But when I did, all I copied out was Gary Halbert ads 99% of the time. I don't do the coaching thing, there are plenty of good ones out there though.

Good stuff dude...you're too modest! I love your writing, don't care what anyone says. I can learn from it.

But any of my sites like nodogbones.com, copywritinggrabbag.com, affiliatetrumpcard.com (actually, there is no "real" ad there), are game. Secretcopywritingtactics.com is another one -- although I would write it much differently if I had to do it over again. BlackBeltRecruiting.com is another one, and probably one my favorites. Mostly because I used to struggle with phone prospecting when I was in MLM ;) There are more, but since you asked I figured I'd send 'em to you. Personally though, and maybe because they are my ads, I wouldn't recommend studying them. Go for the "real deal" -- those Gary Halbert ads you have. Those are the ones I study myself.

Secretcopywritingtactics.com is another one — although I would write it much differently if I had to do it over again.

Personally, I find I don't always "mesh" with each one, so I try to learn and study from the ones I can "get with" if that makes any sense. Because no matter how many times I read or write it out, if I can feel it then I'm just going through the motions and don't pick up what I need. I also realize there are a ton of copywriters out here sharing good information, but again, I don't "vibe" with them all. They are good folks I'm sure...but time is a premium, so I have to make sure I invest it in those that help me get the most return on my time...the folks I really resonate with. Anyway...I'm getting long winded...but, know that you are one of those "dudes" that I read, open emails from, and take to heart what you say. I'm gonna find more of your ads man....watch me :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('787','Joe Swopes'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('787','Joe Swopes','Good stuff Ben, what I\'ve been noticing is there are tons of \"must have\" ads that everyone says we should have or study.
