Does design matter?


How important is design for you?

As in, you see two ads...

  • One is well designed
  • The other is a basic Canva template

... which one do you click on?

And when you get to the sales page, do you prefer...

  • A basic design that doesn't have that high-end veneer
  • Something that looks swish and has obviously had a pro make sure it's pixel-perfect

Which one of these approaches will build more trust with you?

It's a genuine question I have and I'd love it if you hit reply to let me know.

Why am I asking?

Well, for years I've been the guy who does way more just by getting it to "good enough" status.

I can knock up sales pages, ads, or emails in minutes when others take days.

I'm still a believer that a good offer and well crafted copy is all you need.

But I was curious to see if spending some extra time on my assets to make them look "premium" would affect sales.

So, last week I spent a lot of time zhuzhiung up the sales material for the $1 PC.

I redesigned...

  • The sales page to look a little more put together
  • The VSL to include a real script, background music, and B-roll
  • The ads that lead to the sales page

You can check out the new sales page here.

The whole process was to see if me taking a little bit longer on the sales element would really make that much of a difference...

Or if I should continue to just throw up as many new offers as possible and focus on the offer itself and the copy.

Data will prove out which one works better.

but I'm curious what your gut reaction to this kind of thing is.

Does great design make you trust an offer more and get you to open your wallet?

Or is "good enough", good enough to get you to spend?

This is it. Write Yourself Rich closes tonight at 10pm Eastern. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, thinking, “I’ll do it next round…” I dunno if there will be a "next round" of this. Which means... No more live coaching.No more access.No more chance to work with Chris directly for 8 weeks. After tonight, the doors shut and you’re back to figuring it out on your own, the same complexity, same grind, same guesswork. Here’s what you’re missing if you don’t join... A simple, proven system that...

There’s probably way too many courses out there promising to “fix your bizniz.” You’ve probably bought a few (I know I have). But most of them give you videos and templates… and then leave you to figure it all out on your own. Chris's Write Yourself Rich ain't that. When you join Write Yourself Rich, you will get the usual DIY course elements we all know. The kind of stuff you can consume in your own time to understand WHY something works. Which is still pretty damn useful. But honestly,...

I'm gonna start this off with a big ol' caveat. I like AI, I use it everyday. I build AI agents to help others. But there are some things I refuse to outsource to the various AI Petes I've built. One of those is these daily emails. And here's why. First off, these things only take me about 10-15 minutes to write. And AI honestly take sme longer. I prompt it. it writes. But the angle is slightly wrong. So I re prompt it. The angle now is closer. But the tone is wrong. So I re prompt it. And...
