Wanted to leave a podcast review on iTunes but didn’t see a spot to do it anywhere? Perhaps because I was on my iPhone! Does anyone know how?

Just was on Amazon posting a review of John Carltons latest ebook
Simple Success Secrets No One Told You About (The Business Pro’s Essential Toolkit Book 1)
which if you haven’t yet read it at only $2.99 you are truly missing out on some of John’s best work yet but what was really cool is when I was looking at the other reviews for this book it…Read more -

KICKASS COPYWRITING CRASH COURSE PART 1
Wow…great stuff! When part 1 suddenly ended I thought it was the end of last Sopranos episode when everything fades to black only realizing I now must wait for part 2!
John at his best gave me names of 4 new books that I intermittently paused the episode for to click into my Amazon page to quickly order! I…Read more-
I’m still bummed the Soprano’s ended. Also Mad Men, Six Feet Under, and Nurse Jackie.
Thanks for reminding folks to check out the crash course, Larry…

I love Crash Course! I only wish Module 2 were available NOW! Mad Men could have went on for years! They ended it with Don (Aka Dick) in a California retreat chanting so maybe they did run out of material! Definitely ripe for some spinoffs!

John,
There is one thing I did want to ask you after Crash Course! You told the audience that B2B and B2C can’t remember your exact words but implied to try to differentiate or make a distinction is bunk but let me ask you.Take the Financial niche for example. In what I would call B2C is stuff like Agora or Stansberry or Dent or Alucher even where…Read more-
The basic answer is this: Whether you’re doing B2B or B2C, in the end you’re trying to persuade (in most cases) one human being to act. Even if, in a corporation, the decision will made by a committee or board, you’re still dealing with humans, and humans respond to fundamental salesmanship the same way, no matter what their position is. A CEO has…Read more

Thanks John! You are absolutely right! Keep it human! I will cut that out and save it and refer back to it when I am writing some copy to a Corporate CEO etc as above being an Owner of a Business, a CEO or other C suite businessman or woman or anything business related he or she is first and foremost a Mom or Dad, a son or daughter and someone’s…Read more

OK, so I have a potential client asking for some email samples. They have an email newsletter where they sell a book and I think I can help them. But, I don’t have any email samples. Should I write one up? Show them related, but not email samples? What do you think?
-
Write some up, yes. I don’t like working for free, but to get the ball rolling, see what kinds of emails this client does, and write two or three that would work. One like they already email, to show your ability to produce. Another with some extra pizazz, to show you’ve got creative chops. Maybe another to show some marketing angle they hadn’t…Read more

PS I failed to mention the reason you want to access the letters thru this site where they are in order is otherwise trying to find the second letter of the two I mentioned which is the following month would be very hard to find where here it’s the next one down!
Definetly check that out because Gary Halbert walks you step by step with the…Read more

John Carlton’s Best Ads: A Really Long Letter To Every Bodybuilder Who Secretly Believes The Fat Cats Are Ripping Him Off
Here is that notoriously-long letter I wrote to the bodybuilding market a few years back. It's a trimmed-down version of the 23-page letter that originally went out - we condensed a bunch of the charts and whittled the thing down to a nice and tidy 16 pages....

One of the biggest hurdles in putting on an online event is getting people to actually show up. So you need to make it as easy as possible for them. One way is to include a link in your reminder emails that will allow them to add the event to their calendar......
Hi Larry: If you go to where the list of podcasts is in Itunes there will be a link for “ratings and reviews”. Click on that and at the top of the list of reviews is a box that says “write a review”.
There is a screenshot of the first link here: http://screencast.com/t/jFHDODi0GqYN
I did this on a windows machine so I am not sure if Itunes…Read more
Thanks Virginia! I think its because I was on the iphone at the time so I will check it out later from my laptop!
It’s interesting that there would be no way to leave a review from what may be the most popular device for accessing itunes! Notice that Amazon did let you leave a review.
