today REALLY caught my eye. It's got one feature that puts it WAY over the top
of the rest.

When Your Lucky List (http://www.yourluckylist.com/splash/cash.php/widesweep)
came out, it was new, fresh, and exciting. With their weekly random list build,
every member with any downline at all was guaranteed the CHANCE to mail to a
list at least three times the size of their own every week. How? They shuffle
the list every week and randomly assign extra contacts to each member's list.
The number of members you receive in their weekly random matrix build varies
each time. Sometimes tiny. Sometimes a pretty healthy chunk of contact
addresses.

I thought YLL was pretty darned cool, and I've been using it for months. Now
thee is a list builder that goes even further.

"the secret" to my success in internet marketing. One guy says I need to build
a HUGE subscriber list. Another says its all about HIS specialized, unique,

Vacation."  You either loved it or hated it, depending upon whether you thought
summer was fun and whether you liked writing.

If you didn't have a "summer vacation," you were either honest enough to talk
about days hangin' out with your siblings and cousins or you pretended you went
somewhere and wrote deftly about your fantasy getaway.  Either way, though, the
essay accomplished its purpose.  It gave each child a chance to speak up--a
chance to talk about something other than school--and it basically "purged" the
child of uncontrollable need to talk about things that had nothing to do with
classroom study--at least for a while.

I see debates from time to time on what is the most important element of your
copy. For me there is no debate.

It has to be your headline.

Why? Because it doesn't matter how great your offer is, how compelling the body
copy is, or what a bargain your price is. If you have a lousy headline, no one
will read further to discover the other stuff.

There are some other reasons as well...
