Q2. How did you discover copywriting?
I’ve been in direct response marketing for about two decades working with powehouse publishers like Weiss, Agora, Newsmax, American Lantern Press & many more. As a marketer for top publishers, I worked closely with copy legends legends like Mark Ford, Martin Weiss and Clayton Makepeace and was expected to write high performing copy… as well as also lead the strategic marketing side of the campaigns such as list management, performance analysis and optimization. That’s what sparked my love for creative development… starting as a marketer who wrote copy.

VSLs, TSLs (sales letters), eComm web pages, emails, new leads, funnels (upsells, down sells, rescue/exit pop ups, cart abandon emails), Facebook & Google PPC ads, mini You Tube scripts, squeeze pages (lead magnets), autoresponders, and direct mail (#10 letters, self mailers).

Q5. What is the #1 lesson you've learned as a copywriter?
Be a strategically creative thinker.
Q6. Who is your favorite copywriter & why?
