“[Large Number] of [Certain Types of People/Niche Members] Will [Try to Get Some Benefit]. Very Few Succeed.
Will You Be One of the Lucky Ones?”
Everyone Who’s Ever [Gotten a Specific Benefit] Know These [Type of] Secrets. And Now You Can Discover Them Too…
Dear [Niche Member/Friend],
It’s depressing, isn’t it?
Even though [large number] of [types of people] will start [trying to get a benefit] this year, very few will succeed.
Some people will [describe how some will get a little success]. A few others will enjoy [describe another success]. But nearly everyone else will [describe how this group will fail].
Maybe it’s even happened to you already. You start to [try to get a specific benefit], but you end up [getting undesirable result] instead. Or perhaps you [try to obtain another benefit or result], but [describe how this turns out poorly too].
It’s frustrating. It’s humiliating. It’s exhausting. And sometimes it feels like no matter [how much time you spend/how many times you try/what you do], you’re just never going to [get a specific benefit].
Listen, if you’ve ever felt like this, let just reassure you that you’re not the only one. And let me also tell you that it’s not your fault if you’ve [tried and failed before].
You see, the reason why you [can’t get a desirable result] is because [describe why people fail – e.g., the teachers are giving bad information, the product isn’t designed for you, etc]. I mean think about it: [give further elaboration on why it’s not the prospect’s fault]. After all…

even if [you don’t have some special skill, knowledge, experience or possession]!

[Niche topic]: No one wants to think about it, but it truly is the elephant in the room. And that elephant is only going to get bigger and harder to ignore as [some specific thing happens to the prospect].

Give it a try – I think you’ll be amazed at how much time and money you save with these templates!
Drew,
Nice content, but I think it is a bit long for a sales letter. Might be better for a VSL, My take on business owners today, they won’t take the time to read a long letter, email or post. I find short and sweet works best, at least for the initial 5 or so contacts?
However, they will watch a video or VSL. This is a great star for that.
Thanks for the feedback Walt. Its all about testing and data. Don’t assume anything. Test multiple options and run with the best one. Make that your control and then test against that.
Thank you very much
