POPCORN CONTENT

THE CRAFT OF WRITING SHORT-FORM
CONTENT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA

I am writing this post because I read a REQ thread here:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-Any-...-form-copy

I'm not sure this will help Sh4dey but if you are looking for help with writing short-form copy or content for social media ads, lead copy for websites and more, then I hope what I have here will help.

A few people on the REQ thread recommended Ben Settle without giving any more details about a specific title. I can suggest Nick Usborne and I'm sharing some of his resources with you below...

ABOUT THE SHARE

From Amazon.com:

How come some people and companies do so well with social media, while others don’t? Well, some have the advantage of celebrity, which helps them from day one. But what about people who are unknown, but still manage to create huge followings on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and elsewhere?

A big part of their secret lies in the fact that they know how to write Popcorn Content. Popcorn Content is the short-form text you write when adding a tweet to your Twitter stream, writing the first sentence of a Facebook update, creating a title for a YouTube video or writing a headline you want people to read on Reddit.

This is a new and exacting writing skill. You have very few words to work with, but you still need to be able to hook your readers. And once you have people’s attention, you need to strike just the right balance between being entertaining, intriguing, provocative, engaging, conversational and promotional.

In Popcorn Content, Nick Usborne teaches you the new and essential craft of writing short-form content for social media.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE...

I am adding a few miscellaneous links I found for more Nick Usborne stuff:

AND MORE COPYWRITING RESOURCES
NOT SPECIFIC TO NICK USBORNE:

Magic Button :

AN OPEN S3 BUCKET
WITH AWAI FILES

On the request thread, AWAI came up as a good resource for writing short-form copy but their stuff is hard to come by and even when a link goes up, it comes down in short order.

So, I also found an open bucket for AWAI files on the Gray Hat Warfare site. You can use the link to sIMplified's site ripper tool below and type the bucket name in the text field to see the files.

You will have to trudge through the list to identify any files you can use. Or you can forego this drudgery and do a Google search for "how to write short-term copywriting pdf" and follow Google's lead.

Here is the Amazon S3 ripper tool:

And then, type this bucket name in the text search field:

AWAI "OPEN" BUCKET

Magic Button :

You can sign up for Usborne's FREE Guide and 3 Videos on CONVERSATIONAL COPYWRITING here:

Lastly, Usborne has some short-form copywriting courses and you can read more about them here:

SHORT-FORM COURSES FOR ONLINE
COPYWRITERS AND CONTENT WRITERS

Magic Button :

I suggest you write down the names of these courses and then search this or other black-hat forums to see if anyone is sharing them. One way to do that is a Google search like this:

What I found is a good download link for a copywriting book NOT by Nick Usborne but valuable, nonetheless. The very first link in Google's results went to another B-H site with a Mediafire link...

BUT STILL ... THERE'S MORE!

Thank you @tomwheelskirt for mentioning the Amazon S3 bucket with Dan Kennedy's No B.S. Magnetic Marketing Letter issues ... and the challenge of finding them in English (since the ones in the open bucket were in Japanese).

So I did a search and found one issue for 2013 and 2 for 2019. But I will tell you how to find additional 2019 issues using a neat link trick. See my post #8 below for all the details.

HOLY SMOKES!

The phrase "Not all heroes wear capes" defines you and this post.

You have certainly went above and beyond here and can't thank you enough for this.

In my own search for the answer, I've also found these two books enlightening so far:

No B.S. Guide to Direct Response Social Media Marketing - Dan Kennedy
Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World - Gary V

Anyway, I'm getting my hands on "Popcorn Content" now and I'll share what I think once I'm finished.

Max Repped Guaranteed

Awesome share, thanks Layna, >> Reps + added << Thank you

great share, thank you

PLEASE NOTE:

The open bucket (theresponse) has a bunch of legendary never before shared Dan Kennedy materials that we should all be THRILLED and HONORED to read and re-read.

(I have A LOT of his stuff but I have never ever seen all those years of newsletters shared anywhere before)

But the problem?

It's all in Japanese.

Does anyone know how we can get this translated?

(I have tried uploading the document to online tools that translates documents but the translation is terrible)

And if there's no way to do it...

Does anyone here want arguably the best job ever during this Covid-pandemic and an education of a lifetime?

If you speak english fluently and can read Japanese... translating a few years of NO BS Marketing Letters from Dan Kennedy will be an education of a lifetime and possibly the greatest investment you'll ever make because you get to instill the wisdom of this legendary marketing genius (who has created more self-made millionaires than almost anyone else) into your own brain.

And if you can do it and then share it with the BBHF community...

Well, I don't think you'll ever need another +rep as long as you live ;- )

@Sh4dey: I hope it can help with your short-form content and copy production. Thanks for the kind words and your reps. Thanks, too, for sharing the two titles with the rest of us.

If anyone is interested, you can pick up the books Sh4dey recommends here:

JAB, JAB, JAB, RIGHT HOOK

The link above gives you the PDF but if you need another format, go to: https://{{{Blocked by Omni Potens, reason: reports from LEGIT GB STARTER}}} and search for the title because there are additional formats.

NO B.S. GUIDE TO DIRECT RESPONSE
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

Magic Button :

And it's the same with this book; the link above is for the PDF but you can visit {{{Blocked by Omni Potens, reason: reports from LEGIT GB STARTER}}} and search for the title to find other formats.

@bigdad and mukidasu: I appreciate your posts and reps. Thank you.

@tomwheelskirt: Thanks for a very informative post. Strange that the No BS Marketing Letters from Dan Kennedy are in Japanese. Seems like the owner of the open S3 bucket serves a target market with Japanese customers.

It would be great to have those letters translated but it sounds like a pretty big job. I tried looking for them using the resources I have available but so far, no luck. I hope someone who has them will share 'em with us.

@All: REMINDER: PLEASE DON'T TARRY IN THOSE OPEN BUCKETS

As for the open buckets, keep in mind that the people who own these don't know that we're in their files so if you come across files you want, use a download accelerator to grab everything quickly, then be gone. To illustrate my point, I like to use this analogy: Imagine coming home and finding an entire family of strangers milling around in your house, enjoying your living space and all of its amenities. Well, that's what it's like when you're on the other side of an open bucket. It's open only because their either don't know how to (or were careless to) protect it properly. So, don't hang there any longer than you must. Thankfully, with tools like IDM, JDownloader2 and others, it's easier than ever to grab-and-go.

GIving beyond giving. thank you for this amazing level of sharing

UPDATE --- NOVEMBER 14, 2020
============

I just added the link to a thread where Animal88 shared the
Amazon S3 open bucket name for Dan Kennedy's products.
You can grab plenty of Kennedy's stuff there and, who knows,
maybe additional No BS Magnetic Marketing Letters, too. Please
see my update dated November 14, 2020 below. Thanx for reading!

DAN KENNEDY - NO B.S. MARKETING LETTER

@svpm1: Thank you for the kind post. Enjoy!

@tomwheelskirt: I promised to find some of the No B.S. Marketing Letters but all I could get were a few back issues (February 2013 and January and April 2019).

You can download them here...

NO B.S. MARKETING LETTER - FEB 2013; JAN, APR 2019

Magic Button :

HOW YOU CAN FIND MORE ISSUES

I used the same naming convention for the January and April letters show above to find a few more 2019 issues. So, if you wanted February 2019, you would replace the month information (ex: 02 and February_2019) in place of the wording where the 01 and January_2019 is shown). You must be sure to keep everything else exactly the same (best to copy/paste the link into a text editor and make the changes). All underscores and dashes, etc. must remain the same or the link won't work.

I can tell you that I found a few issues but for some reason, May, June and July 2019 were not on the server. Maybe he took a hiatus from publishing those issues or they exist on another server.

And you can change the year to 2020 to see if you can find more recent issues. That's what I'm going to do.

I hope this helps.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S (A LITTLE BIT) MORE...

Here are a few extra GKIC/Dan Kennedy links for stuff I found (along with a few "Doberman Dan" items thrown in).

Grab what you want and bookmark the pages you like.

And as for his best-selling No B.S. books, just go over to {{{Blocked by Omni Potens, reason: reports from LEGIT GB STARTER}}} and type Dan Kennedy or No B.S. Guide and you can get those downloads. Many of them have been shared here but you can find all of them over at {{{Blocked by Omni Potens, reason: reports from LEGIT GB STARTER}}} and alternately, at PDFDrive.com.

Here is an archive.org link that shows some 40 podcasts for Kennedy's No B.S. Magnetic Marketing Hour but I don't see a way to download them. It seems Archive.org has changed the way users access their content. Hopefully, you will be able to listen to the podcasts you choose from the collection:

ONE LAST UPDATE --- NOVEMBER 14, 2020
==========

I just found Animal88's share of the open S3 bucket name for Dan Kennedy's products.

Although a lot of the product files are missing you will find 3X the number of products that are still available.

First, visit that thread to get the Amazon S3 bucket name and further below, I link you to the Amazon S3 bucket ripper tool that will make easy work of downloading the files.

GO HERE:

Magic Button :

Be sure to also see Expl0rer's post #8, where you can get a text file of all the links from a mediafire link, assuming the link is still good.

If you cannot use the site ripper tool for some reason, try doing a Google search using the link in grayzone's post #7 on that thread. Or see posts #36, 37 and 38 for the list of links. Just select them all and if you have the Internet Download Manager integrated with your browser, it will parse all the links into the user interface so you can "weed" out the ones that are missing or dead ... then download.

Lastly, there is a mega download link at posts #44 and 45.

HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOADS:

Use this site ripper (you can thank or rep sIMplified for it). Go to the gray portion of the browser's screen and type in the Amazon S3 bucket name that Animal88 provided. Then hit the green SEARCH NOW button and wait a few seconds to see all the blue text links:

sIMplified's Wordpress/Amazon S3
Site Ripper Tool

Magic Button :

I recommend you use a good download accelerator tool like JDownloader2 or Internet Download Manager.
