Default Does Anyone Know who wrote this??? - 12-28-2007, 03:06 PM

Special Report: The 23-Cent LIFE-SAVER

Found it while playing around on Digg.com, and ending up on the worldnetdaily site.

Can't stand the website, but I have always noticed that they have MANY, MANY Direct Response Ads from Natural and Holistic companies.

Any ideas?

It's not a swipe. (Not directly, anyway.) It's Clayton's own company, "Health Resources." And it's either written by, or co-written by, one of Clayton's copy cubs.

In April 07 The Screaming Eagle has the print version of what looks like that piece listed as Clayton's work.

The headline & deck are the same but I don't have the body copy for the print piece to compare.

I have a feeling one of the webinars listed the piece as Clayton's as well, although that may be a broad definition meaning one of his cubs...

That's funny. I originally wrote, "Clayton Makepeace" before I even looked at the site. I just knew the headline.

Then I looked at the site and thought, "No way Makepeace authorized this ugly site so it must be a swipe." And I came back and changed my post to add "swipe".

Oh well.

It's one of Makepeace's BEST efforts. All 25 pages are reproduced in his STEAL THESE SECRETS product. Seriously... who the heck thinks it was written by one of his "cubs"?

Every time I read that magalog I have to keep my credit card in another room. I think it's an awesome piece. How could anyone having high blood pressure or high cholesterol not take a chance on the product instead of taking the gawd awful big pharma drugs?

Fortin... Makepeace's company? Says who?

The offline magalog looks great.



They/he used the headline and deck copy from the magalog and then continued with the body copy from page 3 of the magalog.

Yep, I wrote it.
Mailed 40 million pieces so far.
That's -- what? $2 million in royalties.
But it's not my company; it's a client's company.
Cheers!

I've got this magalog.

I hate magalogs like these because they tempt me to buy things I don't need.

Excellent stuff.

That's probably why Subtle keeps his credit card in another room.

There's a slightly different format if you take the parts after "eoc" off:

Blast Deadly Plaque NOW!

I guess the one strafefire posted did better?

Oops, hope I didn't stumble on something I shouldn't have...
