My copy's sold millions: here's a quick tip

I agree.

I prefer Velcro underwear. That's my secret to making a trillion dollars with my sales writing while relaxing in bed.

I prefer to write in the quiet. No music, no background chatter, as little noise as possible.

The thought of writing in a public place doesn't appeal to me in the least.

Hey Ken,

Long time, no talk.

I've tried writing free-hand but I can't write as fast as I can type because of an old thumb injury from my past massage therapy career.

Do you ever write to music? I find headline writing goes a lot faster with fast music for me, although there's been times where I use instrumental (sax, guitar) stuff to get on a roll with writing body copy.

I do find that the more relaxed I can be when I try to write, the easier the words flow.

Take care,

Mike

P.S. Some background for those of you who aren't familiar with the OP....

When I first started online in 2004, I discovered Ken Calhoun through Cory Rudl's training (R.I.P. Cory) as one of Cory's most successful students, pulling down six-figures every year from in the late 1990's through the present day.

Ken was very kind to me as a new online marketer, pointed me in the right direction with deadly accurate advice (everything he ever told me has always worked) and I owe a lot of my early success online to me.

The biggest help he gave me though was in copywriting.

Case in point, when I asked him who was the best online copywriter to study at the time (early 2004) he introduced me to Michel Fortin. About 4 months later, Fortin wrote the salesletter for Traffic Secrets 1.0 which was the first product launch in IM niche history to produce over $1 million in sales during the first 24 hours alone.

It was studying Fortin's training materials and multiple 7-figure winners that helped me hone my copywriting skills enough to be ready to start writing copy professionally.

Ken was one of the first guys online doing infomercial style video salesletters in non-IM niches as well. He's been doing them very profitably since the mid-2000s with ZERO affiliates. A number of his video scripting "tricks" I've used in writing my own VSLs and they've worked beautifully. And no, I'm not going to reveal what the niches are. Do some research and you might find a few of them.

Ken's honest about the type of money he's made online because he wants people to get that he's coming from a place of authority and knowing what the hell works. His "money talk" might rub some folks the wrong way but that's their hang-up IMHO. You'll be hard-pressed to find other marketers with a track record as long as his and a depth of knowledge on copywriting, video, and scriptwriting too.
