Hey fellow Marketing Rebels,
My name is Ralston. I’m a long-time lurker here but first-time poster.
I’ve got a website that I’m finishing up and getting ready to hit the launch button on… and I’m looking to get a second opinion (or two) on my copy.
I would be willing to trade critiques if anyone helps me out (or however I could return…Read more

Hi James: You can post a link to it here and we will look at it. I would suggest you clean it up and submit it for a hot seat so Stan and John can give you feedback. By “clean it up” I mean format it and create a pdf that they can look at. We have one scheduled for July but you can get it done in August if you want. I think that would be the…Read more

If it isn’t on your site yet you can upload a PDF. If you don’t know how, there is a link to the instructions in the “Member’s Guide” (another link in the right column, but closer to the top).

I’m a graphic designer and rapper who loves writing. I want to improve my sales writing abilities so that I can sell courses of my own that I plan to develop, as well as sell more of my music and graphic design services.

I’ve been writing copy for several years now and have gotten complacent with the few clients that I have. What suggestions do you have for attracting new clients? I know that as a “copywriter” I should have no problems… and yet I haven’t been looking for a while. Any suggestions as to what is working for others to build their business?
Thank…Read more

John Carlton’s Best Ads: Black Hawk Down!
I read a lot. And I advise you to read a lot, too. As an old English teacher once told me: Read a book a week. And then, in your spare time, read another one. Non-fiction, and fiction. Newspapers and magazine excerpts don't count. (One trick I allow myself: At any...
John Carlton’s Best Ads: Your Personal Invitation
I love to do "personal invitations". It's the ultimate use of personalization. You don't have to make the piece "look" like a real invitation, but you can. I haven't tested this option, but my gut tells me a little ostentatious "wedding invite" detail would boost...
