The Most Expensive Copywriters In The World

I’m still hearing a lot of talk about this stuff, and I still can’t believe my own damn ears. It’s the kind of talk which is usually coming from the mouths (and the blogs) of broke marketers. It’s the kind of talk which seems to be a constant theme on the warrior forum. (More about this later). It’s the kind of talk which, if you’re the source, is costing YOU big time. So snap out of it, and fast.

I’m referring to people talking about copywriters’ fees.

Product Names That Sell

Heads up people, if you’re looking to name a business, product or service this week, eyes forward, ears open, and pay attention.

The name of your business, product or service can make or break your business.

If you’ve come from a ‘traditional’ business background, if you have an MBA or something, if you work for and ad agency, or if you’re just starting out and you only have TV ads to look to for examples of advertising, then you may well be filled with some very unprofitable ideas about product names.

Take half an hour of TV for example.

Is your marketing a train wreck of Matthew Newton proportions?

I just got back from a quick trip to the US and Canada, spending a week with one of my mentors Trevor ‘ToeCracker’ Crook. And in between drinking and sightseeing, we managed to spend a bit of time on marketing and copywriting. And you can be pretty sure nothing was sugarcoated, and that’s just the way I like it.

We didn’t talk about Matthew Newton, but I’ll explain in a minute where that guy comes into it

Who’s The Boss…A Copywriter Or The Folks Who Give Him Money?

If you’re an up and coming copywriter, this blog post could turn out to be a rare jewel indeed – a blog post worth reading, understanding and acting upon. Please allow my misfortune to benefit you in your quest towards copywriting greatness.

I know it’s kind of a rant, and a long one, but stay tuned, enjoy the story of my misery and learn the lesson: Who’s The Boss? (And if you’re the guy I’m talking about – scroll down to see what I REALLY think)

The Eternal Student

Mate, there comes a time in every marketer’s life when he or she thinks they know it all. They’ve been to seminars, participated in coaching groups, bought all the right products, made some cash, fired the boss, and now the world is their oyster and they get to do whatever they want.

If this sounds like you, you’re probably in more dangerous waters than you think, and I can picture the sharks circling you endlessly, just waiting for a lazy foot to dangle carelessly in the water…
