If you are tempted to get the Simple Writing System, why should you make the positive decision to buy the Simple Writing System 7 from John Carlton on April 1?

Well the number one reason is that better copy in the form of emails, Google ads, sales letters and video scripts will help you to make more money.
If you get the traffic or you can get the traffic but your conversion rates and sales suck, the problem lies in how you put together and present your offer.
And that means the solution to your sales conversion problem lies in having better copy.
Do the numbers.
What is your conversion rate now and what could it be if the copy was stronger?
Then multiply it by your current traffic and profit on sale and see the impact... and that's before thinking about the impact better copywriting and salesmanship can have on your future income.
I can't give you more specific reasons why you should Simple Writing System but I can tell you why I have decided to buy.
Why I Am Buying The Simple Writing System From John Carlton
At 2:00 pm Eastern on Thursday April 1, I will be on John's website, credit card in hand typing in my details to be one of the first to join the Simple Writing System. (That's 7:00 pm in the UK so John this will disturb me when I'm cooking dinner!).
Update - I bought Simple Writing System
My reasons to buy are simple.
I want and need the feedback from the professional writers to make the breakthrough I want in my writing.
John talks about kiss ass copywriting and I need my ass kicked.
I also need to be beaten around the head to knock out some of the stupid ideas holding me back.
I'm by nature quiet, shy and reserved... and that's for a Brit so you can imagine what a timid little mouse I must appear like to to the rest of the world.
I have mindset issues about the fear of hype and appearing pushy and unnatural.
I know it's dumb.
I know it's costing me money.
I know it's harming people who come into contact with me.
You see I know I give great advice and I have a vast range of knowledge. Clients see how I deeply care and how I will put in the extra yards to help them.
But it's inside me somewhere - a self limiting belief or a damaging emotion or a strategy that is twisted in my thinking and stopping me writing ballsy copy that sells.
It's quite simple.
I need the Simple Writing System and the personal interaction with a top copywriter and perhaps even John Carlton himself ( I know he is actively engaged in providing extra feedback in the classrooms).
I Already Have a Lot Of Copywriting Training
I've got other stuff from greats like John Carlton, Dan Kennedy, Gary Halbert and a host of others.
I've copied out successful sales letters and key headlines, openings, offers, bullets, guarantees, calls to action etc to imprint the stuff in my brain.
I could do more and I will do more.
But I need what the Simple Writing System is giving - a system for writing and feedback from and interaction with a top writer.

As a coach, I know coaching works.
I know how a few words or a key insight can create a huge "Aha" and frees everything else up.
I really like the idea in the Simple Writing System that I can work through it at my own speed - fast when it suits me and I've got the time and slow when it suits me or I'm under pressure from clients.
Why You Should Buy The Simple Writing System
I've opened up about why I am buying the Simple Writing System and revealed my stumbling blocks about writing compelling copy.
I believe John Carlton and his top team of writers will push me through my barriers.
If you face similar obstacles that can only be resolved with feedback from successful writers, I recommend you do the same.
I've watched the Simple Writing System launch a number of times over the last three years.
Each time I was tempted but I didn't do anything.
I regret it.
I know my "copy" if you can laughingly call it that has held me back. It has cost me money.
I don't want you to regret it too because each time John Carlton launches the Simple Writing System, he can never be sure that he will be able to offer it again.
A scarcity play? Maybe but what if this is the last time the Simple Writing System is offered?
If you are new to the idea of writing copy and you've been bowled over by the Simple Writing System Express free videos and the interaction with the writers,it makes sense to buy.
Sure you can read copywriting books (and you should), you can buy other copywriting courses (and if you are serious about writing a lot of copy you should do that as well) but there is nothing like the Simple Writing System.

Feedback On Your Copy
It's said that feedback is the breakfast of champions and I believe it.
That's why I have put together a Simple Writing System bonus if you buy through my affiliate link of a small group copywriting mastermind to meet each week by telephone.
The Simple Writing System is for eight weeks and you will get the chance to get feedback from your top copywriter.
The copywriters mastermind I set up will be a group of keen copywriting students (and practitioners as it will only appeal to action takers). It will go on for as long as the group is viable.
You can continue to get feedback on your copy, you can keep sharing ideas and you can ask extra questions of the group you will know well and trust because we all share the same purpose - we all want to write copywriting that sells.

I have created a coaching mastermind group to help me with my day job.
I am absolutely delighted with the way it is working and how the group is helping each other.
The simple fact is you are stronger when you have a loyal, committed, skilled team behind you to support you.
The Facts Behind The Simple Writing System
Stages 1 to 3 of the launch of the Simple Writing System have been the release of the three Simple Writing System Express videos.
Stage 4 is a longer video from John Carlton giving you the details of the Simple Writing System.
If you are interested in copywriting I recommend you do what I did and watch the video twice.
First for John's explanation of the Simple Writing System.
The second for how he constructed the pitch and the juicy phrases he uses to resonate with your rational mind and your emotions.
Here is the affiliate email promoting this video... John Carlton doesn't give details of his fast action, early bird bonuses but at the end he hints that there will be bonuses. John also doesn't reveal the price.
Subject: This will answer most of your questions...
Hi,
Quick note here: John Carlton is keeping the 3 free shortcut lessons of the Simple Writing System Express Course up for another couple of days.
So you still have time to dig into them, if you hurry. (The interactive teacher/visitor feedback there has been just stunning.)
And, he's also just posted a video that tells you about the SWS Coaching Program here:

You can't get into the program just yet, but this video will answer most of the questions people have about it.
There is very little time left to access the three free SWS Express shortcut lessons, though. So please hop over there now.
Sincerely,
Paul
How Much Does The Simple Writing System Cost?
John hasn't revealed the cost of the Simple Writing System yet but I can tell you the price each time it has been launched before is $1997.
Since $1,997 is still the standard price for Internet launches and a new benchmark hasn't been set, if I was a betting man, I'd assume the price will be $1997 to buy the Simple Writing System in April 2010.
Update - the price for the Simple Writing System is confirmed at $1997 (plus S&H) or a six part payment plan of $397 each month.
It is not cheap but the price is less than it would cost for an hour with John Carlton on the telephone and many of the other top copywriters won't be too far behind.
When you are a great copywriter, and you have the talent to turn words into dollars, your time is extremely valuable.
What If You Can't Afford The Simple Writing System?
If you are like me, you watch a launch and it whets your appetite and you want to know more, often much more.
If the $1,997 is too steep and you are already buried in debt or you have plenty of other copywriter programs you haven't looked at yet, you are probably best to pass the launch by.
I am confident the Simple Writing System will be great - have you seen all the testimonials - and John Carlton may not offer it again, but you'll only benefit from it if you take action. The Simple Writing System has an eight week window starting Monday April 12th.
John makes a big point of the Simple Writing System being quick to learn and you can do it at your own pace but if you didn't take advantage of the eight weeks, you would waste your money and I don't want that. (see how to control guru greed)
A lower cost version of the Simple Writing System was offered last time without the coaching / mentoring at around the $800 level. I'd expect to see a similar offer come out when the coaching places have been filled.
If that is still too rich for you, John Carlton offers a freelance copywriters course (affiliate link) which includes his Kick Ass Copywriting Secrets (affiliate link).
If even those are too much, take a look at the Simpleology copywriting course out together by two of my favourite direct marketing entrepreneurs Joe Sugarman and Ted Nicholas. The proposition is very different from the Simple Writing System but it gets you started for $1.

AS soon as the email came through, I bought my copy of the Simple Writing System. I was on the early bird list if you are wondering
how I got it before the launch time.
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense.
See you in the classrooms and hopefully you will join my little copywriters mastermind if you buy through my affilite link.

John Carlton keeps on threatening that the next Simple Writing System course could be the last one.
While this is a selling technique to get your commitment, it could also be true.
Now that I've been through the Simple Writing System process, I am amazed at how much effort the copywriting coaches and mentors putt in to help the students apply the techniques.
I've never known a course like this for pushing me to go that bit further or to engage so many other people so actively.
You can learn as much by seeing the exercises and feedback from other students as you can from your own.
It is tough writing your own copy and you can see the mistakes being made and corrected.
One word of caution.
The Simple Writing System is a lot of work since you've got to get through the training DVDs, do the exercises, perhaps rewatch the videos if you've missed the point and then redo the exercises.
Most students seem to thrive in the open learning environment and get better as they are pushed. Some didn't take full advantage which is an enormous waste.
The Simple Writing System is the only place I know where you can get feedback from such a high calibre of copywriting coaches... and "feedback is the breakfast of champions".
