Rule 19 Watch What DirectResponse Advertisers Are Doing and Plagiarize

When you see a direct-response ad that runs ‘again and again and again’, you know there is something important about that advertisement.

It's making a profit for the advertiser. It's working.

Whenever you see an ad like that, study it. Pull it apart. Figure out what the advertiser is doing. Find out the techniques that he is using?

It makes no difference what this advertiser is selling. It works even better if it's something totally unrelated to your business. If you steal something this advertiser is doing that works, he won't object. You aren't competing with him.

Dozens of highly-paid copywriters are working with direct-response advertisers who are spending millions of dollars testing different ways of selling. You can access a lot of this expensive information for free by studying what they do that works.

Remember: only direct response advertisers (and retailers) know whether their ads work or not. Other advertisers may run pretty ads, compelling ads, attractive ads, etc. They can spend thousands of dollars in research to gain an approximate measure of the impact their ads are having.

Only direct-response advertisers can count the sales. The market tells them its opinion of the ad immediately. In the only coin that counts: cash.

Re: Herbert Elwood Gilliland III: I Invented YouTube - [quote:3vele9ih] 1. Herbert's public declarations may get a response from YouTube or Google, but it's very unlikely they will get the response he wants or will like. I do not think this tactic is in his best interests. [/quote:3vele9ih] My friends and colleagues want me to raise awareness of this. As for a response: I expect none from them other than the court documents that have already been filed. Also, Ringo posted this here, not me. And besides: as of today, 2010, 5 years after the incident which I brought before the courts, the media won't touch my story, nor even report on my case because they are partnered with Google. [quote:3vele9ih] - If a person has a legitimate claim and can produce credible evidence to support the claim, then the issue should be given to a qualified legal representative to work through and to provide counsel to the individual. [/quote:3vele9ih] Not with Rule 11. Please read my blog for more information on the "blow to civil rights" that is FRCP Rule 11 in the US. They wouldn't let me get evidence to support my claim. The rule stopped the process of discovery from happening. [quote:3vele9ih] - If the above qualifications apply (legitimate claim; credible evidence), then the issue should not be laid upon the public. I do not see the purpose or value in doing that. [/quote:3vele9ih] In the U.S. it is the purpose of civil litigation to use the public to determine matters when privately people can't work it out. That is what we were trying to do with our case. Unfortunately, those civil liberties have been eroded by the partnership between big business and government. [quote:3vele9ih] THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. I have not taken the time to review the available details to know how legitimate and credible Herbert's claim is. [/quote:3vele9ih] No offense to you, sir, as I'm sure you are "busy", but why share an opinion if you haven't understood, fully, the situation? Kind regards, -h
