I\’m hoping John will answer this, but if anyone else can, that\’s great too.
I listened to the scuttlebutt session \”The Life Changing Secrets of Simply Focusing\” and at some point John mentioned he does a marketing meditation, but never went beyond mentioning it in passing.As a long time meditation geek, I\’ve gotta know how this is done?

Sorry, I have no idea what I was referencing there. I can guess, though — the process of figuring out hooks and sales angles involves stuffing your brain with research and info, and then “getting cold on it” by ignoring it for a while. Sometimes an hour, sometimes a day or two.
However, your brain is working on sorting it all out as you do somet…Read more

Wow, I can’t believe you answered so fast.
That makes perfect sense, I used to do this all the time when writing essays in school and stuff.
Thanks for clarifying it.

I am a musician and entrepreneur and I’ve been building custom harmonicas as a business for over 20 years. I got into a program with Hohner harmonicas called the Hohner affiliated customizer program that is an honor ( I am one of 3 in this program in the USA & they are not accepting any more) and allows me to buy parts direct from Germany at a…Read more

Hi Pete,
Thanks for your thoughts – it really helps me out to back up and think from this wider perspective. Signature solution – that gives me a way to take what i have learned and structure it. I also am brain storming the name. The “Simple Writing System” really makes a clear promise. I used to sell a course “Train Rhythms and Pentatonic…Read more

Do you think you could create an info product on the inner game of musicians?
Your take on the creation of music, how to express yourself through music etc.
Sounds like you have a lot of insight on this.
Back in the day I quit playing guitar, because it didn’t feel like playing at all, more like a chore.
I know manual skill and rote practice are…Read more -
Hi Richard: I think Isak has a good idea there. Something on how to stay motivated and keep practicing when you really don’t feel like it.
Also, I’d like to suggest that when you have given it some thought and outlined a path you may want to take, and some products that you think would be of interest to your market, that you apply for a hot…Read more

Dear fellow copywriter,
My name is Andrei Crudu and I am a software developer with dreams to escape the coding rat race and move onto running my own software as a service – SAAS – business.
Between coding and marketing, my life is plentiful with joy and happiness and never a dull moment (my 4 year old daughter also helps a lot with this and…Read more

Hi Andrei:
You need to give some more specific info about yourself and what you do.
What type of software do you create? Who would be your target market?

I also suggest that (if you haven’t done this already) you go through the Simple Writing System Express Course. It’s free and will help you nail down who it is you are selling to and what you do for them. Just click on the Simple Writing System banner in the right column and opt in for the course.
If you have done it, please post your three…Read more

I figured I’d mention John Sonmez from Simple Programmer.
Not a programmer myself, but he has courses and very specific knowledge on how to market yourself as a developer.

John Carlton’s Best Ads: The Accidental Discovery
Golf is one of those golden markets that is clearly targeted...and populated with people who have an irrational passion for the sport. They don't bat an eye when I address them as "golf nuts" (which I frequently do). They glorify in their passion. They are so...
John Carlton’s Best Ads: World Famous Street-Fighter Will Give You A FREE GUN
This piece has mailed as a letter and run as a magazine ad for over seven years. It's a prime example of ''in your face' muscle writing-- it literally asks you to find a large friend, and have him point the gun at you and squeeze the trigger. It's not a "nice" ad....
John Carlton’s Best Ads: A Special Notice
I always load up my ads with urgency. You never want to let your reader think she has the luxury to put the copy aside and think about the offer. World-class salesmen know that letting the prospect "think about it" will kill the sale. Here is an example of piling...
John Carlton’s Best Ads: Final Notice!
Another simple tactic to get extra readership out of an ad, without changing another word in the main copy. The "look" of the words "Final Notice" is important, too. It looks like a real stamp, and the ink is red. It is stamped off-center, so it appears to have been...
