![]() As you said, we should indeed be students of great
copywriters such as those mentioned. However, when I think of copywriting, I think only in terms of emails and web page sales letters. I often devour the emails in my inbox from marketing masters such as Frank Kern, Stephen Pierce, Shawn Casey, Jeff Paul, Michael Nicholas, Mike Filsame, Tellman Knudson, Anik Singal, Jodi Hans, and many others. They are extremely instructive. I believe in investing the time to dissect and study marketing emails and online sales letters. The master marketers hire master copywriters for both email and salesletters. We should study copy of today's online masters. God loves you. Brent. |

I agree with you here... When an online marketer screeches, it could have a valuable lesson! (I use the word "screech" affectionately. ![]() There are also a variety of "styles" to check out... Some of the online marketers whose stuff I like to pour over are also some of the "old-timers"... like Jim Straw, Robert Ringer, and I love the articles by Denny Hatch. Though they don't come that often at the moment, every new "bullet" by Gary Bencivenga is a must-read. Not-so-old and not-so-new is Yanik Silver, who is always quite creative, and Tellman Knudson keeps his stuff interesting too. (I'm sure there are others I've missed out on too...) Thanks, Brent!

The thing about marketing with emails is that you have to constantly be on your copywriting toes. The art of email copywriting has constantly been evolving over the few short years of its existence. We were all wowed in the beginning by the long copy of breathless prose from the old masters of mail order. But because of the daily bloating of the inbox, the target of our copy yawns as he quickly deletes our carefully crafted emails. A quick glance at that headline which screams "clever copywriter" is enough. We're talking a headline that would have killed, just a few short years ago. Recent studies show that the prospect doesn't even want to be addressed by his first name in the headline any more. Imagine that! Before that, it was an almost indelible rule that you load up your aweber with "First Name." Here's what Seth Godin has to say in his book, The Purple Cow: "Cows, after you’ve seen them for a while, are boring. They may be perfect cows, attractive cows, cows with great personalities, cows lit by beautiful light, but they’re still boring. A Purple Cow, though. Now that would be interesting. (For a while.)" Copywriting, particularly for the internet, after a while can be cow after cow, after cow, after.. and then along comes an email with a purple headline, and a purple body copy...then zing, just like that, a sale is made. God loves you. Brent. |
