Who Else Wants Proven Advice To Write Super Responsive Ads And Sales Letters... From 44 Of The "Top Money" Marketing Minds Of All Time?
From The Desk Of Daniel A. Levis
Re: Masters Of Copywriting 2009
Dear Marketing Opportunist,
6 MONTHS FROM NOW, TOPS, you could easily join the ranks of the full time copywriters and marketers who consistently bag blockbuster results from virtually every piece of copy they write... Or you could still be scratching your head, wondering why your ads, sales letters, and emails fail to bring back the hoard of cash you crave...
The choice is yours.
What you are about to discover, right here on this website, can make that difference. But what's even more important is the incredible leverage you'll enjoy.
You can attain massive levels of income without employees, without capital, and without the hassles that go along with operating a traditional business, when you have this knowledge. You can chose to live wherever you please, move wherever you want on a whim, and travel extensively without missing a beat. That's how powerful this really is.
Let me tell you the story... For years I made my living in face to face selling. Office politics, bone headed sales managers, the daily commute. The money was great, but the lifestyle sucked. Until one day.
That's when I discovered I could sell things in absentia (without being there). I could send my words, and that was enough. Immediately my life changed.
"Could I have stumbled upon
the philosopher's stone?"
The philosopher's stone is like gold you know. Actually it's even better. Gold is a means to all wealth, but the philosopher's stone is a means to all ends, a universal means.
And it's lying around for the taking.
All you need to do is recognize it, and learn how to use it. It's a common substance, found everywhere but unseen and unappreciated.
Needless to say I made a resolve to learn all that I could about this philosopher's stone. If there was a book on copywriting, I bought it, and devoured it.
And here's what I discovered.
A Single, Simple Secret Of Wealth...
There are no new ideas, only new combinations of old ideas. The same immutable laws of human nature have lurked behind every event, every human action, and thought, regardless of external circumstances since the dawn of time.
"Success Leaves Clues!"
"I love to study other successful people and learn their innermost secrets .
Daniel proves he's better than Dr. Phil, Oprah, and Jerry Springer combined in getting a number of top copywriters to let it all hang out."
David Garfinkel
Editor, World Copywriting Institute
Once you accept this fact, everything changes.
You no longer struggle with creativity, or blindly imitate. Your mind is free to see past the veil of time and circumstance... right to the core of things.
Now you mold and adapt with the greatest of ease, because you've finally found those common underlying threads that have existed all along, hidden from view. It's what Dan Kennedy calls "finding the commonalities".
Flash back to 1924... you're thumbing through the Times, scanning the headlines, when this one jumps off the page and grabs you by the throat...
"This is Marie Antoinette
Riding To Her Death"
You don't know it yet, but just the day before... you met the man behind the headline over a Cuban cigar and a glass of port. It was in a cafe off Fifth Avenue, in the silk stocking district of Manhattan.
At that very meeting, you and a young Bruce Barton both took your place in history... by agreeing to take part in a controversial experiment called "Masters Of Copywriting"...
Of course Bruce Barton and O.A. Owen were just two of the contributors J. George Frederick called in for the original "Masters Of Copywriting". There were 25 in all, people like Kenneth Goode and Charles Addison Parker... all of the brightest minds of the day.
Details are sketchy, but rumor has it J. George worked along side John E. Kennedy at Lord & Thomas in the heady early days of "reason why".
Flash back again to 1906... you're cloistered in the Fairbanks Saloon, sipping fine French Cognac. The gentlemen across the table retorts, "J. George, what do you think of all this 'reason why' propaganda?"
"Oh to be a fly on the wall at Lord & Thomas right now", he stammers. "I've heard Kennedy's latest campaign brought 1547 INQUIRIES... in the first 7 days!"
You choke on your Cognac and sputter... "What is it about this 'reason why' that's fulfilling these men with such intoxicating wealth?"
Kennedy mysteriously disappeared later that year at the height of his success. Nobody knows quite why, but Lord & Thomas didn't hesitate to fill his shoes with another "reason why" disciple by the name of Claude C. Hopkins... at $185,000 a year! That's when $1 was worth $11.
"Is It Immoral To Make
Money This Easily?"
Indeed, what were the secrets behind "reason why"? And how do modern day rainmakers go about "finding the commonalities"?
I'll give you some clues...
The original Masters Of Copywriting text begins by taking you on a fascinating magic carpet ride across the advertising sands of time, dating back 25,000 years to the caves of France, through ancient Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and the Dark Ages... from the town criers to handbills and medieval publicity stunts... from newspapers and periodicals to the coffee house haunts of the first Admen of the 18th Century... from Ben Franklin's "General Magazine", to Bonner and Barnum... from patent medicine and the nostrums to "Printer's Ink"... from Albert Lasker and Lord & Thomas to John E. Kennedy and the birth of "reason why"...
And then you'll discover...
