, of course...
It is not enough to have a great lead, your sales letter has to have all
the other components of a great sales letter too:
● A BIG Idea
● A Unique mechanism
● Emotional triggers
● An irresistible offer
● A powerful close that forces the reader to act now (The less
desperate you sound in your close, the higher your conversion
rate will be)
That is all.
Stay frosty.
