Default Dan Kennedy's Copywriting Seminar-In-A-Box and Magnetic Marketing. Your thoughts? - 08-12-2007, 10:01 PM

Hi All.

I've just read Dan Kennedy's "Ultimate Sales Letter" and I feel like I could use a lot more of his information. Since the book is a fast-read and Dan only provided a basic overview of many of his techniques.

I'm looking at his Seminar-In-A-Box and Magnetic Marketing courses. For those of you who have these courses, what do you think of them?

I am not looking to become to full-time copywriter. I only write copy for my own info-products and I am seeking to improve my copywriting skills. Dan seems like he has the goods to offer.

Thanks for your input!

Peter

Hi,

The Magnetic Marketing course is solid gold and worth every penny. I was disappointed by the Copywriting Seminar In A Box course.

Hope that helps,

Mike

There are a number of DK copywriting seminars out there.

The last ever Dan Kennedy copywriting bootcamp was gold.

The others were a waste.

Magnetic Marketing is worth it however.

Every copywriter should own it.

If you can get that bootcamp, get it. Otherwise, pass.

Peace

Hey Peter,

I'll throw my hat in the ring too and say that I learned lots from Dans Magnetic Marketing, but have you read some of his other books?

If you like the Ultimate Sales Letter, check out his "Ultimate Marketing Plan" and also his No B.S. series of books too. While they don't go too deep into copywriting, they're all excellent books with many valuable marketing lessons in each.

While I'm at it, I might as well mention Jay Abrahams "Getting all that you can out of all that you've got" book if you want a great marketing education for about $15.

Cheers,

Steve

P.S. If you decide to get Magnetic Marketing, check out eBay first to see if anyone's selling used or new there. I picked my new copy up there for a song a few years back.

Hey Peter,

Magnetic Marketing is a must own, I agree. Just so you know, I am one of Dan's licensees from the Michael Kimble days. As a result, I have a whole bunch of extra copies of magnetic marketing (on cassette, lol) - its an older version - I believe 2000 or 2001, but frankly, when they did update, the changes weren't significant. The real gold in that program are all the template letters and his step by step explanation of direct marketing/multi-step marketing - as others have said, pure gold. I should be able to give you everything you would have gotten had you bought from Dan at one of his speeches. I haven't been active with it at all for the past couple years so the copies are sitting in storage. PM me and Im sure we can come up with a deal of some kind that will suit your needs.

Cheers,

RJ

PS The copywriting courses are okay, but there are better ones for sure.

Thanks for all the replies!

I'll be looking at his other NO BS and "Ultimate Marketing Plan" books to start with.

BTW, has anyone used the new "Creating Copy That Sells" online course by Bill Glazer. It's listed at the top of Dan Kennedy's copywriting products on his website. It's a $2497 program delivered online.

Thanks.

$2497 is a big price tag to learn copy from Bill Glazer. No disrespect meant, Bill probably writes better than the average person, but I can think of a lot of other world-class copywriters who would be better to learn from.

You can get a lot of other copywriting courses and books for that much and still have money left over.

Do a search in this forum and you'll find some of the other recommended books and courses to learn copywriting.
