Harlan,

For the sake of any other copywriters (sorry, not me) thinking about entering...

What niche?

Type of product or service?

When's the entry deadline?

Good luck,

Mike

  Thanks everyone.
  
  The responses from the people who submitted fell into three categories:
  
  The pathetic
  
  The Worth Mailing
  
  The wonderful
  
  Unfortunately, most were pathetic and did not follow directions. Somehow they got the idea that with no connection to a list you could write a few lines and just hustle them into buying.
  
  The worth mailing got tested but no sales.
  
  And finally, the wonderful.
  
  It's out today and we'll see how it does but I'm assuming we have a winner.
  
  I'll share it with you tomorrow.

  I think I just got this in my inbox, if it's for Just 4 Minutes.
  
  Looks good...However, your other emails come directly to my inbox, but this one was flagged as spam. Not sure if something in the copy set it off?
  
  Thanks

Oh wow, I forgot about this contest and never submitted my entry in time.

But I did get a chance to see 4 of the entries that hit my inbox... Only 1 of them was halfway decent. The others were pretty bad. I think I missed out on some easy beer money.

So Harlan, did any of them actually sell anything?

  The winner was Angie Colee.
  
  She wrote really good copy that converted for me.
  
  I'll be using her email regularly.
  
  Thanks Angie.
  
  And in addition to the money I promised, I'll be happy to gift you a copy of my Value Based Copywriting set so you can double, triple, or quadruple your rates.
  
  Please PM me your paypal address.
  
  Great work.
