I did a search on the issue and found nearly all peoples will agree with your blog. How many times have you seen a clever commercial but could not for the life of you remember what the product was? This is a common mistake and usually have to do with the big egos of the creative types at the ad agencies who push for their ideas to hit the air at all costs. You had great positive ideas there.

Hey – guess what? We’ve got still more to give away!

Yep — remember? A couple of weeks ago, we were all trying to figger out what we should call copywriters who are MORE than copywriters … who have the knowledge, skills and tools to go deeper into their clients’ businesses … partner with them … and create an explosion of profits?

… And I said the ONE person who came up with the idea I liked best would win?

Well, I’ve made my choice and I won’t keep you in suspense: My favorite idea is short, sweet, simple and says it all.

When you explode profits in every company you touch you are <drum roll> …

A RAINMAKER!

Unfortunately though, there’s a problem awarding this prize.

See, I told The Redhead we were giving away ONE copy of How to Build a Six-Figure Copywriting Business in this contest.

Problem is, FIVE of you came up with “Rainmaker:”

Namely…

  1. Chick Jabre
  2. Christina Hope
  3. John Gilger
  4. Scott Moody
  5. Marvin (Last name not given)

So you’ve got to help me out here: PROMISE you won’t tell The Redhead … send us your street addresses (care@makepeacetotalpackage.com) … and I’ll have Martha rush your free copies to you (I’ve already sworn her to secrecy).

Plus, everyone who played also gets a certificate that’s good for up to $1,000 in discounts on products in our online store.

So congrats, all … NOW, GO MAKE SOME RAIN!

– Clayton
