What would you ask Carlton?

Kevin Rogers · 03-29-2010, 07:35 AM

UPDATE: INTERVIEW WITH JOHN IS LIVE ON THE BLOG NOW. (LINK IN SIG.)

Hey Warriors,

I'm recording an interview with John Carlton tomorrow. I want to make sure the WF is represented.

So tell me... if John sat down on the bar stool next to you, what one question would you ask him?

I'm looking for curveballs. Something you've never heard him asked before.

Let's have fun, but it's gotta be relevant to copywriting in some way.

Kevin

Nicola Lane · 03-29-2010, 07:42 AM

The first question I would ask is "What question do you thank I should ask you?" or possibly "What copywriting questions would you like to be asked - that nobody has ever asked before?"

My second question would be "Can I be one of your copy cubs please?" :-)

The Copy Nazi · 03-29-2010, 07:56 AM

"Would Gary Halbert, if he were alive today, have adapted to internet marketing technology as well as you have? Can you see him with an iphone, using email or Skyping clients?"

Rezbi · 03-29-2010, 07:59 AM

"If you were to write copy for a martial arts product, as I know you have, how would you go about preparing?

Essentially, how would you coax out a story from your client?"

I'm not even sure that makes sense, but there it is.

Kelby · 03-29-2010, 10:51 AM

What are some good questions to ask potential prospects before writing a sales message? Like, what are good survey questions to better get to know the target market.. what they object to concerning your product/service, what emotional triggers they have, etc. Thanks!

Ken_Caudill · 03-29-2010, 11:00 AM

Ask him if he needs a good ghostwriter.

Tell him I'm available.

Harlan · 03-29-2010, 11:23 AM

Ask him what he sees in this guy Kevin Rogers?

And ask him, how come he ALWAYS manages to launch on a Jewish holiday.

Peace.

MikeHumphreys · 03-29-2010, 12:22 PM

Ask him what he does to get the creative juices and motivation going before sitting to write copy. Does he write copy with music on in the background... or dead silence? If it's music, what's playing that "helps" John write great copy?

Mr. Subtle · 03-29-2010, 12:32 PM

"Do you buy your yellow highlighters by the case or by the pallet?"

Nicola Lane · 03-29-2010, 12:38 PM

Brilliant Question!

Lol!

You still going on about that?

I thought you left it with the copywritersboard.

Rezbi · 03-29-2010, 02:04 PM

Has he got any horses in his stable?

fasteasysuccess · 03-29-2010, 02:18 PM

How about...

What is the best ways to incorporate stories while still being on track soon enough to catch target person and catch interest.

Daniel Sanchez · 03-29-2010, 04:25 PM

Some of these are content based. Some of these are to let Carlton open up and want to share.

Depending on your goal, ask the apporpriate questions. That said, Pay attention: The more he shares about himself, the more he will enjoy the interview.

For better questions,watch George Stoumboulopoulos The Hour.

http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/guests.html#business

He's interviewed lots of unique guests from all over the world and everyone commments he's one of the best interviewers in the business. He has a way of getting people to open up. Go through the archives, find someone you would be interested in watching an interview of and listen to his questions.

Here are mine on the fly:

What's one major thing you keep wanting start up copywriter's to understand but they never quite get? What are most copywriter's biggest sticking point either mentally or in practice of copy?

When you look at the whole process of copywriting, what's the part that you enjoy the most?

What are of your favorite "AHA" lightening strike moments in copywriting, meaning, what are some of your favorite lessons about copywriting and are there any stories about it that you feel comfortable sharing? (might not have time to do this because it could take the whole interview; great to use if you want the interview to continue beyond 1hour

How are some of your favorite up and coming copywriter's that you feel new copywriter's should study and why? What should they be looking out for?

How has your copywriting changed since the evolution of the internet? Why?

Ivelin2008 · 03-29-2010, 05:13 PM

What he would to re-build his business from scratch in 30 days? If he lost all his contacts, all his leveragable assets and no one knew who he was?

He could use only the knowledge inside his head and let's say a budget of $100 bux.

John Carlton's 30 day challenge!

I think that would be great to hear!

obviously he couldn't re-build his whole business in 1 month (or could he?)

but I'm sure he could do some damage..

and I'm interested to hear how he would go about it!

roxstar · 03-29-2010, 05:33 PM

"What's the first step to great copy?"
"What's the last step to great copy?"
"Do you think it's better to work from a formula, or to be innovative each time?"

copyassassin · 03-29-2010, 05:56 PM

How does he project lifetime customer value per client for new products to be released?

Kevin Rogers · 03-29-2010, 07:31 PM

Thanks everyone. Some real gems in here so far.

Keep 'em coming. I'll check back tomorrow before making my final list.

(Special thanks to Danniboy for the Stoumboulopoulos tip. Just watched part of the AJ Jacobs interview. Great stuff.)

Kevin

Kevin Rogers · 03-30-2010, 06:23 PM

Hey all,

The interview with John was incredible. A LOT of your questions made it in.

(Turns out he sneaked a peek at this thread before the call. He was throwing out replies to some of your questions before I could even get to them.)

John dove into the deep end on...

-- His worst personal habit...

-- His early career ghosting for Jay Abraham and writing fulfillment packages for Bencivenga...

-- How great writers "remove yourself" from the copy (by thinking like the prospect)...

-- Where John leans politically...

-- What stopped him from quitting after his first day working with Halbert...

-- The 2 greatest copywriters most of us have never heard of...

-- Why you should never underestimate the power of "negative motivation"...

-- The one thing new copywriters need to make it as a freelancer (HINT: You can't buy it.)

-- The secret to tapping into your brain's dusty storage files...

And on and on it went. Dude was on fire.

The call even took some interesting side roads into topics like Jack Kerouac and the Beat Era poets, Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, the rise of the Roman Empire, the Dada art movement and Shakespeare's true identity.

Honestly, this is the most candid interview I've ever heard John give. It'll be up on the blog tomorrow.

Thanks again for all your great questions. (John said he kinda misses kibitzing with ball-breakers like Subtle.)

Kevin

Rezbi · 03-30-2010, 06:37 PM

So when do we get to see them?

BrianMcLeod · 03-30-2010, 06:46 PM

I'm buried this week but I'll MAKE time to listen to this, mang - no doubt.

Brian

P.S. I'd have asked him "Super Slinky's or Regular Slinky's"

Kevin Rogers · 03-30-2010, 06:47 PM

Posting it up on the blog tomorrow, Rez.

I'll post a link here if that kind of thing is kosher. (what's with all the Jewish references today?)

Nicholas Kemp · 03-31-2010, 06:58 AM

What words should you never use in headlines??

I know some copywriters will never use the word "learn" in headlines or bullet points because of negative associations the word can have. Learn - hard work, school, homework etc

Ask him for a top ten list?

Thanks

Interview is live guys. (First 15 seconds reveal why John is jealous of Montello!)

Enjoy.

Great job, Kevin.

This interview was really uniquely good... and I've listened to an awful lot of John's interviews over the years.

You guys went into some fun and totally unexpected places on this call and the hour seemed to just wizz by.

Time well invested.

Brian

Kevin Rogers · 03-31-2010, 12:58 PM

Thanks, Brian.

He even surprised me a couple times with how candid he was.

And thanks again for helping me get the audio live today. You're a life saver.

Kevin

Troy Trump · 03-31-2010, 01:11 PM

I've listened to a lot of Carlton stuff and thats the first time I've heard him mention being an introvert (that I can recall anyways). Good stuff!

Bill Jeffels · 03-31-2010, 01:59 PM

Great interview, Kevin.

John reveals some great info. It's always nice to hear the Halbert stories as well.

Take care,

Hi Kevin... I just see links that say "Join My SWS Class...". When I click that, I just get taken to John's blog. Is it there?

I just can't seem to find it.

I hope I'm not having a senior moment here...lol. Thanks for any help..

Kevin Rogers · 04-01-2010, 07:28 AM

UPDATE: I remade the button for you and added big red instructions. If you can't find it this time, see a doctor! : )

Kelby,

There's a blue "play" button just under the bold font line that says:

This is John Carlton more candid and introspective than you’ve ever heard him before.

You're right, it is hard to see. In hindsight I should have chosen a button that stood out more, perhaps something in a black and red. But it's there, I promise.

Thanks for your feedback and diligence. It'll be worth it.

Kevin

Listening to it now.. sounds good so far!

What words should you never use in headlines?? I know some copywriters will never use the word "learn" in headlines or bullet points because of negative associations the word can have. Learn - hard work, school, homework etc Ask him for a top ten list? Thanks

I've listened to a lot of Carlton stuff and thats the first time I've heard him mention being an introvert (that I can recall anyways). Good stuff!

UPDATE: I remade the button for you and added big red instructions. If you can't find it this time, see a doctor! : ) Kelby, There's a blue "play" button just under the bold font line that says: This is John Carlton more candid and introspective than you’ve ever heard him before. You're right, it is hard to see. In hindsight I should have chosen a button that stood out more, perhaps something in a black and red. But it's there, I promise. Thanks for your feedback and diligence. It'll be worth it. Kevin

I completely forgot I had noscript for FF turned on globally. It blocked the JS player and I didn't see it. I was looking for a text link. My bad man... Listening to it now.. sounds good so far!
