“There’s riches in niches…” I’ve heard this said over and over (and over) again. And in general, I agree with it. In fact, it’s part of the reason I’ve doubled-down recently on the financial copywriting bit, and largely ignored almost every other opportunity that’s...
Can you smoothly transition into asking for money? It’s the moment of truth… You’ve set up your prospect’s need, want, and desire for your product or service… They know you have something to sell them — and they want it. But how do you make that transition WITHOUT it...
Let’s talk about success. Specifically, starting from wherever you are — even if it’s at square one — and becoming successful. I was recently on a copywriting forum where a new copywriter was asking for advice. He railed off the long lists of all the advantages he...

Did you win the $1.5 billion Mega Millions jackpot? I doubt it. Because you’d probably not have much interest in today’s issue of Breakthrough Marketing Secrets if you had. Nor would I, if I won, in fact. I’m sure whomever won — apparently someone who bought a...
Some copywriting “gurus” give the dumbest advice… I’m not going to call this one out by name. But it’s definitely one of the short list of copywriting teachers that most newbies flock to when they discover you can get paid for writing. And he said that you should...
