12/ You don't actually have to finalize the deal. But you DO need the would-be customer to take some positive proactive step. "Call this number and get a free book!" is one. They give their addr and name. That's a step. That's a conversion. When someone finishes >

13/ reading your ad, or website, or whatever, they should have ZERO doubt about what the next step is. You chant your 800 phone number 5 times on the radio ad and say "call now"

14/ What should I do? Call. When should I do it? Now? Are operators standing by? Yes, they are? What was that number? 1-800-GET-FREE-CRAP !

15/ When I visit your sales page, what should I do? Click the red button that says "buy now". When should I do it? Now. Why should I do it now? Because the 50% discount ends in 32 minutes and 11 seconds.

16/ When the evangelical knocks on my door, what does he want? My name, phone number, and a promise that I'll stop by the new church for the coffee social this Saturday at 3pm. Why should I do it? Bc free coffee, free daycare, new friends, and the Grace of God When? 3pm

18/ There's a variety of folks on twitter who get the first half of the equation. I'm not subtweeting any one person here - I'm subtweeting a DOZEN people. These folks are great at creating anxiety. But what do you want? How can I make the anxiety end?

19/ The Call To Action has to be one crisp small step. Like a trigger on a good gun, it should have a crisp break. I give you my phone number. I sign your petition. SOMETHING "Go conquer Jerusalem" is NOT a crisp trigger break. It's impossible. If I could've, I would've.

20/ Look, guys. I agree with your goals. I think you're great. I want to help. TELL ME HOW TO HELP. But _DON'T_ tell me to roll a huge boulder to the top of the mountain, and DON'T tell me to reconquer Jerusalem.

21/ You don't train a dog to run across a field, jump over a rope, ring a bell, weave through poles, and come back by telling him "do that". You train each step. Small steps, each one simple.

22/ The ability to raise anxiety is necessary, but it is not sufficient. The ability to RELIEVE that anxiety, as an inducement and reward, is critical. Exeunt.

Replying to @MorlockP
I’ve already muted the words gumroad, masculinity, course, online course, and entrepreneur. not because I’m against those things, but because I’m tired of all the “entrepreneurs” spamming their scams.
