nobody taught you this and that's why your CTAs keep flopping...
hey fellow buddies, Just like last time i m back with some new value and i think beginners really need this. feels like a cheat code to me btw. Anyways, so today i was just scrolling through the community (which i usually don't) and i saw someone asking for help saying their CTAs are not converting and they needed help. and honestly, as i expected, the comments were the usual stuff: "add urgency" "tell them what happens if they don't buy" "be more specific" like look i'm not saying those are wrong. For SOME people, that works. But the guy asking already probably saw the same advice on three different YouTube videos before posting here. So today i'm going to give you something different. Something that actually works at a level most people here haven't touched yet. i call it Apples to Oranges.(and it's the origional name btw) and before you say you've heard this name somewhere, yeah Alex Hormozi talks about it too. and before him, Claude Hopkins, one of the original godfathers of advertising, was doing the same thing back when he was writing copy that literally moved products from unknown to number one in their market. So it's not some YouTube guru stuff. A man who got paid the equivalent of millions a year just to write ads in the 1900s. So what is it. most people when they write a CTA or frame their offer, they compare their product to a similar product. which is basically APPLES to APPLES. "our supplements have XYZ and the other brands don't" "we're better than competitor A because of this" and the reader's brain goes... okay so which brand do i pick?. now i have to research and compare and think. you just created work for them! or even worse, people throw in fake urgency: "only 25 spots!" "window is closing!" "you'll never see this price again!" and the reader has seen that line 47 times this week and they just scroll past it. so here's what Apples to Oranges actually means. instead of comparing your product to a similar product, you compare it to something completely different.
