What a great title for a book! Seth Godin wrote a fabulous book on marketing…actually several, including “The Purple Cow”, “Permission Marketing”…and of course, “All Marketers are Liars.” You can check out his blog at: http://www.allmarketersareliars.com/
In network marketing…the lying is CRAZY! Every time I pick up a publication and check out the advertising it makes me want to run to the bathroom and puke. I understand CLEARLY the importance of using powerful words, attention grabbing headlines, bonuses, testimonials and other important elements to make up a strong marketing campaign, but some of the B.S. I see gives our industry a tarnish.
I thought about writing an ad like this.
Check out this (made up) Sample Ad that shows some of the “hype”:

Now…obviously that is NOT a real advertisement. But, there is certainly some reality to what is being marketed out there. If you plan on advertising your program, BE REAL, BE HONEST, use POWERFUL words, but don't make it sound like a bunch of baloney! All you're going to attract are baloney eaters!
There is a DISTINCT difference between powerful copywriting and BS. Don't be a B.S.er, it only leads to a crappy taste in the mouths of your prospects.
