The copywriting system that makes offers feel ‘safe’ to buy.


Everyone says your offer needs to be "bold" and "compelling" to sell.

They say you need to make bigger promises, paint the transformation, and create an irresistible hook.

All of that is true.

But it’s not enough.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Nobody buys an offer that feels risky.

If people think they’ll waste their money, time, or energy — they’ll scroll past it.

Even if the promise is huge.

That’s why the "big, bold, crazy" approach only works if people feel safe buying it.

This is something I didn’t realize early on.

I had an offer that made huge promises. Big results. Big outcomes.

But...

... There was no social proof. No guarantee. No "this has worked for people like you."

It felt risky.

So people didn’t buy.

That’s when I learned one of the most important lessons in offer creation:

The safer your offer feels, the more people will buy it.

To do that, I started using a copywriting system called N.E.S.B., from Kyle Milligan.

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ New — People love new, exciting ideas. “This isn’t like everything else you’ve tried.”
2️⃣ Easy — People want big results with less effort. The easier it feels, the more likely they are to buy.
3️⃣ Safe — This is the game-changer. If people feel like they’re "taking a risk," they’ll walk away. But if it feels proven, tested, and safe, they’re all in.
4️⃣ Big — No one wants small results. If they’re going to put in the effort, they want big outcomes in return.

Most people focus on the "N", "E", and "B".
But it’s the "S" that makes people buy.

Because if it feels risky, even the "best offer in the world" will flop.

If you’re selling something right now and people seem interested but hesitant, this is probably why.

✅ They like the idea.
✅ They want the transformation.
❌ But it doesn’t feel safe enough to say yes.

The good news?

There are simple ways to remove risk from your offer and make it feel like a "guaranteed win."

I put together a quick video that walks you through it step-by-step.

You’ll see:

  • The 4 ways to make your offer feel safer (so people feel comfortable buying)
  • Why risk is the #1 sales killer (and how to remove it from your offer)
  • How to apply the full N.E.S.B. Framework to make your offer more compelling, easy, and irresistible

This is one of the simplest, fastest changes you can make to your offer.
If you only make one shift, make it this one.

A lot of the consulting and advice I give gets results not with a full rebuild, but with a couple of tweaks. If the offer is validated, but you’re struggling to sell, it’s often not a case of rebuilding from the ground up. The better approach is to tackle what is often the cause of a lack of sales. That being… People don’t feel safe buying. They’re thinking: “Will this actually work for me?” “How is this any different from the 10 other things I’ve tried?” “What if I spend the money and it’s a...

The 19-year-old “hustle bros” taking over social media have a lot to answer for. Their whole schtick of “just do more and push for the sale” is actually costing people sales. If you followed their advice, you’d probably just thing you need to add more reasons why people should buy into your offers. Things like… “Expiring soon” “Grab a discount now” “Your last chance” “Get $5,000,000 of value for only $1 today!” These things can help hoover up a couple more sales, but here’s the reality. No...
