Excellent job.

I appreciate the thought (though I don’t want to represent it) that people might consider my copy to be less than truthful. I am a person who tries very hard to always tell the truth, so I never think of myself as someone who cannot be trusted.

Your article helps me to remember that even though I AM telling the truth, I can’t forget to see my copy from the reader’s point of view and to back it up with the “proof” they need to feel good about what I have written and to act on it.

Well done. I tip my hat.

(pause) ….OK, that’s a lie…I’m not wearing a hat.

Dang it!

I think conclusion is quite important and after that your call to action should be like cherry on cake.

It should be well noted and well covered everything. If you have seen horror movie or detective movie they create such kind of surroundings which make it more scary.

So similarly in our field as well … we need this kind of surroundings and well tight things.

Definitely good advice that one can also apply to their marketing and advertising. Substantiate all claims. Whack the cliches. Close all loopholes.

@sherice Now that I know I’m a liar. Teach me how to come clean as a service provider selling social media strategy services. The examples in this post are product based. Give me some service related examples so I can clean up my lieing act?

Personally, I wouldn’t touch Pepsi or Coca Cola with a barge pole, as they’re both made from carbonic acid + coloring + flavoring + artificial sweetening. I’d rather not put my health at risk.
My three adult children seldom drank the stuff in childhood and never drink it now; and none have ever suffered dental decay.
I’d be interested in a scientific evaluation of Coke and Pepsi’s health benefits (or lack thereof) compared to H2O.
