“Warning! This Is A Special One-Time Offer. Please Read Everything Below…”

Hi, my name is Big Jason Henderson, and Scott “Mongo” Haines was my best friend.

Sadly, Scott passed away this past January 10th, 2017 in Tulsa, Oklahoma after being on life support for weeks. I was at his bedside day and night all this time when the decision was made by his family to let him go. Scott’s older brothers, Jamie and Brian, returned to Scott’s room and dropped a bombshell on me.

“We want you to take Scott’s course and continue his legacy. Scott didn’t like to talk about himself. So, we want you to let people know what an amazing copywriter and man he was.”

And in the next few minutes, I am (with your permission) going to send you a copy of Scott’s original Shortcut Copywriting Secrets course absolutely free.

Why am I doing this?

I’ll tell you in a minute. But first, let Scott tell you about Shortcut Copywriting Secrets in his own words.

From:

Scott L. Haines

Wednesday, March 11, 2020

Dear Friend,

      If you’d like to have the ability to write ultra-profitable advertising copy… and… you’d like to have it in the fastest amount of time humanly possible… then I believe this will be one of the most important messages you’ll ever read!

     Here’s why…

     As it says above, my name is Scott Haines.  You may or may not have heard of me.  Either way, I think it’s important that I give you a little history of my journey from raw rookie to seasoned pro copywriter writing million-dollar advertising.

     I’ve been involved in direct marketing for over 12 years.  At first, as a struggling nobody… however… for the last 10 years (or so), I’ve been a successful direct response copywriter and marketing consultant.  My journey originally started in college while studying for a degree in Marketing.  However, I want to skip over that because, while what happened there was important… it was not nearly as important as what I’m about to tell you.

     Besides, you can read a little more about me and my beginnings in the brief article at the end of this letter titled, “Who Is Scott Haines?”.

     For now, let me pick up my story in mid-1998 with the amazing piece of “luck” that changed my life.

     First of all, you should know that I was still working for “The Man” at this point… and… living with my brother.  But in my spare time, I was running small direct response projects on the side… having a little success here and there.  Anyway, one day, after a particularly grueling day of work (I somehow ended up doing construction in the middle of the summer), I came home and my brother said, “There’s a message on the answering machine for you from Gary Halbert.”  I thought he was kidding.

     You see, I had written Halbert a letter a couple of months before asking about getting some of his information products.  At the time, trying to get any of his stuff was next to impossible.  So I really didn’t expect a reply, but I hoped.  And I talked about this guy, “Halbert” and making money in direct marketing A LOT.  Of course, I talked to the wrong people.  “Well-meaning” family and friends who mostly laughed at my “crazy” ideas and ridiculed my ambition.

     So, again, I thought my brother was kidding me.  Making fun of my desire to be somebody… to make something more out of my life.  It wouldn’t be the first time.  In fact, by this time, I pretty much considered him a real asshole!  However, I checked the machine, and he wasn’t lying.  I couldn’t believe it.  And here’s what the message said (at least the important part of it):

“Get your ass down to Florida for a week!”

     That was my first introduction-of sorts-to legendary marketing genius Gary Halbert.  In any case, he left his number and I called him back immediately.  Here’s how the conversation went almost word-for-word:

     Me:     “Hi Gary, it’s Scott Haines, you gave me a call earlier and left a message.”

     Gary:  “Who?”

     Me:     “Scott Haines.  The guy in Oklahoma.  Awhile back I wrote you a letter asking how I could get some of your products.”

     Gary:   “Oh yeah.  Hey! listen to this.”

    At this point, less than 60 seconds into the conversation, Gary begins to read me a promotion he just finished for Joe Polish (a Marketing Consultant to the Carpet Cleaning Industry).  Now, I’m a little taken aback by this.  We’d never talked before.  And there was no, “Hey, how are you doing?”, or “Yeah, I remember your letter.” type stuff.  Just straight into reading me a sales letter out loud over the phone.

     Anyway, I’m thinking this is odd but I’m not shocked… yet!

     As he gets into the letter, he begins to talk about going to Brazil to meet hot women, Viagra, and all kinds of other illicit activity.  Now mind you, this letter was written to get (mostly) Mom & Pop-types to attend a carpet cleaning marketing seminar.  Can you imagine Ron and Betty Carpet Cleaner from Des Moines, Iowa getting a letter from a legendary marketing genius who apparently has lost his mind and turned into a Hefner-esque sex fiend?

     But I digress.  This goes on for awhile.  And when he’s finished, he asks, “Well, what did you think?”  I had no choice but to say, “It sounds great!”  After all, this was “the” Gary Halbert.  “The Ace Of Space.”  “The Prince Of Print.”  The guy who wrote one of the most widely mailed sales letters in history (over 600,000,000 times!).  And I was a nobody.  A wannabe marketer from Oklahoma.  However, in my mind, I’m thinking, “Is this guy nuts, or what?”

     Onward.

     The rest of our conversation was no less strange.  He invited me to Florida for a week to pick up some of his products and hang out.  But only after telling me all about how Playboy magazine revealed that South Beach had the largest concentration of beautiful women in the world.  Then he suggested I stop in Oklahoma City on the way and visit some girl.  Apparently because she was some kind of model.  Further, he insisted that one of the conditions of me coming to Florida to visit was I had to immediately call this girl-after we got off the phone-and tell her Gary Halbert said “Hi”.  I did.

     And that was my first ever “live” contact with Gary Halbert.

     But that was just the beginning of the strange and crazy adventures.  That was on a Thursday.  On Friday, I instantly quit my job (sorry “Boss”), picked up my last check, and got on the road to Florida.  Once there, Halbert gave me a copy job that I finished with enough speed, adeptness and enthusiasm that he offered me a permanent job and I stayed.

     And that’s when it proceeded to get even more wild and wooly.  Someday I may write a book about it.  How’s this for a title?…

“Hangin’ With Halbert” The unbelievable adventures of a misfit marketing genius and his-oftentimes reluctant-protégé!

     Hey, it’s at least a better book title than the bestselling Tuesdays with Morrie.  And I guarantee it would be way more fun to read.

NOTE: My good friend and mentor, Gary Halbert, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Easter Sunday, April 8, 2007.  It was truly a shock and he is missed terribly.  Not only by his family and close friends… but also… by the thousands and thousands of marketers he influenced over his long career.  I loved the man and he changed my life forever.  Thanks buddy.

ALSO NOTE: If you knew Gary, you knew that his favorite color was a sort of coral pink.  He painted his cars and boats that color.  So, as a tribute to the man who meant so much to me (and many, many others), I chose his color (or at least a close facsimile of it) for this section.

     But anyway, something like that is for another time.  What I really want to talk to you about today is what I learned from Gary… and… what that means to you and your success.

     As I said earlier, before meeting Gary, I was already involved in direct response.  But I was far from striking it rich.  I was making a little money here and there with my projects, but no where near what I wanted (or needed) to make.

     However, that all changed as soon as I started working with Gary.  My life got radically- transformed forever.  I received a warp-speed, advanced education in direct response and almost instantly got thrust into the world of freelance copywriting.  I’ve remained there ever since.

    The reason being…

Copywriting Has Been Very, Very, Very Good To Me!

     For example: During the last ten plus years my copywriting skills have financed a lifestyle I never dreamed would be possible.  I’ve lived in Miami Beach (at 820 Ocean Drive in the heart of South Beach).  I’ve lived in the upscale Doral area of Miami … walking distance from the famous Doral Golf Course.  I’ve lived in Key West just off Duval Street, and in the Middle Florida Keys.  I’ve lived in Hollywood just a couple of miles from the Sunset Strip.  And, I’ve lived in a $1.4 Million beachfront condo in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

     Another thing… I get up and go to bed when I want to.  A childhood dream realized.  I always hated schedules and school.  Didn’t like to go to bed at 9 or 10 p.m.  I also never liked having a job.  I didn’t then, and I don’t now, like to work every day.  In fact, I work more like part-time… a few days a week.  Sometimes-a lot of the time-not at all.  Basically, with few exceptions, I do what I want to do, when I want to do it.

     And yet, I still make a solid six-figure income year after year working with a wide variety of clients-all super-successful-from high-profile to low.  My client list includes multiple marketing gurus… infomercial gurus… multiple New York Times Bestselling Authors… $100+ Million per year direct marketing companies… all the way down to cutting-edge direct marketers making $1 Million to $20 Million a year with tiny businesses in obscure niches.  I’ve worked with famous Hollywood stars… and

I’ve Even Been A Ghostwriter For Donald Trump!

     I’ve written successful ads and sales letters for information products, hard products and personal services.  In all price ranges… from $19.95 to $25,000.00.  In many fields, from business opportunity… to business improvement… to health… to financial.  The higher-end stuff becoming somewhat my specialty over the years.

     My rolodex contains millionaires and multi-millionaires willing to take my call at any time.  And not necessarily because I’m a great guy to talk to (although I like to think I am), but because of my ability to talk marketing and advertising.  Not just converse on the subjects, but instantly rattle off ideas, suggestions, improvements and copy they can use to boost their response.  And I regularly communicate with many of the best copywriters in the world.

     In any case, I’m only telling you all this to let you know who I am and my “credentials”.  I’m not bragging, there’s no need.  And I certainly don’t like talking about myself.  I’m basically somewhat shy and reserved.  Therefore, I’ve been content to remain a behind-the-scenes guy.  You won’t find me loitering in the halls of the latest, greatest seminar.  And you especially won’t find me touting my wares on the seminar circuit.  I turn down almost every opportunity to become a high-profile marketer… especially online… where there seems to be at least as many marketing experts as there are minutes in a day.

     Since 2003, though, I have opened up “a little” and started to teach what I do.  I started out modestly enough with an online newsletter I wrote and published titled, Killer Copywriting Secrets! and a “how to” copywriting guide/mini-course titled:

The Amazing Copywriting Secrets Of An Adman Who Has To Live By His Results!

     The success of those two “products” (both in terms of sales and the results of people who read them) along with the near constant prodding I received of, “Don’t you have anything else on copywriting?” led me to thoughts of writing a full-blown course.  Which I finally did.  I wrote the course on a month-by-month basis over a one-year period for a small group of roughly 100 Charter Members.  It’s now finished and ready to release to the broader public.  It’s titled:

Shortcut Copywriting Secrets™

A complete, step-by-step copywriting course that quickly gives you the elite-level secrets, skills and strategies needed to write hot, compelling advertising that… is impossible to ignore… forces people to buy… and… can make you very rich, very fast!

     Why did I title the course “Shortcut” Copywriting Secrets?  There are four reasons actually:

     Reason #1:  The insider information in the course can shortcut your learning curve-for real-by at least 5, if not 10 years.  (And in reality, on your own, you might not ever get to the skill level these secrets, skills and strategies will allow.)

     Reason #2:  In the course, you’ll discover many legitimate shortcuts to the copywriting process… that… not only help you write more, faster… but also help you write more persuasively.

     Reason #3:  There are “Shortcut Summaries Of Key Points” at the end of each chapter to refer to and refresh your memory before (and during) each promotion you write.  These are especially useful if you are stuck for ideas or just want to brainstorm how “best” to approach a particular ad, sales letter or campaign.  (I use these summaries to stay fresh even though it’s MY course.  After all, who can remember everything at all times?)

     Reason #4:  The word “shortcut” has great appeal.  Especially in this day and age when there is so much to do and so much to keep up with.  I love it when I find a-for real-better, faster way of accomplishing something.  As do most people.

     So those are the four reasons I chose the title.

     I designed the course in a logical, step-by-step, easy-to-understand fashion.  I’ll take you by the hand from Headline to P.S. (in order) and show you exactly how it is done.  No guesswork.  No theory.  No B.S.  Nothing to work out on your own.  Just clear, simple instructions written in plain English.

     Here’s a “sneak peek” into the hard-won, insider secrets each section reveals…

What “work” words are, how to identify them in your copy… and… why you must eliminate them!  (This separates the wannabes from the world-class.  I can instantly identify B-level and C-level copy from A-level by the “work” word factor.  Why?  Because of the deep-level, critical thinking required not to use work words in copy.  The B-level [and below] guys just don’t get it.)

How to use the “fresh eyes” technique to eliminate deadwood headlines… and… uncover the killer ones!

Five additional books (three, out-of-print) on writing killer headlines you must read and reread… and… how to get them!

     I want to take a brief time-out here to make a point.  As you may have noticed, the first four chapters of my course deals with “how to” write killer headlines.  And actually, as you’ll see in just a second, the fifth chapter deals with headlines some, too.  Why did I do this?  It’s simple…

If You Don’t Get The Headline Right… Nothing Else Matters!

     Nothing.  Nada.  Zilch.  If your headline doesn’t do its job, no one will read a stitch of your brilliant body copy.  That is, if they don’t “buy into” your headline, they don’t read on.  And if they don’t read on, they don’t buy… period!  That’s why I spent so much time on headlines.

Scott Haines’s Hottest Sales Letters Vol 1!” A Collection Of Winners-Responsible For Millions And Millions Of Dollars In Sales-From The Frontlines Of Tested, Direct Response Advertising.

     For a few years now, ever since I released Shortcut Copywriting Secrets™, many course owners have hounded me for a swipe file of my personal, hottest, winning sales letters.

     To be truthful, I’ve been a little reluctant to put one together.  Partly out of laziness, and partly due to the fact a lot of my clients would rather not have their control pieces revealed.

     However, recently, I decided that such a collection of letters would be a great companion to my course… and… that my course is a little incomplete without samples of my writing.  Yeah, there are some samples in the course, but not complete, stem to stern examples with detailed explanations and back story as to why they worked so well.

     So, I combed my files for killer sales letters (ads, postcards, et cetera) I’ve written (ones that I can reveal) that I think would be of benefit to you.  And here’s what I found:

A sales letter for seminar tapes that made $41 for every $1 spent mailing it!

A postcard for a famous guru that beat out 8 other top copywriters… that is… until the guru swiped my idea for another card… retested… and mine lost (by a slim margin).  Further, I was never hired or contacted again by this guy.  I actually lost to my own idea!  I’ll tell you more about this instructional incident in the analysis of the postcard.  And although this technically isn’t a winner, it’s still a very good piece of copy… and… I think, important to include in the file.

A sales letter that made $6.5 million from a tiny list of just 13,000 people!

A sales letter that regularly raked in $21 for every $1 spent mailing it to cold lists!  (Note: A “cold” list is a list of people whom you have no previous relationship with.  That is, they have no idea who you are… so… it’s an infinitely harder sale to make!)

A postcard that received a 13%+ response to cold lists!

A masterpiece “damaged set” letter that instantly squeezed out over $65,000 from people who refused to respond previously!  (In fact, my client had all but given up on these leads until I suggested and wrote this letter for him to send.  Needless to say, he was shocked and quite pleased by the results.)

A lead generation sales letter that doubled a financial client’s previous best effort… taking him to nearly a 10% response rate from cold lists!

A sales letter that received a 21% response selling a $10,000.00 per year coaching service!

A letter for Trump University that became the #1 pulling promotion for my client… a $65 Million+ per year company!  (I actually got to write as Donald Trump!)

And many more!

     All in all, this collection contains 13 sales letters, 3 postcards, 1 broadcast fax letter, 1 space ad, 1 voicemail script, 1 “closing the sale on tape or CD” script and 1 lead-generation
e-mail.  21 separate, winning pieces that I was paid over $100,000.00 in fees alone to create… not counting the royalties I received.

        Now, there are three ways a collection of sales letters like this will benefit you:

     1. You can copy them out in your own handwriting to help ingrain winning copy into your neurology and physiology.  This really is a true shortcut to copywriting mastery.  Doing this exercise regularly helps you pick up the tempo, flow and vocabulary of world-class copy.

     2.  You can tear them apart for concepts/copy angles, pricing ideas, guarantees and more.  You can use them as idea starters.  Stuck on a project… or… not sure how to start?  Just open up these letters and start thumbing through them.  I often do this with my letters (and other people’s) and quickly have several ideas I can work with immediately!

     3.  You can use them as templates for selling similar goods or services.

     So, you see, having a collection like this is one of the most valuable things you can own when it comes to success with your copy and your direct response projects.

     It truly is a priceless collection and, in and of itself, should cost thousands of dollars… however… you can get it, along with Scott’s complete course and quick-start, quick-study guide for just …

$0 For A Limited-Time!

     Listen: Scott’s course is a helluva deal when you consider the time, energy, and money Scott had to expend… not just to uncover these secrets… but also… to put them down into a logical, easy-to-understand course of instruction that will serve you for a lifetime.  You’re getting everything Scott used everyday on the frontlines of direct, accountable advertising.  All the inside info Scott used to write advertising that has pulled in millions and millions of dollars in sales and profits… making Scott and his clients a small fortune in the process.  All of Gary Halbert’s true secrets passed down to the copywriter he called his best student… And you are getting it for nothing!

    But why am I doing this? It’s simple.

    It’s a bribe. It’s a shameless bribe to get you to sign up for Scott’s new…

Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2!

     This new course is based on Scott’s brainstorming notes since 2004, of which the majority are from the last 3 years. I found them as I cleaned out his apartment here in Austin, Texas where we used to hangout all the time.

    What I found was this.

    After surveying his list, Scott knew his students were hungry for winning sales letters, and especially control pieces that couldn’t be beat. Not only that, his students wanted to know the inner workings of what went into writing these homerun and control ads.

    Scott wrote in his notes he wanted to update his Hottest Sales Letters Volume 1 to include more of his homeruns, especially the more recent sales letters. In fact, Scott didn’t want to just break down his own ads himself. He wanted to use his vast network of A+ copywriter and marketer buddies and get them to share their wisdom too. Scott had literally wanted to get more of his winning sales letters, ad breakdowns, and input from his copywriting friends since 2004. He just never got around to doing it.

    And thus, I went to work. Since late January 2017, I’ve probably spent (conservatively) over 600 hours going through 21 of Scott’s boxes, his old computer, countless journals and speaking to many of his past copywriting clients.

    What I discovered… blew the minds of even his closest friends and fellow Gary Halbert proteges, Sam Markowitz, Amit Suneja, Caleb O’Dowd, and Carlos Duran.

    Get this…

    Scott had been hoarding hundreds of his own sales letters from over the years, including controls still being used today. His longest-running client told me over Skype, he was still running at least three of Scott’s ads online and couldn’t find any other copywriter who could beat Scott. One of Scott’s controls made this client over $4,000,000 from 2003 to 2006 and is still being used today. And guess what? Because Scott meant so much to this client and to honor Scott’s legacy, I’ve been given permission to share all three controls with Scott’s students… including you.

    But wait. It gets even better.

    Then there was the time Scott beat a control in the health market which had been mailed over 30,000,000 (thirty million) times over the last 17 years. Scott didn’t just beat it. He obliterated it by taking a totally different approach.

    In fact, if Scott’s controls were all you got from Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2, it might be the most valuable copywriting resource you’ve ever seen. But, it keeps getting even better.

    Here’s exactly what you’ll receive when you invest in Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2…

Scott’s original Shorcut Copywriting Secrets course ($997 Value).

Scott’s original Hottest Sales Letters Volume 1 ($497 Value). This collection contains 13 sales letters, 3 postcards, 1 broadcast fax letter, 1 space ad, 1 voicemail script, 1 “closing the sale on tape or CD” script and 1 lead-generation e-mail.  21 separate, winning pieces that Scott was paid over $100,000.00 in fees alone to create… not counting the royalties he received. (These ads will be available to you instantly in your member’s area).

Scott’s Hottest Sales Letters Volume 2 ($497). Receive 12, never-before-seen homeruns (including 4 controls) which Scott had buried on his hard drive. (These ads will be available to you instantly in your member’s area and shipped to your home).

Million Dollar Mike Morgan, Clayton Makepeace, David Deutsch, And David Garfinkel!

Not only will you receive ad breakdowns of 9 ads in Hottest Sales Letters Volume 1, you’ll also receive the following breakdowns of Scott’s never-before-seen ads in Hottest Sales Letters Volume 2, including:

     Ad Breakdown #1:  A 14-year Control Selling Software for $3,970. ($197 Value) – “Million Dollar” Mike Morgan, an A+ copywriter for Agora –with multiple controls– broke down this masterpiece. This ad is still being used today after generating over $4,000,000 between 2003 and 2006. It still can’t be beat. (Plus, Mike is a long-time customer of Shortcut Copywriting Secrets and still studies it from time to time).

     Ad Breakdown #2:  A 13-year Control Selling A $297/Month Continuity Program. ($197 Value) – Clayton Makepeace, the highest-paid copywriter in the world, put his copy chief hat on for this breakdown. Scott would always look back even on his big winners to see where he might have improved things. Well, Clayton demonstrated what it looks like to improve a winner even more. (By the way, Scott was on Clayton’s radar (marketers kept bringing up Scott to Clayton) and would have probably worked with him).

     Ad Breakdown #3: A 10-year Control Selling A 6-Week E-Class For $2,855. ($197 Value) – Caleb O’Dowd, called one of the top five copywriters in the world according to Gary Halbert, broke this ad down. Caleb and Scott, fellow Halbert proteges, remained close throughout the years.

     Ad Breakdown #4:  Beat A Health Control That Had Mailed Over 30,000,000 Times Over 17 Years. ($197 Value) – Craig Clemens, a top copywriter in the same health and wellness niche, provided some valuable insight on how to stay out of legal trouble with the FTC. Plus, Craig explains how Scott was able to obliterate this control by approaching the prospects’s main problems, fears, and frustrations from a totally different angle. Fun fact: This client insisted Gary Halbert write this letter. Gary outsourced it to Scott, and the client was none the wiser. That’s how amazing Scott was at writing copy like Gary Halbert.

     Ad Breakdown #5:  Lead Generation Letter produced Over $6,500,000 Dollars. ($197 Value) – Adam Carroll, an A+ copywriter for the likes of Rodale and Agora, specializes in beating controls. Adam broke down this brilliant lead gen ad. Here’s the the thing. This letter was mailed to a list of only 13,000 people who hadn’t been contacted in 2-3 years. Amazing. Adam also happens to have trained under Parris Lompropoulos.

     Ad Breakdown #6:  Survival Letter Generated Millions. ($197 Value) – David Garfinkel, master copywriting coach, told me this was one of the best sales letters he’s ever read.

     Ad Breakdown #7:  Written For Gary Halbert With 200 Bullets. ($197 Value) – David Deutsch, A+ copywriter for Board Room and other major publishers, copy chiefed this letter. Scott wrote it for Gary Halbert to sell the recordings of Gary’s Phoenix copywriting seminar Recordings.

     Ad Breakdown #8:  Email Copywriting Seminar Produced 60 seats at $5,000. ($197 Value) – Kevin Rogers, a master copy chief, broke down this ad Scott wrote for a famous direct response company.

     Ad Breakdown #9:  $181,420 Generated From A List Of Only 3000. ($197 Value) – Amit Suneja, a fellow Gary Halbert protege, broke down this ad Scott wrote as Gary Halbert for the Gary Halbert Letter. Yes, Scott wrote more like Gary Halbert than anyone else.

     Ad Breakdown #10:  Another $119,756 Generated From A List Of Only 3000. ($197 Value) – Trevor Toecracker Crook, an Aussie copywriter, broke down yet another ad Scott wrote as Gary Halbert for the Gary Halbert Letter.

     Ad Breakdown #11:  Sold 30 Spots To A $7,495 Coaching Program And Live Event. ($197 Value) – Harlan Kilstein, a master NLP copywriter, broke down this ad and revealed the mastery of copywriting by Scott.

     Ad Breakdown #12:  Over $200,000 From An Info Product. ($197 Value) – John “Angel” Angelache, an A+ copywriter for Agora, broke down this ad and said Scott was the best bullet writer he ever saw. Plus, John is a Shortcut Copywriting Secrets customer who used this ad by Scott to model for a 5-year control he wrote in the Hypnosis market…

     Ad Breakdown #13:  Returned over $41 for every $1 spent. ($197 Value) – John Carlton, one of Scott’s oldest pals, broke down this ad that pulled in $121,776 to a list of only 3,100 prospects at a price point of $1,032…

     Ad Breakdown #14:  Over $250,000 From A List Of Only 121. ($197 Value) – Brian Kurtz, former Executive Vice President of Boardroom, Inc and Scott’s friend, broke down this ad for a yearly coaching program for $10,000. It was sent to only 121 prospects…

     Ad Breakdown #15:  Over $1,000,000 In Book Sales. ($197 Value) – Craig Perrine, a top copywriter and friend of Scott, broke down this ad for a book which brought in millions…

     Ad Breakdown #16:  Returned $21 For Every $1 Spent. ($197 Value) – Bond Halbert, son of Gary Halbert and long-time buddy of Scott, broke down this ad which sold a stock trading system to cold traffic…

     Ad Breakdown #17:  Over $65,000 From A Damaged Set Letter. ($197 Value) – Doberman Dan Gallapoo, a long-time friend to Scott and fellow Halbert protege, broke down this ad that brought in over $65,000 from leads who hadn’t responded to three previous sales attempts. Bonus: Scott also mentioned that the order form worked like magic, but he lost it… Well, I’m happy to report that I found it and have included it for you.

     Ad Breakdown #18:  Over 170 Bullets. ($197 Value) – Tony Flores, a top copywriter, broke down this ad which included over 170 bullets for a Jay Abraham promotion. Yes, Scott wrote quite a few letters for Jay…

     Ad Breakdown #19:  Over $250,000 From An Info Product. ($197 Value) – Ben Settle, a top copywriter and friend of Scott, broke down this real estate lead gen ad which blasted the control to smithereerns (in Scott’s own words)…

     Ad Breakdown #20:  Monthly Continuity With A Near-Irresistible Offer. ($197 Value) – Lorrie Morgan Ferrero, a top copywriter, broke down this monthly continuity ad which had two things, a near-irresistible offer and one of the best (if not the best) guarantees you’ll ever see…

     Ad Breakdown #21:  Ghostwriting For Donald Trump. ($197 Value) – Sam Markowitz, a fellow Gary Halbert protege and long-time friend of Scott, broke down this ad which was written by Scott as Donald Trump and beat their control by 30% when tested online…

    Anyway.

    It has taken a lot of time, effort, and money to put together Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2 and continue my best friend’s legacy, while still grieving. But it’s definitely been worth it knowing that a whole new generation of aspiring copywriters and marketers will get to learn from Scott’s genius.

    Scott made it abundantly clear in many of his different journals that he didn’t want to sell his Shortcut Copywriting Secrets course anymore for less than $997.

    However, he did have a sale once in awhile for special occassions.

    So, here’s the deal:

    If you invest in Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2 during this special launch to honor Scott’s legacy, I’m going to do the following.

    Deal #1 – I’m going to give you Scott’s original Shortcut Copywriting Secrets course (the one Gary Halbert said everyone should study before studying anything Gary wrote on copywriting) and Scott’s Hottest Sales Letters Volume 1 for $0 instead of $997. In fact, I’ll ship everything to you free of charge and cover shipping & handling.

    It’s my gift to you to honor Scott’s legacy and get his course into as many hands as possible.

    Deal #2 – And although one homerun swipe and breakdown can run you, in many cases, $197, I’m not going to charge you $4,137 for all 21 ad breakdowns.

    At over $5,134 in value, I’m not even going to charge you $997.

    For a limited time only, your investment today will only be…
