Hi,

A few years ago I read an incredible piece of long-form copywriting. All I remember was it was selling a "How to make money" book. The book sold millions of copies. The ad was published in newspapers in, I think,. the sixties and seventies.
Please put me out of my misery and tell me who it is. Thanks.

Don

    What do you recall? There were several make money books. Some of those that sold huge numbers were

    Joe Karbo, Lazy Man
    Ben Suarez, Rat Race
    Melvin Powers, Mail Order
    Jerry Buchanan, Writer's Utopia
    Dean F.V. DuVall, 100K in 90 days
    Mark Haroldsen, Real Estate

    Just a few. But help us out, what was the topic?

      Thanks, you were right with your first suggestion, "Joe Karbo"

      His "Lazy man's way to riches" just makes me want to open my wallet and buy his book Its not so much I expect to find a winning formula. It 's more like I just want to know why this guy is so sure himself.

      The killer hook though is his money back guarantee The funny thing is I'm the kind of guy who would never ask for my money back UNLESS the book was total garbage
