It's not the copy. It's not the customer reviews. It's not even the marketing at all.

The three psychology lessons that built this business came from the most compliance-heavy corner of e-commerce, and they apply to almost any market you're selling in. Restrictions that made our copy better, intent that beats interest, and curiosity that beats clarity.
