Your Top 10 Issues of Gary Halbert Letter?

7 replies
There's a saying I like: "Information is free, but costly to consume and learn. People will pay for more efficient packaging."

I've tried to pay for The Gary Halbert Letter. For example, I've bought the offline copies of Maximum Money in Minimum Time and The Boron Letters.

Scott Haines used to sell a bundled book of issues specifically related to copywriting. I recently asked if he still sells it, so I could buy it -- no dice. He took it off the market.

So I'm stuck with free, it appears.

Now, I'm happy Bond and Kevin Halbert have made their Dad's letter free online. But in some ways, I wish they would take it down, as people never value free.

Further, what makes The Boron Letters and Maximum Money worth buying even though you could find all the issues for free online?

The answer is the packaging -- Gary specifically chose to cover those topics. The editorial decisions Gary made are what makes those two books valuable. If Gary thought these ideas were his most important - that means something, and is worth paying for.

Is this making sense?

It's the same reason why reading the Drudge Report is valuable, though Drudge rarely writes anything original. It's the same reason why the editor of the New York Times gets to pick what stories are on the front page. "Information is free, but costly to consume and learn. People will pay for more efficient packaging."

Anyway, here's my problem. I want to read the Gary Halbert Letter on my Kindle (you can send websites to your Kindle and Amazon will format it). I have limited time to re-read these, and want to stick only with the best.

So I'm looking for suggestions of which issues to upload. I'm going to summarize YOUR editorial decisions to maximize my reading of these newsletters....

1) What is your absolute favorite issue of The Gary Halbert Letter?

2) If you had to chose to save just five issues before the free version was taken down, which would you keep?


3) If a newbie asked for which issues of The Gary Halbert Letter are "must read" what would you suggest? (Please don't list "All of them")


Thanks in advance, and take care.

PS: Here are my top 5 favorites:

1) Neurological Imprinting
2) Hands On Experience
3) Why Multi-Level Marketing Sucks!
4) The Amazing Direct Mail Secret Of A Desperate Nerd From Ohio!
5) Where The Money Is...And... How To Get It!

    Hands on Experience is one of my favorites too as I've read almost everything on that list so far. Up to "Breakthrough Advertising" and I'm loving it.

    Here's one you may have missed.

    Probably the best ever opening to a Gary Halbert letter.

    It starts with:

    "I didn't have to masturbate to get my heart started this morning."

    LMFAO!!!

    Man they're all great, every single one of them. As time goes by, I find that I suddenly "get" what I didn't get before when I read something on there for the first time.

    I wish they'd have a bunch of Gary halberts friends read the letters and record them. Then sell those recordings on site for at least $197... And have everyone promote the free newsletter through an affiliate link so you get a commission if they upgrade for the CDs... And a rare Gary halbert seminar on DVD as a bonus or something.. (all the legends who record the product promote it too... Can you say million dollar launch... Wink wink)

      Awesome idea Jason.

      If anyone's not heard Joe Polish's Gary Halbert XXX recordings you should check those out. It's 8 tapes (now CDs) of Joe, Gary, and John Carlton - - and these guys reveal all the secrets on DRM that very few of us doing online marketing remember to (or even know to) do. Joe paid Gary $11K for 2 days of consulting and recorded it. It's called XXX because there's so much profanity - - but hey, that's real life.

      Anyway - it's still such relevant stuff! Joe did a session (now an online video) covering Gary's 7 Pillars of Info-Marketing, that's here: CallWithJoe - dot com - slash - 7pillarsvideo.php. Then he did another shorter one sharing other Gary stuff, with a couple excerpts from the XXX recordings, that's here: CallWithJoe - dot com - slash - GaryHalbertVideo.php

      If you're interested in buying the recordings they're 100% money-back guaranteed of course... go to BuyHalbertXXX-dot-com. Here's a YouTube Video of what a lot of marketers you all probably know say about these recordings:

      <video removed> (in case that doesn't show up you can just search joe polish xxx on YouTube and you'll see it)

      Lastly, since I've been mostly quiet on here but gotten so much value from you all I'm attaching the XXX "fast action guide." Enjoy & Thanks!

      p.s. Joe is actually speaking about this and some other totally killer stuff on stage at Dan Kennedy's SuperConference this week so if you're there you'll learn a lot more!

        My friends and I picked this (the XXX product) up at the conference.

        Great Stuff. I went through the transcripts of the MP3's and found several nuggets (of gold) at a glance.

        Best,

        Angel

    I think there is hardly a bad one.
    There are some that are more awesome than others, like THE SUCK, but there's not a loser in the bunch.

    I have the Maximum Money book, and lots more of Gary's stuff in hard copy. I treasure all of it. ...and the time I got to meet him in Orlando in 2002.
