Why My Blog Sucks

There’s a lot of bloggers out there who tell you all the time why their blog is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Some of them even offer shameless bribes to get you there. (Why? If they’re blog is so great, why do they need to bribe you??)

Well, I definitely need to bribe you hardcore to go to my blog. Because it sucks. And here’s why… Continue Reading »

Sad News: Gary Halbert Passes Away

Very sad news indeed. If you haven’t heard, it’s true. passed away peacefully in his sleep on Easter Sunday.

While I never had the pleasure of personally meeting Gary, he’s had a tremendous influence on me and my marketing education.

If it wasn’t for Gary, I wouldn’t have written my first direct mail letter and sold my first mail order product 15 years ago.

My condolences go out to his family and friends, and to you, if you knew him well.

If you haven’t already one so, I invite you to share your insights and thoughts about Gary at Michel Fortin’s Copywriter’s Board, where a thread has been started about Gary.

Life really is too short.

On Family and Business

I’ve been meaning to start a blog for some time, and not because everyone else is doing it or that I feel I have to share my life with the world. It’s really my desire to start and engage a dialogue about a special topic for me: copywriting and marketing.

Now there are many others out there with some of my experiences, expertise, and goals. But there’s nobody else in the world who has all the combined knowledge as me, and has experienced the exact same successes and failures. The same is true of you. Continue Reading »
