Review
Writing
sales letters is a pain to many marketers. Not that they
can’t write. The problem is just to find that mixture of
templates, headlines, salutations, openings, body copy, bullet
lists, closes etc. that will bring the maximum amount of
orders.
Some
time ago Yanik Silver, well known author of “Instant
Internet Profits” and “How To Make Instant Sales And
Immediate Profits Using Cheap Fax Advertising”, wrote and
published a complete package called “Instant Sales
Letters”. The promise in Yanik’s sales letter for this
package is that, by using it, you’ll be able to create your
own sales letters for almost any imaginable offer.
I
openly admit that I was somewhat sceptical at first. After all,
several other such packages have already been published, but
they just contained some out of date and more or less useless
stuff that couldn’t be used in my particular situation. So
my question was: “How does Yanik’s new package, “Instant
Sales Letters” fare?”
Surprisingly
well, in my estimation. Actually I like this package so much
that I’ll definitely consult it whenever I’m writing sales
letters in the future.
You
know, maybe you’re sitting there writing hundreds of
openings to your letter, but still feeling that you haven’t
found the winner.
What
do you do?
One
good answer is to consult this package where Yanik Silver has
given you a lot of examples of openings that have been highly
successful in real life. Openings that has proven their worth
in real life. Now you can take these openings (or what ever
you’re looking for in your sales letter) from “Instant
Sales Letters” and add them to your own sales letter. And if
you adjust Yanik’s templates a bit, probably no one will
ever notice that you’ve used his examples and templates.
The
beauty of “Instant Sales Letters” is not so much the
number of sales letter ingredients and templates you’ll find
here. No, in my opinion it’s the QUALITY of the content in
Yanik’s package that makes this into such a valuable and
useful resource.
When
I went through this information, it soon became evident that
Yanik really is a master copy writer. His sales letters have
what it takes to move your customers to place an order. At
least, that’s my opinion of Yanik’s letters.
With
this package, Yanik has also included several very valuable
bonuses.
First
of all you get "Surefire Sales Letter Secrets",
which is Yanik’s guide to Direct Mail profits. In this
manual, Yanik shares how to succeed in Direct Mail by creating
a hot offer, writing hot sales copy, choosing the right list
of prospects, delivering your mail piece, testing it,
maximising your profits etc. All in all, you get a
comprehensive and complete introduction to Direct Mail profits
through this fine fifty page manual by Yanik Silver.
As
a bonus section to "Surefire Sales Letter Secrets",
Yanik has added a very good, though short, five page chapter
on how to use endorsements and Joint Ventures to multiple your
profits many times over.
Secondly
you get a lot of "Fill-in-the-blank Email Templates".
You may chose to use them as they are, or not. But you should
definitely be able to benefit from them and at least use parts
of them in your e-mail correspondence. They’ll save you a
lot of time.
The
third bonus is Yanik’s "Ultimate Sales Letter Tool Box"
which a huge collection of openings, bullets, selling words,
phrases, copy-connectors, guarantees, closes and P.S.s. I
found this bonus to be extremely valuable when writing your
sales letter.
Even
though "Ultimate Sales Letter Tool Box" is a really
helpful tool for writing sales letters, I have two small
criticisms, or maybe you could call it suggestions for
improvements.
My
first criticism is that Yanik hasn’t made it possible for
the read to mark and copy the text, which would have made it
much easier to use when you’re creating your own sales
letter. But this doesn’t change the fact that this is a very
valuable tool, which is worth the cost of the complete package.
It would just have made it easier for you to use it, if this
function had been made available.
Secondly,
I miss some headline examples in "Ultimate Sales Letter
Tool Box". Yanik does shortly cover the subject of
headlines. But it would it would have been helpful if you got
some template headlines that you could use for your sales
letters, just like the other letter ingredients in this book.
Again,
don’t take this to be a serious criticism in any way. The
"Ultimate Sales Letter Tool Box" is a highly useful
book in my opinion. I just think that it could be improved on
these two points.
Yanik
has also included two very helpful worksheets as bonuses to
his “Instant Sales Letters”. These can be very helpful
when you’re calculating the effectiveness of your sales
campaigns.
As
a final bonus to “Instant Sales Letters”, I also got
Yanik’s reprint of an old, almost forgotten book, called
“How To Write Letters That Win”. I’d already bought this
helpful book through master copywriter Carl Galletti several
years ago, but for a much higher price. Don’t take this to
mean that I’m complaining, but now that Yanik Silver is
offering it as a free bonus, he has created very, very
valuable package which is worth much, much more than the
$39.97 it costs at the time of this writing.
Summary
This package is a steal!
And
considering that Yanik only charges $39.97 (good at the time
of this writing) I would strongly recommend you to invest in
this package if you want to write order-pulling sales letters.
Even if you don’t want to use the templates, as they are,
you’ll get inspired when you read them. Besides, Yanik has
enclosed some fantastic bonuses along with this package. Yanik
could easily have charged $39.97 for each of these bonuses.
Believe
me, this package is really worth it’s price. Go and get it
now! You won’t regret it.
