Written by David Ogilvy, it’s one of the most famous ads in history for a reason. Let’s take a look at the headline: “At 60 miles an hour, the Loudest Noise in this Rolls Royce is the Electric Clock.” He could have just said, This Rolls Royce is Really Quiet… But instead, he demonstrated the […]
When I started my business, I struggled for months. Each week, I was living hand to mouth. Until one day, I decided to move from a broad niche to a tighter niche… I hit the market at the right time, and everything changed. I literally 10x’d my income overnight (admittedly from a low base) and […]
I wanted to cry. Despite trying everything, my first business imploded. I tried everything, but several months later I was 5-figures out of pocket – with nothing to show for it. How about you? Have you ever tried and failed at anything? Have your clients? In this situation, one of the best angles to run […]
How to attack industry norms in your ads, to win the race against 2nd rate competitors There are plenty of BAD things which are popular, for instance, if you do a deep dive into… What’s really inside many beauty products The ingredients list on popular foods (like cochineal, a type of food colouring derived from […]
There’s a silent killer lurking in your marketing strategy. It’s costing you thousands in ad spend and countless missed opportunities.

Have you noticed the long scrolling sales letter has become less prevalent over recent years? Long copy is dead, right? People just don’t have the attention span they did years ago. They don’t consume enough content. Ha… yeah, right. I had this conversation the other day with a new content marketing client. He said he preferred […]
Some people think it’s strange that I don’t use normal deodorant or toothpaste. Instead, I use baking soda for deodorant, and a combination of coconut oil, baking soda, and Celtic sea salt as toothpaste. But is it really strange? Think about it. Toothpaste contains fluoride, which is toxic and has been found to damage bones and joints – […]
I made a couple of sales this week as a result of a sales letters I wrote about 6 months ago. The system we put in place, took a long time to set up. It was for a specific niche, and felt like nothing was happening for quite awhile. But we had to set up the […]
In the early days of entrepreneurship, I became familiar with a concept called “Operation Moneysuck.” I believe I learned this from either John Carlton or Gary Halbert – two brilliant copywriters. And while yes, it made sense, I approached it the wrong way. I took this to mean was that I should focus on whatever I […]
What makes bland writing stand out from soulless writing? It’s the ability to go out on a limb, and speak from your heart. For instance, I am writing a core story for an incredibly successful entrepreneur who is looking to go into the coaching space. He’s a smart guy. And his accomplishments are huge. Now that’s […]
If you want to create regular, endless content… It’s all about the setup. You see, if you wake up one morning and think “I want to create some content today”… You may sit there thinking… “What the heck am I going to write about?” But if you instead take the time to brainstorm your clients: FearsPains Desires BeliefsProblems Objectionsetc. […]
Whenever you are trying to get a point across, consider doing it via metaphor. For instance, if I was an SEO guy I could say… It’s no good being on page 1 of Google, you won’t get much traffic. Or instead, I could do what Dharmesh Shah from Hubspot once stated… “The best place to hide a […]
