What you say is true for many people. However, Robert Allen seems to have mastered long sales copy in e-mail with his "Streams of Cash E-Letter." I'm currently reading his latest book, "Multiple Streams of Internet Income." Interesting read. A lot of it will be review for many folks but there are some good points in there.

I think the main answer to your question is to test.
