The Cost Of A Sale

There have been lots of heated forum discussions around the topic of continuity. The vast majority of people who participate in these discussions are keen to express their distaste of the continuity model as if it’s something completely new.

Copy The Copy

This is one of those topics that can often be the cause of a heated debate. However, let me give you my take on just where writing the sales copy fits into the product creation process.
I’ve tried two alternative strategies and, while both strategies worked, the one which really paid off was a winner by [...]
