How to Write Ads That Get the Sale! - A New Binder...

Just Released: Robert Collier, Eugene M. Schwartz, and Victor O. Schwab now tell you their secrets...

New Collection of Copywriting Secrets by Robert Collier, Eugene Schwartz, and Victor O. Schwab just released!


I thought I was all done, after months of researching and editing and sweating over these old, out-of-print books – bringing these age-old truths back into print.

Then I saw that there was one more collection which needed to be created.

While the Masters of Marketing Secrets series had already been mined for the history of Advertising, and Salesmanship classics, I still hadn't told anyone which were the key books out of that dozen which held the core datums where a person could learn the “rainmaking” skill of copywriting.

That was how this series started. Looking up someone who was as much an “accidental” millionaire as he had any other reason for getting rich, he mentioned that in order to start a home business, you had to have a “rainmaking” skill – something which would bring in the sales.

It turns out they had it partially right – much like the rest of their “home business” advice. (Did I mention he was an “accidental” millionaire?)

Anyway, it turned out to be more than he imagined. That guy learned from some real jokers in the deck. Thought being a “market leader” was being arrogant. That isn't what the real marketers ever said, only some Johnie-come-lately wannabe's.

The real copywriters spoke to people – as close to one-on-one is as possible with direct mail or classified ads. People like Joe Sugarman, Bob Bly, and Eugene Schwartz were the most recent users and evangelists of this real-world approach to selling things.

A little more research uncovered the true mentors who had laid this out at the turn of the last century.
What they said then still hold true – because humankind hasn't really changed much in the last 10,000 years.

Those few books broadened out to a dozen. All from people who had tested and proved the principles as basic, and applicable to any and all marketing and sales.

From this book series, I've created this collection which specifically selected only the books which deal best with copywriting itself. The other two collections which preceded this dealt with the evolution of advertising itself, and defined salesmanship in a low-pressure scenario, which is becoming more the way online sales has trended. (In fact, you'll get banned on various sites if you try anything else...)

This collection is bringing you the best and brightest of copywriting experts – so you can learn first-hand what it is that is required to get sales from every ad you write.

For that is the test of good copywriting – it gets the sale.

The Marketing Books You've Always Wanted Are On Their Way...

Update: Masters of Marketing Secrets Series now published as trade paperbacks.

Masters of Marketing Secrets Series now available in paperback from major retailers.


It's taken some work, which started late last year, just to get these books to you. I've just completed the proofing last night and these are enroute to Amazon, Ingrams, and other retail distributors so you can have hardcopy as well as ebook versions.

You're welcome.

Go ahead and ask your local bookstore to order you a copy. They're published by Lulu, so they should be welcome about anywhere that Indie Authors are sold. For now, the links below go to Lulu, who will print up your own personal version when you order them:


Additional ebook-only books in this series:



I've still got some work to get all the ebook versions actually showing up on iTunes, Nook, and Amazon - but they're coming. Google Play and Kobo have had them for some time, as well as Lulu proper. (See the individual sales pages for links.)

These will be followed by publishing to LeanPub, where you'll be able to get bundles of these books, and perhaps packages with special extras I have "leftover on the cutting room floor."

What's Next?

Despite my best intentions and planning, I've started writing a review of  Eugene Schwartz' Breakthrough Advertising - so there's some access to this data. Each of these Masters of Marketing Secrets books is intended to come out as a free email ecourse. But due to copyright restrictions, I wasn't able to reproduce Schwartz' book straight across - so a review helps everyone out.

Plus, it's part of the reason I took this study up - to learn from the Masters. Editing and proofing these for you is just part of the journey.

OK, it's back to the grindstone for me.

Have fun with this.

More coming.

Why all these books and what will you get?

This series of marketing books is yours because you deserve to know the truth - and they're coming to you in any version you like.


Essentially, ebooks, paperbacks, PDF's, ecourses, and (later) video courses and audiobooks.

The idea is to make it possible for you to have a complete library of Marketing Classics by proven experts - wherever and whenever you want it.

Some like it on their smartphone, or e-reader. Other's like the touch and weight of a paperback - where they can dog-ear and highlight and underline to their heart's content.

We're also going to make these into ecourses with downloadable PDF's so you can study them thoroughly, printing out just what you need. As well, we're on the look out for existing audio versions of these books to link for you (like Librivox does so well.)

As we can, we'll later do video's, to make full courses for in-depth study.

Whatever you like, you should have it your way.

Sure, this is a lot of work.

Knowing and understanding tested and proven copywriting and marketing basics is the key reason and purpose behind all that's being done here.

My own story is that I was studying someone who was (as it turned out) a fake. He did give one great advice - learn to write great copy and you can accomplish almost anything. That guy made literally millions, but could have made more - if he'd only studied the Marketing greats who lived and wrote about what they knew before he was born.

When I did my own study of marketing, this is exactly what I found. The basics of Marketing, like the basic motivations of humankind, haven't changed since before written history started. They've been refined, true. Unfortunately, the vast bulk of the "guru" books out there today aren't based on true basics that work. They are instead based on short-cut marketing gimmicks which only work once or for a very short while.

That is why there is a "latest craze" going all the time - and why people hate advertising and salespeople.

There are underlying basics that these few recent "greats" either haven't learned, or won't tell their own readers about. Once you understand those basics, then the whole world is open to you.

You only have to find them, study them, and apply them.

The finding part has been done. Not that you can't find more - but a dozen books will set you off on the right path. Others will show up for you as you need them. Even in this case, I had to stop and editing additional books into this series because they made a point which supported all the Master Classics.

Right now, I'm busy editing a (hopefully) final book into this series and then will get back to publishing them. The bulk are up on Lulu, Kobo, and Google Play right now. Next will be Amazon, iTunes, and Nook. Wrapping it up with be Leanpub, where you'll be able to get these as one complete set of digital versions. I'll also create some packages for most of the books individually, so you have additional data which couldn't be included in the editing process.

As these books are published, I'll update each individual page for that book so you can get the different versions of each that are available.

The paperbacks are all available on Lulu right now, but I'll be finalizing the proofs so they can ship to Amazon and every bookseller on the planet via Ingram.

All just so you can get the version of any or all of this series you want.

Your welcome.

Have fun with these. I am.
