How to write (And persuade) better

How to write (And persuade) betterClick Image To Visit Site "I spent 27,875,80 minutes and millions – if not billions – of other people’s money solving the biggest problem most business face"


"… Let me share it with you for less than the price of a dinner for two – or take it for free if you don’t agree it’s worth the price."



I’m Drayton Bird. I’ve spent the last 53 years writing stuff to persuade and sell almost every single day. And I’d like to teach you how. But in a fraction of the time it’s taken me to learn – two hours, fifty minutes and forty nine seconds, to be precise. But why should you listen to me? Well I worked for the legendary David Ogilvy for eight years after I sold my company to Ogilvy & Mather. He said this:


And Gary Bencivenga, widely regarded before his retirement as the world’s best direct marketing copywriter said this:


"Your books are among my most valued possessions, and easily among the greatest ever written on advertising, right up there with those by Caples, Ogilvy, Schwab, Reeves and Hopkins"


The world’s most successful copywriter after Gary retired is Clayton Makepeace. He made as much as $6 million a year. After talking to me he said I:


"Triggered so many great ideas and confirmed so many closely held beliefs of mine, well, believe it or not, words fail…’

If you spend just over 53 minutes watching my first video you’ll be well on your way. Watch the second and you’ll be miles in front of most. See all three and you’ll be light years ahead.


In the first video I discuss: 1. How do you get attention – advice from an advertising genius 2. What top bosses REALLY want from you 3. Who edited David Ogilvy’s writing? 4. How I sold the world’s most expensive executive education seminar – which they couldn’t sell before. I take you in complete detail through the problem, and how I solved it, word by word. 5. Why most marketing books are bad news 6. What’s the biggest problem with writing 7. A lesson from the Dragon Empress of China 8. How to convert a mailing into an ad 9. How do you get ideas? 10. The sin we are all guilty of (including me) And lots, lots more besides. Don’t forget that’s just the first video. After that there’s another one hour and fifty seven minutes jam packed with the fruits of 53 years’ damned hard labour.


Think about it. If after writing pretty much every day since the dawn of time I don’t know how… Read more…
