If you are like me, you want whatever you write to be interesting. You want to capture people's attention, and have them desire what you are selling, or just to be interested in whatever story you are telling.
If you read this book you will learn how to make average writing fascinating, and eye opening examples, including a summary of the hypnotic phrases used throughout the book. I found chapters 45 and 46 particularly interesting.
In order to really learn when your brain is being engaged by good copy or good writing, you have to pay close attention to what you are reading, and notice when your state is changing. This takes some practice. How much is one good idea worth?
As a trainer of NLP, what I find lacking in this book is that he does not show how to use embedded commands when writing, which really would give the book many times its cover price. He uses many techniques he does not explain. Nor does he extensively list the vocabulary used by advertisers. Nevertheless, I did learn many things.
I will be referring to this book time and again. The more often I read this book the more useful it seems, and I seem to pick up something new each time. It doesn't matter to me if you get this book or not, or if you like Joe Vitale or not.
A friend of mine is working on her own website, so I gave her a copy of this book, which she now tells me she has gone through several times. Having never written copy before, she finds it very valuable.
I do not like some of the tactics he uses in his book, linking it to other products and services, yet I do not allow my like or dislike for someone to stand in the way of whether I can get benefit from a book.
I hope you find this review helpful.
