Hello John, Stan and everyone at MRIC, hope you are all doing well. I’m new here. Just signed up. I’ve been silently reading ‘The Rant’ and ‘The Gary Halbert Letter’ for a long, long time. Thank you for helping me keep the dream alive all these years. Finally decided to make my move after job hopping and a handful of entrepreneurial journeys. I…Read more

I have a friend who owns and manages several mobile home parks in Texas and Montana. He buys almost new mobile homes for a deep discount through his network, sells them to investors, and rents them out. He gets to keep the lot rent (the rent of the land) and he sends the investors a monthly rent check for the mobile homes.
I’ve bought a couple o…Read more

Hi Hal: Are you talking about selling the mobile homes as IRA investments?
If so, one thing you could do is network with referral sources…investment advisors, accountants…anyone who would have access to people who would be in a position to make these investments. You could also join your local Chamber of Commerce and network there.-
Hey Virginia – Thank you for all the great advice. I will look into writing a book. The guy who sells the mobile homes is a licensed broker for them. I just help him write copy and tell my friends and family about them. I think going down the road of offering investment advice sounds like a good way to get me in trouble with the SEC or someone…Read more

Got views, read the email, yet no bucks. these leads are suppose be 70% or higher truly interested in biz opps and related products. Hope this Express writing course will help me get better sales results. Any other sugguestion on where to…Read more

Hi David: Biz opp has to be the most difficult place to start a marketing career but, that said, I would never buy an emall list. No matter what they say, it will not work.
The emails that you get from Organic Prospects do not even look like people who opted in to receive email. They are scraped from social media. Unless they have oped in…Read more

I’d probably stay away from Facebook, too. I’m sure they don’t like Biz op and you could lose your ads account.

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
