Hey all – really excited to be here.
I read John’s post on Facebook and skipped every juicy bit of scintillating copy until I’d put in my card details and hit ‘BUY’.
In response to “Letting us know who you are and how we can help you…” on the ‘Welcome to the club’ page…
I’ve been studying this direct response stuff for a few years…Read more

Hi Scott: Welcome to the Club!
The only one that can answer that question is you, and the best way to do that is to pick something and jump in.
If I were in your shoes I would start with Affiliate Marketing. Find an already-successful product in a niche you enjoy (ignore those who tell you that you don’t have to have any personal interest…Read more

Another thing. No matter what you do, build an email list. This will be an asset that you can use to make continuing sales. And, if you pick a niche you enjoy, you may decide to continue selling other people’s products, and you don’t have to worry about advertising platform rules since you have your own community of email subscribers.

such great advice @virginia-drew!

Hello! First post here – new to The Clubhouse. I just bought Kick Ass Copywriting Secrets. Shoot, I couldn’t take my credit card out fast enough for today’s special offer.
I’ve been a solopreneur marketer for around 7 years. Been following and reading John’s insights for nearly the whole time (miss the podcast with Kevin Rogers.)

Hi Guys,
I would appreciate feedback from one of your pros on this piece of copy I’ve written. How can I improve it?
Thanks!

Hi Hamoon: You can get John and Stan to review your copy. Just apply for a hot seat (top link under “Hot Seats & Consulting” in the right column ).
-
Hi Virginia… wow that’s pretty awesome! (And scary). Haha. I’ll give it a shot. What an opportunity to learn! Thanks!

Cool. One thing you can do, if you haven’t yet, is to go through the (free) Simple Writing System Express Course. There is a banner in the right column, and will give you additional insight into your client’s best prospect and his offer.
-
Hamoon, one thing I would suggest is to mention the cap of 20 people in the headline. If people know that there’s a limit to how many people will be accepted for this, it will create a sense of urgency to act quickly. I have some other thoughts about it, but of course you’ll do much better to have it reviewed by John or Stan! – Janet

John Carlton’s Best Ads: Butt-Ugly Golf
I've written something like 4,000 direct mail letters and direct response ads for golf products now. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. Sometimes, the best ads come from sheer desperation. I was hitting the very bottom of my bag of tricks last year,...

John Carlton’s Best Ads: The Financial Bloodbath Caused By Criminal Scum
Gary Halbert gets credit for the headline and concept on this one. I was working with him at the time, in the last days of the Reagan presidency, when the financial markets -- and especially the precious metals markets -- were causing investors migraines. Banks were...
John Carlton’s Best Ads: The Nearly-Crippled Businessman
Here is an early self-defense letter, which struck a major nerve in the customer base for this market. It's run every year for the last decade in the major magazines and mailed even more often to hotlists. The appeal is simple and to the point: This is hard-core...

Hi Jonathan: Welcome to the Club and to the Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets course!
The best thing to do to begin is “something”. Jump into the KACS course, look around the Club to see what interests you, post a question here. You need to overcome the initial inertia and do something.
Not rocket science, but it works…
Hope this helps. I am…Read more
