OY VEY, More FREE Stuff!
Dear Business Builder,
I’ve been upstaged!
Dammit, I wake up this morning and now that curmudgeonly, stubborn, intellectually arrogant bonehead you hear from on Mondays is giving away even more FREE stuff!
Honestly, how can I compete with that?
Advice to Clayton – STOP Googling yourself … you’re going to go blind!
I feel like a bride whose younger, prettier, skinnier sister just showed up to her wedding wearing white. Only in this case, my sister’s a biker in an expensive black leather jacket that just rode up on a bad-ass Harley.
Clayton, I know where you live … and I have a nice friend named Guido who really likes me a lot! I’ll show you … steal my thunder …
Really folks … what’s a girl to do? I need some sympathy here. Slaving away every Friday to bring you good, valuable (and FREE) In the ‘Net Trenches content and he picks Friday morning to post an offer to give away THREE FREE copies of his uber-popular How to Build a Six-Figure Copywriting Business. Sheesh!
And I suppose you’ve already heard about the melee that went on this Monday. Apparently some cyber, blogging gasbag had the unmitigated gall to complain because The Total Package actually offers products for sale. And she calls herself a marketer?!
And then what ensued was a virtual love-feast … 101 comments (nearly all incredible testimonials) from people thanking Clayton for his over 400 articles of FREE content.
Hey, I wrote some of those articles you know!
And now Clayton is looking for even more comments from people in answer to another cynic’s remark?!
And this time he’s willing to give away three FREE copies of How to Build a Six-Figure Copywriting Business, his seven-day course that walks you through his complete process for finding, qualifying and closing the deal with great new clients … INCLUDING THE ACTUAL CONTRACTS he uses … and sells for $299 in The Total Package online store.
And, all he wants you to do is click this link.
And then post an answer to the guys’ cynicism about Clayton, The Total Package and/or his EasyWriters Marketing Club in the most compelling way possible, and …
Then copy and paste your post to the bottom of Clayton’s Monday blog post … and this is required to qualify to win.
If your post is one of the three best – giving the most impressive specifics on the benefits you derive from being a part of The Total Package family – he’ll announce your name on Monday and have Martha rush you your FREE copy of How to Build a Six-Figure Copywriting Business.
That means you have a little less than 3 days to do it.
Well I oughta …
So, you certainly won’t have the time to read an issue from me. I’m taking my toys and going home!
As for you, Clayton Makepeace … watch your back!
Until next week,
Julie McManus

Ms. Julie…
Take care girl…some of them good ol’ boys need the ranting and raving to get it out of their systems….tried the blog thing for my comments and had a hellofa time which was unsuccessful….maybe you can get my comments to the blog…AS I WANT TO WIN BADLY.
Here’s what I think and I’ve written print ads, newspaper articles, industry manuals, copy editing, and most recently am getting into the business of rescuing businesses because three of my friends have two characteristics in common. One, they must not be able to spell the word PRIORITY, because success takes that in innumerable measure, and two, they forgot that to get ahead in business (of any kind), one must rely on a certain degree of allowance from others who have EXPERTISE in your field of endeavor. That idiot, whom ever he may be, hasn’t a clue about either priorities or expertise, and CLAYTON MAKEPEASE DOES! THERE AIN’T NO MORE THAN THAT !! That $66 dollars would be better spent going to Wendy’s and indulging himself in fattening, non-nutricious food, followed by a cold beer than to question one of the cornerstone’s in the business.
Glenn (I’m just another one of the "who’s he" crowd).
