Hi everyone, I’m Vicki in New Zealand. I have been involved with Marketing (mainly in admin/co-ordination roles) for most of my life but my very new job where I was employed as Sales Support as now morphed and my awesome, weirdo, but amazing at Marketing boss now wants me write all new copy for the hunting apparel that we sell along with all our…Read more

Hi John,
You mention taking a speed-reading course before your library binge back when you were getting started.
Do you remember the name of the course? I’d love to find out if it’s still available.

It was the Evelyn Woods course. Not sure if it’s still out there, but it was the main go-to program at one time. JFK’s entire administration took it.
I don’t speed read anymore, however. I do devour some books using the general tactic, which focuses on examining a book logically, by reading the table of contents, the introduction and forwa…Read more

I’m finding myself stuck in 2018 (already!) I’ve had some success with newspaper ads (my own product) which can produce front end sales and some residual with continuity sales. I’m stuck trying to figure out how to develop the passive income side of the business. Affiliate mkt? Use my e-book somehow? Figure out how to do a lifestyle…Read more

Hi Grace: Welcome to the Club and to the Simple Writing System Home Study course.
To give you any meaningful suggestions, we would need some more information. What is your current business? What interests and skills do you have? You say your current market is seniors, but most of the seniors I know (and, living in Florida and being what…Read more

Happy New Year and thank you Virginia! I have a memory supplement business. The average customer is likely 72-80. I run newspaper ads, have an 800 number and a call center. It converts pretty well, and I suspect my lack of gathering emails is the call center: they only get paid to sell and not gather other information so I tangle with them…Read more

Hi Grace: A lifestyle blog would be a good idea as long as you have a passion for it. It seems like there are a couple of ways to go…either specialize in one of the areas you mention or just have a “what am I thinking today” type of blog with more personality. It would probably be easier to monetize more of a targeted blog.
One thing I would…Read more

Hi I’m Venoo from Jamaica, happy to be a part of this group and looking forward to going all the way. This is an extremely new territory for me so I’m extremely nervous and excited at the same time. I’m currently studying affiliate marketing as a new career and I definitely want to be a tremendous value to the tribe I will be building.

Make your writing error-free (spelling and grammar) with Grammarly
Sometimes it seems that it is a “macho” thing to do…to not care about the grammar and spelling when someone (not you, I’m sure) writes a blog […]

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...
