Well, it’s finally happened: Internet Marketing has its own version of "American Idol". It’s Russell Brunson’s "Online Marketer of the Year Awards".
And I’ve been nominated. I didn’t ask for the nomination (that came from one of my peers). But now that I’m "in", I have a favor to ask…
I need your vote.

3 Links Worth Clicking
Tom Peters: “I am unalterably opposed to ‘kid leashes’, and especially when the situation is as I described it. “
Seth Godin: “Often, more effort goes into circumventing a system then it would take to just do a great job in the first place…”. This makes me think about an experience I had at McDonald’s (yes, [...]
Discover Top Experts on Copywriting Principles
If you’re just starting your library of copywriting books, there are four books that I recommend to get you rolling. Each of them is relatively short. The first two are easy reads and the second two are a little bit more difficult for modern readers to get through, but they are worth the [...]
5 Reasons Why I Blog
Ryan Healy tagged me with this meme: “5 Reasons Why I Blog”. I read Ryan’s blog on a regular basis, and I appreciate him including me in the fun.

Breaking Through Writer's Block

However, the same could [...]

Do Copywriting Templates Work?
There are a number of products available that offer copwyriting “templates” (which most take to mean “fill in the blanks”). Do these templates work? And are they a cost-effective alternative to hiring a copywriter (or becoming a better one)?
Don’t you already know the answer? Templates are not a substitute for good copywriting. However…
They are a [...]
Short Sales Copy For Expensive Seminar
Fortin has cause a big stir with his report on “The Death of the Salesletter”. Get it. Read it. It’s not a come-on for something else, there’s no “squeeze page”, and no “hidden launch” of some other product.
I agree with most of what Michel has to say in that report.
Want to see some very short [...]
