A lesson in copywriting...?

Hi Dien,

Gordon has also done a wonderful job of "selling himself". People respect him. They know he's not out to scam them. They know he's been successful. And he's "given enough away" in the past that they know his ideas work.

That sort of personal credibility goes a long way (with me, anyways because I don't know most of the people he listed) towards people jumping at an offer they KNOW is GOOD becomes it comes from someone who's PROVEN himself and is TRUSTWORTHY.

There's a lesson here we all could learn - sell yourself BEFORE you try to sell your products!
