Review
Until a few months
ago, Michael Masterson was a completely new name to me. Of
course I don’t know all copywriters in the English speaking
world, but I think I have a fairly good overview over some of
the leading names. So you can probably imagine my surprise
when I discovered that Michael Masterson is considered to be
one of the World’s absolutely top-copywriters. At least it
seems to be a fact that he has been writing some very
successful sales copy and earned a considerable amount of
money through his writing skills.
In his “Accelerated Program for
Six-Figure Copywriting” Michael Masterson (and a few other
co-authors) shares with his readers the copywriting techniques
that has made him so successful. After having read about
Michael’s course, I discovered that it has received some
raving reviews from other marketers, copywriters and
entrepreneurs.
Actually, another top-copywriter, Robert
Bly, calls this course for the “…the best correspondence
course for copywriting I have ever seen – in fact, the best
copywriting course I’ve seen anywhere, in any form. Anyone who
wants to get into direct response copywriting would benefit
enormously from taking it.”
So, I was pretty much “warmed up” for
this course, and I was excited to see whether it was actually
as good as other people said.
What I found was a very detailed course
on copywriting – actually it’s one of the most detailed
copywriting courses I’ve ever seen.
Michael Masterson and his friends cover
all the steps you need to take to begin writing your own
order-pulling sales letters and ads.
- You’ll learn how to…
- write attention-pulling headlines
- start your sales letter
- keep the attention of your reader
- structure your sales letter
- how to get testimonials for your
product
- etc., etc.
You really get a lot of valuable
information in “Accelerated Program for Six-Figure
Copywriting”.
And Michael Masterson and his friends
don’t just cover copywriting. In addition to sharing their
copywriting techniques, they also share a lot of important
information you need to know if you want to make it big as a
copywriter – such as, for example, how to find a format for
your sales letter, your envelopes etc. that’ll maximise your
chances for getting your sales letters read.
This last point is extremely important.
You know, you may have the best sales letter in the world, and
you may send it to a highly targeted group of people. But if
no one opens your envelopes, you won’t sell anything.
In “Accelerated Program for Six-Figure
Copywriting” Michael Masterson and his co-authors show you
exactly how to package your sales letters for maximum
exposure. Everything is illustrated, so you aren’t left in the
dark.
Another very commendable part of
“Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting” is the
section on how you can start your own successful career as a
freelance copywriter. This is a very valuable part of the
course, and you get a lot of insider tips here. I’ve read a
lot of other books on copywriting, but I can assure you that
this is a subject that most other authors don’t cover. This
course does, and it does it well.
All the way through the course, you get
assignments that’ll help you really digest the information in
the course.
So often, you’ll see a product being
announced as a ‘course’, but in reality it’s just another
book. A good book maybe, but a book nonetheless, not a course.
“Accelerated Program for Six-Figure
Copywriting” is a course in the true sense of the word.
In “Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting” you’ll
learn exactly how to writing salivating sales copy, both by
reading the manual and by going through the assignments.
“Accelerated Program for Six-Figure
Copywriting” has an excellent table of contents that makes it
easy for you to locate exactly the information you need for
reference.
In addition to the main manual you also
get – as a bonus – an extremely valuable big manual filled
with some of the most successful sales letters ever written.
As you may know, such a collection of successful sales letters
is called, a swipe file.
Robert W. Bly, whom I’ve already quoted,
has the following to say about this swipe file:
“It took me 5 years to build a swipe
file that was really valuable to me. Your Hall of Fame book is
like that swipe file only 10X more valuable. These letters are
classics and big winners. Every copywriter should read each of
them at least 5 times.”
And I agree, this collection of sales
letters, “Hall of Fame”, is an incredible valuable resource.
Not only do you get all the sales letters. In addition all the
sales letters are commented upon (by the editor of the book,
John Forde).
Finally, there is one more point I’d
like to mention. I’m talking about the look of the
“Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting” course.
Seldom have I seen a course that’s packaged so professionally.
It really looks good, and it’s a pleasure to hold in your hand
and read. I know it’s just a minor point. It’s the information
in the course that’s most important. But it just adds to the
overall positive impression I have of this excellent course.
Summary
This course is simply one of the best
copywriting courses I’ve ever seen. It fully lives up to my
expectations to a copywriting course.
The course is very detailed, and you get
everything you need to go out and write your own order-pulling
sales letters.
Michael Masterson is obviously one of
the cleverest copywriters today, and it’s a pleasure to see
how he reveals his copywriting techniques and methods in,
“Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting”.
I give this copywriting course my
highest recommendations.
