Hello MRIC!
While most of you probably have a copy of John Caples book “Tested Advertising Methods” I was just on a lesson by Drayton Bird on askdrayton.com where he explains it is not the red covered 5th edition that we want as that is a later edition edited not by Caples but by Fred E. Hahn

Hello MRIC!

Happy Holidays to everyone at MRIC…

Hello from Australia. I joined the Club to learn how to bring value as a copywriter to businesses in my area. I’m looking forward to meeting people who can help me on how to get started in copywriting business and figure out answers to questions I haven’t even thought of. Cheers

Hey John! Podcast on Dunning-Kruger was great!
What’s your ETA on new RANT?
Thanks!
Larry E-
Hi Larry: John updates the RANT at least once a month, and will be writing the December post soon.
He hopes to step up his posting in January, but it will be at least once a month.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! I love the RANT! If there’s anybody in MRIC not reading that and listening to his podcast with Kevin Rogers they are truly missing out on a lot!
Read all the back issues and printed them out to put with my Copy,Freelancing,
SWS & other stuff like all John’s books!
Thanks again Virginia!
