Howdy to all you “Rebels”
Here’s a challenge for y’all.
I’m from 6 generations of Southern Rebels and I created a web page for Southerners to show their pride in their heritage and to preserve it’s history for future generations.And who also understand that standing up for the Confederate flag is only about honoring the valor and bravery of…Read more

Hi everyone,
I joined today and I’m happy to be here.
I’m building an email list to practice what I’m learning through various copywriters.
I joined the club because I want to learn from the greats and John Carlton is at the top of what I’ve researched and read.
My current issue would be about article structure.
Should I use the AIDA…Read more-
If the blog posts are review-type posts then they shouldn’t be written like sales letters. There are a lot of examples of them online. Just google “best (product)” (where ‘product’ is the name of the product being reviewed) and you will see a lot of review sites. They are positioned as unbiased reviews of competing products, but obviously most…Read more

@virginia-drew
Hi Virginia thanks a lot for your comments about the Camtasia. I’ve had compassion for pretty a long time yet you told me a few things that I didn’t know and I appreciate that. -

Hi everyone, new here.
Question, can someone tell me the difference between the simple writing system and the express?
Thanks
-
Express is basically a free express version and it’s definitely worth going through a couple of times. I haven’t done SWS yet but there were many things I took away and implemented just from express.

I just went through it.

The Express Course is basically the first couple of steps of the Simple Writing System.

Hi all,
I am a freelance content writer.
I bought John’s course and was delivered an e-book. Is there a way I can download it to my kindle? Reading the book on the phone/laptop screen is slightly inconvenient.-
Hi Prachi: The manual is in PDF format, which can be read by most Kindles. There is a download button on the upper right of the PDF player. Just download it and then upload it to your Kindle. There is an article that explains how to do it here: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/read-pdf-microsoft-word-documents-kindle-device/

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...
There are many other ways to get the word out. One thing you could look into is using native advertising networks (ie Taboola) which aren’t as particular about the content of the ad or the theme of the landing page.
Your niche is very passionate, so use that to your advantage. You should be able to get a lot of traffic using free methods.
