  • Getting a better return on your marketing dollar? If your current marketing campaigns are starting to sag and buckle, I can inject new life into them with a fresh new approach.
  • Launching a new product? If you have a great new product that is going to cause a sensation in the industry you want to make sure it makes a huge splash.
  • Generating more leads? Whether you want to generate more leads via print ads, direct mail or online sales letters.
  • Increasing your conversion rates by lowering the barriers to doing business? We’re great at writing copy that turns buyer objections into sales.
  • Enhancing your credibility in a skeptical marketplace? Certain industries attract skeptical consumers. If yours is one of them it’s important that your copywriting exudes credibility from every pore. That’s where I come in.
  • Pre-qualifying potential clients. Generating leads is great but what if they are all tire kickers. I write copy that qualifies prospects up front so when you speak with them on the phone or face to face, they’re already ready to buy.
  • Saving time. You’re in the business of growing your business so the last thing that you want to be spending time on is writing copy. Instead, spend your time doing what you do best and let me do what I do best, write winning copy for you.

So Much More Than Just Sizzling Copy

You Get ALL The Other Tips You Need For Your Marketing Material to Sell … At No Extra Cost.

Talk to any one of my clients and they will tell you that I’m big (really big) on delivering massive value.

Specifically, I recognize that although great copywriting is vital in producing results, I also recognize that there are a number of other copy elements that have a big impact too. And — I figure that I’d be doing you a disservice if I didn’t let you know what those elements are. With that, I always share these extra copywriting and marketing tactics with you free of charge and where appropriate, weave them into your copy. I don’t just type words into a keyboard and then hand you a plain text file and leave you to fend for yourself.

For a start, I write visually which means I don’t just supply you with plain text. I also show you which words need highlighting, where to place images, what fonts to use and give you guidance on a whole bunch of other elements that are proven to lift your responses dramatically.

All this extra advice is provided to you free of charge (please note I am not a designer and therefore don’t design or typeset your material but I provide you with tips and guidelines you can then take to your designer).

Here are just some of the things I include:

  • Obviously you get compellingly written copy all the way throughout your marketing piece.
  • You also get a strategy designed to “break through the clutter” and make your copy stand out.
  • Plus, an intoxicating offer designed to excite your prospects about buying

Apart from these things you also receive …

  • At the very least, two powerfully written headlines you can use to test so once you have used my final draft you then establish that as the control and use the alternative headline to test responses.
  • Copy formatting using the line spacing, paragraph formats, word emphasis techniques and other layout techniques that can increase readership by as much as 83%.
  • At least 5 credibility builders and as many elements of proof as we possibly can.
  • The actual headline colour proven to generate double the sales of any other.
  • Hypnotic and psychological triggers.
  • Strong call to action on the order form to increase responses even further.
  • Photography and image suggestions to maximize results.
  • Media placement and buying tips (if appropriate) to ensure your ad stands out.
  • How to sign a letter in a way that adds credibility to your message.
  • Other layout elements including borders, margins, screens, backgrounds and more.
  • Some neat tricks to draw attention to certain text including margin notes, captions, P.S. messages, highlighting and more.

Plus many of the dozens of other copywriting and marketing techniques that we feature in our copywriting courses. Plus …

FREE Personalised Action Plan (worth $470)

Once we have written the copy I also formulate a move-forward strategy which features specific action steps for you to follow to ensure you get the most from the marketing piece.

These tips may include list selection advice, PayPerClick advertising tips, automation advice, how to test economically, which technology to use, how to save money on implementation, how to convert more leads into sales and more.

What Results Can You Expect?

Obviously I can’t promise you’ll get a certain result. It’s impossible to do that. In fact, anyone who does that is telling lies. All sorts of factors (dozens of them) play a role in the results you generate. After all, I can’t control what your competitors will do. Nor can I control the economic conditions or the weather (for a start). What I can do is give you a taste of some of the results we have produced for clients in a wide variety of industries. Here are some of them …

Property investment consultancy - A series of ads, direct mail campaigns and marketing strategies that helped them earn $3.4 million in fees in 18 months (from start-up). Some of the results we achieved include: • Consistently 1200 responses to a mortgage elimination seminar ad in Melbourne. • Consistently 100 – 200 responses to a mortgage elimination seminar ad in Brisbane and consistently 600 – 850 responses to a mortgage elimination ad in Melbourne. • 5% turn up rate from a direct mail seminar invitation to a cold list. • Took them from zero to $3,400,000 in 18 months. • 40 property sales commitments made in one evening from a project specific seminar. That equates to roughly $3,200,000 in sales for one evening. • Assisted in the development of seminar presentation and hand out material that generated anywhere from 33% - 66% conversion to appointment.

Business consulting – wrote marketing collateral that attracted 26% of their client base to an event – 66% more than their best result previously (and these people were already great marketers).

Photocopiers - A 324% increase in responses for a remanufactured copier business - Our client was finding that their old ad got lost amongst the new copier ads and people didn’t understand the benefits of owning a remanufactured copier. The ad we created showed the savings and quality benefits a prospect received and as a result, generated a huge increase in calls. In January (their quietest month) they usually have to advertise heavily in other publications. With the help of the Yellow Pages advertisement we created, they didn’t need to advertise and still pulled in exceptional sales figures for that month.

Financial Institution - From 1 call to 50 on a Sunday - We created an ad in the Sunday Mail promoting a new loan product. Their previous advertising used to generate about 1 telephone call on the Sunday and then responses picked up on the Monday. The ad we created brought over 50 calls on the Sunday alone.

Insurance co. - From 8% response to 22% response just by changing the words - Our client wanted to sell more business insurance to its clients. They sent out a campaign previously with a strong offer and generated 8% on their letter. We revamped the letter and it is consistently pulling 20-22%.

Property Managers - 76% response from direct mail - We conducted market research with a client’s existing landlords to determine their future needs. To do that, we sent out a feedback form. We used a unique approach to maximise return of the feedback form. 76% of people completed and returned the form.

Mortgage Broker- A mortgage broker used one of my lead generation letters and after sending just 150 letters out, he wrote 6 deals from it and earned himself $11,000. Another broker wrote $2.8 Million in Loan Transactions from one budget flyer campaign. We have dozens more mortgage broker success stories like this one.

Marine Dealership - 200% over sales targets - One strategy and revamping of a letter generated 600 open day responses for a marine dealer. They hoped for 200.

Car Service Franchise - Doubling of annual turnover from one letter - Our client wanted to attract more business from car dealerships. They had been finding this extremely difficult in the past, and weren’t having much success. We created a letter and marketing pack which directly lead to a 100% increase in their annual turnover.

Car detailing franchise - Quality of leads improved 90% and they increased prices 10% — from a Yellow Pages ad - Our client found that most callers in the past had been tyre kickers — they’d ring around for the best price. The ad we created brought them a tremendous increase in calls and reduced their price shoppers by 90%. What’s more, these results have allowed them to increase their prices on one of their services by 10% without any reduction in business. This is amazing in a very price competitive industry.

Cleaning franchisor - $119,500 in sales from one ad - We created an ad selling cleaning franchises. It generated $119,500 in sales the first time it ran and brought two international license enquiries.

You’ll Love My Work … I Guarantee It!

I’ve been writing dollar-producing copy for over 16 years now so I am confident in my own ability to write impressive sales copy. That’s why I offer you my 1 month guarantee of delight. Remember how I said earlier that nobody can guarantee that you will achieve a certain result? That still stands true. But what I can do is put in place some parameters that minimize your risk by offering you a “delight” guarantee. Here’s how it works …

When you receive the first draft of copy, you simply review it and supply us with your feedback within 1 week of receiving the draft. I will then write any revisions needed and give you a final draft free of charge. From there, you run the copy, as-is within 1 month (if it isn’t run as-is, the guarantee is void). If when you do that, you’re not completely delighted with the results (and you’re the sole judge of that) I will write one more draft for you free of charge within 30 days of your request.

This additional re-write service is typically worth anywhere between $1000 and $3000. As you can imagine, I don’t make a habit of regularly writing thousands of dollars in copy for free just for the sake of it, so rest assured I will give your project 110% of my effort the first time around.

I’ll either make some extra changes to the existing text or I will re-write it from scratch for you so you’re happy. (After the 2nd draft, no further drafts are provided free of charge). You can’t get fairer than that. Please note, your 1 month guarantee is considered void if the final invoice isn’t paid by the due date.

Do You Qualify for the Guarantee?

I’ll be honest. These days I don’t do a lot of client work because I just don’t have the time. You see, most of my days are spent running seminars and writing copy for our own online business ventures. That’s why I only take on about 2 new projects a month. And when I do client work, I am obsessive about producing results so you’ll often find me going above and beyond the call of duty. With that, I’m rather fussy about who I take on board. So, do you qualify for the guarantee?

  • You have an existing product or service and your business is over 12 months old. As you can appreciate, we can’t offer a guarantee of delight on copy that is written for products or businesses that are untested in the marketplace.
  • If you want something that focuses on brand-building instead of direct sales, I’m not the right copywriter for you. I specialize in “salesmanship in print”. I write direct response copy that generates direct sales or direct leads. My reputation has been built on the “measurable responses” I produce.
  • You operate within the law. We are in the business of helping people help people NOT helping people rip people off so it goes without saying that if you sell anything illegal or you want me to write emails that will be used as SPAM, or if you sell positive-cash flow or high risk investment schemes I am not the copywriter for you either.
  • You communicate honestly in your marketing material. If you use false testimonials and wildly exaggerate your claims, I’m not the copywriter for you either.

If you can answer “yes” to each of these questions and you are 100% comitted to getting great results, it will be my honour to work with you. So – if our values are in alignment let’s work together to earn you more money. Your investment in our services depends on the project and we have a minimum project fee of $AU3000 no matter what size it is.

The Next Step …

The first step is for me to provide you with a written proposal so you know how much your investment in my copywriting services will be. You can do that by completing your details at the bottom of the page. Once you have accepted my proposal I ask for a 50% deposit to lock in a starting date. Next, if we are writing your copy from scratch you will be sent a comprehensive questionnaire which helps me get a good feel for your business. You’ll be asked to complete that and return it within 30 days along with a signed copywriting agreement and copies of all your marketing material.
