There is no such thing as competition. That’s the short version of this blog post. The long version… Starts about 15 months ago… For the past almost year and a half I’ve been secretly taking a “survey” of all 1200+ clients that have come through my copywriting services business. I was looking at things like:… Continue reading

[$100k Challenge Update] Why I Cancelled The Most Lucrative Idea (Potentially) I’ve Ever Had…
I make mistakes. A lot of them. Most of the time (luckily) I catch myself early enough in my mistake making process that I can learn a bunch of lessons and get out early before things get crazy… (managing risk is an art form… and only the paranoid survive…). And this week I narrowly missed… Continue reading
Drooling Zombies, Playing Pretend, And Mind Reading Software
Drool flecked at the corners of his mouth. His eyes crazed with excitement and hunger. Arms grasping and grabbing in my direction. In less than 24 hours a horde of zombies (along with werewolves, ghosts, princesses, pirates, ninjas and more) will gather on my front porch. A scene out of the next “Hellboy” film? Nope….

How To Run A Business Without Begging The “Seven Figure Marketing Bros” (Step 1)
To me begging = lack of freedom. Freedom is being able to do what you want, when you want, how you want. It means working with who you want and how you want. It means calling the shots. And you just can’t do that with JV traffic. Not fully. So, here’s how to ditch the… Continue reading
The Cult Of Copy Hates Me And Here’s What I Intend On Doing About It
There is this Facebook group called “The Cult Of Copy” run by Colin Theriot (an awesome copywriter by the way). If you want to learn about copywriting, join it, just know it runs a little bit like the Warrior Forum meets Hunger Games so brace yourself.

Stephen King Haters Unite (I Reveal His Dark Business Secrets)
So, yesterday I sent out an email about the Great Lord of Darkness Senor Stephen King. In it I said some things about the $40,000,000/year man that caused a few of you to take up your pitchfork and assault my inbox with cult-like protest. Good. Because I wanted to talk more about The King. Look,… Continue reading
I’d Rather Be This Than Good
Stephen King is the man. Honestly. He become one of the richest men in the world by simply writing his ideas down on paper. No employees. No angel investors. Didn’t even need to rent an office. That is hustle on a genius level. But here’s the thing… His ideas aren’t that great. They aren’t that… Continue reading
It’s Time To Rethink The Oldest And Most Hated Profession In The World…
If you engage in this profession (either as a provider or receiver) you can expect to get called names like: “Loser” “Slimy” “Dirty” “Primary reason for all of society’s problems” And a whole host of other uninformed, delusional, and idiotic phrases/names/insults. However, (and perhaps this is the real reason WHY this profession is hated) if… Continue reading
Can Trolls Really Make You Money?
No. Not just a little bit no… but argue-with-me-till-the-day-I-die certified no. Sometimes, as a person who makes their living online it’s pretty darn easy to forget that. Let me give you an example: Yesterday, for some reason, the trolling gods decided to visit me with their vengence. I was getting hammered via email, Twitter, and… Continue reading
When Things Go Wrong In Business
The other day I promised you a video teaching you about the various “proofing mechanisms” that I use in my sales letters to drastically improve conversions for my clients and myself. However… Something happened this week that I need to share with you in this email to warn/teach you so that you can avoid similar… Continue reading
