Money loves speed… It’s something I learned early on in my marketing career. And whenever I’ve honored this truth, I’ve definitely seen money coming to me more quickly. Among the many areas you can apply this to is writing fast. I find that the more I can speed up my...
First, sometimes a little break goes a long way… We went on a family adventure this weekend. It was a 3-day camping trip with some good friends. Outside. In tents. At a state park. Lots of hiking. And Halloween activities, to boot! There was a pumpkin roll, down...

If you don’t have an offer they’ll buy, you won’t make the sale… I’ve written over and over again about how to get started as a copywriter. And yet I still get the same question asked, over and over again. How do I get started as a copywriter? How do I get started as...

It’s widely considered to be the most lucrative niche for copywriters… And rightly so. When you have a winner in the financial niche it can very easily cross $1 million and potentially climb into the tens of millions of dollars in sales. Typically the most financially...
Let’s talk about what’s important… So many things people focus on when trying to start a business are incredibly unimportant to their success. This is part of the reason I recommend the Michael Masterson book, Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat to...
Do you want to become a copywriter, but you’re not ready to get a marketing job? I think a lot of people find themselves in a situation like this. For family reasons, or whatever. You want to get started in direct response, but you’re not in a space where changing...
