So last week, I wrote an article about persuasion and copywriting
that was very well received, judging from the comments left where
it's posted here on the StomperBlog.

In that article, I talked about the *devastating* One-Two Combo
of using EMOTION to sell your prospect on your offer, and using
LOGIC to provide justification for their emotional decision to buy
whatever it is that you're selling.

Now, I just kind of wrote that off the top of my head, but I asked
if you guys wanted more content along those lines.  The
overwhelming response was "YES" - so I've been noodling
ideas for a follow-up since last week.

While I'm brainstorming, lo and behold, I get an email from
Mr. Mark Joyner, sending me a link to this video.  Now, Mark knows
his stuff when it comes to copywriting.

His book "The Irresistible Offer" is one of my favorites.  I have a
print copy that I keep near my desk and I thumb through it literally
every time I need to write sales copy.

But that video isn't about Mark.  He's not even in it.  Instead, it's
Part 1 of a presentation by the LEGENDARY Joe Sugarman.  If
you don't recognize that name, it's time to brush up on your direct
marketing fundamentals.

Joe is the author of "Triggers" and "Advertising Secrets of the
Written Word" - he's the guy behind the multi-million selling
"Blu-Blocker" sunglasses.

And in that video, he's going to tell you a number of stories about
Batman, credit cards, sunglasses (of course), and more - covering
a 12 year span of his career getting his hands dirty in the direct
marketing game.

It's great.  Joe's a wonderful, warm, and funny speaker - and his
stories are just *classic*.

I couldn't resist - I opted in on Mark's page to be able to see
part 2.  I didn't even read what I was signing up for.  I just had
to know how Joe's stories ended.

And BANG!  Does it ever have an *amazing* ending.

SPOILER ALERT:

You know how at the end of "Fight Club", you find out that
Edward Norton's character IS Tyler Durden?

Or in "The Usual Suspects" you find out that Kevin Spacey's
character IS Keyser Soze?

Well - I'm not going to give away the ending of Joe's presentation,
but you do get to find out who he REALLY is…

… a marketing GENIUS.

Now, in those two videos, not only does Joe demonstrate some
EXTREMELY powerful "triggers", but he uses the very same
principle I taught you last week.  In fact, he states it outright at
34:27 into video 2.  It's kind of a crazy coincidence (I promise it
wasn't planned that way)!

So if you want to see LAST week's example in action, used by
a MASTER salesman, (along with at least a DOZEN other killer
marketing lessons) you need to watch ALL of video 1, and sign
up so you can watch ALL of video 2.

Now, as I mentioned, I DO have a follow-up copywriting lesson
for you.   But it's going to talk a lot about what we can learn from
Joe's video, so you need to watch it first.  Consider it a
pre-requisite.

And even though the videos are free, they are MEATY.  It'll take
you like an hour and a half to watch them both.

Because of that, I'll follow up with the next copywriting lesson
*tomorrow* so you can have time to watch Joe's videos *today*.

Now, I told you I went ahead and signed up for the 2nd video
without even READING what I was signing up FOR.  I couldn't
help it.  I was compelled.  It's THAT good.

But I know I can't send you over there and tell you to sign up
without knowing the full scoop, so here it is.

You're going to be put on the reminder list for a LIVE webinar
with Mark Joyner, featuring Joe Sugarman himself, as well as
Ted Nicholas.  (Ted is one of Joe's most successful students
and between the two of them, they've sold BILLIONS.)

That webinar is tomorrow - Wednesday, October 8th at 8PM Eastern -
and you're going to learn Direct Response Copywriting from two
of the MASTERS of the form.  I'm signed up on it, and I plan on
being there.

But even if you CAN'T make the call, you still need to sign up,
and NOT just for the 2nd Sugarman video (though like I said,
it's reason enough).

Mark has also thrown in a FREE downloadable copy of "The
Irresistible Offer" - the very same book that I have a printed
copy of on my desk.  This book is a *classic* and you need
to have it in your library, so you may as well get it now (for
free) while you're watching Joe's video anyway.

Like I said, it's going to take an hour and a half to watch both
videos, so I'm not going to take any more of your time today.
Go watch it now and get a free copy of Mark's book while you're
there.  I know you're going to love it.  I sure did.

Tomorrow, I'm going to follow up with another copywriting lesson
based on my notes from the video.

Until next time,
Keep Stomping.

P.S. I'd love to hear what YOU think about the videos after you
watch them.  If you're as excited by Joe's cleverness as I was,
let us know what YOU think.
