I’m new around here after buying John’s course that just landed in my inbox yesterday. My bio will give more of the fun facts but for now, I’m working on an offer in the resume writing space. I’m running some test Google ads that are getting clicks but not purchases.
I suspect I need to change up the landing page instead of sending them to a…Read more

Hi, I’m Rusydi.
I’m a former copywriter and content strategist for an events company. I had the privilege to run marketing campaigns for speakers such as Tony Robbins, Jay Abraham and Robert Kiyosaki in 2019.
I typically write email sequences, paid advertising (Facebook, Google and YouTube Ads), and also long-form sales pages.
Now, I a…Read more

Hi Rusydi:
I think that the first challenge facing people who are transitioning from employee to entrepreneur is time management. You go from having an employer telling you what to do and when to do it (to a greater or lesser extent) to having to tell yourself what to do and when to do it, without having anyone standing over your shoulder making…Read more

Another thing you can do is request a hot seat. John and Stan can give you some ideas about how and where to start.
I will also suggest you get John’s Freelance course. It is very inexpensive and will give you some great tips on how to get clients for a copywriting business.

Hey everyone. I just became a member and I wanted to introduce myself. I have an online business that helps personal trainers build their business. I started about a year ago and am slowly building.
I’ve studied Gary Halbert and am so excited to add to my copy skills with John Carlton’s materials.
I’m also hoping to connect with some…Read more

Hi all,
Just introducing myself. I have received John Carlton’s newsletters for many years.
I am a Hypnotist who specializes in releasing emotional traumas to help my clients create their futures the way they want it. However, I am now pivoting from one-on-one work to doing online group sessions, so copy writing will be integral to f…Read more

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: Everything And The Kitchen Sink #2 – Entire Library Of Fighting Videos
There are two ads referenced in this commentary. This is the second one (last couple of paragraphs). Another Rodale piece-- this time, they got impatient selling individual books about the various parts of men's lives... and decided to just lump everything together...
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 Eric: It is hard to make a sale directly from an ad. You are better off giving something away for a person’s email address and continuing the conversation so you can show them that you are an authority. You can use the email list to sell additional products, too.
There is nothing inherently better about a long or short sales letter. You…Read more
Thanks Virginia. I was wondering if anyone had replied to this and just saw the notification tucked away yesterday. But someone else told me something very similar to what you said, so I worked on a different landing page.
So I’ve taken a different approach now and am wondering if I can get some feedback on this landing page.
It’s the landing…Read more
