What are we going to talk about? About taking the opposite position, going against, challenging an established belief, but I&#8217;ll explain further down.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start from a hypothetical case to make it all more entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine your product is a training course, on whatever you like; it hardly matters.  <strong>For example, an entrepreneurship course.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>What are your competitors saying to sell their courses?<\/h3>\n<p>Things like these:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u00b7&nbsp;It will help you reach your goals and achieve success<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u00b7 We believe everyone has what it takes to start a business<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u00b7&nbsp;Turn your idea into a business model<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u00b7&nbsp;All backed by top experts who have succeeded as entrepreneurs<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u00b7&nbsp;A passion for entrepreneurship and the will to get started.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u00b7&nbsp;By the end of this course, you&#8217;ll no longer be one of the millions of &#8220;wantrepreneurs&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t make these messages up; I found them with a simple Google search <em>(which is what I recommend you always do)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Now then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think your customer, who will be looking at alternatives, won&#8217;t have seen those messages? Or similar ones?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Of course they will have!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>So don&#8217;t tell them the same thing; it&#8217;s no use.<\/h3>\n<p>If those messages were effective, those people wouldn&#8217;t be comparing alternatives; they&#8217;d have already bought, don&#8217;t you think?<\/p>\n<p>Try something different, another approach that sets you apart from the rest.  <strong>How?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Address the customer&#8217;s real fears.<\/strong> Deep down, the customer for this training knows those messages are generic and are only there to convince them to buy. Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/\">link<\/a> with tips for using your copy correctly. They want your money and tell you what you want to hear. Nothing new under the sun: customers aren&#8217;t stupid. They want to buy, not to be sold something they&#8217;re not interested in. Find out how to <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/blog\/2020\/10\/27\/how-to-apply-copywriting-in-bulk-emails-to-increase-their-effectiveness\/\">apply copywriting to bulk emails<\/a> to make them more effective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In that case, take the opposite position:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box\">\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-title\">Copy example: the intro<\/div>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-text\">If you have a business idea you want to launch, in 99% of cases it will be a copy of something that already exists. Established competitors, with more money than you, will eat you alive and force you to close within a couple of years.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>See, this is no longer a line out of a Mr Wonderful notebook (a Spanish brand of feel-good stationery).&nbsp;<strong>It&#8217;s reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box\">\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-title\">Now let&#8217;s continue:<\/div>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-text\">You may have been told that if you want it really, really badly, and I mean really badly, you&#8217;ll make your dream come true, no doubt about it. Yes, by wanting it really badly. If you only want it a little, no.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the next step, we try to <strong>poke a little fun at the competition&#8217;s offer<\/strong>. This should help bring the customer&#8217;s doubts to the surface. Doubts they already had, but that will be even stronger when they see them presented here and made fun of.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we don&#8217;t want to discourage them completely, so now comes the resolution:<\/p>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box\">\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-title\">First part of the resolution copy<\/div>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-text\">&#8220;We don&#8217;t believe in any of that, because we know the real reason most new entrepreneurs fail:<\/p>\n<p>1) They don&#8217;t know how to analyze the market and its real situation<\/p>\n<p>2) They don&#8217;t know how to analyze their competitors<\/p>\n<p>3) And they don&#8217;t know how to create features that set them apart from the competition&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>First, we need to get them to understand the real reason entrepreneurs fail<\/strong>. They need this knowledge to understand what sets us apart and what we&#8217;re really offering them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which comes here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box\">\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-title\">Final part of the copy<\/div>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-text\">That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve created a module in our course that will let you properly analyze your business idea.<\/p>\n<p>Find out whether it&#8217;s viable or not and, importantly, if it isn&#8217;t viable, we&#8217;ll teach you how to change it, pivot, and choose a business model that makes it completely different.<\/p>\n<p>Or find another idea before it makes you lose money!<\/p>\n<p>Do we guarantee success? Not at all; this is business.&nbsp;No one can guarantee you success, unless they want to lie to you.<\/p>\n<p>What we do promise is that we&#8217;ll prepare you for the reality you&#8217;ll face. Which is no small thing, and it&#8217;s already more than others will do for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>We show what sets us apart,&nbsp;this part is important, we gain credibility (we don&#8217;t guarantee success because that&#8217;s not possible) and we reinforce the message (we prepare you for reality).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, you can have a message that isn&#8217;t identical to your competitors&#8217;, even in a saturated industry.
