STEAL IDEAS.

Good artists copy. Great ones steal.

Paste a link to an ad, a pricing page or a launch post. Claude breaks it into the moves that make it work, and how to use each one in your business.

Storyteller Tactics free-plus-shipping deck funnel

Steal the whole promotion

Hook

Free product, pay only shipping

Why it works: Removing the product price makes the first yes feel nearly risk-free, so more cold ad clicks turn into buyers.

How to steal it: Offer your lowest-cost physical item as free and charge only a shipping fee that covers your real costs. Works for sample kits, printed guides, or starter packs where the cost to make one is low.

Price

Anchor against a much higher price

Why it works: A big 'normal price' makes the shipping fee look tiny by comparison.

How to steal it: State a higher regular price next to the free offer, and make sure you have sold or listed at that price. A consultant could show the usual fee for a workbook and then offer a copy free.

Urgency

Scarcity plus a fake-seller warning

Why it works: Telling buyers to use the official store pushes them to act now and stops them shopping around for cheaper copies.

How to steal it: Add a short note that stock is limited and that only your own page sells the real version. Use it only if it is true, such as for a product that is already being copied or resold.

Proof

Author with a recognised past employer

Why it works: A known name in the author bio borrows trust that a new brand has not earned yet.

How to steal it: Put the strongest outside credential near the offer, like a past employer, a client, or a published title. Keep it to one line, with a photo if possible.

Offer

Answer the odd-format objection head on

Why it works: A product that looks unusual makes people ask whether it is a gimmick, and answering that question removes the doubt before they leave.

How to steal it: Write a short section titled with the exact question buyers ask about your format. Explain why the format helps them use it, such as speed, handling, or fewer steps.

Audience

Segment 'it's for you' by job role

Why it works: Seeing their own role named lets each visitor picture how they would use it.

How to steal it: List three or four roles with one line each on what the product does for them. A software tool might split it into founders, marketers and support leads.

Proof

One testimonial tied to a big result

Why it works: A single specific win, with a clear dollar figure, is more believable and memorable than a pile of vague praise.

How to steal it: Pick your best customer story where the product played a clear part in a measurable outcome. Show the result in the headline of the quote and name the person and their role.

Offer

Add a digital bundle at checkout

Why it works: Once the buyer has said yes to the free item, a bigger bundle with a clear value tag raises the average order and covers the ad cost.

How to steal it: At the order step, offer the physical item plus digital access for a modest price with shipping included, and show what the extras are worth. Cost out the digital part so margin stays high, since it has no shipping cost.
