Looking for 'Lazy way to riches' type ready made templates!!

[smak]

Hi Copy Warriors,

I am trying to devise full page direct response advert, the type the old guard recommonded and prefered. That is the 3 or 4 colum mainly text full page ads as practiced by masters like Gary Halbert, Dan kennedy and Joe Karbo. Actually Joe karbo's 'lazy way to riches' is the type of ad. style I am talking about.

So are there any ready made templates for such style ads that I can just plug in the text in the ready made template. I tried using Microsoft Publisher but had few problems.

Are there any ready made tempaltes then anywhere I can source???

thanks in advance.

I've done these sorts of ad - it's an exercise in typesetting to
squeeze a lot of text onto an 8.5 x 11" sheet. I don't use
a template but I do use a PDF layout program to do it.

Hi loren

Your feedback is always great and prompt I noticed.

Can I just check with what you mean by 'pdf layout'. Are you reffering to some seperate software/program?

look fwd to your reply.

I use a software that lays stuff out in a few different Windoze-type
formats - but it publishes to PDF as well. PDF is Portable Document
Format and it works pretty universally. What you see with a PDF
is what you get - it's like a picture in some ways but the actual
text is generated on the viewing computer, typically from a
set of over 100 fonts on the machine, so the format you sent it
out in will be very, very close to the format the reader gets to
see it in. It's very useful for doing stuff that's ready to print
because, as I said, what you see is what you get.

My PDF software is something I can share with you - I have several
viral software programs in development and it's one of them. No
instructions but it's pretty simple to figure out. Runs on Windows
SP2 or SP3.
