The Sales Page/Copywriting Home Study Course
How to create a system that not only converts once, but keeps clients coming back repeatedly.
Why the best sales letter in the world is simply a waste of time and money
Most people think if only they could fix their sales page—maybe tweak it just a bit—they'd be able to sell a lot more products and services
And it doesn't work that way at all. You'll find that even if you have the best sales material, those products and services aren't flying off the shelf. And there's a very good reason why that's the case. Customers mostly (yes, mostly) buy when they go through the cycle of attraction, conversion and consumption.
And here is how attraction and conversion works
Attraction and conversion are about getting clients, and selling them a product or service. And then once you're done, you can hope that those clients come back again, but you can't guarantee they'll come back. So you have to go out and find newer clients. And you have to spend time and money, and energy trying to find clients all the time to fill that darned funnel.
Back in the year 2001, that funnel was driving me bananas!
You see in the year, 2001, I was just starting out. And each month was a big mystery to me. I didn't know what to expect, and where to expect it from. And even though I was supposed to be in my own business, it was driving me crazy that I couldn't control it as much as I should. Besides I didn't want to be pushy.
I didn't want to be the sleazy salesman from hell
And that's when I discovered the power of a focused strategy. And when I applied the strategy, I stayed on target and I was doing a whole lot less selling–and customers were doing a whole lot of buying. And the more I understood this concept, the more I felt in control. And the more easily I was able to express myself, without rambling and heading off in all directions.
I found that there were ingredients
And that if I stacked up the ingredients in the right manner, and in the right quantity, I could sell more without having to look for new customers all the time. This gave me an enormous leap in income, and gave me the time I so wanted. And it's all because of these crazy ingredients.
These ingredients were like an instant noodle packet. It was easy to cook a meal because all I needed were the ingredients. And once I had them, I found that putting the ‘ingredients' together gave me immense clarity. And it enabled me to say what I wanted, instead of depending on a third party (such as a copywriter) to say it for me.
Most people will tell you, you need a good sales page on your website
Or a good direct mail letter. And here's the truth. Sales pages and direct mail letters are just one tiny piece in the entire strategy of what causes customers to buy.
What you really need is a detailed roll-out of strategy on how buying decisions are made; what causes urgency; pricing strategies; and how to get customers to not just buy, but to keep coming back.
And pre-sell
You see the mad queues for Harry Potter books? That involves pre-sell. You see the endless night watch for the next Windows or Apple launch? That's pre-sell. Every blockbuster movie is not a blockbuster just because of the stars involved. Nope, you guessed it, it's pre-sell. And pre-sell means that customers are buying long before they pay.
Yup, customers ‘buy long before they pay'
That means the customers don't waltz in, inspecting the goods and services. No, they're not doing that at all. They're in there to pay. They've already bought your product in their heads. They've gone through the stages of convincing themselves. And they'd get really mad at you if you can't sell them the products/services. And yet that happens.
You can literally run out of ‘stock'
Our Article Writing Course was oversubscribed in 24 hours. Two batches filled up in a day! Our workshops in the US and Canada were full to the brim. 70 people signed up in under a week. And amazingly, we sold over $30,000 worth of our new product on ‘Black Belt Presentations' without a sales page!
All this was achieved with no hoopla at all
No joint ventures
No endless surfboard videos on YouTube
No affiliates
No PR campaign
No advertising
No click-through PPC campaign
No Facebook/Twitter drama
(Take a deep breath :))
But that's us, what about you?'
Yeah we were in your situation. And yes, we possibly have a bigger list than you. But this isn't about the size of the list. It's about how you attract, convert and get customers to consume.
Presenting: The Copywriting Home Study Course
The Copywriting Live Course where you learn exactly what causes customers to buy.
But it's not just another blah-blah seminar. It covers intense learning about what causes customers to hesitate. How customers are driven to the want factor. And how you need to engineer sales around a pre-determined sequence of steps you have to take to make sure that customers are eager to buy–even when times are tough.
And this factor of Copywriting invariably teaches you to put words down on paper. To have control over those words. And know where to start. And where to stop. And why your customer is going to buy. And why that customer is keen to buy right now.
Most businesses concentrate on attraction.
Yet, it's consumption that creates the most profit, both in the short term as well as the long term. Learning how to use technology and psychology to create the trio of attraction, conversion and consumption in repeating cycles is what will get you an unending stream of clients, as well a steadily increasing profit.
The reason why business strategies fail is because of a lack of understanding of the trio called attraction, conversion and consumption.
Consumption is really simple to understand. It's about ‘eating' what you've ordered. So if you are ‘attracted' to a restaurant, ‘conversion' takes place when you order a meal. But ‘consumption' doesn't kick in, till you actually eat the meal. And in business, many customers may order a meal, but never eat it (e.g. don't you have books you've bought but never read?)
In order for clients to keep coming back to your ‘restaurant', and keep eating the ‘meals' on a regular basis, you need to have a powerful strategy in place.
A strategy that guarantees the return of the customer. That will not only get the customer back, but over time, the customer will buy more from you, and buy at higher prices. But how do you create a system that's simple, elegant as well as effective?
The Copywriting Course Is Engineered To Do The Following:
You learn exactly what causes customers to buy. It covers intense learning about what causes customers to hesitate. How customers are driven to the want factor. And how you need to engineer sales around a pre-determined sequence of steps you have to take to make sure that customers are eager to buy–even when times are tough.
And this factor of Attversumption invariably teaches you to put words down on paper. To have control over those words. And know where to start. And where to stop. And why your customer is going to buy. And why that customer is keen to buy right now.
- Improve your persuasiveness.
- Reduce the frustration of never getting past the first line.
- Create a strategy that is so captivating that customers buy from you (in good times and in bad).
How does the copywriting home study help?
Good question.
The Attversumption MasterClass HomeStudy teaches you the foundation; the bedrock of what makes a great attraction, conversion and consumption strategy tick. You'll learn the simple, yet extremely powerful secret that goes back thousands of years, which enables you to turn your business into a virtual magnet. Without this strategy, most products and services struggle to succeed, simply because they fail to rollout the sequence. The magic is not in the ‘single moment', it's in the sequence.
What's amazing is that you can take this understanding of the sequence, and once you put the ingredients together, you start moving up into the realm of top strategists.
Me, a strategist? You must be joking!
Most of the top marketing strategists in the world didn't start out writing that way. Because strategy is over-hyped. It's made out to be this deep, magical skill, when in fact it's not. If you want to market your business, you'll need to know what causes customers to buy.
The essence of this training is in the understanding of what's happening in the customer's brain. Once you understand these core factors, and how they're placed in a page, or an ad, or in a strategy, you'll never be the same again. Why? Because you'll have learned that this so-called-witchcraft is really a matter of understanding.
And the home study is specifically designed to make sure you not only absorb the information, but also get immense confidence.

“You know, before I took Sean's class, I was doing pretty well. I'd been selling out my classes for the last year and half, and my business was growing steadily. Why did I sign up?
Well, I still felt like I was stumbling around a bit every time I went to write a new webpage or email- I was using a template, but not really understanding it. Plus, I had recently published a book, and the product sales felt like they were a fraction of what they could be. Even so, I wasn't completely convinced.
I hesitated so much and yet I learned a ton. I finally understood all the pieces of what made Sales Letters successful. And, I completely rewrote my product sales page based on what I learned, and Sean's feedback.
Last month, I beat my sales goals of that page by 50%, and by the time I was six days into February, I had already sold a third of my January total. The results I got from this, and Sean's seemingly inexhaustible knowledge (I hope you don't mind me saying it, Sean, but you are a bit of a madman in the content department), convinced me to sign up for the Protege Program.”
And then in a follow up email, Mark wrote:
“Last month, I beat my sales goals again, by 50%.
And I'm amazed how the ingredients have almost nothing to do with copy itself-plus I've learned how to segregate lists, and stop annoying clients and speak only to clients who are interested and not just about everyone.
I've nearly sold out two classes and that's something that has never happened before. That's worth $11,000 to me.
And anybody who wants to make it (their business) work needs to take this class.”

“I know that we have great products, and we have solid results and wonderful testimonials, but I couldn't figure out how to put the pieces together so that there's a “picture” that someone would actually purchase.”
I know the technical side of the website pretty well, so I can work my way around it. And I'm pretty good at writing, but what I don't know is how to lay everything out, so that I get the end result that I want. And that end result is that someone clicks on our registration button.
I know that we have great products, and we have solid results and wonderful testimonials, but I couldn't figure out how to put the pieces together so that there's a “picture” that someone would actually purchase.
I have a very small group of highly committed fans and I have a whole bunch of people that don't even know our products and services exist. And they could really benefit from it. I know how to market to the people that I know but I don't know how to market to the people I don't know.
The course has helped me understand how I need to layout everything on the landing page, then when people do come to us, and find us, then they'll take that next step, which could be to buy the book, or attend the workshop or whatever that next step happens to be.

“I know we have a great product and service, but getting new clients– apart from referrals– was not quite working for us.”
Surely it wasn’t just “poor copy”. Well your course has opened my eyes up to a whole new way of doing business, not just writing copy. This is a Strategic Framework that guarantees success.
Sean you are a genius. A Leonardo di Vinci of your trade. Your unique blend of humour, analysis and emotion meant I couldn’t wait till our next session during the programme.
It’s rare to find an individual who can combine “the art” and “science” of business in such an entertaining and engaging manner.
I’ve had several takeaways, but primarily :
1. Getting into the brain “the mindset” of our potential customers.
2. The importance of structure, measurement and causality in every part of our business, especially our marketing.
