    Hey everyone,
    I have been silently reading the forums and have learnt much from you all.

    I have a blog about self improvement that I have built up to nearly 2000 readers over the last 12 months and I have spent the last 3 months creating a book relevant to my blog.

    The book is a guide to help people overcome their fears, limiting beliefs and personal obstacles to get the life they dream of living.

    This is my first product I made and it is my first sales letter.
    I would love some feedback/reviews.
    (I still need to add testimonials which I am waiting on)

    http://www.upgradereality.net

    I appreciate all feedback!
    Thanks in advance
    Diggy

    this is not a knock to you personally. ALMOST EVERYONE OF YOUR SENTENCES START WITH I

    THE PERSON WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME? --- they only care a little bit about you---- 80% them and 20% you-----it must start with them or they will stop reading-----never make it start like an autobiography

    IF IT IS A SALES PAGE (or even an article, if must follow the 100 year old proven rules (5) and in the correct order

    1. ATTENTION -- A REAL KICKOUT TITLE IN RED
    2. INTEREST ----- PICK ONE OF THE 8 PRIMARY EMOTIONS
    3. CONVICTION-----CONVINCE THEM A PROBLEM EXISTS
    4. DESIRE ---------SHOW THEM YOU CAN SOLVE THAT EMOTIONAL VOID
    5.CLOSE---------YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM TO BUY NOW, OR INTRODUCTORY PRICE, OR LIMITED EDITION
