KERPLOOEY!
My best-laid plans blown to bits …
Dear Business-Builder,
What a great weekend!
The Redhead and I spent the last few days at The Wentworth Mansion in Charleston, touring historic Revolutionary-War era homes and eating way too much low country food …
Frankly, I had too much fun to write an issue over the weekend. And this morning, with IndyMac going belly-up … Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac imploding … Bernanke and Paulson kicking the printing presses into hyperdrive … and an explosion in emergency projects for my two favorite clients, I simply don’t have time to publish my issue today.
But, we are ready to announce the winners in last week’s twin challenges:
The winners of the “Best Sales Letter” challenge are:
Marcelino Latorre – 1st place
Jim Symcox – Runner Up
And the winners of the “Best Critique” challenge are:
Pat Hayslett – 1st place
Emette Massey – Runner Up
Each of you has won a copy of my Two Hours to More Profitable Sales Copy.
We’ll be contacting you by e-mail to get your shipping address. If you don’t hear from us within a few days, just click here and Martha will take good care of you.
Yours for Bigger Winners, More Often,

Hey Clayton,
I just want to say congratulations to the winners!
Thanks for having a fun contest, blah!
You put some fun back into copywriting…;~)
I remember when I won Ray Edwards copywriting contest, it changed my life.
I now have my own marketing company, and my own hosting company, and life is good, all because I dared to win that challenge.
So, if anyone out there doesn’t believe that copywriting can change your life for the better, I would have to say you are full of blah!
The copywriting lifestyle rules!
Best Wishes,
Jeff Davis Top Gun Copywriter

Congratulations to all the winners and runner ups!
To the winners..your ideas are original and creative. Keep up the great work..Wishing you continued success and inspiration!
Clayton and team, thank you for providing this great place to meet like minded people, express ideas, opinions and grow (learning to think outside the box).
Going back through the entries, with morning coffee in one hand, waking up, children in the background making noises, I avidly focussed on them.
Indeed, Clayton your choices were not easy..there are some talented people out there..that is what is so great about competition. It brings out the best in people..
Thank you Jeff for sharing your thoughts..
As for me, I have aways to go..life is not a destination..its a journey.
Half the fun is getting there!

Hi Clayton,
Writing that sales letter was really fun. But then again there was no deadline, no pressure and no worry about sales, lol.
