YOUR OPINION - Which Book Will U Pay Cold Cash For?

[GordonJ]

Funniest thing I read at GTP was a letter from a woman who believed that Mary was strangling an owl...

HA!

This ad, along with several versions of What is this Woman/Man doing sold millions of dollars of books.

As a matter of fact, it was one of Bud's best efforts.

Compare this ad to those in Money Making Opportunities or Entrepreneur, the ones which don't tell you what they are with...

the ones that do, like PACE Products, whose ads have run for decades, or SMC, the ads which tell you what you will be doing...like Lil Orbit donuts or badge a minit...

YOU get what you have to do to make the money...

Back in the day, MOST of these Biz-Ops were blind, and people like the M.O.R.E. people, made fortunes from their less than stellar reports they mailed out.
They, were in the print days, the equivalent (in my opinion) of the Syndicate today in IM.

Anyhow, now you know what I was referring to, but, I'll have much more in my report...and thanks for reminding me of GTP, don't see any good reason why I can't cash in on my time spent there, eh?

If you remember, I was working on a complete library of ads, and accessed all the information, when and where the ads were placed, their costs, how they pulled, the tests that Bud ran on each ad...that surely has some value to a few people...as does the year I spent going through the Ben Suarez/SCI ads in his Seed World room, results of 25 years of testing and the results.

Probably will make that a back end to the BLIND AD report, ya think?

PS. Same ad from DuVall, although, if memory serves, the headline

$100,000.00 in 90 Days

was the control and out pulled this ad and Dean D. too, was an avid TESTER of headlines.

PPS. The Karbo is one of the top 10 ads ever written, IMO, and one thing, perhaps irony, is that when I was talking to Joe, he had not yet hooked up with Harvey Brody to have his list managed, in fact, I believe he later confessed he was tossing out the names...good thing Joe attended the Harvey Brody seminar, he, like Jay Abraham, Ben Suarez, Gary Halbert, Joe Sugarman, et al, learned a thing or two from Harvey, wouldn't you say?

The danger is - you fear that what you'll get will be "crap"... That's because you don't quite know precisely what you're getting...

But - if there's a money-back guarantee - that should probably help overcome the fear...

I gotta say... there is one "blind ad" I can think of which I'm actually a big fan of... That's this one (and the series of similar ads)...

Bud Weckesser was a copywriting genius... I just love the picture of Mrs. Weckesser in the ads... What is she doing????!!!



And here's another famous one (though I don't like it as much as Bud Weckesser's)... "The Lazy Man's Way To Riches"

And here's the Dean Du Vall ad you mentioned (link to the large sized ad is at the bottom), thanks to Lawrence Bernstein...

Gordon,

How about:

So Easy Even A Blind Man Can Do It...

Ooops, were we asked to vote? Can't remember...Hope Ray Charles doesn't see this...Or Ronnie Milsap...

So easy, even a deaf, dumb and blind boy could do it.

May have to update to today's ONLINE gaming, however.

Only problem, today's gamer, at 12, is for the most part, illiterate.

I'd really have to write a blind ad for this one. HA!

Used to play pinball for beers at the NCO club in days of old. Felt like a deaf dumb blind boy at the time

The Headlight Manual also made it onto that forum, same poster. They were discussing a group buy, but there's no way to know how far things get shared. I got at least one sale from the link they posted, so I'm good with that. Thanks to Statcounter for keeping track of that kind of thing.

whew....just happened to stop by for some 'light' reading and see the old Family is still at it...love, hate,fuss, make up ...good Catholic/Jewish environment...love it...
dont have any idea what this thread is about now ...will share with yall what I do when approached by the 'bums' in my area...

I keep a ten pack of the cheap ball point pens in my car...several as matter of fact...and give a ten pack to the guys who approach me...tell em to make a little sign ( as I did one day )...stand by the road ...and make money.
none of them do it...
I did ...for about 3 hours one day
dressed on the side of the road by a traffic signal...blue jeans, work shirt, dirty hat, and sweat...paint on the jeans ..working guy apparel..
cup from the Krystal with pens in it,
sign that said..scribbled..." Pens for sale..$1 each or 3 for $5"
people threw 5 dollar bills at me...told me to keep the pens...
made 200 bux ...and left...learned a lot about people..
most are generous and giving, just get tired of being "begged" for money .
so I quit working, recruited 100,878 'bums'...made $2,987,687...in 4 months...and sold out to the Scientology folks for 1 million cash,and moved to Alaska..

selling the pens is a true account tho ...enjoyed visiting with yall again ..!

Bob,

Is your real name Don Alm?
