Holy cow! A little over a week ago as I’m publishing this, I posted “My response to a copywriter looking for career advice.” This was originally written as a personal response to a copywriter who’d asked for advice on making a six-figure income as a direct response...
One of my most valued friendships in the marketing world over the last couple years has been with Brian Kurtz at the legendary direct marketing company, Boardroom Inc., publisher of the Bottom Line brand. They were and still are one of the world’s top independent...

I was reading the book Growth Hacker Marketing by Ryan Holiday (whose book Trust Me, I’m Lying is a must-read on the state of PR and journalism today). And I came across this passage that made me absolutely livid (I’ll explain why in a minute)… “Deep down, traditional...
My second freelance copywriting client EVER was Ken McCarthy. If you don’t know who Ken is, you’re missing out. He was literally the first guy to hold an internet marketing seminar. Back in 1994 — just when Netscape came on the scene, and the visual internet was in...
