Copywriter Mastermind

Welcome To The Copywriter Mastermind Blog

The purpose of this blog is to help copywriters to help themselves to build a successful copywriting business using the power of the Mastermind.

Napoleon Hill, author of the classic book "Think And Grow Rich" defines a mastermind as:

"The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony."

He went on to write:

Action Seminar from John Carlton

John Carlton has finally released the DVds from his Action Seminar in 2010.

Last February John brought many of his top marketing friends together for a few days to create an event which focuses on creating action.

You can see the promotion for the original event at John Carlton Action Seminar and the details about the DVD home study kit at Action Seminar DVDs (affiliate link).

I wasn't there but I have been invited to go to the next Action Seminar in 2011 in San Diego.

 

Copywriting A to Z by David Deutsch

I feel I know master copywriter David Deutsch, even though I've never spoken to him.

David is heavily featured in John Carlton's Simple Writing System videos and I was keeping an eye on his classroom in SWS when I joined in April 2010. I think he was in at least one of the Copywriting Sweatshop DVDs as well.

You can feel the respect that John has for David and his talent for copywriting.

Anyway he has revived his blog over at DavidLDeutsch.com and he has produced a new report Copywriting A to Z.

Short, succinct and highly recommended.

John Carlton On Squidoo

I have just written a Squidoo lens as a tribute to the work John Carlton does training copywriters.

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment there or here.

John Carlton

I will be adding to it over the next few weeks – it’s the best way I’ve found with Squidoo lenses as they like you to regularly update.

As well as including links to John’s main copywriting training programs and my reviews, it will also include videos of John sharing great tips on copywriting.

How to Build a Six-Figure Copywriting Business

I have just bought “How to Build a Six-Figure Copywriting Business” from Clayton Makepeace.

Clayton is closing down his online shop and having a sale of his training resources and I thought that the chance to buy this course $200 off was too good a deal to miss.

• Session #1: Kick Your Copywriting Business into Hyper-Drive!
• Session #2: How to Get Every Penny You’re Worth
• Session #3: How to Keep Your Clients Coming Back To You Over and Over Again – Forever!
• Session #4: Write Better Copy, FASTER … Produce TWICE As Many Projects Every Year … And Get Bigger Winners, More Often!

• Session #6: 37 Proven Secrets Guaranteed to Get You BIGGER WINNERS, MORE OFTEN!
• Session #7: Answers to Your Most Pressing Business-Building Questions

There are some bonuses as well so i thought it looked a great deal if I’m going to work with freelance copywriters in the Copywriter Mastermind.

Referrals For Your Freelance Copywriting Business

As a copywriter, you are well schooled in selling products and services with words.

However I've found from talking to copywriters, marketing coaches and consultants and other professionals that the toughest copy to write is for your own business. This can make traditional marketing methods like direct mail difficult.

A very effective way to grow a copywriting business is through word of mouth recommendations and referrals.

Salesmanship In Print & Video - Personal Coaching

I bought - or should I say invested in - Simple Writing System from John Carlton yesterday because I am eager to improve my copywriting skills and my "salesmanship in print and Video" skills.

What makes this copywriting course special is the feedback from your assigned top writer and even John Carlton as you work through the exercises.

I have written about it extensively on my Online Profits blog (see Simple Writing System and my bonus for buying through my affiliate link - free membership of the copywriters mastermind).

The Master Copywriters Of The Past

If you are a copywriter, have you gone back to study the copywriting masters of the past or have you stuck with the modern masters like Clayton Makepeace, John Carlton and Dan Kennedy?

I'm talking about men like Claude Hopkins, John Caples, Eugene Schwartz and David Ogilvy and the others who have made direct marketing what it is today because these are the sources that Kennedy, Carlton and Makepeace learnt their craft from.

Internet marketing "guru" Rich Schefren has gone back through the classics and put together the Lessons from the Marketing Legends

The Pain Of Your Ideal Customer Or Client

John Carlton is launching his copywriting training and mentoring system again - Simple Writing System - and this time in the pre-launch he is revealing various copywriting ideas in what he calls the Simple Writing System Express.

The first is what your ideal customer or client would say in a bar after a really bad day.

John has asked his followers to comment on the blog and describe this conversation and he and members of his copywriting faculty are going in and giving feedback.

It's fascinating stuff and a great exercise. Highly recommended.
