unc cooked 7 bussin' secrets 😭🙏


yesterday

CopyCreator Club member + ex-Agora copywriter Rick Peterson

pulled up to my DMs

with book notes

from “The 7 Lost Secrets of Success” by Joe Vitale

1992

this book is OOZING aura

every generation should read it

especially Gen Z

but ngl

they’d understand ZERO of it

bro would hit page 2 and go

🧍‍♂️

so i did what any unc would do

i REWROTE the 7 secrets

INTO GEN Z

for your joy

for your entertainment

for your brain cells (RIP)

it’s giving

main character copywriting

enjoy =)


chat

ts is NOT optional

your customer is king

and if you got a boss?

boss = customer

same aura

different Slack channel

💀

but here’s the thing

customers do NOT know what you do

unless you tell them

and then tell them AGAIN

every. single. day.

new customers spawn in

fresh server

zero lore

they’ve never heard of you

not even a lil bit

you stop advertising?

you’re a ghost

invisible

-9,000,000 aura

historical L

Bruce Barton said it in 1920

(this man was sigma before sigma)

“you think you told the world your story”

“overnight a new world was born”

“it never heard it”

unc was LOCKED IN

YOU MUST ADVERTISE

no cap

deadass

on god

fr fr


SECRET #1: EXPOSE THE BIZ NOBODY KNOWS

how does your biz help people live better?

and don’t give me the Ohio answer

look PAST the obvious

Barton’s steel ads?

nobody was buying steel

they were buying a mission to level up a whole nation

bro turned METAL into rizz

ate

left zero crumbs

absolute cinema

people want:

  • security
  • sex
  • power
  • immortality
  • wealth
  • happiness
  • safety
  • health
  • recognition
  • love

which one are YOU delivering?

that’s the sauce

not sauce-adjacent materials

the ACTUAL sauce

1952:

Barton tells the NY Stock Exchange

“translate your story into human terms”

translation:

make it about THEM

nobody cares about your org chart

king

be so fr

logic + emotion

you need both

one = L

both = W

sheeeesh

SECRET #2: USE A “GOD” TO LEAD THEM

people are OBSESSED with experts

“he knows ball”

“listen up”

brain just shuts off

no thoughts

head empty

only trust

and lowkey?

write a book = instant expert

even if the book is full of cap

generational scam

also the game

bro published and ascended

become the expert

become the god

that’s why brands throw celebs in ads

we know them

we love them

we trust them

they live in our heads rent free

borrowed aura

aura farming at industrial scale

start farming yours

it’s giving

understood the assignment

SECRET #3: SPEAK IN PARABLES

aka tell stories

chat

Barton wrote simple + snappy

hit the everyday worker

AND the big brains

range

mogging everybody

stories sneak past the

“i’m being sold to” defenses

no frontal assault

no ick

just vibes and a plot twist

so:

who bought from you and got TRANSFORMED?

who’d you help move the needle?

who had the glow up?

those are your parables

testimonials doing the heavy lifting

while you glaze nobody

W

SECRET #4: DARE THEM TO TRAVEL THE UPWARD PATH

two roads in life

one goes up

one is a boring NPC loop forever

people want to level up

but they won’t move

unless you nudge them

and the nudge?

exclusive club

ego goes crazy

nobody wants to be outside the velvet rope

negative rizz

straight to the shadow realm

how do you challenge them without dissing them?

“Men who ‘know it all’ are not invited to read this page!”

now EVERYONE reads it

to prove they’re not that guy

😭🙏

psychologically diabolical

kinda based

bet

SECRET #5: THE ONE ELEMENT MISSING

John Caples said Barton had three things:

sincerity

sincerity

sincerity

ads are missing it

honesty sells

period

periodt

you can fool them once

maybe

then you’re a generational fumble

they got a built-in cap detector

caught in 4k

stay real

or stay cooked

SECRET #6: GIVE YOURSELF AWAY

Barton did what he loved

cheddar was a byproduct

bro wasn’t chasing the bag

the bag was chasing HIM

and he delegated

green flag

visible from space

be vulnerable

be honest

show your fr fr side

you might not be the best

not the brightest

not bussin' bussin'

and that’s a bet

nobody trusts the guy who’s perfect

that guy is lying

all cap

and probably from Ohio

so what are YOU giving?

👀

SECRET #7: SHARPEN THE KNIFE

hone the work

until it’s cracked

no mid

no “good enough”

no filler

heat only

we ship bangers

because the brain is asking:

“who cares?”

“so what?”

“what’s in it for me?”

can’t answer in 2 seconds?

one swipe

you’re gone

ratio’d

deleted

RECAP:

advertise forever

expose the biz

borrow god aura

tell stories

dare them upward

stay sincere

give yourself away

sharpen the knife

or don’t

we stay delulu

we stay invisible

we stay financially irresponsible

say less

we outside 🐐

SECRET RULE #8: NOT IN THE BOOK. FROM DA GOAT

this one is the final boss

the secret behind the secrets

write

your own

daily emails

no cap

deadazz

and before you go

“bro nobody wants another email”

nobody wants a BORING email

big difference

king

the algorithm can’t touch it

Instagram fell off? cooked

X changed the rules? cooked

TikTok got banned for a week? cooked

your email list?

you OWN it

zero crumbs owed to Zuck

you are the landlord of your own attention

show up every day

before the zyn hits

they start to think

“this guy all rizz”

pookie energy

that’s aura

that’s borrowed trust turned owned trust

that’s Secret #6 and #5 in one email

you sell and nobody clocks it

stories sneak past the defenses

remember Secret #3?

one story a day

one lil offer when it fits

nobody feels hunted

they feel invited

you get paid while you touch grass

write it once

it hits a thousand inboxes

guap shows up

cheddar

cheese

dough

stacks

paper

bands

racks

wallet fat

bag secured

no NPCs on payroll

no team

no agency

no Slack drama

just you

a keyboard

solo and stacking

fr fr

bro levels up LIVE

30 days in?

you’re cooking

90 days in?

you’re mogging

a year in?

bro is a different species

main character arc

BUT HERE’S THE GLITCH

most NPCs quit on day 3

blank screen

🧍‍♂️

“what do i even say”

crashout

historical L

generational fumble

negative aura farming

but

the cheat code

for writing daily emails

people LOCK IN for

emails with some rizz

emails people be waiting on like a drop

is Email Goat

written by the goat 🐐

steal the sauce

not sauce-adjacent materials

the ACTUAL sauce

say less
