2006 - the 700 million dollar man

I earned my skills, often in the most painful
and unglamorous manner possible... but because my
learning curve was such a hard slog, I’m now one of the best teachers
on the scene.

My “Rant” newsletter is now in the
fourth year of being published monthly, snail-mailed to 16 countries all over
the globe (at last count), and considered “must reading” by most of the
players in the entrepreneurial niche of the direct marketing world.

I call myself “the most ripped-off
copywriter on the Web” because it’s true --
marketers have, for years, stalked my ads and
knocked them off for their own sales efforts. And my most legendary
direct mail letters, Web sites and print ads are used as “study guides” by
advanced, super-savvy businessmen world-wide.

I don’t speak at seminars very often, but when
I do I’m usually a featured attraction. I’ve been the keynote speaker for a
couple of Dan Kennedy Boot Camps, the most recent “Big Seminar” in LA put
on by the amazing Armand Morin, and many other major events. (Including
seminars by Carl Galletti, Ken McCarthy, Kendrick Cleveland, and even
Gary Halbert himself.)

My own seminars -- like the notorious “Copywriting
Sweatshop” and the ground-breaking “License To Steal” workshop --
sell out at $5,000 a seat.

My blog (www.john-carlton.com) is read
by vast numbers of people from the red-hot core of the marketing world.

And I could go on with the self-promoting, but
I’m blushing.

Because, you see, I’m actually a fairly shy
guy... who was happy working behind the scenes as the notoriously-anonymous
“secret weapon” copywriter.
