Re: I'm a 20-year veteran of Corporate Entertainment and I'm Spilling My Brain

I just signed up for Barry's "Free" online course, and I have to say , "Wow!"
Thank you Barry for putting out such a valuable resource. So far I've only received the first lesson, and it's packed full of useful information.

I'm certainly no newbie to the business of magic or marketing, but I will be using the info on the first lesson as a guideline for my next demo video. The info is dead on!

As far as the long form sales letter is concerned. I love it! The reason is, if I'm interested in the offer I'm going to read every word of it, and I will re-read it several times to see if it's really for me. If I'm not interested in the offer, I will click away.

In either case, this long form letter only speaks to the people that are interested.

It's funny to hear that your formula is the same as everyone else's when 95% of the products sold are sold the same way. With short copy. Only about 5% of products are sold with long form letters, so you are actually in the minority.

One thing is certain, the long form letter got me to subscribe to the free course, and for that I'm grateful. I'm very much looking forward to the next six lessons.

Respectfully,

Lou Serrano

Wasn't that at the beginning of the Superman TV show after truth and justice?

Good one John ! You punny, punny guy.....

disclaimer : for those who have trouble spelling (and I have seen a few here that do ), that is punny, as in pun+ funny = punny, not to be confused with puny, as in small...

A bit of ego-surfing led me to this thread which is many years old. As my peace offering to so many that put hours into commenting and decided not to opt in for the 7-Day Free Course, I give you the links.

The course has been running for 3.5 years. Over 250 entertainers have gone through it.

If you want to continue after the free 7-day course it's $37/month.

With the links below the 7-day course is truly free - not even your email address is necessary.

I hope you get something out of it.

PS... A few years ago I lost the long-form sales letter and conversion rate didn't change. Seems split about 50/50 like long-form vs. video.

Testimonials?

After that amount of time I am sure most of your students will have put into practise what they have learned from you and you can provide some white papers or case studies proving the efficacy of your methods?

Tons of them... But I'm not here to sell anything.

Good luck.
