The Honest Guide to Selling in the Age of Artificial Stupidity — Johnny Hogwash
The price is £49. It was higher. It will be higher again. Henrique decides when. He has not told me.

Johnny Hogwash · The Honest Guide

Your copy looks correct.
That is the whole problem.

The machine writes clean sentences. Clean sentences that sound like every other page, convert like every other page, and get ignored like every other page. The gap between copy that looks correct and copy that sells is judgment — knowing, in under ten seconds, whether a sentence is doing a job or occupying the space where a sentence should be. That is what this teaches.

You are losing to people who are stupider than you. I want you to sit with this.

Not people who work harder. Not people with better products. Stupider. They are eating your lunch and they are eating it with their hands.

You have the machine. ChatGPT Plus, then Claude, then something called Jasper — you cannot remember the name, which tells you everything. The output is vague, generic, and sounds like ten thousand other pages, because ten thousand other people typed the same prompt this morning. You know this. You hit publish anyway.

You tried the courses. Great reviews. Introductory content. The login page has not been opened since March.

If you are running £500 a month in ads to a page that does not convert, that is £6,000 a year spent sending strangers to a page that sends them back. The fix is £49.

The writing is free. The judgment is not. That gap is the only place left where money lives.

You are not an idiot. You cannot currently tell the difference between a sentence that works and a sentence that looks correct. This is recoverable.

  • You use AI for copy, the output is generic, and you publish it anyway because you cannot articulate what is wrong with it — only that something is.
  • You have published something in the last ninety days you were not fully proud of. Not because the product was bad. Because the words were bad and you knew it and hit publish anyway.
  • You are a founder, a freelancer, a copywriter, or someone running ads who needs commercial writing that converts — not writing that sounds professional and forgettable.
  • You want a rubric. Fifteen questions. Three minutes. Something that tells you whether the copy is doing a job or occupying the space where copy should be — without posting it in a Slack channel and asking if it sounds okay.
  • You are willing to raise your price on Monday. Double it. Nine seconds in a Stripe dashboard. If the thought makes you close the tab, this is not for you.

Six chapters. Eight prompts. One rubric. Everything else is wallpaper and I have removed it.

A consultant charges £4,000 for a day. An agency charges £12,000 and takes six weeks. This is £49 and you have access the moment the payment clears.

Chapter 01

Why You Are Losing to Idiots Who Already Bought This

The writing is free. The judgment is not. This chapter names the gap — and explains why the man next to you, same machine and same subscription, is losing for a reason he will never diagnose on his own.

Chapter 02

How to Write a First Sentence That Earns the Second One

The first sentence has one job. The machine, when you ask it for an opening, gives you In today's fast-paced world — which is a throat-clearing, which is why you can already see yourself looking for your coat. There are four jobs a first sentence can do. This chapter names all four.

Chapter 03

Numbers Are Sexy. Adjectives Are for Cowards.

Every adjective on your page — powerful, world-class, seamless — is asking the reader to take your word for something, and the reader does not take your word for things. This chapter gives you the one-question audit that will make you throw away half of what is currently on your page. The half that remains will outperform the original whole.

Chapter 04

Find the Wound. Press the Wound. Sell the Bandage.

The machine gives you layer one — the survey answer, what customers say when they are performing. Layer two is what they say at midnight after two drinks. This chapter teaches you to write at layer two.

"I struggle with the imposter syndrome so my only way to combat that is to get better at what I do." — Reddit. That is layer two. The machine would have written many professionals struggle with confidence.

Chapter 05

Show Me the Strangers Who Love You. Then I Will Give You My Credit Card.

Your testimonials page is a graveyard. A testimonial that could appear on your dentist's page is doing nothing — it is actively signalling that nobody important has ever vouched for you. This chapter gives you four questions to ask a real client that produce proof the reader cannot argue with.

Chapter 06

The Price Is Not the Price. The Button Is the Whole Page.

You are writing the number in bold and leaving the rest of the sentence to the machine, which is writing it with its eyes closed. Every one of the ninety clients I told to double their price resisted. Every one who did it watched revenue go up. Raise the price on Monday.

Eight Prompts That Make the Machine Produce Something Worth Reading

A headline slot machine. A subject line that survives mass-delete on a commuter train. A cold email in sixty-seven words a stranger might actually reply to. A full sales page skeleton. A product description formula. A three-line ad. A customer-language extractor. An objection killer placed at the exact moment the doubt is born.

The Rubric

Fifteen Questions. Print It. Tape It to the Wall.

Three minutes. Finds, on average, eleven things wrong with a page the person thought was finished. The person is always surprised by eleven. They are never surprised by the dashboard after they fix the eleven things.

What happens when you pay. Plainly.

  1. Pay once

    £49. No subscription, no upsell, no bundle. The money moves into a system Henrique manages. I do not ask Henrique about the system.

  2. Check your inbox

    The login link arrives immediately. If it is in your spam folder, that is between you and your email provider. Click the link. You are in.

  3. Read it in order

    Six chapters. Three hours. The templates and rubric are downloadable PDFs inside — print them, tape them to the wall. You will spend the rest of the week noticing things on your page that you cannot unsee.

  4. Run the rubric before you publish anything

    Three minutes. Every time. The dashboard does not lie and it will not start lying on your behalf. Open it on Monday.

A consultant charges £4,000 for a day. An agency charges £12,000 and takes six weeks. This is £49.

The Guarantee

Apply the rubric to one piece of copy within thirty days. If you learn nothing you could not have learned for free, one email returns the £49 — no form, no questions, same day. This has happened twice. Both times the person had not applied the rubric. I refunded them anyway.

You are thinking something right now that you have not said out loud. I am going to say it for you.

"I already have prompts. This is probably just more prompts with a personality attached."

You have had prompts since January and they produced output that did not convert. The prompts are not the point — the judgment is. The judgment is what makes prompts produce something worth publishing, and it is what you do not currently have.

"I am a copywriter. Buying this is admitting I do not already know it."

Correct. That is exactly what buying it is. The copywriters who have bought this went back and rewrote something they had been charging for and thought was good. That is not comfortable. It is also the only direction the career goes.

"£49 is fine but I will probably not use it. I have bought things like this before."

The folder with the login page unopened since March is the evidence. The difference is a fifteen-question rubric you can apply in three minutes to the next piece of copy today — before you publish it. Use it once. If it finds nothing, the guarantee is there.

"Confident pages have let me down before. This is probably the same."

It is possible. The guarantee is thirty days, one email, no questions. The rubric is fifteen specific questions you can apply to a real page right now. The page is confident because the goods are specific. Specific things can be tested.

This section will contain real names, specific numbers, and the small detail that has no business being there but is the reason you believe the whole thing. The thing launched recently and I will not invent them — inventing them is what Chapter 5 specifically tells you not to do. When they arrive, this line disappears. Henrique will know before I do.

The logistics. Plain answers.

Written — six chapters inside a membership site you access immediately, no video, no ring light, no Tuesday Zoom call. The templates and rubric are downloadable PDFs inside your account, which you print and keep.

No. The prompts work with whichever subscription you are already paying for. Fill in the brackets with real customer language. Resist publishing the first output without running the rubric. The second part is the hard part.

The consultant charges £4,000 for a day. The agency charges £12,000 and takes six weeks. £49 is not a serious price for what is here, which is why Henrique has been given latitude on the number, which is why you should look at the button before you look away from this page.

Thirty days. Apply the rubric to one piece of copy. If you learn nothing useful, one email returns the £49 the same day — no form, no questions.

The man next to you has the same machine. He is going to bed. His page is live. His page is wallpaper and he does not know it and he will not know it until the business closes.

Next time the machine gives you a headline, you will look at it and know — in under ten seconds, without asking anyone — whether it is doing a job or occupying the space where a headline should be. You will rewrite it. You will put the right one on the page. The dashboard will move. That is the outcome. That is the whole £49. The button is below this sentence.
