I get awful and disgusted looks, accused of being a kid who’ll never grow up. All I do is put ice down ladies shirts, blow up little brown bags so I can sneak up behind someone being way too serious and pop them next to their ears, etc. I could care less if I’m 55 going on 10. What is life if you can’t enjoy it? And yes, I’ve been accused many times of making light of serious situations even though many of the people doing so could hardly contain themselves after a few choice comments as well. I believe God has a great sense of humor and your test, boys and girls, is life.

I would personally recommend it very highly and, if you’re serious about copywriting, you should definitely give it a go.

Heck, it’ not like you risk anything, especially in the first month.

I like it so much, I even recommend it on my blog here:

Honestly, I have no shame. (Slap, slap, ouch!)

Just a thought… I learned somewhere that laughter is an reaction or expression of embarrassment. What makes us laugh are things that embarrass us.

So two people laughing together are sharing a mutual embarrassment. Fine. They are establishing joint social codes – “I find this funny (embarrassing) and so do you. Look what we have in common. I like you.”

Sometimes people find something funny but hold back their laughter (I’ve certainly done this!) because they are not sure if it is an appropriate response in the situation e.g. formal occasion, a new movie, etc. They do not want to set themselves apart from the other people who do not share their laughter/embarrassment.

Why do top copywriters laugh more easily and heartily (and at a wide range of funny subjects, from the profane to the juvenile) ? Perhaps it’s because they are more in tune (and comfortable) with themselves and also with society at large. They are more secure in themselves and so do not have the worry, or fear, of seeming out of place or “wrong”.

Perhaps this general empathy with the world is what makes them top copywriters. They instinctively know what other people (in general) are thinking and how they will react. They are confident. Everyone prefers to buy from a confident person. Confident in themselves and in what they are selling.

As I say, just a thought… and thanks for the blog! Stumbled on it one day and keep coming back….

Advanced humor does have its place in the final results
anything that comes our of New Zealand is a tribute to this
if you get a chance take some time and have a look, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

(That’s a big call coming from an Aussi)

“I am able to Live my Passion and help others attain THEIR goals and drams and find blessings along the way. FUN is the largest word in my vocabulary.

I practice Laughing every single day and NO day is complete without a gafaw loud and long enough to make my kitty come looking to see wha the heck is happening!”

Your statement, “laughter……It’s a stress releaser, a bonding tool” is the FINITE difference between sanity and success and those that just muddle through. I teach relationship building and personal development through my http://www.CompassionateMarketing.com blog and bonding is a critical skill. You have put it so aptly, so go laugh a little and bond allot!

Thanks as always for your insights.

Practicing Abundance, Prosperity & Kindness EVERY DAY,
