John Carlton's Best Ads: So Why Does a Famous Doctor Urgently Need To Speak With You?I still don’t know why Rodale came to me for a letter to the burgeoning Christian health market. I was the guy who wrote their “sex” letters, and […]

Hey, have a couple questions about where to put a main key discovery story of my clients USP.
We have a book landing page (low ticket), course page (mid ticket) and 1-1 coaching page (high ticket).
Should this story be in all sales pages after the book landing page (front end) if majority of visitors are in “her world” through emails, blogs…Read more

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...

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...

You can divide the story(in one place you tell one part, in one place you tell another).
Or you can tell the main story in one…Read more
Thank you very much David.
Expanding then on this conversation…
If they are coming to a 1-1 coaching sales page as a customer whose bought my clients $497 course and/or read her book and been on the email list for months receiving value.
What type of headline/lead would be best to think about here (taking into account their awareness levels…Read more
Max, don’t overthink it.
Use Eugene Schwartz as a guide — agitate problems or whatever if needed.
But try different headlines. Don’t worry so much about what might or might not work in theory.
Better to spend the time coming up with headlines in each category and see how they feel to you, how you would react if you were the…Read more
