Personal Development Copy

by Fred_Acker
10 replies
Can one of you amazing behind the scenes money getters please tell me where I can find a decent swipe file (packaged) for the personal development/self help niche?

I looked.
I googled.
I yahooed.
I even checked that other forum (you know the one where they want to be Warriors but just can't seem to get it right)

I even checked both of my external hard drives.

Now I'm tired, grumpy and... Oh wait, I just need more coffee.

Anyway, a little help would be mucho appreciated.

        For three grand, I can be pursuaded to go into my archives, and have someone handcopy about fifty Nightengale Conant sales letters into PDF format for you.

    The truth is Rick's monetary request would be inconsequential compared to the copywriting skills that would be developed through copying those pages.

    GREAT JOB! And thank you! - Rick Duris

    PS: There's no way these compare to pieces when you include things like booklets, lift letters, order forms and such. But from a comprehensive perspective, this is a mind blow. Thanks again.

      Thank You Rick. I downloaded dozens of these N.C. salesletters. This is really a great resource for the personal development niche. I suggest converting the webpages to PDF files; if you have Acrobat Pro, this is very easy to do, or Google "webpage to pdf". You never know when a salesletter page will be taken down. So download now!

    Or copy/paste into Word and "save as" .pdf.

    Hard form of copy to write... being intangible.

    You'll want to buy and read:

    Eugene Schwartz, Robert Collier, and Christian Godefroy's books
    on copywriting. Each did very well writing copy for the PD
    market selling books. There are some good examples of PD
    copy in "Million Dollar Mailings" as well.
