If you study the sales letters of the world’s greatest copywriters ...
Paul Hollingshead ... Michael Masterson ... Gene Schwartz ... Bill Jayme ... Milt Pierce ... Sig Rosenblum ...
You’ll find that -- despite the different selling strategies and approaches used by each of these masters -- there’s one technique they all practice ... and render flawlessly:
The ability to write clear, concise, conversational copy.
Their writing is clear. Natural. Without pretension. It sounds like one friend talking to another ... enthusiastically telling him about an idea, product, or service you’ve discovered that has changed your life -- and can change his, too.
So why am I bringing this up?
The reason is simple.
There’s an explosion of copywriting courses ... conferences ... programs ... and how-to instruction today -- some good, some bad, some terrible.
But what’s happening is that new copywriters are so bombarded by pitches from these “how to write killer copy” promoters -- and get so caught up in the myriad of copywriting tricks and techniques being taught today -- that they somehow skipped the step of mastering the most basic of copywriting methods:
Writing clear, concise, simple, conversational, engaging prose.
As a result, I see over and over copy where the writer is clearly attempting to implement a sophisticated copywriting technique he learned from Michael Fortin, Clayton Makepeace, Doug D’Anna, or Michael Masterson.
But the copy he has written is so dense, dull, stilted, and garbled, the reader can’t understand it -- and quickly loses interest.
How to write better and faster
To remedy the situation, my colleague Scott McDougal and I sat down and created a simple training program to teach copywriters how to master the art of clear, conversational writing.
Now, in our e-book, Conversational Copy, you can learn how to write copy that’s simple, direct, and plain-speaking. Conversational, natural-sounding copy that engages the reader in a warm, human conversation that wins her over to your side and helps you close the sale.

"I received and read many times the e-book on Conversional Copy written by Mr. Scott McDougal and edited by Mr. Robert W. Bly. Now I can write letters by myself. I am very happy about that. I appreciate very much this effective guide." --Kim Khanh VO
