How to make money with stories (Part 5)...


The most profitable way to make money with stories is...

...writing sales pages.

Here's the deal...

2 months ago, I asked a friend of mine about their course launch.

The friend sadly said:

"Everyone else just launched products. The market is so competitive. My launch was just at bad timing...

...People replied that they just bought courses and aren't ready to buy mine."

Have you ever felt this?

You never get the results you expected for your hard work.

...and it always seems like it's bad timing?

You're not alone. I've been there too.

It sucks right? Nope.

'Cause timing can be used to your advantage. Let me explain...

I peaked at my friend's sales page and saw something was missing...

...What was it?

You guessed it.

A story.

The truth about sales pages without stories? They're just noise.

And that brings us to Part 5 of how to make money with stories.

You see stories move past the conscious brain. That's why you need to learn how to tell stories.

Let's dive deeper...

When you think about buying something. The conscious brain holds the objections or the "no". The conscious brain is what tells you "Hey man, you just dropped $500 on a course last week. You can't afford that stuff..."

The story karate chops the conscious brain and tells subconscious to pull out the 'ol wallet. If my friend had a story on their sales page, they could've easily destroyed any objections.

It gets better.

I charge $5,000 to write sales pages.

So if you can write stories on sales pages that convert, not only will you make more money for your products...

...You can charge other people a boatload as well.

That's just one way to make the big bucks story style.

Anyway...

Millions of sales pages clutter the internet. But few convert well and destroy objections. Learn how to use storytelling to grab attention and never let go...

  2. The heroes journey
  3. Vivid details (sitting in the back of a beat up Honda Civic)
  4. Sensory details (the air smelt like rain and trouble)...
  5. Humor (That is until the universe decided to give me a serious wet willy that altered my life forever. )
  6. Breaking expectations (The mailbox belonged to a police officer.)
  7. Zeitgeist (prison or the grave)
  8. Hook (I’ll explain why this common advice could actually REVERSE your progress (like it did mine).)
  9. The guide (I stumbled upon "The 4-Hour Work Week.")
  10. Similes (blowing thousands on useless courses and “gurus” like Johnny Depp on a bender in Vegas. )
  11. Relate. (You know the final destination but were scammed by countless internet imposters?)

Most people think great marketing is about persuasion, great offers, or the latest AI tools. But they're wrong. I’ll explain… On July 26th, 2023, I was drooling on my keyboard at 9pm, in my lucky SpongeBob pajamas (don’t judge!)...But the SpongeBob outfit isn't the crazy part. The crazy part is that this was the first sales email I’d ever sent. Here's what happened... Half-asleep, I wrote what might be the world's most unconventional sales email. In fact, it was my first sales email ever, a...

I never read LinkedIn content. But when I do, it’s to laugh at the Claude slop with selfies of people who think that’s the best way to grow a business. I just rotate my Twitter content to LinkedIn to show people that I’m alive. And use Sales Navigator for outreach. The funny part is that even with 20,000 followers, my posts yield like 100–200 impressions. Which I guess is LinkedIn’s funny way of telling me how unimportant I am. Until… I logged on to do my usual ego-enhancement exercise of...
