That's great! Since you got a sale in two days from the time you got the board up and made the offer, I'm assuming you had the course already done. If you don't mind, when you have a minute, how about popping over to my new "Guerrilla Product Development Forum" and tell us how you did it. The board is at www.netguerrilla.org/wwwboard/wwwboard.html

I noticed you're using a take off on one of the greatest headlines of all time. The original was "Do You Make These Mistakes in English?" and it was written by Max Sackheim for an ad that ran for something like 30 years. I like it when someone pays attention to the old masters.

I do have one suggestion. If I were you, I would take the "Do You Make..." subhead and make it the headline. I would make the "How to Avoid..." headline the subhead. The reason Mr. Sackheim's original headline worked so well was the curiosity factor. When people saw that headline, they would think, "Huh? What mistakes?", and be drawn into the boady copy which was the idea. You want the same thing to happen here.

Also, I'm going to e-mail you. I have an idea for a JV that might work.
