Time's getting short, and if you haven't already applied for the Breakthrough Copywriting Seminar in Las Vegas next week, now is the time to decide.
Here's what I'd like you to think about:
1. Your ability to write powerful, compelling copy will make a HUGE difference in your business and your life. It has for me and for everyone I know who has learned how to sell with the written word.
Many of the world's best-known copywriters and I trade emails and talk on the phone. I also know people you've never heard of who have mastered this all-important skill.
What separates us from everyone else is an inner knowing, a quiet sense of self-confidence, and the reality of financial security that I can't even begin to describe. That's an important reason for you to consider grabbing one of the remaining seats at our small-group workshop:

2. We have some new developments about the seminar:
* Everyone is allowed to bring a partner as part of their registration.
* A number of superstar copywriters and marketers, including Carl Galletti, Brain Keith Voiles, and Peter Stone, as well as others, will be there as adjunct faculty. We'll all be working with students personally. This will be your only opportunity to get access to this level of copywriting expertise one-on-one immediately.
* If the tuition is a problem for you, we have a payment plan available. One of our staff, or I, will be glad to go over that with you on the phone after you've applied.
3. The tuition, however, is in fact a drop in the bucket compared to what you can make with just one good sales letter. That's true whether you're writing copy for someone else, or for your own business.
4. Finally, networking. You can have all the skills in the world, but the real value starts to pile up in your world when you have other connections. And for some reason, the only place these connections seem to originate is in seminars like this.
One world-famous copywriter confided to me on Friday that if it weren't for the endorsement over a decade ago by an even more famous copywriter, he would have ended up doing something else. (And last week, this superstar made about $50,000 for a series of emails he had written the week before.)
My own story: If I hadn't gone to a certain seminar in the early 90s, I wouldn't have met yet a different copywriter (whom a major newsletter publisher says is on his way to becoming the best copywriter in the world)... ... and if I hadn't met this guy, I can assure you I wouldn't be writing you today.
Third example, on Friday, yet a third copywriter, low-profile (but if you've ever paged through an airline magazine, you've seen his multi-million-dollar direct-response ads)... he emailed me and asked if I would talk to one of his clients about doing a lucrative joint venture in one of my areas of specialty.
Why am I telling you all of this?
Because, once you know what to do and how to do it, no matter how hard you work, no matter how skilled you get, no matter how talented you are... ... it's not enough for success.
The way things REALLY work is you need to have other people who believe in you, refer business to you, ask you for advice, and most importantly give you the advice that only comes from experience.
Advice that comes from THEIR experience.
At the "Top of the Mountain."
I can barely believe the world-class team of presenters and adjunct faculty who have agreed to come to this seminar. Only one person I invited to speak said no, but then he suggested we do a phone interview (which will be worth more than the seminar by itself because of the money his insights can make for you)...
... and provide it as a free bonus CD to people who attend.
I guess it's because we all know the power of networking, and we're willing to help others move ahead the way we have.
The roster of students so far is equally impressive. Top producers in sales. People from all over the world. A retired multimillionaire. A retired M.D. (in his 40s) who has a booming business at the cutting edge of supplemental nutrition. And the list goes on.
If you're a copywriter -- and we have copywriters coming as students, too -- this is a chance to rub shoulders with people who can network you to a whole new level of success.
But enough. By now, you know if this is for you... or not. If it is, apply while there's still time. Hotels are filling up fast, as February 18 - 20 is a holiday weekend.

P.S. A number of people have asked me if CDs or DVDs will be available. I haven't decided yet. But in light of what you just read about the importance of making personal connections at the seminar, don't equate getting a recorded version with the value of being there. If you want "the whole enchilada," apply now:

If I were starting all over in copy, this seminar is the one thing I would do to blast-off my career!
Go!
