Plus, you'll also get a FREE copy of my advanced copywriting eBook... "The Copywriter's Crib Sheet." Your information is 100% safe, and you can leave at any time.

This is an interview I recently recorded with million-dollar copywriter and Internet marketing genius, Ray Edwards.

Besides writing ads for heavy hitters like Mark Victor Hansen, Frank Kern, Alex Mandossian, Joel Comm, Jeff Walker—and other “household names” in the Internet marketing world—Ray’s also written dozens of radio and TV commercials, billboards, music-on-hold scripts and even corporate training manuals.

I’ve had several talks with Ray over the past several months, and I believe anyone in business—copywriters, marketers, and everyone in between—will get a TON of value from this interview.

Especially if you’re just starting out, and not quite sure how to get started.

Some of the rare secrets revealed in this interview include:

  • Why studying successful ads can actually hurt your copywriting.
  • How to use an ordinary copyright notice to instantly banish “writers block.”
  • A free piece of software that can realistically nab you well over an 80% opt-in rate on your squeeze pages.
  • What to do if you’re starting from scratch online and need to make a lot of money—fast.
  • How to set up profitable online joint ventures—even if you live in a cave with no friends, contacts or business connections whatsoever.
  • A little-known way to build a hyper-responsive email list without turning on your computer.
  • How to use dopey little ad “jingles” to drive thousands of qualified leads to your websites.
  • An almost unknown way to make a TON of money from your email list… without sending them any emails.
  • How to make more profits from your sites by purposely getting a lower opt-in rate.
  • A secret trick (even an “SEO dummy” can use) to almost instantly get top google rankings on any key words you choose.
  • How to use video on your sites for little or no money and without any big learning curves.
  • A little-used “loophole” in the Warrior Forum that lets you quickly add a few thousand cash-in-hand subscribers to your email list—without spending even one thin dime.
  • Why your telephone is your #1 most profitable “tool” for making money online.
  • The secret of getting world-class marketers (with gigantic lists of buyers) to joint venture with you—even if your list is puny and they have no idea who you are.

Ben,

This interview is awesome.

Ray is a genius. The content he gives in this interview is really good.

You should have charged for this one.

Keep them coming, I am learning a ton of stuff. This has to be the best blog on the web.
You could make a fortune with all the stuff you give away.
Most people would not even tell you some of this stuff IF you paid them.

Thanks for sharing,
Tammy

You’re welcome, Tammy.

I’m really glad you enjoyed it.

And I know Ray gets a lot of satisfaction knowing he’s helping people like this.

By the way, I actually have some pretty sweet interviews coming around the pike over the next several weeks.

The best is still yet to come…

Hi Ben

Just had to leave a response after just listening to this interview.

Jesus, my head is still spinning on overload :)

In a good way though can’t believe this one was free :)

Please keep it up

Glad you enjoyed it Phillip, and believe me, I seriously debated whether or not to give this one away…

Hi Ben

Yeah what really got me fired up was the part about the doing your own teleseminars,
I definately going to try and sign up for the teleseminar secrets when I can.

I don’t currently have a personal website yet for my buisness but one is currently in the works hopefully to have it up by the end of summer.

Do you need a website to do teleseminars ?

Phillip Swanson

Hey Phillp,

People have been doing tele-seminars long before the Internet, so I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t. You can always tape it and then, later on after you have a website, edit in your website info.

Ben
