  • Extremely Powerful!!!
This book is Truly Amazing. I'm not a copywriter. Never intend to be one. I'm in the speaking/training business, and I needed some material that would teach me how to write successful copy. Since I have to do my own marketing, I needed something that would help me right away. Plus, I didn't want to lose any more money buying books to teach me about copy writing that simply DID NOT WORK. I have bought a couple that were a total loss of my money. I won't mention the names of the books because I don't want to offend anyone. But I will say this about this book (and by the way, this is my FIRST review for any book I've bought), if you're looking for a method that is VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND, FOLLOWS A LOGICAL PROCESS THAT WORKS, and is GUARANTEED TO GET YOU RESULTS, then you owe it to yourself to BUY THIS BOOK. I just wish I knew about this book BEFORE I wasted my money on the other books I bought. Joseph's methods are so POWERFUL, I even use them when I'm speaking. I keep my audiences SPELLBOUND. They hang to EVERY WORD I say. Now, just imagine... if people give me their attention to a 45-60 minute speech, can you see what it will do for your copy? People respond the way I want them to respond as a result of the methods I'm using from Joseph Sugarman. I'm VERY GRATEFUL I bought this book. You'll be GRATEFUL too. Buy it! ... show more

  • Great read
Very well written with lots of good nuggets

  • Instructive and easy to read
Sugarman's system is easy to understand and devoid of jargon. Just reading his commentary, stories, and the numerous example ads in the book helps create the base from which to write compelling copy.

  • This Is All You Need
This is hands down the best book on sales. I have read a lot of others and this book covers everything. Sugarman starts off very slowly and teaches you his methods (which are brilliant btw) one by one. In the end of the book, he adds some of his own sales letters as well as others and reviews them WITH YOU. This is great because it is easy to forget the things that you read, this review is needed and really helps you internalize what you've learned. The addition of those sales copies at the end also allows you to see what GOOD sales writing looks like. This makes it easy to learn all the principles in the book. Also, the margins are very big in this book, so you can take a lot of notes. If you're a beginner and want to learn sales, get this book. If you are already in sales, this will be a great way to review. ... show more

It is a fun read and lots of interesting and useful info. A bit old, half of the stuff might not be useful but still interesting

  • Not many books get me excited
It isn't very often that a non-fiction book excites me. Each month I read at least one book on the profession of writing or related topics, and they're all useful - even the bad ones. But every once in a while I read a book that gets my adrenaline going and my mind racing. A book that provides me with that "Ah ha!" moment. One that changes the way I think about a subject dramatically, and for the better. For example, Peter Bowman's "Well Fed Writer" book took my ability to understand freelance writing and what people need to a whole new level. It immediately led to my Permaculture Magazine article, which in turn taught me that I don't really want to write magazine articles for a living, along with a lot of other useful ideas. Kelly Enger's book "Writer for Hire: 101 Secrets for Freelance Success" was another such book, and led to some great contracts and a reputation that gets better with each new client. Sales, however, has always been my weak point. I couldn't sell pocket warmers to Eskimos. I've had to rely on my portfolio and testimonials to secure clients, as well as a solid web presence that no one much reads, but which validates me to prospective clients. But selling myself? I've never been able to do it well. However, I recently stumbled across a book that had a profound effect on me. In the first five chapters, something just gelled in my mind. I was suddenly flooded with ideas, and excited about possibilities, the way only a handful of books have done before. THIS is that book. At almost $13 for the Kindle edition, you can bet I did a lot of reading up on it before I bought it. I had it in my Wish List for a few months, and would look at it on Amazon every week or so, debating it. I bought it a while back when I was a bit flush, but I didn't read it right away. I was in-progress on two other professional books and a fiction trilogy, so it took a while to get to it. And when I did finally get around to reading it, by the start of the 5th chapter I knew I should have read this thing a long time ago. What a difference it could have made when I attempted long-form sales sites! Or when I put my old freelancing web site together (now long dead). If you have any need for direct response sales, even peripherally like I do, I can't say it enough: "Buy this book." ... show more

  • Master of Advertising Tells All
I have been a huge fan of this author's work for a long time. This volume was highly valuable to me, and will be to you as well, if you'd like to get the inside track about how his most successful campaigns came about, some flops, and new ideas you may have never thought of. Good to see him continuing to share his stories. ... show more
