Yesterday I caught a little bit of flak for my post on 5 ways to know if you’re going to be a failure… Apparently this was an overwhelmingly negative post — or at least, headline. I think in reading it critically, you can recognize that it’s a “do this, not that” post...
For today’s lesson, I’d like to do something a little bit different. I want to share with you some of the traits I’ve seen of people who fail. Now, I don’t know exactly what your definition of success is. And “fixing” these things might not automatically bring that...
Today, a quick lesson in online video sales letters. You know, those annoying videos where someone talks while the exact same thing they’re saying is being shown on the screen… Usually with no video controls, ways to skip to the end, or even ways to take them up on...
Today, I want to talk about one of those things where I feel like it needs to come with a disclaimer. Because it’s really powerful. But it’s also a little bit sinister. So please, use this to be helpful to others — not hurtful. If you’re not going to do that, you...
Hello and welcome to another Mailbox Monday! Today, it’s time for an update on one of my most popular (and most SEO-friendly) articles for AWAI, Copywriting Royalties: How to Get Them. That was a very fundamentals-based article on structuring royalty arrangements… And...
I’m going to keep today’s issue shorter, but point you to a much longer read from someone who I respect and admire greatly. From 2005 until very early 2010, I worked at an IT training publisher in Oregon. We had a ton of success while I was there. The company more...
Gary Halbert used to teach a very simple method for creating a book, report, or other informational product. … With a side-benefit that it can turn you into a recognized expert on a topic in as little as 30 days… Let’s say you’re interested in the golf niche, and want...
I was listening to The Self Publishing Podcast the other day, and there was a statement that caught my attention. It was about email marketing. Now, I don’t self-publish fiction — which is the topic of that show. Not now, at least. But I listen to this podcast because...
It’s Copy Tuesday. And today, I’m going to dive into an idea that’s been on the back burner for a while. It’s been nagging at me enough, I think it’s time to bring it up front. It’s the “poetry” of great copy. Now, this may sound like a strange thing for me to talk...

In 2007ish, I did something I recommend all copywriters and direct marketers do. I started a direct marketing “side project.” This one started as more of a coincidence than a plan. My dad had a video he’d recorded on cutting foam wings for model airplanes. It’s his...
Yesterday’s post about online fundraising for nonprofits got me thinking. It’s an incredible demonstration of a simple principle. Simple, but powerful. Because this principle can create breakthroughs that transform entire industries. In yesterday’s post, I showed how...

So… Um… How about them Ducks? Dang. Gotta give a ton of credit to Ohio State though. They played to win. And win they did. Since I now live in the land of the Big 10, I can be happy that a Big 10 team won. And… Proved the value of this new playoff system. Last year,...
