The Doberman Dan Letter

I thought about subscribing to his newsletter last year.. So I am subscribing to this thread to see if anyone answers your questions.

Yes, I subscribe to the Doberman Dan newsletter. I don't think doubling the price is a marketing gimmick since he has talked about that several times in the past.

His newsletter is a mix of rant, his experience, and how to do better with Direct Marketing much along the lines of a long monolog. Personally, I like the rants the best since he puts the way I feel about a lot of things in much clearer language . But the information he provides is something I don't hear very often. I even (gasp) learn things I didn't know about before.

But it also includes access to the membership page (at least it did when I joined about a year ago), and that has a lot of useful information and recordings of past monthly webinars, Q&A sessions, bonuses, supplemental material for some of the newsletters, etc.

Is it worth the $50.00/month? For me, absolutely, as I think having access to anyone at the top of their game is worth that (and a lot more.)

Well, okay, if you aren't going to do anything with the information and just looking for more material for your bookshelf, it *might* not be worth it.

Why "might"?

I find it relatively uncommon not to be able to apply something I learn in one area to another area. But that depends on the person.

For me, he opens my eyes to a lot of possibilities I would not have seen without the newsletters.

Hope that helps.

Doberman is a personal friend of mine.. his knowledge of direct response is top tier.. he built from scratch a private label supplement company which he later sold all using direct response..

for a small time Doberman lived in Costa Rica.. and also for a period of time Gary Halbert came and stayed at his apartment.. together they were working on a dozen different campaigns.. and papers and ads and copy were all over the place..

when Doberman moved to florida I house sat for a bit during his travel.. when he asked me to ship his stuff to florida.. while packing a accidently dropped a cardboard box that opned and what fell out was piles of ads and successfl sales letters with notes and post it notes.. I was like in Direct response HOG heaven..

I took it all and made a complete copy of EVEYTHING.. over 1000 pages.. cost me a few hundred just to copy this.. but it was MINE... ALL MINE..

so you asked if $50 per month was worth his newsletter

HELL YES!!!!!

Thanks Marvin, bluecoyotemedia, and RRG!!!

Whelp, I took your advise and just signed up (about 5 minutes ago). So far so good!

Marvin, the membership page is still there with videos, examples, etc! I can't wait to get my first issue (is it all Dan writing, or does he have guests articles, too?)!!!!!!!!

Jake, I hope the other Warriors helped you! Note: I was on the fence about signing up, Marvin, bluecoyotemedia, and RRG just pushed me over.

double D is the man

Well, you guys were right!!!

Got my free bonuses from Doberman Dan and the June 2014 issue of The Doberman Dan Letter! It's definitely jammed packed with info... and Dan gives quite a few laughs throughout the issue. ha

Thanks again, guys!

I'm going to be listening to the CDs to and from my office! Listened to a little bit already (little teaser on my computer) to see what they're all about.

I'm a fan of gold nuggets! :-D

Hmmmmm...interesting thread for sure! Thanks, guys! Having gotten a copy of Passive Print about starting your own newsletter, this is a good read! Appreciate the info! Now off to the presses.. ; 0. Kristie Chiles from Georgia

Another good thing Dan offers is what he calls his "cattle call"
That's where he invites you to submit your own salesletter for him to
submit to several of the largest marketers.

First, he reviews it. If it passes his criteria, he then passes it on to his marketing friends.
Marketers like Agora, Bottom line etc.

Could be your chance to break into the big time!

A lot of these guys with so-called 'original' ideas mostly get them from older marketers, the Gary Halbert letters are free online and have inspired a lot of imitators - your Frank Kerns and the like troll through public domain sites dredging up direct response copy from the 1920's/30's/40's/50's and re-hash it into modern language and idiom. There is not a lot that is new.
