Hey Virginia, I wanted to put a comment/question underneath this one. . . https://1023.marketingrebelclub.com/lessons/sf-the-17th-version/ but there doesn’t seem to be a link to click to do so, even though the “complete guide” said we could ask questions. What do I do?

Hi Robert: Post the question here in the Clubhouse. Refer to the post and link to it like you did here in case someone wants to go there to see it. If you comment under the post people (like me) won’t see it.

Virginia, hi! I posted this yesterday after watching the PowerPoint you linked to me ( thanks) but I may have inadvertently replied to my post not yours so not sure if you saw it!
hi again!Went to my office and watched your video on âHow to Easily Convert Articles to Video with Powerpoint and Camtasiaâ
It was a great primer for me as my kno…Read more-
Hi Larry: I did see your post but haven’t had time to reply.
I have a windows PC. The last Apple desktop I used was in 1984. It had no hard drive and used 3 1/2″ floppy disks. So my knowledge of Macs is limited at best. I do have an ipad but would never use that for a primary computer.
I like my desktop because the monitor is easier on my…Read more

Yes, that is the context you used Laughingbird in!
Thanks for the info!
I’m trying to think of who manufacturers it but I saw a laptop with a very large monitor that actually turns vertical in case you want to read a newspaper or magazine! Thanks for that info. It was very helpful!!!

Thanks for the info Pete! I’m gonna check them out in a couple of weeks at one of the retail stores (Costco, Best Buy or other) then I will take you up on your kind offer and post the ones I find ( be it PC or PC and laptop if I can generate the $$$$ ) then after narrowing it down I will buy it at one of the online sites!
Thanks again!

Larry,
Something else you may want to consider that helps me tremendously…Good writing software.
I use Scrivener.
There’s another software that a British screenwriter/programmer created called yWriter. It’s very similar to Scrivener, but it’s free.
(if you google ywriter, his “programmer” name is spacejock, so don’t confuse that for…Read more

Also, speaking of books, there’s a book out called “My Life in Advertising & Scientific Advertising” Two Works by Claude C.Hopkins
It’s really very very interesting and an enjoyable educational read! -

A good book out in print and Kindle called;
“There is No B2B or B2C: Itâs Human to Human: #H2H”
It’s only 68 pages but great read!

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

John Carlton’s Best Ads: The Nearly-Crippled Businessman

We’re about to announce a SWS Coaching program that will start in 1-2 weeks.
The teacher will be our most experienced instructor, Mark Landstrom.
Watch your inbox this week. Because there will be just one classroom, we will limit enrollment.
Thanks Stan. I will be looking forward to seeing that email.
What’s the price of it compared to the DIY SWS? Anyone know? I ask because I’ve been stalking my inbox awaiting an email and I’m wondering if I should just bite the bullet and do the DIY SWS. Decision largely influenced by price. Thanks!
Alicia,
Where did you find the DIY SWS?
I never even knew that existed.
Hi Nick: You can purchase the DVDs at http://www.SimpleWritingSystem.com
Ok, Virginia, thank you. But what is the added cost with the coach? With Mark taking us through it. I assume it’s an INCREDIBLE value add. Just wondering what the cost is for that, on top of the SWS itself.
Nick, I just mean, the SWS without the coach. The cd (DVD?) program that you do on your own, just you and your CDs.
Hi Alicia: The cost of the DVDs is $797. The cost of SWS with live coaching is $2,000 if you haven’t purchased the DVD’s and $1,197 if you have. If you already own Kickass Copywriting Secrets you get $100 off the purchase of the SWS coaching.
Hi Alicia: You can purchase the DVDs now and get a full credit when the live coaching starts.
Here’s another question…
The bonuses for SWS are the kick ass course, the 11 marketing fixes and Power Words.
I already have those from the freelancers course.
Can we get john to toss a a different bone, since we already have these- LOL)?
Not really an enticing bonus for us that have the freelance course already…ya know?
Hi Nick: There are several other bonuses included with SWS. There are 13 video interviews that John did with other top marketers and access to videos from all 3 Action Seminars The AS videos are available while you are a student and for a week or two after that.
in addition, if you already own KACC you get a $100 discount off the live…Read more
I meant KACS, not KACC
LOL…I truly believe it’s worth that and more, I was KIND OF kidding (but just throwing it out there too đ
