I thought it would be my brightest hour — but it was one of my darkest… A few months prior, I’d landed a gig writing promos for what is still one of the best financial copywriting teams on the planet. There was tremendous upside potential in the job. Getting my...
You can argue with them until you’re blue in the face… You still won’t make the sale. You’re familiar with the classical model of the pushy salesperson? They still exist in the wild, I’m sure. Salespeople too caught up in “closing” to actually pay any attention to...
This is part of why I started requesting 50% of my fee BEFORE starting work… I remember reading about this from both Gary Halbert and Dan Kennedy, very early in my copywriting career. Both had worked with very entrepreneurial clients. And the more entrepreneurial a...
It hit me out of left field — I went from hyper-productive to PROCRASTINATION… And at first, I didn’t realize what was going on. Then, I remembered a lesson from Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art. And I realized that in the One Big Idea from that book, I had my...
He was willing to spend $250 to make a $69 sale… That means that for every $1 he’d bring in, he was willing to spend almost $4 on marketing. And that didn’t even count his cost of fulfillment! This was a client of mine. Not an investment newsletter publisher, but...

Do you suck at writing? Is your English terrible? (Or is it your 2nd language?) I’ve written about this a few times. But I got a new book this past week that made me rethink it. It put things in a new perspective. It reaffirmed the possibility is ALWAYS there for...
I have the kids at home today and I’m getting the house ready for Thanksgiving, so I’m not going to write a regular issue of Breakthrough Marketing Secrets today. But I did want to tell you that I’m incredibly thankful for YOU. I truly appreciate you and your...
Have you ever caught yourself procrastinating? “You should know better. You could do better. You should definitely achieve more — and live up to a much bigger potential. Why are you always your own worst enemy?!” Your inner critic rails on you. I know what it feels...
Any experience is better than no experience… So many copywriters at the beginning of their careers just freaking spin their wheels! It’s so frustrating, to see from the perspective of someone who has been in the business for a while. You get these people who get...
This works ESPECIALLY well in the most competitive markets. I continue to process the lesson I learned earlier this week, from the $500 million copywriter that you may have never heard of. I think it’s the biggest sales, marketing, and copywriting breakthrough I’ve...
Sometimes, really tactical stuff just works… Earlier this year, I worked on a project with another copywriter, Vitaly Grinblat. It was a promotion for a stock picking service. The market focus and promo topic is irrelevant to this article. We wrote a solid promo....
I’ve been stalking him for a while now… Stefan Georgi is probably one of the best copywriters you may never have heard of. He quietly rose to the top of the online copywriting world by… Crazy idea… Writing copy. A TON of it. In fact, at one point he was cranking...
Imagine your perfect workday… You probably know what it feels like. Because you’ve had days, or even just a few hours, where you’ve felt how you’d feel. If you’re on the phone with prospects, you’re having the exact conversation and interaction you need to close the...
