BASIC
PREMISES
1 Writing winning sales copy is not hard.It also
doesn’t take a long time.
Instead, it’s all about the process.
2 Most of us overcomplicate
things dramatically.

RESEARCH
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR…
CURIOSITY
• Has Someone Tried to Solve the Market’s Pain Points Before In A Very
Unique Way?
• What Was The Result?
• Is There A Conspiratorial Story Behind Why Old Solutions Didn’t Work?
• Are There Any Older Attempts to Solve the Problem (Pre-1960) That Are
Unique?
• What Happened? Were they successful but forgotten? Or were they a
failure? Why?

Examples
1. Tesla in the energy space. Big energy didn’t want his solutions, he was
discredited and shamed. His inventions and discoveries were thrown into
the ash heap of history until now.
2. U.S. Army tried to cure foot fungus during WWII, surgeon general was on a
desperate race because troops were missing service time. Finally succeeded
by using Undecylenic Acid. But today we forget how effective it is.
CORRUPTION
• Is There A Belief That the Market’s Pain Point Used To Not Exist, Or Used
To Not Be So Bad?
• Is There A Belief That It’s Been Recently Exacerbated By Outside Forces?
• If So, What Are Those Forces And What’s The Reason Behind Their
Presence?
Examples
Obesity and diabetes being the result of Dr. Ancil Keyes.

WHERE TO FIND
THE ANSWERS TO YOUR
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Forums/Reddit
Look for replies vs. views.
Why? On a post, if lots of people view it that’s great, and there may be
interest. But when there are a ton of REPLIES, it means people are really
passionate, interested, and engaged.
Pay attention to the posts with the most engagement. Not interested in a
ton of “likes.” Only semi-interested in a ton of “shares.” Really interested in
a ton of comments and arguments.
Amazon.Com
No surprise here of course.
But perfect for looking at similar products on the market, and reading
?
reviews of them too. This works for both indirectly compete products, and
direct competitors.

UNIQUE
MECHANISM
I. IN A NUTSHELL:
The unique mechanism explains why our prospect is struggling or
suffering to achieve a goal…
By showing the unique mechanism behind the problem, you get the
prospect to understand why they’ve failed in the past.
By showing the unique mechanism behind the solution, you get the
prospect to believe that our product will bring them success where other
alternatives have failed.
Stefan Georgi 9
Materials MODULE 1
Typically by the time our prospect comes to us, they’ve tried numerous
solutions to their problem already. In the past, these other solutions may
have not worked at all, worked partially, or worked fully for a period of time
(before they stopped working).
Our job as a copywriter is to educate our prospect about the REAL reason
why past solutions didn’t bring them permanent results. We do this by
explaining that their knowledge about the problem is incomplete. They’ve
been missing ONE CRUCIAL PIECE OF INFORMATION, and this “knowledge
gap” is what’s been holding them back.

UNIQUE MECHANISM
EXAMPLE:
OLIVE OIL OF THE MONTH CLUB
https://www.freshpressedoliveoil.com/c/APMG041_Q218/tj
It’s at its peak of nutritional perfection and flavor immediately after it’s
pressed! Olives, after all, are a fruit, and olive oil is a fruit juice. Just as
with any other fruit juice, it’s most delicious when fresh-pressed, and that’s
when you want to enjoy it.
But virtually none of the fresh-pressed olive oil from Italy—or any other great
olive-growing country—ever makes it to our shores. The reason is because
shipping by air is prohibitively expensive. As a result, virtually all the olive
oils sent to the U.S. travel here by molasses-slow cargo ship. Adding insult to
injury, many oils are shipped months—maybe even a year!—after pressing.
There are flavor-sapping delays at every port of call on its long ocean voyage,
while sitting at anchor in the harbor waiting for customs inspections and
FDA approval before admittance. Then there are further delays at the docks,
in trucking transport, and in warehouses before eventual distribution to
local stores. Then these oils may sit yet additional weeks, months, or even
years on shelves under fluorescent lights, which also destroy flavor and
precious, perishable nutrients.
Stefan Georgi 11
Materials MODULE 1
And now you know why the producers of ordinary olive oils seldom if ever
print a “Harvest” date (sometimes also called the “Pressing” date) on their
labels. Sure, they will print a “Best Used By” date,” but not the harvest date. I
suspect they want to extend shelf life as long as possible. They realize that
savvy olive oil lovers prize freshness above all else, and they don’t want
to give you any hint as to how old and stale their oils may be after their
torturously slow journey from overseas to your shopping cart.
Stefan Georgi 12
Materials MODULE 1
Our Club’s demanding reputation precedes me, and I usually find myself
being treated like a visiting raja. The region’s top artisanal producers vie with
one another to bring me dozens of their finest fresh-pressed oils to make me
smile with pleasure. From these, I choose the three brightest, most flavorful
oils. Then I race my newfound treasures at the peak of their harvest-flavor
and nutritional goodness to the U.S. by jet plane, and then right to your front
door by rush delivery. The result is that, as a Club member, you get to enjoy
what only a tiny handful of Americans ever get to experience—true fresh-
pressed olive oil and all its amazing taste and health benefits, rushed to you
straight from the latest harvest.

3. So by reversing the pain points/biggest fears, what is the one big promise
(1-3 sentences) you are going to make… how will this change their lives
forever?
They’re going to see why they’ve been misled about Olive Oil in the past, and
discover the TRUTH about Olive Oil, so that they experience the freshest,
best tasting, most aromatic olive oil they’ve ever had.
4. What solutions for the reader’s problem(s) exist already (and why aren’t
they working for them)?
Stefan Georgi 17
Materials MODULE 1
All of the other olive oil brands out there. But none of them have a “made
on” date, they are shipped slowly, and they sit around for months before
you ever buy them. The truth is that olives are fruit, and they’re best when
consumed fresh.
5. What’s the new claim/root cause/surprising info? And how does this new
solution we’re offering them work?
(Think about it as if they had 99% of the solution already, but you’re sharing
that missing 1%...the easy but unexpected REAL REASON, or REAL SECRET
to their success).
Olive oil, unlike wine, does not improve with time. Just the opposite! It’s at
its peak of nutritional perfection and flavor immediately after it’s pressed!
Olives, after all, are a fruit, and olive oil is a fruit juice. Just as with any other
fruit juice, it’s most delicious when fresh-pressed, and that’s when you want
to enjoy it.
But virtually none of the fresh-pressed olive oil from Italy—or any other great
olive-growing country—ever makes it to our shores. The reason is because
shipping by air is prohibitively expensive. As a result, virtually all the olive
oils sent to the U.S. travel here by molasses-slow cargo ship. Adding insult to
injury, many oils are shipped months—maybe even a year!—after pressing.
There are flavor-sapping delays at every port of call on its long ocean voyage,
while sitting at anchor in the harbor waiting for customs inspections and
FDA approval before admittance. Then there are further delays at the docks,
in trucking transport, and in warehouses before eventual distribution to
local stores. Then these oils may sit yet additional weeks, months, or even
years on shelves under fluorescent lights, which also destroy flavor and
precious, perishable nutrients.

Long story short, that’s how I founded the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club.
I realized that if I were willing to break with the tradition of shipping
olive oil by slow cargo ship and instead rush it to America by jet, direct
from the new harvest of each olive-growing country, I could be the first
to bring authentic fresh-pressed oil to foodies here in America all year
round!

6. Paradoxical Question:
We all know that when it comes to fruit juice, the fresher the better.
Olives are a fruit, so why don’t we worry about how fresh our olive oil is?
7. Metaphor:
Mostly it’s used here in relation to all of the language describing the
experience of having this olive oil.
8. Bold Claim
(What’s the huge promise about the results they’re going to get using this
product/solution?):
You’ll receive only the finest, freshest olive oils in the world, with zero
obligations or risk.
Long story short, that’s how I founded the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club. I

If you’ll pay just $1 to help cover my shipping costs, I’ll send you a
