Some readers of Daily Marketing Ace have opted to subscribe to get “best of” tips sent to them via email. On the “thank you” page that subscribers see after opting-in there is an opportunity to download a free audio course about writing sales letters. The audio is called “Million Dollar Copy Secrets.”
I haven’t been tracking downloads of this “thank you gift” until now, but I’d really like to assess the value of this gift. To me, the audio provides a great overview of the general structure, goals, and methods for creating a good sales letter.
But my opinion doesn’t really count, so I’ve made this post to request feedback from email subscribers. I’ve added an invitation for feedback to an autoresponder, so all new subscribers from today forward will be asked to come here and add their comments below.
Honestly, I don’t even know if new subscribers will take the time to provide feedback, but I hope so!
If you subscribed, downloaded the audio, and listened to it, please provide your feedback below.
If you subscribed and did not download or listen to the audio, please tell me why.
Thanks!

I didnt download the million dollar copy secrets because I wasn’t given a url page to download it. Just a page to say I was now subscribed
People are also comfortable in giving feedback if they are asked to send a testimonial that shall also be published in your site. Another way is to give an incentive by sharing that feedback.
Million Dollar Copy Secrets download is a great product and well put together. It is packed with alot of information and easy to follow and understand - this audio portrays professionalism and confidence.
@tim I emailed you a link after you posted your comment, I hope you got the audio this time
@janette I agree, many people will respond if asked, but incentives can help
@carlT Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful! And also thanks for sharing your feedback.
Hey Doug,
I “thought” I downloaded it. I guess I just listened without saving it - my bad - Please send me another link. I will do better next time;-)
Actually, I listened twice, the second time taking notes. As I spent 17 years as a technical writer with P&G, (the marketing biggie), and many more years as an independent writer, you can take my interest as an A+ grade. Specifically;
*** the importance of an attention grabbing headline,
*** how and why to use feature benefit selling *** how to build the momentum in the content portion are GREAT!
After the second listen I immediately went to a few “make money” Websites, (probably why I forgot to save the file), and measured them against your yardstick. Some, including yours, hit it dead on. Some almost got it right and the vast majority of others - Well, they really need to listen to your audio.
I hope to be able to share your information with others.
Send more audios. I am too lazy to read ;-))
Actually, at this point, I’m not sure I downloaded or listened to it. I’m still not convinced that all this PLR stuff is worth reading.
I am, however, starting to get the feeling that it is worthwhile at a means to start building a list. Otherwise I’ve only bought a very few items so far.
It’s also hard to do control my ‘web curiousity’ to the point where I follow up on the projects that I tell myself I should undertake. In other words, I’m too spread out to pay attention to anything.
Yeah…not a good habit to have but at least I recognize it.

I believe that I saw an offer for “Deconstructing the iMOS” after signing up for DMA… which looks really cool BTW.
I was crunched for time so I saved the link so that I could go back in review it later.
Of course, I’d be happy to review Million Dollar Copy Secrets if you care to send the link my way.
All the Best,
Joan
I’m not certain if your commenter Tim and I were part of a split-test, but I didn’t get a link either. I simply got a notification that I was subscribed.
All,
We’ve done a dismal job in managing this part of this project.
Please accept my apologies. We have several signup pages and some were delivering the bonus, and others weren’t.
We actually discontinued the bonus a while back, but didn’t clean up our email series appropriately.
The problem is now being corrected. We’ve added some staff so DMA can get the attention it deserves.
Content was job one — we felt it needed an upgrade — that has been completed. We’ve now got a good process in place to deliver great tips on an ongoing basis.
Next, we are working on the opt-in process, it’s a bit confusing and not working very well. (This series of comments is ample evidence of that).
Anyway, thanks for leaving your comments and I apologize for the lack of attention here.
Thanks,
Doug
