During the launch of the Story Selling Master Class, I had someone contact me through Facebook to insult me… Presumably, this was someone who actually wanted me to give him money, to help me with my copy. That’s the impression he gave me. But he started off by saying...
This could upset the apple cart… Since 2010, I’ve made most of my living as a “gun for hire” copywriter, working for some of the biggest, best direct response marketers on the planet. Since 2014, I’ve written the daily Breakthrough Marketing Secrets essays with a...
Apparently not everyone was excited about me suggesting you should write a book that sells like a sales letter… Today’s Mailbox Monday is all about that. I got a note from a reader — a doctor — who likes the idea of writing a book, but disagreed a bit with my...
One of the people who spoke — and talked — at the meeting I was at this week was Jay Samit, author of the book Disrupt You! And I want to share this tiny little tactical slice of his presentation with you, because I thought it was really powerful. (And perhaps if you...
Every time I spend a bunch of time hanging out with highly-successful entrepreneurs, one thing strikes me, HARD: compared to what most of society calls “normal,” we’re an incredibly broken and dysfunctional group… CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, thought leaders,...

When I first heard this, it changed the way I thought about internet marketing forever… I’m sure I heard it from Perry Marshall. It wasn’t even the point of what he was trying to say. It was an offhand remark. One of those throwaway comments that packed a punch,...
This question came up the other day, and I had a very different idea than the person who raised it… I was participating in a forum for entrepreneurs, and someone asked what the fundamental skills are that you need to develop to be successful at entrepreneurship. He...
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in business is “money loves speed…” This can often lead to things being messy the first time they’re rolled out. This means you’re almost never perfect. And yet, it means you get a TON done! And, when you act fast, you...
Today’s email is going to be quick… My oldest son was up at 1:30 AM this morning after a nightmare (no doubt a subconscious response to “back to school” jitters), and after he woke me up I couldn’t get back to sleep. While I did get SOME work done during that time...
Channeling my best Monty Python… And now it’s time for something completely different! I’ve spent most of the last week talking to you about using stories in selling… As part of the launch of my Story Selling Master Class. (Doors open this week: click here to make...
We’re in the thick of it now! Much of my day today has been consumed with unexpected technical issues around the launch of the Story Selling Master Class. Add to that a last-minute business-related trip that I’m finalizing details on, and I feel like I’m running...
Here’s a great example of a selling story “in the wild”… Most of today’s issue is going to be a reprint of one of the most popular articles on my site… It’s always nice when Google recognizes your article as one of the top pages on the internet for a major guru’s...
