I think Deanna is quite a special girl. She's beautiful, talented and she's got pedigree. Is she related to Ken or to Blanchard and Company? I think, at the current moment, I won't be able to create a copy as good as hers, but I beg to disagree that the copy above is a good template. I also don't think that it will pull a lot of orders. Of course, most experts make mistakes when choosing the control and I'm not even one. If you believe in it, why not test it and let the market decide. It will be a great learning experience for your newbies and to us, your readers, i.e., if you care to share the results with us. Anyway, I do hope that I did not offend Deanna with my remarks. I believe that she will be quite a good copywriter, if she will not succumb to arrogance. Dave Dave Hi Clayton!

It will be a great learning experience for your newbies and to us, your readers, i.e., if you care to share the results with us.

Anyway, I do hope that I did not offend Deanna with my remarks. I believe that she will be quite a good copywriter, if she will not succumb to arrogance.

If you're willing to dig, and learn, and use common sense... if you're grounded in the principles of writing compelling copy... you CAN do it. Thanks for the valuable lesson, Clayton. And thank you, Deanna, for proving the lesson true.   Man, I always thought you needed either an MBA, or years upon years of securities experience under your belt before you could even begin to take a crack at writing sales copy for financial newsletters and such.

I'm just starting with this. To me, it was a total knockout, it got my fears about what the economy is doing up there. Great job, Deanna! Bob Wow, Clayton,
