I am currently working on an E-Book and was wondering if there are any tips, guidelines or templates anyone knows of for writing sales copy so I can get the page together

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Michael Rasmussen has a good free course on setting it all up. I have a video summary here:

C.J.,

Start with a compelling headline, and build your copy around that. Your headline should lead directly into your opening paragraph. You can build your copy from there. You're probably going to get a lot of different advice from a lot of people. It's probably going to confuse you.

As not to unnecessarily confuse you any further, I've included a link to a very basic article by Randy Hall titled "Writing Your Own Sales Letter":

I hope it helps. Best of luck to you!

By the way, Lynn, good move on the switch to VBulletin. Your site looks great! It is definitely much more user friendly. I'll be building my new website with VBulletin also.

Thank you - I'm LOVING it. It was a huge transition after 6+ years and 10,000 members with almost 100k posts... but definitely worth it!
