I would like to order 10 $19 5,000 word landing pages.
Per your guarantee, I will need these converting at 10% or higher on whatever traffic I decide to throw at them.
Once that happens I will pay.
The topic of ebooks aside, do you know why the guy you ripped that off of had a #1 on Clickbank?
1. He actually knew what he was talking about. I'm not saying all CB sellers do, but in this case he did.
2. That $19 you charge? Put 3 "0's" behind that, and you're still not close to what he paid for his copy.
Why can't you sell? Your offer sucks, you have no proof, you ripped off the ideas from other people, you're obviously a lying fake/fraud and I'll be nice and leave it at that.
Nothing says "I'm a lying piece of shit who's never sold anything online" like a signature that says "I'll work for 40+ hours for $20".
Nobody's buying marketing advice, nor do they want help with their marketing, from an admitted liar who places less value on their time than the fry salter at McDonald's.
"This dude's gotta be pulling like $2 an hour, I bet he has a lot to teach".
Look up positioning bro.
The way all of your shit looks right now you give the impression of a guy who couldn't sell free coke at a hooker party.

I'll tell you why... it's because you should stop trying and go back to making a meaningful career doing something productive.
Stop fucking around trying to make money online by telling others how to make money online, even though you've never made money online.
You clearly don't have a flair for this, otherwise you would already have had some success, and be asking "how can you scale it", not "why isn't it working."
Give up now.
Seriously. I'm sorry to kill your unicorn, bro, but the sooner you face up to it, the sooner you can get on with your life.

That one post probably holds more value than your entire ebook.
Fuck, maybe you should read it.
or...
Take this advice...

Heh. Sometimes you gotta tell it straight, dawg.
I'm getting utterly fucked off with this "anyone can run an internet business" crap that results in people like OP putting out piles of bullshit and wondering why people keep telling him it stinks.
The irony is just too thick. You mercilessly poke fun at your audience for their lack of knowledge and skill then excrete a giant turd of a sales page.
it's because your sales page is a piece of shit and your video isn't even a video. if you were smart you wouldn't have worried as much about copying the content and you would have copied the sales process of the original marketer instead. too may bad things to list here, but basically (as sales pages go) your page looks straight outta 2006.
You can sell a RETARDED disabled Donkey for the price of a STALLION if your sales copy is good

I've never had a problem selling thems that aren't mine through a landing page. It seems a lot harder when you're selling an info product. The real problem with my copy is the earnings statement. I could fake one of those but I'm not going to do it.
1. Earn a ton of money online
2. Post genuine earnings statement
3. ????
4. PROFIT!
Actually, I think it's more like:
1. Post a fake earnings statement
2. Earn a ton of money
3. Earn a real earnings statement
4. Say you made that money in a different way
5. PROFIT
Dude, you've just come to a marketing forum where at least some of the people have the faintest idea what they're talking about.
They all proceed to tell you that your copy sucks.
You don't seem convinced.
Let me add to the chorus: as someone who gets paid several orders of magnitude more than $19 to write copy and build marketing campaigns for other people, here is my professional opinion:
Your copy is beyond atrocious. It reads like you've just chopped up a bunch of other bad sales letters, having once read a blog on copywriting that you half-remember.
Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean here (well, maybe just a little). I'm trying to give you some tough love.
Let me give you some detail:
1. A good headline is about 50% of an ad's success. Good copywriters (myself included) often spend several hours on the headline alone. Why? Because if the headline doesn't interest them, they won't read the rest.
What makes a good headline, you ask? It needs to make the reader think "wow. I must find out more about this."
Your headline does not do this. At best, it makes me think "So what?"
2. Next in the line of importance is a clear offer. Before I will give you money for something, it's not unreasonable that I should understand exactly what it is I am buying. Having looked through your site, I get something vague about 15 marketing methods, and a bunch of identical (and useless) looking bonuses. Beyond that, I'm baffled.
3. In copywriting, we have invented these clever little things called "benefits".
They're generally accepted to be important in a sales letter, because our selfish prospects have the temerity to ask "what, exactly, will your product do for me, kind sir?" before getting their wallets out.
I suggest you look them up, because from reading your sales page, it appears you've never heard of them.
4. Finally, people buying info products online aren't terrible trusting these days (I wonder why?). They have the tricky tendency to demand at least some proof that what you're saying is true.
You have none.
There are many more holes I could pick, but I'm bored of looking at it now.
I'm writing this more for my own drunken entertainment than the hope that you'll pay attention, because your mind seems made up that there's nothing wrong with your copy.
If that's the case, I have only one more recommendation. Spend some time looking up "the Dunning-Kruger effect."
disclaimer: there are probably grammar and spelling mistakes in the above piece. See my comment about "drunken entertainment."
The fact that you value your time at less than $5 an hour says a lot about your knowledge.
And I'm not being insulting.
It's more like...
1. Educate yourself, everyday.
2. Risk everything and lose it all. Fail and fail and fail again.
3. Fail enough to find something that works, scale.
4. Gain knowledge, experience, know-how.
5. Bust your ass. Work hard. Learn what it takes to make money.
I have dozens of clients. Most aren't in the "IM" niche, but all do well and never had to lie in the process.

Think he's full of shit? See any fake earnings shots? Think that $5k DVD course sells? Hint: I own it, so do many copywriters I know.
Look at this sales letter...
The Copywriting Grab Bag
Without knowing the author, is there any doubt from reading the copy alone that he knows his shit? No. Because he's authentic, and while there are some big claims made he's not bullshitting anyone.
This business isn't about lies/fraud/manipulation. Those are tools for people who are too lazy to educate themselves.
Educate yourself.

If you want to work for slave wages the rest of your life keep doing what you're doing, ask to be paid slave wages. You get what you ask for.
Not insulting, I'm seriously trying to get you thinking...
...I know high school kids who charge 5x what you're charging for basic content. You seriously need to change your worldview on the entire direct response (aff marketing falls under that) industry.
EDIT: Double "wake the fuck up I'm trying to help" advice given simultaneously. We're not being dicks. Posted at the same time, may be a hint that the advice may be worth listening to.

^ +rep to both.
OP - you are surprisingly getting fantastic advice. None of which it seems you'll take, however I know others will benefit.
You have a wafo account doubling your posts/threads there with the same shit - further proving you're diluting yourself for silly sig bait.
Also - you're pitching copywriting, while totally riding a wave of fail - press the reset button start allllll over.

Calling your "own" product stupid kinda says it all on how much you're invested in.
Now the bright orange background is hurting my eyes literally, do think that through.
Look at some WSO's or CB product landing pages, most of them have a picture of the author.
As for the long sales letters are they still in fashion? This might rock your marketing world but why not give away something for free in exchange for their email address. Build up a sales funnel.
