Hi everyone!
I’m Ben from Belgium. I’m 27 years old and trying to get off the ground as an entrepreneur. I just lost my job so I’ll really have to get going now!
So my most pressing problem is getting started. I decided to join the MRIC for access to the content and to be able to ask for feedback…

John Carlton’s Best Ads: What Women Secretly Wish You Knew About Sex
I struggled for years to get Rodale to use personalization in a letter. My other clients found that personalizing a letter boosted response by as much as 30% -- a very significant increase to the bottom line. Working with large mailers, you are pitted against...

John Carlton’s Best Ads: Hot Off The Lot
This is an ancient manuscript for an ad I wrote maybe 15 years ago. If you know anything about me personally, you know I'm the worst sort of pack-rat there is. I have dozens of banker's boxes in the garage stuffed with files, notes, ads and what-not--some of it going...
