My point is
Having The Masters Program is like having these folks and the dozens of all-time great copywriters from every era theyve studied and emulated from over the years right by your side feeding you all the crucial secrets that can take your copy, and your career, to the very highest level.
And with The Masters Program v3.0 weve raised the bar even higher.
Let me tell you a little about it and some of the master-level secrets youll be learning as you work your way through this fun and exciting program.
First, weve divided The Masters Program into six distinct Modules so its easier to follow:
Module One covers Writing Concepts. The interesting thing here is that a lot of people new to the program assume a Masters Program on writing is about writing more sophisticated copy.
It isnt.
In fact, the entire purpose of this section is to simplify your writing and having you communicate to your reader one idea at a time in short sentences in a calm and conversational tone.
One of the most important concepts youll master early on is Mark Fords Rule of One the idea I told you about earlier that every successful promotion has at its core one single and strong idea. (Ordinary copywriters tend to write about many things, which only waters down copy so it becomes far less effective )
Thats just one of seven powerful Masters techniques youll learn about effective writing in the first Module
Module Two covers the Principles and Structure of Selling and how you incorporate high-level selling skills into written copy and video presentations.
For example, over the years, weve studied all the great mail promotions and all the great Internet promotions. All of them, without fail, adhere to the principles of The Four-Legged Stool the four things every successful promotion needs to have working, always. If one of those legs is missing the package becomes far less stable. Take two of those legs away and your sales letter cannot possibly stand.
I know Master Copywriters who still have each of the elements of the four legs of the stool taped to their computer screen so theyre always mindful of this idea when theyre writing. In this section of The Masters Program, we delve deep into this core Masters secret with audio, video, and via the written word. If youre going to be an A Level copywriter, you must understand this concept.
Its one of six very important ideas on selling that all Master Copywriters know.
Module Three is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. Its called Crafting Great Sales Letters and its jam-packed with high-level secrets for writing the most compelling copy possible. One is the secret of the Core Complex, an advanced technique for reaching your prospects on a much deeper emotional level.
When you can do that when you can talk to your reader about what he or she really wants outside of the realm of fear and greed youre able to establish a relationship with your reader built on trust and mutual respect. Your credibility soars. The perceived value of what youre offering goes through the roof. And in the end, the likelihood of a sale is as much as 10 times greater.
Module Three is where youll learn seven very powerful Masters secrets for engaging your reader like no average copywriter can.

People like David Ogilvy who created The Man in the Hathaway Shirt campaign, which some would argue is still inspiring copywriters today as the forerunner to Dos Equis beers Worlds Most Interesting Man commercials Gene Schwartz who was a master of the down and dirty direct-mail genre and was the first to truly understand the relationship between the product, the prospect, and you, the copywriter Dan Kennedy, who is not only a Master Copywriter, but also an expert at self-promotion and getting and managing clients plus 19 others who have all left indelible marks on our industry.
