THROW AWAY YOUR CHEAP COPYWRITING EXPERT BOOKS

First things first; Let’s get this out of the way. There’s no doubt about it - THE MAJORITY of new copywriters, trainee copywriters or people interested in copywriting programs are being lied to, cheated and deceived.

And sadly because of that - if it is you and you follow them - you will never be a copywriter. Most of what they teach by its very design is guaranteed to make you fail as a copywriter.

And why? The simple fact of the matter is what these so-called copywriting coaches teach isn’t usually based on real-world data, experience and actual dealing with clients in the real world. The majority of copywriting mentors online have never worked as a copywriter. It’s little wonder they set people up to fail.

This program is for those that want the truth and want to make it. One of the very first things I usually do as a copywriting mentor with you is to undo bad practices so you can be a success.

OK, let’s go …

How Easy Is It To Become an A-List Copywriter?

So How Did I Become a Copywriter - An A-List Copywriter?

If you’ve read my best-selling book - The Accidental Copywriter here - you can skip this bit).

I wrote my first sales copy – a simple flyer – for my first business in 1985 (although I wrote my first posters for my punk band in the late 70s.) From that point forward I always wrote my own adverts and sales copy despite having no idea what I was doing. All I knew was I needed someone to call me and book me. I wrote a newspaper ad, a flyer and a business card.

By the year 1989, I opened my first high street business in Lancashire, England. Again, I had to write my own advertising or sales copy for my salon business because I didn’t have the money to pay someone to do it for me. My one salon eventually became three salons. Those salons rose from a position of zero to number one salons. This was due to the sales copy, marketing and advertising I had been relentlessly doing.

Out of 35 well-established hairdressing salons in a town of 125,000 population, my salon went from new to almost going bust to being the number one salon in town. This was due to the volume of advertising and copy I was creating. I wrote a book about this whole 20-year experience called - The Salon Punk.

Incredibly I still have copies of some of these salon adverts I wrote from 1989 onwards. See the blue one? It was so successful I ran it unchanged for 17 years - despite all the typos.

Copywriting Direct Mail Every Week For 17 Years - And I Was a Hairdresser

Over the next period of years, I wrote and sent out literally hundreds of thousands of direct mail pieces (at least 500 - 1,000 direct mail letters every Tuesday) hundreds of thousands of flyers, vouchers, signs and some long-running newspaper Ads.

Ads that I never changed for over 17 years due to their unbeatable response and success rates. I am self-taught as a copywriter, but the results were just huge for me. So huge in fact I managed to build myself a huge 5-bedroomed detached house in its own acre of land from my copywriting results.

I wrote a book about that whole experience called, The Salon Punk)

Again here are copies of the three-part system I wrote and would mail out every week from 1989 onwards. Click on any to see the full page.

Then due to the massive amount of relentless daily marketing, I was doing (with no training – not a single bit) I started to also get noticed by local business owners. They began to ask me not about the salon, but about who or which company was doing my advertising. I explained it was me writing all of them.

After they stopped laughing - literally - some went on to ask me if I could create letters, ads and other business materials for them including writing a lot of direct mail letters at the time (pre-web era).

And of course, I accepted most of what was asked of me. During this time, my amateur copywriting skills sold over £1.2 million in sports cars for one salon client that owned a garage named KINGS. Phil the owner was a total eccentric that told everyone the story of how he had half of his brain removed as a young man. This was a true story and he told it hilariously. Then I helped to sell over £800,000 in orders for a small start-up cosmetic business. This was for one of my salon reps.

I also helped to sell a warehouse full of UPVC windows for another company. I also sold tons of Chinese imported tea, Oil from Israel, stop-smoking products, accounting software and jewellery and tree services and more from writing copy - part-time above my salon.

During this period I was still a hairdresser and happy being a hairdresser. This was the early to mid-nineties.

And that’s only just the beginning

… I Was Handed £1500 In a Plain Brown Envelope For Writing Three Short A4 Letters

One day in the salon I was doing a haircut. The haircut was on a man named Richard. Richard is an accountant with his own practice. He was also an early adopter of software for his clients and he wanted to sell this software to them.

During the haircut, Richard asked me a question. The question was this.

‘Alan, who does all of your marketing and writes those letters that keep coming to my house?’

I replied, ‘I write them, I do it all.’

He then looked at me surprised and asked me the second question.

‘Could You Write Some Letters For My Accounting Business?’

I smiled and replied, ‘Sure, I can have a go for you.’ I replied I would try because frankly despite writing quite a lot of copy for clients I really didn’t have the confidence to do this for others. I can’t spell, I had no idea about grammar and frankly people wanting haircuts was very different to something called, ‘software.’

No money was agreed for writing the letters, but I told Richard I would call him when I had written the letters for him to pick up. I’ll be honest, I was nervous. Writing for myself was easy despite my lack of qualifications. Writing for someone else always made me extremely vulnerable.

So, in between salon clients, I would run upstairs to my small office, sit and write his letters. It took me around an hour or so. When I got time I then called Richard to ask for his address so I could put the letters on a floppy disc and mail them over.

Some days later, Richard called me. He loved the letters but asked if the grammar and spelling would be fixed (told you). I simply said, ‘Yes’ despite the fact I had no idea what grammar was. I am not saying that with pride I am simply relating I was a hairdresser with zero formal education at this point.

But the good news is I knew an old school teacher from my school days. I asked her (Mrs Gee) what was grammar and if she could help me fix it in these letters. Once the grammar had been fixed I called Richard. Finally, he arrived at the salon for the updated letters. I was with a client doing a haircut at the time he arrived so I had to tell the client, I would be just a couple of minutes while I took Richard upstairs.

Once we got into the small office I gave Richard the floppy disc with the finished letters and despite the fact, that no money had been agreed upon…

… Richard Handed Me A Brown Envelope Of Cash With £1,500 In Notes For His Letters and Thanked Me.

And that’s not all. I had no idea what was in the envelope. I was so busy I ran back downstairs and carried on with my haircut. I think 4-days passed before I went back to the envelope. I can tell you I had never seen this amount of real cash at one time and certainly never been paid anything like that for ONE HOUR of writing!

I Had Just Earned More from One Hour of Writing Than I Would Earn In a Month!

But wait because there’s more. In those days – around 1995 – I was earning from my hairdressing business around £350-500 per week. It was good money in those days but it was hard work. Now all of a sudden and pretty shockingly I had been paid the equivalent of 3 months’ wage - £1,500 for one hour’s writing - I can still remember that moment today. It felt completely insane at the time.

Are you with me so far?

  • I had written three A4 letters or around 900 words.

  • My salon business was paying me £12.50 per hour for insane hours, long days and hard, hard work.

  • I had just been handed £1,500 for one hour of writing that felt nothing like work!

This was my welcome to a world of paid copywriting.

I Repeat - PAID £1500 For One Hour Writing!

By the way - I knew nothing about the detail or skill of copywriting at this stage. I had never even heard of the word copywriting. All I knew was I had to write letters to keep my salon business busy. And now I can write letters to clients to keep their businesses busy.

And the pay was seemingly easy to ask for and quite frankly it felt ridiculous.

This was around 1993-5 when that side of things began.

After that, I never gave copywriting for other businesses a lot more thought. I was just busy with my own salons at the time.

And then this happened. I got asked to write for a hair cosmetic company. Then I got asked if I could write for a local car sales showroom. Then I started to have referred strangers that had nothing to do with my salon walk into my salon and ask for a copywriter named Alan.

My staff never had a clue who these people were asking for so I had to inform them that I had another business that I did part-time upstairs. it wasn’t a business it was just a favour here and there. There was no structure, it was accidental and I never asked for a fee. But the good news was they loved to pay me.

This New Accidental Part-Time Copywriting Business Was Now Paying Me Far More Than My Salons Could Ever Pay Me

It gets better - By the year 1999/2000, I had been recruited to work alongside the great copywriter Michel Fortin. By the year 2001, I had decided to seriously consider selling my salons or dropping out of writing as they were both in conflict with time. I was now also earning tens of thousands of dollars a week as a high-demand copywriter.

By 2003 I had sold my salons and was writing for some of the world’s biggest best-known marketers and companies globally. By the year 2003, my copywriting business had become a full-time occupation.

By 2008 I had travelled around the globe six times. Worked and spoken with the likes of Jay Abraham, Brendon Bruchard, Armand Morin. T. Harv Eker and literally a massive who’s who of business.

By 2008 I had also met my own marketing hero Jay Conrad Levinson in Atlanta Georgia USA. We were to become good friends for years after.

By 2010 after a bitter, destructive and disastrous divorce, I was declared bankrupt. After some related health problems (like my attempted murder by so and so) and being homeless for around six months. It was crazy!

This led me to write myself a new car (my previous car had been repossessed), pay for a house, buy furniture from scratch and the rest of the nice things I needed in life. Writing copy helped me to do that over a six-week period. I repeat I had written myself a car, house and new life in just SIX WEEKS!

There’s more - Then in 2015, I wrote myself and my new wife a New York wedding. Business class flights, diamond rings, hotels the lot. I took zero out of the bank and just wrote them. My copywriting had paid for them.

Big Copywriting Invoices

By 2018 I was again sending out invoices for copywriting and strategies for well over six figures for a single job.

Recently while in the gym I got paid £3,000 in advance whilst working out. Copywriting saved my life on many occasions.

As I write to you I am currently finishing a £4 million pound sales letter for a herculean project I am working on. So there you have it. It seems I do have a little front-line experience.

Over The Years I Have Literally Had Tens of Thousands in Cash (and more) Thrown At Me!

I have been paid more money as a copywriter than I could only have ever dreamt about as a hairdresser. I live and have created a life on my own terms. I no longer chase clients. I work only with one or two clients annually. They always approach me.

Working this way gives me more income than I could ever wish for. Again, I am not telling you this to show off I am simply telling you about my own life as a copywriter. My hours are my choice. My time is my choice. My daily routine is my choice. Some weeks I really never stop. On other weeks I do nothing apart from drinking coffee, thinking and playing endless Star Wars with my young son.

Sounds far-fetched I know. All the odds were definitely stacked against me. I had no finished education. I walked out of school at just 15 years old. I was then a hairdresser. I had no writing experience. I had no copywriting training. And yet somehow I ended up as a respected copywriter who has written copy for well over 600 industries.

And that’s really not all. I’ve also spoken in front of well over 25,000 people and has now run my acclaimed mentor program since 2004. I have also written literally dozens of best-selling sales letters whilst making some of my clients very rich indeed. One letter I wrote pulled in just over £15 million in sales in just 3 weeks.

Today, I mostly write for my own projects, and just one or two clients, and work with mentee students like yourself. I am also an author, filmmaker, and director and have five businesses including a property business that takes my time.

Today, I have happily married again and have two beautiful new children to complete our love.

 
 

All from copywriting.

That’s my copywriting story… SO FAR.

And as they say- the rest is history.

 Copywriting Mentor With a Real Copywriting Veteran

Imagine how much I know about writing copy, working with clients, making campaigns work, and writing for different formats with copywriting.

And just imagine all the other tricks I know just for making a varied, creative and profitable life as a writer writing copy.

Not only have I been able to create and sustain my copywriting business since I transitioned from hairdressing I have also had the ability to earn more in a week than I used to earn in a year.

Can you imagine what it would be like working with me?

I have written copy, dined and wined with, consulted with and helped some of the biggest marketers on this planet. I have even written copy for some of the most famous copywriters you’d probably know by name.

This is just a fraction of what I share with my copywriting mentor students and I will share with you.

Did that all sound far-fetched? OK let’s have a look at what just a couple of my previous mentees say about copywriting mentoring with me.

 

“…my initial investment back After several weeks…”

 “If You Want The Surest Way To Becoming A Copywriter - This Is It”

”Alan gets plenty of mentees having been through Write Your Way to Freedom, AWAI, or other copywriting courses up and down the Internet. I am one of them. What good is all that copywriting if you don’t know how to get a single client? Don’t know where to look? Starting a business from ground zero is a cold dark world. Do you really think you can do that on your own? I couldn’t.

Do you want to have a complete roadmap to doing that? Know what to do next? I sure didn’t when I walked out of either of my other copywriting courses. And that’s only half of it. Well, it’s more than half. Starting a business, that is. (That’s why Alan’s the best.) But I haven’t even gotten to the writing copy part yet!

Despite having been through two copywriting courses already, I LEARNED HOW TO WRITE COPY. All other courses are a sham and a farce. Do you know why? Because you need an instructor. Copywriting is one of those things you can’t just learn DIY. That was my experience. That’s like trying to become a carpenter using Google. Don’t be stupid. Be willing to learn.

If you want the surest way to becoming a copywriter, this is it. Your alternative is to continue fumbling around doing all the wrong stuff. You’ll find it eventually, or maybe you’ll never find it. You can pitch 1,000 emails and hope 1% will come back with a yes. I was about to do that before I realized it was worthless. Then I went looking for a mentor. It was what I needed. A surgeon. A doctor. I couldn’t fix myself. Don’t be stupid.

What good is cold pitching to some odd 1,000 businesses if you’re pitching to all the wrong places? If you don’t know how to pitch? Much more about how to take the next step? How to handle customers, how to woo them? That’s like taking those 1,000 emails and throwing them down a black hole. I didn’t want that. That’s not what I wanted to do. So before taking that plunge, I took a different plunge instead, and it was with Alan.

We did more than write copy. We reached out and got leads. Warm bodies. Not cold emails. Get experience not only writing copy but interacting with your lead. By the way, you’ll become a copywriter in four weeks and go farther than you’ll ever go with AWAI or whoever in twelve.

My advice is to reach out and grab as many leads as you can. With a phone call, that’s right, not a text. Be an adult. The more experience the better. The more reviews you can ask for the better. No Internet screen can teach you how to negotiate with clients. With that said, all other copywriting courses are a waste of time. I came here when I had nowhere left to come.

— Copywriter, Micah Knoche.

 

“I Couldn’t Be More Thrilled At My Decision To Choose Alan As My Mentor”

After just 5 weeks of working with Alan and his mentor program –– I feel compelled to write about my experience.

The reason being ... is that I had tried to learn copywriting in the past and just couldn’t find my feet. Most copywriting mentors online today encourage you to start by writing out winning sales letters by HAND. I did this for 3 months straight. For me, it didn’t have the effect on my copywriting ability that I hoped ... or that many allude to.

Alan’s approach is entirely different.

In the first 3 weeks of the program, Alan had me writing every day in the form of stories. Something I hadn’t written since I was a kid. The result of which was pretty profound.

Not only did my writing ability improve RAPIDLY, but unknown to me at the time, these formed the basis of a sales piece. In later weeks, through a step-by-step approach, these stories became winning sales pieces that Alan was surprisingly complimentary about.

And I, too, was pretty amazed at how fluid the process became to create a rather compelling piece of sales copy by starting with this foundation.

Alan gets you to think clearly about the customer mindset, your word choices, and how to write with PUNCH, pace and hard-hitting, attention-grabbing headlines.

I couldn’t be more thrilled at my decision to choose Alan as my mentor, and can’t wait to see what copy I can produce at the end of his mentor program.

I’d encourage anyone looking to learn copywriting, to get in contact with Alan. No doubt.
— Wesley Atkins

 

“The First Two Weeks Were A Shock To The System … Just Make The Move”

Working with Alan you get critical feedback from someone who’s been doing this for over 30 years so it’s feedback from experience.

The feedback has been hugely important in cutting through all the b.s online and focusing on what works. You know every zoom call Alan’s going to go through your copy and not just tell you areas where you need to work on, but also give you examples of how to improve it.

And all the zoom calls are recorded so you can watch them back over and over, I’ve found this to be a massive help because I can watch the critiques then pause the video while I’m rewriting the copy.

The mentoring process really is the shortcut, the hack, the go straight to the finish.

I’m now feeling confident I can write strong copy for almost any niche and it’s only been 8 weeks. I also realise that I wouldn’t have made it this far without personal mentorship, I would be still scratching my head, not knowing if I was on the right track, or completely focusing on the wrong things.

If you are sitting on the fence wondering if Mentor’s for you then it probably is, if you don’t make the jump now you’ll be sitting in the same seat in a year’s time still wondering if mentor is for you.

Maybe now’s the time to make a move.

The Mentoring Process Really is the Shortcut, THE HACK’
As I write this we’ve just finished the call for week 8 and in 8 short weeks, my copy skills have literally been transformed.

Those eight weeks have connected the dots of how to write copy, How to think about writing copy and how it’s not really about big fancy headlines, loads of bullets, or maybe even all about the product.

It all starts with the prospect and getting in his or her head. The internal conversation and then the product.

Before mentor I was thinking about big over-the-top dramatic headlines, hyped-up sales copy, talking to no one in particular, and after mentor who is the prospect? What age are they? What sex? What is their internal conversation?

Thinking back to the first two weeks of mentor, I won’t lie the first two weeks were a shock to the system. Writing 500-600 words a day takes some getting used to, researching and writing ads on top of that takes some getting used to, but the flip side is your writing, particularly your writing speed. This improves fast, really fast.

At first, I thought it was just my writing speed, but as I looked back on what I’d written over the first two weeks I noticed a massive improvement in quality.

Before I started this process, I thought I had a rough idea about writing copy, but only when going through this mentor did I realise how little I really knew.

Copywriting’s a skill that has to be built from the ground up with practice a lot of practice, it’s not a piece of knowledge you pick up in a textbook. It’s not a fill-in-the-blanks template you downloaded off god knows where online.

My copy has improved immensely, it’s night and day compared to before I started. It’s a lot more focused, a lot more one on one and a lot more thinking about the prospect.

“I Got My Initial Investment Back Several Weeks After Starting As A Copywriter With Alan... “

I got my initial investment back several weeks after starting as a copywriter with Alan… and fully expect what I learned from Alan to pay dividends (gold making more gold) for years to come.

Not only will Alan figure out what is holding you back, his “fix” will reset your course and align you with what you really want.

In our closing weeks of Mentor, I was amazed to see copy Alan inspired was pulling a 58% opt in rate from a FB Ad and landing page. Also, a strategy for a new client... again, inspired by Alan, has meant

I am bringing “bleeding edge” direct response to a huge market where no one is doing this.
— Chris Alquist, Copywriter.

 

“ If You Want To Become A Copywriter This Training Will Deliver Everything You Need - Fast.”

‘AMAZING… Alan isn’t just about copywriting, he guided and showed me a whole new way.’
Learning from Alan has been the most significant point in my life. Why? Because he turned me into a practical dreamer and a winning copywriter who understands all the most powerful techniques and systems. And that’s not the only thing he has influenced me.

I’m an English second-language speaker who had no experience of writing besides a few writings from school years. But after I met Alan, now I write everyday and easily writes more than 500,000 words in just a couple of months. Anyone who hates to write or has no confidence in writing should able to start with Alan and changed forever.

He is such a great influencer!

He influenced me simply by helping me to find the mindset in the right direction... The exceptional thing about Alan is that he gives very personal care and cares very deeply. So, he doesn’t stop from just teaching how to write a brilliant copy. He has given directions and a clear blueprint to set a powerful mindset that I can use for my own success like his.

And he did it the best.

He taught me everything with warm-heart. He accepted me and treated me as his good friend. He gave me every bit of source to success and also has shared his giant library of books and information accumulated from his 33 years of experience from copywriting/marketing. And he didn’t just hand me materials and expected me to figure out. He was always there when I needed help with anything.

He motivated me, encouraged me, supported me, and listened to me. I was so impressed with Alan on his flexible teaching style. Despite his long track-records of success, he never tried to force his idea or his way, nor he dictated the system. Instead, he was willing to listen and adjust to my request and tailor it to my need and want. I didn’t expect such a world-class copywriter would be so down to earth and gives so much meaningful supports.

If Alan can turn an English second-language speaker into a great copywriter, I believe that anyone can benefit so much from working with Alan and achieve success.

I can’t say enough about Alan… I’ll highly recommend anyone to talk to Alan, learn from Alan, and take any courses or teachings that he provides without split seconds of hesitation.

If you want to become a copywriter this training will deliver everything you need - fast. And - A unique opportunity to become my protege.

“I Would Strongly Recommend Alan As Your Mentor If You Want To Become A Copywriter”

‘I would strongly recommend Alan as your mentor’ You want to become a copywriter? Here is my own story…’

My name is Michael.

“If anyone is interested in learning the art of copywriting, I would strongly recommend Alan as your mentor”

My Exciting New Journey To Becoming A Copywriter:

Mentored By Expert Copywriter Alan Forrest Smith

Over the past 7 (now early 20-weeks), I have been learning how to write copy to a very high standard. Prior to this, I knew absolutely nothing about copywriting. When I finally decided to take the leap and learn this unique skill, it was vital that I learned from an expert. This expert goes by the name of Alan Forrest Smith.

After reading about Alan’s expertise and successes in copywriting, it became obvious that Alan is an incredibly talented copywriter. At the time, I remember thinking;

‘If anyone can teach me to be a great copywriter, this man certainly can.’

Moments later, I reached out to Alan, via his Orange Beetle website, and asked if he’d teach me how to write copy. When he told me about his 12-week mentoring programme, that he offers to trainees like me, I decided to go for it. Just before I go any further, I want to make one thing clear…

It is not my intention to reveal the wonderful secrets of copywriting that is embedded within this programme. That is an exciting discovery that you’ll have to make for yourself. Now, you’re about to discover my experiences of this programme so far.

How I have progressed on Alan’s programme

Currently, I am almost 8 weeks into my training and it has been a very interesting and insightful programme. The structure of the programme is very flexible because all of my learning has taken place in the comfort of my own home. Once a week, I have had a one-to-one tutorial with Alan through Zoom. The great thing about this is that I don’t need to spend money on a laptop or sit at a desk in an office. All I need is my IPad, my pen, my note pad and I’m ready to learn. Keep reading to find out why this programme has been so beneficial to me.

Alan made it clear from day one that in order to become a successful copywriter; I must practice writing every day. Now, at the time, I’d never written a piece of copy in my life and so, Alan asked me to do the following. He asked me to write a story, every night, about something that had happened in my life or about something interesting that I had witnessed. Now, some people may question what writing stories has to do with copywriting. Well, I’ll tell you why Alan wanted me to do this and how it has helped me.

It started with learning the basics of effective writing

Even though copywriting and story writing are two different things; I’ve come to realize, through Alan’s mentoring, that some of the same principles apply. The content has to be interesting to read and, as a writer, it’s my job to make sure that the reader wants to read to the very end. The words must be chosen carefully to provoke certain emotions or get certain messages across to the reader, and it is important that simple grammar is used. You have to write as you speak; as if you’re having a conversation with the reader. Another thing that copywriting and story writing have in common are that the format and layout must be on point from start to finish. Otherwise, it can affect the readability of your writing and the reader will most likely not want to read your content. Now, I found this very interesting about the programme…

My transition from story writing to copywriting

Now, Alan’s teaching method was a very clever one. When I wrote a story every night, although I wasn’t writing copy, I was still practicing the same principles that a copywriter uses. The brilliant thing about this was that Alan read each of my stories and gave me constructive feedback on what I had written. If I did a good job, he told me. If there was room for improvement, he gave me valuable feedback on how I could improve specific parts of my writing. As the days and weeks passed by, Alan asked me to add things into my stories to make it look and sound more like copy. For instance, he asked me to include sub-headings and bullet points into my stories, which began to transition the format of my writing from story to copy. I always took his advice on board and did everything that he asked me to do and, without a doubt, that’ll be why I’ve had so much good feedback from him. After 6 weeks into my training, I had made so much progress, and here’s why…

Reading copywriting books had a massive impact on my writing

Not only did Alan give me a great deal of valuable advice and feedback, he suggested that I read certain books about copywriting. Those books worked wonders for me and they have significantly improved the quality of my writing. Alan has informed me on a number of occasions that my writing has got “better and better” and in turn, my confidence in my own abilities has increased. Now, here is where I had a positive pivotal moment in my training.

I attempted to write my own advert

After week 6, I made a brave decision to try and write my own advert. Alan had already asked me to write a couple of adverts before this point but I chose to write an advert instead of a story on one particular night. Honestly and truthfully, I didn’t know what the outcome was going to be because I didn’t have much experience of writing adverts at that time. Surprisingly, the outcome was this…

Alan was impressed that I took the initiative to write an advert. Overall, he was pleased with the content of my advert but there were parts of it that needed to be revised. Words can’t describe how delighted I was to receive such positive feedback from Alan. Not only did it increase my confidence, it encouraged me to shift my focus from writing stories to writing adverts. For the past (nearly) 2 weeks now, I’ve been putting all of the mentoring that I’ve had from Alan into practice by writing adverts. So far, here are my thoughts about Alan’s programme.

What I have gained from Alan’s copywriting mentor programme?

This programme has been extremely helpful for me. It has taught me a whole new range of things that I didn’t know before. I have had an amazing opportunity to gain an insight into the world of a copywriter. It’s been very fascinating to discover how a copywriter works and I’m grateful that I’ve been given an opportunity to learn this skill through such a gifted and talented expert. I very much look forward to discovering what the next few weeks of my training will bring.

P.S. If anyone is interested in learning the art of copywriting, I would strongly recommend Alan as your mentor. I have learned a lot from him so far and I am confident that his expertise will enable me to become an expert copywriter.

 The Evidence For Copywriting Mentor’s Success Is Astonishing

black back.png

I Know You Can Become a Copywriter - All The Evidence From My Mentor Supports That.

And further below I will show you even more.

So - How Do YOU Become a Copywriter?

Time and time again since 2004 I have seen all kinds of people just like yourself take this path. Doctors, soldiers, nurses, scientists (honestly) carpenters, Kung Fu masters, airline workers, electricians, builders, florists, hairdressers, copywriters (Yes copywriters do my mentor), software technicians and so many more. The list is endless. The proof for my program is just huge.

And - my copywriting program is bespoke. Together we do things at your pace (with a push). I take into account your needs, your personality, your ability and your goals.

You might be the one that wants to work at 100 miles per hour. You might be the person that needs time and plenty of patience. Believe me, I have seen it all. Just know you can do this. I have seen the proof and it’s a very exciting prospect to watch.

The Evidence For Success In My Program For Copywriting Success Is Indisputable.

Right off the bat, I do things extremely differently from any other copywriting mentor I know. Here’s why. I am a strong believer that when I spend money I want a return. Business for me is all about returns of some kind.

I also know that there are times fast financial returns are not possible. When they are not I want a different return. Like a foundation, I can build on and create what I need. I know that’s exactly how you will be and I wouldn’t want it any other way for any of my mentees - YOU! At the end of this page, I will post even more proof from my copywriting mentees.

Now … There is a huge problem in the copywriting mentor industry right now. It’s this… There is a copywriting world out there - especially online - that I have seen first-hand. It turns regular people with regular jobs into broke COPYWRITING ZOMBIES. It’s sickening. It’s sad. It’s unethical and at times it can appear almost CULT-LIKE in its approach and fanatical followings of their chosen guru.

The zombie copywriting mentors hunt down unsuspecting people that want to become copywriters. They teach them ways that are guaranteed to fail. They string the innocents along until - bang - they are also copywriting ZOMBIES. The difference is the gurus make money selling a dream whilst stealing dreams from those who genuinely want to become a copywriter.

Then these new recruits tell everyone they are a copywriter now. The reality is they have become the walking dead in a world full of copywriting zombies.

The above isn’t a comprehensive list. This is because your copywriting mentor program is bespoke. I give you what YOU NEED not what I think you need.

Did you notice; I made No mention of copying out other people’s sales letters by hand in there? You will be creating your own, writing your own letters and I will help you get them perfect with detailed critiques.

The reason is at the end of your copywriting mentor you must be ready to go it alone. That is exactly what we work towards - Your copywriting life and independence. So let’s ask this …

What Would You Want From Being a Copywriter?

Time and time again I hear a huge variety of reasons for wanting to be a copywriter. Do you want to be a copywriter full-time or part-time? Part-time can give you an extra few grand or a few hundred a month. That’s your choice. I myself still write for clients part-time and can ask for £50,000 per copy project plus bonuses and commissions.

I can easily get paid £1,000 for email advice and some copy tweaks - EASILY! You will learn exactly how to do that yourself.

So, you can do as little or as much as you like and you can control the amount of work you do. There are many clients out there right now who are waiting for copywriters just like you to give them the copy they need to get their business back on track or to increase their sales or response.

(According to Google research the search for copywriters has gone through the roof post-pandemic). In other words - demand is high.

You can also work from wherever you like. I have written copy from a mountain cabin in California to a first-class seat all paid for on a 17-hour plane flight. I have even been paid and re-written headline copy whilst sitting on the sand in Malaysia.

You can create your own copy work and your own work rules as a nomadic globe-travelling copywriter. Or like one of my mentees you can take a job at a high-flying agency like OLGILVY and watch your income soar. The options for copywriters are huge.

PHOTOS; Working from home. Work with clients from home. Work from Sydney, Australia. Work in Santa Cruz California. My old hair salon - 1992.

But Alan, I Have Never Written A Thing.

How can I write copy?

The simple fact of the matter is I will have you writing as a copywriter in - 4-WEEKS - guaranteed (if you do as I say.) I have all of my copywriting mentees before you and all of those mentees ahead of you will do so. You won’t get away with not doing this. My secret method for writing sales copy in just 4-weeks is flies in the face of copywriting convention.

But, I understand why you might think that. Before becoming a copywriter I had never written copy for a client although I had been writing for myself for my hair salons with good success. Let me share this. Here is how I partially learned. I took existing adverts or letters and then created my own version of them.

I will show you how you can take some of the best copy in the world and adjust, tweak and recreate it into your own copy. There is nothing wrong with doing this. We call it swiping in the industry and it is absolutely ethical when done properly.

This is NOT a copy of someone else’s advert this is a new advert or sales copy generated in your mind by you and you only. I will show you a behind-closed-doors secret for doing this in a smart way.

You don’t need experience just a dedication to make this work for you. All you need is to do exactly as I tell you. This means practising for an hour or more each day writing and making sure you read exactly what I tell you to read. It really isn’t that hard.

But saying that, in your first week of mentoring with me, you will write more than you have probably written since school. After just 4 weeks you will be able to write copy I guarantee that.

Alan, Surely I Can Learn Copywriting On My Own … I Really Don’t Need a Mentor?

TRUE – you can - here’s how.

Do this. Go and buy David Ogilvy’s Book on Advertising. Study his adverts. Create your own version of them. Spend 5 years learning and discovering the best way to do things. Read and study the master until 4 am. Then go to bed for just 3 hours only to get up at 7 am to open your salon/business or go to work and then go find some clients.

That’s what I did … so I know it can be done, but - it can take years even decades to learn how to write copy this way.

But also…

When I did it that way it took me years of doing good things, but also years of doing things that didn’t work. Today's marketplace for copywriters is far more complicated and I will tell you why.

It’s a cheap way of doing it yet it’s a costly way because truly your time is money.

Working with me you take a by-pass route and get the truth on what really works from a real copywriting and real business expert. It’s hard to argue against 38 years of pure front-line copywriting experience.

Would you like to get paid and build a full or part-time business as a copywriter? I can tell you being a copywriter can become whatever you turn it into and working with me as you can read further below is not only an unusual experience but will give you insights into techniques that can only be learned over three decades.

Now, Before You Sign Up Just Know … Copywriting Mentor Can Be Intense

This is a serious training course. It isn’t designed to tickle your ears it’s designed so you can walk away from our training and stand alone as a trained copywriter. Why?

  • Study and homework. There is plenty of it and to succeed you must do it.

  • Time intensive. It can swallow up your time hour-by-hour.

  • Daily writing. This is tough but very doable. All of those before you on copywriting mentor did it. It works and you’ll love it.

  • Daily reading. There is plenty to read and plenty to devour.

  • Showing humility - doing as I tell you and respecting my word.

And once more - I expect you to WRITE DAILY at least 1-2 A4 pages. Don’t worry I have a trick that helps you make this easier than it sounds.!

Mark my words, it means taking the mentoring with me very seriously. That means; you don’t send me excuses of why you haven’t done your homework or made progress because something in your life is happening.

Something in your life will always be happening. You must manage your time and steal back time to make sure you get this done. I will show you my ways of managing this effectively.

When I trained as a copywriter everything was happening in my life. I had three salons. I was building my own house. I have had four babies. I lived in a caravan in a field as I was learning. I had to manage around 30 staff. I had no sleep. But I wanted it so I made time and made it happen. Switching off the TV will give you back on average 34 hours per week!

Your time with me on copywriting mentoring passes extremely fast. Before and after you join me you really must take into account everything above and more. And again

  • You MUST write daily.

  • You MUST deliver homework.

  • You MUST avoid excuses.

  • You MUST be committed.

Are you OK with that?

Because if you cannot commit to this please … DO NOT WASTE YOUR CASH … This is a skill for life and it takes effort and work. Once you join I need you to commit so we both get the very best for you. You need to take this as seriously as if you were attending the best university. It will pay off if you do that.

Alan, Is Copywriting MENTOR Worth It and Are Your Skills Worth Paying For?

  • DECADES; For OVER two decades I have been sharing life-changing skills, advice and tips to new mentors just like you.

  • AGAIN & AGAIN; My bespoke copywriting mentor programs have given my new copywriters huge returns on their investments

  • BATTLE-HARDENED; Everything I will share with you has been hard-won on the battlefields of campaigns, businesses and new copywriters like yourself. This battle has been running since 1985.

My Copywriting Skills?

I talked about my life right at the start of this page and how I went from hairdresser to copywriter. I also talked about my huge amount of experiences. Imagine - my first ad copy all those years ago - 1985 - how many copywriters can say that?

And that ad had to work. I had just been fired again. I had also just bought my first small home. Suddenly I had no income. This ad had to work. I wrote and then ran the ad - It worked and my voicemail tape was packed when I got home that day. The ad worked.

Not only have I been paid more than two years’ average wage for one project I have been paid £17,000 for a job that I completed in under 24 hours! But not just copy here is a few of my other skills I will share with you.

  • Speaker: I trained as a speaker at Bible school and have spoken to well over 5,000 attendees in one room. One talk gave me three new clients worth £35,000, £50,000, and £15,000. Another talk gave me £150,000. I will share exactly how you can do that

  • Consultant: I have been hired by companies floating on the stock exchange, the biggest estate agents in the U.K. The 2nd biggest security company in the world and literally hundreds of fiercely independent businesses that want to do more. I can demand as much as £2,000 per hour as a consultant. I will show you the secret to doing that and there is a secret)

  • Writer plus: I am an accomplished writer, author, filmmaker, businessman, copywriter, poet, philosopher, and a father of 6-children. I think you can more than trust my unique set of experiences.

  • Unique approach: Every single mentee since 2004 has told me about my unique approach. They tell me how accessible I am. They rave about how they can message me and get a reply in seconds. In this world that approach to service is unique. That’s the level of service you will get from me.

  • 13 PLUS: I will even share with you my minimum 13 plus ways to utilise your copy skills in a creative way to generate different income streams. Not many copywriters know these or do these. I’ve been doing this for years

  • Discover this: You will discover how to do this: Recently one of my new copywriters invoiced his client for $15,000 and had his invoice paid in advance of the work. He used to work in the building industry and this is his second client. His first client paid $7,500.

  • You get my personal vault of multi-million-pound campaign copy as samples

  • You get my critical and expert eye covering every single word you write as a copywriter

  • You get my business skills

  • You get my private phone number and minute-by-minute access if that’s is what it takes to push you through

  • You even get your own free higher response copywriting website written by myself

  • AND - you get access to my whole digital training catalogue covering years

  • You even get a hard copy of my hugely acclaimed THE CONSULTANT book

I could go on about "‘Is it worth it?’ There is no comparison.

And here’s this bit of honesty; Being a copywriter rebuilt my own life after bankruptcy caused by an insane destructive and brutal divorce. My skills gave me a house, a car and just about everything else needed to rebuild and live a good life.

Today, live a very good life right now as I writer and this week alone I have invoiced just over £25,000 -THIS WEEK ALONE!

Again - Copywriting has given me the most wonderful life, a great income and a great freedom-driven lifestyle. It pays for my house in Cheshire. This is England’s richest area. It paid for my car just a few weeks ago in cash. It paid for everything in the summers when we live abroad for months at a time n our other home in Tbilisi, Georgia.

And can I ask you this? 99% of copywriters struggle and never get within 100 miles of where I am. Surely there is a reason for that.

And there is one more thing you should know about the value here.

  • I DO NOT train you in a GROUP - It’s just me and you.

  • I DO NOT hand you over to an associate to be trained.

  • I DO NOT use the same as everyone else top-drawer manuals or training packages.

In fact even today I rarely take more than 4 copywriting mentor students a year. So it is extremely personal and extremely up close.

Honestly … Is training with me as your copywriting mentor worth it? … What do you think?

YOUR FEE for learning how to become a copywriter in copywriting mentor is a lifetime investment, not a simple course payment.

Did you know the average university fee is £27,750 for a course period? Even worse the average living costs that go with the study are around £33,500. So around £60,000 to learn a graduate course.

Did you also know MOST degrees paid for are never used? Never used because the student isn’t sure what to do with their degree.

You are taking the copywriting training because you now know what you want to do, you know you will use it and you know it’s a lifetime value training with incredible returns.

Over the decades not only have my copywriting skills generated hundreds of millions they have given me a life I would never have had as a hairdresser. I will show you how to do that.

FAQ: Alan, Can I Pay As I Go or as I Earn Money?

NO … not with me so please don’t ask. In my experience, those that do very well in my copywriting mentor are those that are 100% committed.

Your mind shifts when your full investment is made. If the investment isn’t made in full, your mind tells you that you have an opt-out clause. If you want 100% for yourself the investment is paid in full upfront.

FAQ: Alan, Is There One of Those ROCK-SOLID Full Money-Back Guarantees?

If you mean a cash-back refund my answer is - NO - and I will tell you why. (But I will guarantee you this.)

  • 3-Decades: I guarantee you will get over three decades of successful high-end copywriting experience.

  • How To Write: I guarantee to show you how I write sales letters that gave me hundreds of thousands in sales.

  • Insane Skills: I guarantee to show you the skills that have given me a good life I can live on my own terms and work when I want to work.

  • Powerful Tools: I even guarantee to give you all of the tools I use myself to find and close perfect high-paying clients.

  • Time: I guarantee to share with you my time that clients pay £1,200 per hour.

  • Master Mentor: I also guarantee to look over your work, to guide you, to advise you, and to show you the way to becoming a great copywriter.

  • Superb Commitment: I guarantee you my commitment to you during that agreed period we work together.

  • Everything: I guarantee you will have the same tools my previous successful mentor clients have and that have already generated thousands upon thousands of pounds and created new lives and lifestyles for me, previous mentor clients, just like yourself.

BUT ONE THING …

Once we get started two things take place.

I cannot guarantee your behaviour. Even if we work together I reserve the right to fire you as a client at any time if you’re not working in line with what I share with you. Applying and doing it is the only thing I cannot guarantee – that is up to you. If you sign-up and decide AFTER we start to mentor together make sure you really understand the above. …

I do NOT offer any kind of investment refund.

It will be your loss if you fail to study, write or pull out. Be diligent and do your research.

Please take your investment in my copywriting mentor very seriously.

FAQ: So What’s My Risk Taking Your Copywriting Mentor Program?

Your risk is this - and this is based on what I have seen over the decades. If you don’t listen to me, don’t do as I tell you the risk is nothing will happen to you. Do as I tell you and stick to what I tell you and your risk is reduced. Listen very closely, practice and do as I say and your risk is as good as zero.

This will also reduce your risk dramatically. This is also a repeat. As you can. see it isn’t rocket science.

  • YOU MUST: Do your homework

  • YOU MUST: Send in your homework

  • YOU MUST: Write daily without fail

  • YOU MUST: Ask lots of questions

  • YOU MUST: Create simple action lists and take action weekly

Also do not forget I have already spent over 38 years writing best-selling sales copy, creating huge lasting success and making clients happy. I am still learning. Train your mind to understand this is for the long haul and work accordingly.

WARNING: IF You Are Desperate And Need Cash Urgently or Are Terrified Of Losing Your Investment … My Copywriting Mentor Program Isn’t For You

Most of the zombie copy trainers online sell the get-quick-rich dream. I don’t. The reality is that you can read from my testimonials and huge experience is most of my clients get their investment back pretty fast.

Recently a copywriting mentee- Chris - had his investment back in just 3-weeks (his full investment and more) yet not all mentor clients are like that. Nick emailed me two years after his training to let me know he had finally been hired by a top agency to write copy.

Susan also emailed me to report she had been headhunted by the famous Ogilvy Agency to become a copywriter (because she had been trained by me). Kyle reported something similar. Yet, I have also had Steve who generated over $90,000 in just 12 weeks. The variable is far too great to cover any fear and speed on your investment. (note; results are not typical)

All I can say is this. It will happen as fast as YOU make it happen. I cannot make you the world’s best copywriter or pile riches on you. I can only guarantee to share with you what I have been doing and what I have trained others to do very successfully now for over three decades.

Is Becoming a Transition Copywriter From Job To Writer For You?

Let me take you back a step in my own life.

By the late 90s, I not only had three salons, but I was working insane hours over 7-days a week for years. My staff were getting paid more than I was when it came to pounds per hour. I would drive a short 5 miles every morning which would take one hour.

I would drive back at 6 pm miserable, rushed, hassled, and tired. I was getting well paid but I wasn’t living a life I loved. Becoming a copywriter literally changed every single aspect of my life.

Suddenly, I was working from home. I was working fewer and fewer hours. Some days I never worked I simply did my own thing and hung out around my home or went for walks or did something a little more creative.

I once got an emergency copy job booked that had to be returned and finished to my client by morning. I literally had 12 hours to write this letter. I got paid in advance. The payment was $17,000 for a single letter.

I sat up all night and wrote the letter. I delivered the letter. The client was happy. I still had to open my salons without sleeping the night before. Despite the fact, that my working hours had now become strange I was getting paid outrageous amounts for writing.

I once got sent £5,000 and asked if I could write a letter ASAP. I was getting on a plane at the time so I wrote the letter on the flight to Australia - £5000 for a letter whilst I was flying business class (thank you, Paul).

I got sent another project for a client that sent me £20,000. He not only asked me to write his letter but told me ‘no rush just do something amazing.’

That letter pulled the client just under £2 million in sales and he rewarded me very well for the copy I created for him. And just to get perspective sometimes clients send me a grand or so just for advice. These are the notifications I get from PayPal.

Like I said becoming a copywriter can and will change your life at the level you need your life to become. All you need to ask yourself is …

What Do You Want From Your Copywriting Mentor Training?

Have you asked yourself the all-important question? “What do I want from this training?’

It really is important that you know. Some of my copywriters want to go and get a high-flying job in an agency and they do it. Others want to hang out in places like LinkedIn and other job markets and get hired there and that’s great. And others, they want to develop a full-blown work-from-home lifestyle like me and they also manage to do that.

So you must ask yourself that question. You must be able to answer that question also. This will give you the clarity to move forward. Maybe ask yourself a bit like this.

“Alan, I want to learn everything I need to know from a real copywriting expert. I am patient, but would like to do this as fast as possible. I would like to replace my current wage and then create a plan to double my income. This way I can work a nomadic job and travel the world.

Maybe write a little like that. Ultimately it’s an important question you should ask.

I have mentored highly experienced copywriters, relatively new copywriters with a few years of experience, and copywriters from scratch.

Before You Book Me As Your Copywriting Mentor Here’s a Few Reminders Of What You Should Do…

Commit to this…

  • BOOK TIME: Book a time that you will not miss each week. Take this booking as seriously as a doctor’s appointment and do not miss it

  • LOCKED DOOR: Lock yourself in a space that is disturbance-proof. You need to make sure you have a clear head with no distractions.

  • WRITE WRITE WRITE: Write every day without fail. I will show you what to write and how to write. It’s easier than you might be thinking.

  • HOMEWORK: Get your homework back on time.

  • YOUR MIND: Train your mind to do new things. I will show you how to fast-track those changes.

  • LISTEN AND RESPECT: Listen close and do as I tell you and you will move forward faster with more success.

  • COPY ME: For now - don’t try and do things your own way - it’s essential for you that you copy what I show you.

  • TIME PASSES: Maximise every minute with me. Mentor time always passes very quickly, make the most of every minute.

  • NO EXCUSE: Offer zero excuses for not doing things.

  • COMMIT YOURSELF: COMMIT COMMIT AND COMMIT.

Businesses Need Copywriters – According To Google 2023 The Demand Is Bigger Than Ever

In the UK alone there are over four million businesses. All of those businesses need a copywriter. In the USA the number is far higher in the tens of millions.

  • CLIENTS: I will show you how to filter through those huge numbers and find clients that will happily pay you more in a week than you could ever earn in 6-months

  • WAGES: Or I will show you how to replace your wage by getting paid to write

  • PART-TIME: Or I can show you how to get paid a decent amount working part-time when and how you want.

  • EASY: And it isn’t as hard or as tough or as complicated as some might tell you.

  • FAST-TRACK MENTOR: A mentor that can take you a faster route otherwise it can take years and years.

  • EXPERIENCED: A mentor with a real business, real copy, and realistic, bespoke training experience.

I’m happy to share with you how I did it and how you can easily become a copywriter. If you can do that - book me now.

What Else Can You Actually Buy With Your Copywriting Mentor Investment?

It won’t buy you a house.

  • USED CAR: It might buy a decent used car that depreciates fast and after four years is worthless.

  • HOLIDAY: It might pay for a family holiday once a year and then you have to find another £14,995 for the next holiday.

  • WEDDING: It would never cover the cost of a wedding (if you have a daughter).

  • HOME REPAIR: It wouldn’t pay for a decent extension on your house that’s for sure.

  • MOVE HOME: You cannot emigrate with such a small amount

  • BUY STUFF: And on eBay, you can buy some pretty strange collector things for that price and more but let’s face it they lie there as part of a collection and that is it.

Once You’re Booked Into Copywriting Mentor You Are Investing In a New Way To Design Your Life and Income

I could go on and on but with your Copywriting Mentor program, you get a skill that not only is with you for life, but is a skill that could transform your life, your income, and your daily everything and also give you the ability to earn literally anything you want.

The following are real numbers from real copywriting projects.

  • How does a check for £74,000 sound?

  • How about one for £84,000

  • Or another for £15,000

  • How about a check for £5,000 five times a month?

  • How does payment for life sound from your clients sound?

  • How does the sound of £50,000 for 90 minutes of talk?

That is the depth of highly skilled detail on how to make money you will discover on your copywriting MENTOR.

Now is the time for you to decide. This isn’t for everyone, but if you listen closely, do as I tell you, work hard at home, do your homework, and WRITE DAILY … It’s an amazing career for you.

It’s no secret that you can get paid staggering amounts per year or incredible amounts per hour. I personally went from £7 per hour to £1,500 per hour. You can earn as much as you want to earn but it depends on how many hours you want to write and how much free time you want to do nothing or do your own thing.

I am ready to help you make the changes a copywriter.

20 years ago I took in my first copywriting mentors. That was a powerful moment. It set a bunch of new copywriters off and into a brave new world for them. Looking back it was exciting because it was so new. Today is even more exciting because the possibilities for new copywriters like you are just huge.

My programs have been refined to the point they are based on everything you need to know yet at the same time they are absolutely 100% bespoke for YOU rather than me the teacher.

The tools are better, The teaching is better. My support for you is second to none (so I keep getting told) and what you will learn from me at your side will help you to people yourself quickly into a new career, life and business.

The evidence for copywriting mentor proves that to be the case. 20 years teaching, dozens of highly successful new copywriters produced. I can’t wait to share copywriting mentor and its success with you.

Once you sign up I will be in touch with you right away. Don’t worry I will get you started comfortably and quickly.

Are You Ready To Do This?

See Your Copywriting MENTOR Investment Options Below

IMPORTANT: I always get asked which option I would take, option one or two?

My answer is this. I began writing copy as far back as 1985. I began taking my copywriting really seriously after that. Today I am still learning. Learning the skill of copy is a skill in itself, but learning the art of building a copywriting business is a whole other story. My copy generates a lot of money annually and it gives me a great lifestyle. But it took me a long time to truly work out the difference between a copywriter and a real business-building copywriter. Option two is where it is all revealed.

You have to see this as

  • A serious business training

  • An investment for life

  • An amazing opportunity to change everything

Imagine this; If this was a brick-and-mortar business on a street you would take it seriously, right? Just because I am sitting here at home right now typing to you in my dressing gown that doesn’t make my business any less serious. This is a serious business that requires a serious well-thought-through investment.

So back to the question … my answer is I would take OPTION TWO - hands down. Why? Because it has everything to propel you into a new world. It helps you take shortcuts and fast-track your copy business. It is designed to help you not just get back your investment fast, but to help you build a serious long-term business.

I launched OrangeBeetle.com way back in 1999 and I am still here. I will take you by the hand, show you how I did that, how you can do that, and share everything I can for you so you can have the same business longevity through your copy business that I have had.

Most take option 2. Option 1. is still good and packed with bespoke training.

“THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE”

For many of you who may be considering entering into a mentoring arrangement with Alan, please allow me to help clarify what may be ahead for you….and for your life….

If, like I was only 6 months ago, you find yourself at a crossroads in life where, for the first time, for maybe one or a multitude of reasons, you’re experiencing the desire to make significant and long-lasting changes to not only what it is you do for a living, but how you live and the reasons why then Alan is the answer.

From our starting point together just a few months ago, Alan and I have created a magical and highly productive bond together, one that has allowed me to create a new direction in my life, and to approach that direction with certainty and the belief that I can achieve what it is I desire.

Rest assured, nothing is ever achieved without a lot of hard work, commitment and strategic thinking.

For my own experience, Alan has been instrumental in bringing out the best in what it is that I want to achieve in my business life…by bringing out the best in me.

This hasn’t been achieved without a commitment on both of our parts to do what it takes to communicate openly and to have flexible schedules in working together (especially as we’re located across the world from each other.)

Yes, it’s been a journey of detailed emails, early morning and late evening conversations, and strategic thinking together, all in a respectful and non-judgmental manner.

The results have been incredible for myself, as I’ve experienced and created a new business path, including what I now want to do, how I want to do it while believing that I can achieve the lifestyle and life results that for far too long eluded me.

The possibilities ahead of me are endless and I believe highly profitable.

The lifestyle which I know I’ll be experiencing, thanks to Alan’s insightful guidance, is something that everyone should be able to attain in their lifetime. And they can…with the right skills, systems and beliefs. If you’ve read this far, you’re probably the right type of person to work with Alan, and he’s probably right for you.

But, I must say, be ready for it, because if you do what it takes, and follow his recommendations, the journey will be transformational and unforgettable!

All the best to you….here’s to your future!

Finally got what I was looking for

“Thanks again for helping me to find the courage to do this”

Hello Alan

Thank you very much for all your help with the Mentor-ship course. I have learnt tons of new information. Finally got what I was looking for:

  • Helped me to find the niche that suits me best

  • Gave my insights how to draw out more from my writing skills

  • How to write and create successful sales letters – online and offline

  • Helped me to established the right way on my own website

  • Gave me the insider information of how to deal with clients – negotiating, invoicing, and their different personality traits

  • Several ways of getting paid big, medium and small amounts

  • Your own detailed systems so I can copy and build my business

  • How to position myself to get client to come to me

  • And so much more over 12-weeks and now the ongoing support.

And now, finally, I am on the final stages of establishing myself as a Consultant – Copywriter. Something I have been pondering about doing for the last 5 years. But never had the guts to transition from my dull 9 to 5 day job to my dream as working for myself. 

Thanks again for helping me to find the courage to do this.

Regards

New copywriter, Ali Khan

“This is Caroline Sanderson. I’m a SALON MENTOR student of Alan’s.

I took the plunge and entered SALON MENTOR with Alan.

Anyone thinking of working with Alan I would say go for it

I had to fight back the ‘I cant afford it demons’ and go for it because I knew if I wanted really fast track change with my hair salon I needed to invest and spend time with someone who had been there done it.

I can hardly believe THE CHANGE in not only my business but in ME.

Alan’s strategies and advice with guidance took my business to a 53.4% rise in one month, 116% rise in one year. It would have been more but I had to make HUGE decisions along the way to create the hairdressing salon of my dreams which meant having the confidence to make changes and get the people out who I knew deep down were not right for me and my business in the long term.

I don’t know how long it would have taken me to make these changes without Alan’s support. ‘GO FOR IT. (if ever)

With Alan’s support, I made the changes and STILL made the 116% growth.

I have taken what Alan has taught me with my own skills and knowledge and have not only taken my business to near full capacity but he have given me a better understanding of business and I am just about to launch 2 big projects out with the salon.

I now have the confidence and knowledge to push my career forward and create the work life I want… He has GENIUS IDEAS that were so inspiring I didn’t take much time to get excited and start putting them into action.

Anyone thinking of working with Alan I would say go for it. There’s absolutely no question – It will change your life like it did mine.

Here is how my salon business and life look AFTER SALON MENTOR.

  • I have 12-weeks Holiday Each Year

  • I work ONE Day a Week On The Salon Floor

  • Bought a new Car

  • New Client Rate Up To 32%

  • Rebooking from 15% to 180%

  • New Staff Applications Through The Roof

  • From Salon Zero To Number One in my City

  • Marketing Budget Reduced To Almost Zero

  • Ability To Fill My Salon in Less Than An Hour

  • Number one Facebook Salon in my city

  • Mastered Facebook for Client Management

  • New Website On Page One of Google

  • Existing Stylists All Packed Out Every day

  • Salon Services UP 105%

  • Retail Sales UP 72%

And More?

Thanks, Alan!

“Why being involved with Alan is a smart investment”

From Mentor Copywriter Neil Shepard

I don’t know about you, but being a freelancer in any business can be lonely at times. Even more so as a copywriter… why is that?

Well, for me freelance copywriters are almost crazy…

I mean who would want to lock themselves away from life for hours, days, weeks, even months at a time trying to understand every type of business that comes across our desks.

Most business owners don’t appreciate the time and brainpower that goes into a campaign that sells.

Sometimes we can get lost in our own business… and that can be costly.

That’s why being involved with Alan is a smart investment.

Because having someone with a proven track record of delivering results for 32 years in the real world of business (not textbook theory) carefully and strategically dissecting my business was priceless…

For example… during the mastermind weekend, I was getting advice and solutions to a specific problem in my business and a way to solve them fast.

Mentor has given me plenty to think about, and a precise plan of action to ensure I get there. Plus and this is a BIG plus – copious amounts of espressos were consumed!

Thanks, Alan – this changes everything

Neil Shepard

“Played a key role in my journey to freedom, no more 9-5…”

I met Alan 2 years into my sales copy career. 

When we talked first, I was struggling to find work, lurching from one low paying client to another. 

And getting no attention, results or reputation. 

One hour with Alan was not cheap-but the results spoke for themselves. 

He showed me… 

  • How to stand out from other copywriters

  • How to create an attention grabbing website that positioned me the right way to make more money

  • How to create a killer offer

  • How to attract and convert more visitors into customers

  • How to write great copy that gets amazing results for my clients

  • How to take my business to market

  • How to charge more and deliver more value (I doubled my fees)

  • How to make money from consulting and not just by writing all the time

I still consult with Alan and get his input on how to boost the conversions of any campaign I’m working on.

He has played a key role in my journey to freedom, no more 9-5, living life on my own terms, and getting paid what I’m worth.

Thanks, Alan.

“I feel inspired and encouraged to keep pushing the bar higher”

From Mentor Gary Spinks

As you know, I study what’s out there and have invested in different ways over the years to develop myself and the business. What is out there at the moment is a lot of noise, misinformation, formula-based products, get-rich-quick schemes and template-style “done for you” services. And it’s easy for people to get sucked into that feeling that these widely promoted offers will provide the answers and be the magic silver bullet for success.

When I listen to you talk about business, the way you work and what works it’s a very different experience. It’s a reality check. It’s a more realistic and genuine conversation. You’ve made me think. You’ve made me question things I took to be ‘truth’. You’ve made me dig deeper into what I really want and how to make that happen. There are challenges ahead to go with all that yet I feel inspired and encouraged to keep pushing the bar higher.

This weekend was not so much about the art of copywriting, designing ads or a ‘how to’ of direct marketing (though you did share some neat insights on the practical side of creating the sales message). No, this weekend went deeper. It was about the business of being a different kind of copywriter, a different kind of strategist, a different kind of marketer.

The Mastermind reinforced and built on my learning during your MENTOR program. I value your advice, suggestions and feedback. The rest is now down to me.

Thanks, Gary Spinks

Actually, Alan has shown me even more than that – too much to write here. I got my first copywriting client that spent over £2,000 after just 8 weeks in the copywriting business.”

“Meeting Alan in person was an experience I’ll never forget”

Dear Friend,

It all started with an email Not just any email An email from ALAN FORREST SMITH

The email contained an important message that would ultimately change my life and business forever… More on that in a minute… Please allow me to introduce myself my name’s Neil Shepherd, my client’s call me ‘The Email Specialist’ I’m guessing that’s because my emails

  • GRAB ATTENTION

  • GET READ

  • CONVERT

Back to the email from Alan You see, there was an opportunity to spend 2 days at Alan’s home focusing on my business…

The problem was I had NO money to book my place and I couldn’t borrow any more because of

  • 2 Maxed out credit cards

  • Overdraft at bursting point

  • 2 personal loans

  • Car on finance

  • Big mortgage

Not to mention 3 people depending on me (my gorgeous Fiancé Samantha our two girls Amy aged 9 and Katie aged 6) That would put most people off wouldn’t it?

So how did I find the money? I made it my fierce goal to work relentlessly over the coming months, it wasn’t easy but I managed to do it

Meeting Alan in person was an experience I’ll never forget he genuinely cares about you and listens to your problems and gives honest and helpful advice Here I was sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee and chatting… How many trainers pull back the curtains and let you see inside their home?

It wasn’t all smiles though Alan kindly ripped my business apart and revealed exactly where I was hemorrhaging money and how I could rebuild it a better way

Here’s how those 2 days mentoring with Alan was the BEST investment I’ve made

  1. I’ve raised my fees and no longer feel bad about sending invoices

  2. I’ve started getting paid at least 50% upfront on projects (I use to wait 30 days and then have to chase invoices)

  3. I’m writing every day

  4. My websites have been tweaked and converting better

  5. I’m more confident talking with clients

  6. My copy flows better

  7. I manage my time

Alan can show you how to do this and more… Let me finish with… If you’re sitting on the fence and procrastinating about mentor with Alan ask yourself this very important question… “How much is it costing you NOT being mentored by Alan?” Call Alan today because it could CHANGE everything for you

This hasn’t been achieved without a commitment on both of our parts to do what it takes to communicate openly and to have flexible schedules in working together (especially as we’re located across the world from each other.) 

Yes, it’s been a journey of detailed emails, early morning and late evening conversations, and strategic thinking together, all in a respectful and non-judgmental manner.

The results have been incredible for myself, as I’ve experienced and created a new business path, including what I now want to do, how I want to do it while believing that I can achieve the lifestyle and life results that for far too long eluded me. 

The possibilities ahead of me are endless and I believe highly profitable.

The lifestyle which I know I’ll be experiencing, thanks to Alan’s insightful guidance, is something that everyone should be able to attain in their lifetime. And they can…with the right skills, systems and beliefs. If you’ve read this far, you’re probably the right type of person to work with Alan, and he’s probably right for you.

But, I must say, be ready for it, because if you do what it takes, and follow his recommendations, the journey will be transformational and unforgettable! 

All the best to you….here’s to your future!

“It was well worth it”

Alan thanks for your training program and Mastermind meeting – it’s real powerhouse stuff. Working with you has really opened my eyes, lifted my sights and given me powerful insights into how to make things possible. I’m making some BIG changes this year so thanks for shifting my thinking. Gary Spinks

As a result of my association with Alan, I am a much better copywriter than I ever thought possible. My writing is on a much higher plane and I can produce sales letters and adverts now which are far superior to anything I’ve done in the past with this new knowledge that I’ve gained from him.

For me, it was well worth it. 

Stuart Price

 “$90,000 Within Weeks”

Hey mate,

After we were talking on the phone the other day I got to thinking about the last couple of years since we first met… and about what being trained by you has done for me in that time.

It’s pretty crazy and amazing really so I just wanted to share it with you in writing so that if you want to share it with others you can… and they can get a real insight into how great of a bloke you are and how you’ve got the goods to help them too.

A Lot to be Thankful for…

I’ve a lot to be thankful for as a result of knowing and being mentored by you and I know they will be too if they take the chance to attend one of your programs.

Obviously, when we met back in 2005 I was a complete novice when it came to advertising, copywriting and marketing – I knew nothing. The first material I’d literally ever read on any of those topics was the material you and Brett sent me as a thank you for signing up for the Advertising Masterclass. You couldn’t find someone who knew less about those topics than me.

As you know, I left at the end of that weekend of the Masterclass with you certain I had everything I could ever need to know to make a fantastic living writing great ads and creating successful businesses using it. I assured you I’d be a success as a result.

To keep this short… here we are in 2007 and looking back in hindsight I’ve been through a lot, achieved a load and have a lot to be thankful for as a result of everything you’ve done for me.

You know that within 12 weeks of the Masterclass I was working with some of the biggest direct marketing entrepreneurs in Australia… as well as doing jobs for you and your clients.

$90,000 Within Weeks

And I remember our chat when I had lined up $90,000 worth of work in those 12 weeks too. Life was phenomenal for me… couldn’t stop smiling and laughing about the cash on offer and all the while I’m working when I want and cruising down to the beach for a swim and relax with my mates on weekdays whenever they were free from their 40 or 60hr/week jobs.

Less than a year later I’m heading over to England on your invitation to speak at your next Masterclass. I knew I’d earned it because of the hard work I’d done but couldn’t believe I was flying across the world to speak beside you at your seminars.

These days I’m working with entrepreneurs and businesses across the world, Australia, the U.S, the UK making great money (one job I’m about to start is making me more in 4 days than I’d get paid for 2 months of work in a top business firm here in Dublin)!

Busy Making Money

And on top of my own work, I’m busy with joint

ventures with partners overseas as well as just having launched a new company with a business partner in America that’s going to be super-profitable for me.

But more importantly than all the business success I have to thank you for, it’s the freedom in life that’s the true gift.

I have a freedom in my life that most people will never have.

You know I love doing my martial arts training. I’ve been able to go to Japan to train several times in the last few years and could literally go and live there if I wanted because I can set up my business anywhere and work from anywhere. How many people can do that?

Over the last couple of years I’ve taken trips to different places around the world to visit friends from other countries. I’ve literally just done this when I’ve felt like it with little or know interruption to my business. How many people can do that?)

And most important, as you know I was just recently able to relocate overseas to live with my girlfriend with very little hassle. How many people can do that?

How many people can do these things, literally just up and move their entire lives overseas without it affecting their businesses at all? Well I could and it’s thanks to you more than anyone else.

My Lifestyle … AWESOME!

Almost everyone I meet who asks what I do, thinks my lifestyle sounds awesome – many are straight up jealous. I tell them they could have it too, they just have to do what I have and find someone like you who knows what they’re talking about and really cares.

I could go on for ages but you know the deal. Like everything else in life, business is a game that has it’s up and downs. It’s no secret that the most successful people in life have failed more times than they’ve succeeded. A large factor in creating that success is who they’ve got beside them as mentors and allies. I wouldn’t have it any other way than having you beside me as mine.

You’ve Been There So I Succeeded

You’ve been there for me over the last couple of years more than I ever expected.

When I’ve needed help, advice or guidance – I’ve got it.

When I’ve suffered a setback and needed a friend who understands what I’m going through – I’ve got it.

And when I’ve had a major success or achieved a goal – I’ve got it.

All from you. I simply can’t say thank you enough for that.

On top of all of this, what’s even more amazing is that in working with you, I’m still learning from you every time we talk… even after 2 ½ years. (If that’s not proof of how much you know and have to offer then I don’t know what is).

I’ll wrap this up now as it’s already too long. I wanted it to be something others could quickly read and understand that you’re a class act all round… as a copywriter and marketer, as a business teacher and mentor, and more importantly as a person.

I consider myself VERY LUCKY to have had the benefit of both learning from you and working with you.

I consider myself very lucky to have had the benefit of both learning from you and working with you. And even more so I consider myself lucky to have you as a friend.

Thanks for everything… and here’s to an even brighter future for us both (along with everyone else smart enough to do business with us)! ;)

MENTOR & Freelance Direct Response Copywriter, Jason Strachan Specialist In Self Improvement Informational Products

"Here's what I’ve been up to so far, since the being MENTORED.

Copywriter Jason Strachan

My very first copywriting job Since Starting Full Time Paid me $2500, –Before I Even picked Up a Pen! PLUS 10% Royalties, On all the CASH the sales letter pulled.

To Sum It Up: “…Thanks to what I learned from Alan, I Can Now Write Cash Generating Copy Every time That PULLS-AND-PULLS STRAIGHT CASH ORDERS LIKE YOU WERE GIVING AWAY FREE GOLD OR SOMETHING! "

Hi I'm Jason Strachan Before Mentoring With Alan Forrest Smith in 2005. I knew hardly anything about copywriting. And Now? ..I am a certified copywriting MASTER SALES WIZARD –My Magical Sales Skills Make Harry Potter Look Like Paul Daniels!! (Who?..My Point Exactly!!)

Now if you just give me a standard biro pen and paper, and stand back. I can powerfully string together words that create sales messages so powerful, that people find it harder to IGNORE than to just read it all through… And THEN once they’re engrossed in reading it. After using my skills to show them so clearly how great your product or service is, they then convince THEMSELVES that they would have to be INSANE not to buy RIGHT NOW than to risk passing this up —Such is the power of sales power in PRINT.– “LOOK..I am In LOVE!!” In love, with my new copywriting skills.

I now use them all the time. Not Just to write winning promotions for clients, hell I even use these skills to charm ladies I meet with seductive e-mails –Hey why not, It’s good practice, seduction, salesmanship, its all the SAME THING!!—If you ever get a chance to get MENTORED with Alan yourself, you’ll understand what I mean. I kid you not.

Before I made the commitment and really get the business and FINANCIAL money making, side of my life sorted out once and for all… I must say my life was a huge empty hole… Full of gunk and depression. I used to spend my time, ditching classes and write depressing love poems, and zoned out sci-fi tales with hope that one day someone would publish my work, but no one ever did …(can you hear the violins playing away in the background, say Aaaaah?) …And in a nutshell, it was getting me no where fast! And neither was the particular degree I was doing either, which was about as useful as a MASTERS DEGREE in basket weaving. .. So anyway I dropped out of college.

Much to my parents disgust. And decided to stop wasting my writing talents pouring out my ego onto paper hoping one day that, that GENIUS in me would escape… And after meeting Alan Forrest Smith I singed up and got the money and went like a SHOT from a rocket, hurtling ONLY ONE WAY and that was UP!. … Now years later, I am now GETTING PAID to write copy. I work with a select amount of clients, who come to me on a STRICT referral basis. “And No I Don’t Have A Website And Have Never Needed to Advertise My Services..”

Due to the highly advanced and not too mention insanely profitable skills I’ve learned from Alan Forrest Smith, I am in HIGH DEMAND in the market place. I now have the secrets of how to create Advertising that can boost ANY business in my mind….And after seeing –and enjoying!—The results of these skills, all I can is, copywriting really is the ULTIMATE money making skill in the world—BAR NONE! I can now work –or not work—Any Place I choose, and If I put my mind to it, there is no limit to the amount of money I can generate if I choose to use my skills for myself full time. NO LIMIT. Although for me personally, I just want enough money that I can just keep the totally FREE FUN FILLED lifestyle I lead, spending as much time with the family as I want, working when I want, and with WHO I want, I love it more than any amount of money, I have no desire to become the richest stiff in the grave! …

LOOK BEING TAUGHT BY ALAN … Is like Stepping Into Clark Kent's Phone Booth And Emerging As Super “Persausion” Man! For my very first copywriting job since starting Full Time I received $2500, + a 10% Royalty. Just like they (Alan Forrest Smith ) promised, with the Advertising secrets, strategies and techniques you learn from the Master you can easily pay back the cost of the class with the first successful package you write for yourself or a client.

And TRUST ME getting your first client becomes MUST easier to do, when you have 1st hand personal training from two of the WORLDS most successful copywriters pasted into your C.V. – And since most copywriters out there today couldn’t sell a breast to a baby, its even easier for a good copywriter to claim a FORTUNE!— …Alan Forrest Smith FORCED SO MANY Advertising Secrets Down My Throat That To This Day I Still Spit and Burp’ Out’ World Class Headlines and Marketing Strategies!!”

Look, without a doubt the ULTIMATELY great thing about MENTOR was the great support that Alan give to you, AFTER the MENTOR is over...so generous and they just over deliver again and AGAIN…. AFTER mentor is when the “REAL” value of the mentor kicks in, to hyper drive. Because when it all hits the fan and you get your 1st client, even after having ALL these masterful skills at your disposal, its hard to know exactly what to do, how to handle the client etc, you’re in totally un-chartered territory…

That’s when the mentor is worth MILLIONS!! With special email access to Alan for up to 12 months after my training — and he always emailed me back within 24 hours—you can get immediate assistance to your questions or problem. It’s like having your very own genies locked in a bottle, except NOW you have an UNLIMITED number of wishes!-

His crucial help and guidance from one of the best copywriters on the PLANET! Pretty much ensures that any copy you write is going to do pretty well. Most people considering starting a freelance copywriting career would have to find out how things work through hard trial and error. And since business is so unforgiving a client will rarely give you a second chance…If you what you write for a client BOMBS and produces no results, 99% of the time your finished with that client! So having these a mentor there to guide you with your new skills is really worth, more than the investment itself! As just one good client can be worth 6 figures a year, or MORE.

My life has been sensational since working with Alan and breaking into world class copywriting. It’s still early days for me, and I’ve bumped my head and make stupid mistakes, and learned from them, but its just make me stronger, better, And I’m loving every minute of it! I already feel like a great success. And I Truly LOVE my life. (Isn’t it sad how many people out there, cannot honestly say that to themselves?)

I’d just like to sincerely THANK ,from the bottom of my heart to the very top—Alan Forrest Smith for MENTOR, and generously giving me the keys to access, wealth, happiness, even a NEW LIFE of abundance and JOY!

THANK YOU!

P.S Listen… If you have the chance TO BE MENTORED BY ALAN then GO DO IT. No Question about it. The money you spend, on a place, Is NOTHING compared to the money you will make if you intend to use what you learn over your lifetime. You will have teaching from Alan non stop. Filling your mind with all his skills and experience. Its definitely a life changer, a LIFE BOOSTING FINANCIALLY FREEING EVENT!! No matter what you do, what industry it doesn’t matter. The techniques taught in MENTOR will put you so far ahead of every other business owner out there, just by simply applying what you learn, and sticking with it, success becomes inevitable for you, whatever success means for you..

Ultimately, Alan's MENTOR Can Make You Get It!

Thank you

MENTOR student Dan Moore

Now and then it's nice for me to share a clients little story. Dan is a mentor member of mine.

That's Dan above showing off in his custom car. He sent it to make me jealous, he knows I love custom everything.

Sometimes life isn't as smooth as we like, as you'll read.

Dan used to be a plumber. I say used to be, he is self-employed now rather than working for his dad. They never fell out, in fact quite the opposite, Dan worked with his dad until his dad died very suddenly.

It was Dad's business Dan worked in. It was Dad's house Dan lived in. Suddenly a steady, OK, paced lived went hurtling down towards the ground with no immediate stop in sight.

Not only was that bad enough but Dan lived with his dad and now his dads home for whatever reason was being taken back with Dan being asked to leave ASAP!

When Dan was speaking to me he told me the thought of starting his own plumbing business from scratch or patching up his Dad's bankrupt business had zero appeal for him.

He had an idea.

It was this and it was this based on research.

Women want to look younger. Women want breasts they feel good about. The marketplace is huge yet Dan found a serious hole in supply that he decided to fill.

That's what Dan did.

He sourced premium grade products, discovered how to put the product in front of the buyers and began to sell his stuff. Sounds easy I know but it wasn't.

The reason it wasn't because Dan had found the magic formula of sending steady traffic in his webpage's yet converting into buyers was low.

That's when he go in touch with me. We looked over his marketing and campaign again.

For me some things were blatantly obvious. Dan had become good at writing copy but it was in that usual formulaic way most people are taught.

Here was his problem.

His copy was good but it never matched his target audience.

We changed it.

He makes money … in fact last time we spoke he had done around $98,000 in sales. Not bad for a plumber!

So he sent me this little note.

Here it is.

"When I joined Alan as his mentor student I outlined what I wanted from him starting with my website, within the first week he critiqued my site detailing the changes to make on the copy and layout. After adjusting the sales copy and layout how he explained by the second week my sales conversion increased by a staggering 3% from 0.8% to 3.8%.

So that's going from one sale to four sales! In other words increased my sales FOUR-FOLD!

I just did what he suggested I do!

I didn't even have to spend more money on driving any extra traffic to make more sales. He knows just what potential customers are thinking and also showed me exactly how I can communicate with them more effectively by using results based copywriting techniques.

This was my key to selling!

Alan is insightful and inspiring, whenever I finish a mentor call with him I always feel energised and can't wait to put his strategies into action.

IF you know where you want to take your business Alan will help you get there for sure."

Internet entrepreneur, Dan Moore.

Just in case you're wondering, Dan managed to buy his Dad's old house. He's now making enough money to not only buy his own place but also get a custom show car in his hands that I'm jealous of.

“transformational and unforgettable”

"Alan, mentor is by far the best business decision I have made. Having flown up from Devon to meet you I now feel that this is not just another one of those fleeting programs. So far I have been able to press the reset button for success with your help and guidance.

My relationships at home and with my family have taken a turn for the better. I have been able to 
put in some solid foundation blocks on which I will build a fortress for
the future. The path ahead is very much clearer than it was 6 weeks ago
 and I feel a large surge in confidence as I move ahead.

Thanks Alan and team! For many of you who may be considering entering into a mentoring arrangement with Alan, please allow me to help clarify what may be ahead for you….and for your life…. If, like I was only 6 months ago, you find yourself at a crossroads in life where, for the first time, for may be one or a multitude of reasons, you’re experiencing the desire to make significant and long-lasting changes to not only what it is you do for a living, but how you live and the reasons why, then Alan is the answer. 
From our starting point together just a few months ago, Alan and I have created a magical and highly productive bond together, one that has allowed me to create a new direction in my life, and to approach that direction with certainty and the belief that I can achieve what it is I desire.

Rest assured, nothing is ever achieved without a lot of hard work, commitment and strategic thinking. 
For my own experience, Alan has been instrumental in bringing out the best in what it is that I want to achieve in my business life…by bringing out the best in me.

This hasn’t been achieved without a commitment on both of our parts to do what it takes to communicate openly and to have flexible schedules in working together (especially as we’re located across the world from each other.) Yes, it’s been a journey of detailed emails, early morning and late evening conversations, and strategic thinking together, all in a respectful and non-judgmental manner. 
The results have been incredible for myself, as I’ve experienced and created a new business path, including what I now want to do, how I want to do it, while believing that I can achieve the lifestyle and life results that for far too long eluded me. The possibilities ahead of me are endless and I believe highly profitable.

The lifestyle which I know I’ll be experiencing, thanks to Alan’s insightful guidance, is something that everyone should be able to attain in their lifetime. And they can…with the right skills, systems and beliefs. If you’ve read this far, you’re probably the right type of person to work with Alan, and he’s probably right for you. 
But, I must say, be ready for it, because if you do what it takes, and follow his recommendations, the journey will be transformational and unforgettable! All the best to you….here’s to your future!

“It will change your life like it did mine”

I’m an ongoing MENTOR student of Alan’s.

One year ago I took the plunge and entered MENTOR with Alan.

I had to fight back the ‘I cant afford it demons’ and go for it because I knew if I wanted real fast track change with my hair salon I needed to invest and spend time with someone who had been there done it.

I can hardly believe the change in not only my business but in ME.

Alan’s strategies and advice with guidance and fun along the way took my business to a 52% rise in one year. 

I don’t know how long it would have taken me to make these changes without Alan’s support. ‘GO FOR IT. (if ever)

With Alan’s support I made the changes and STILL made the 52% growth.

I have taken what Alan has taught me with my own skills and knowledge and have not only taken my business to near full capacity but he have given me a better understanding of business and I am just about to launch 2 big projects out with the salon.

I now have the confidence and knowledge to push my career forward and create the work life I want… He has genius ideas that were so inspiring I didn’t take much time to get excited and start putting them into action.

Anyone thinking of working with Alan I would say go for it. There’s absolutely no question – It will change your life like it did mine.

Caroline Sanderson

“He’s on your team every step of the way”

Alan wants you to succeed. He really does. When you work with him he’s not just a consultant, he’s on your team every step of the way.

The key thing is that he has proven tools and experience in his armoury to help you discover your niche marketing weapons that will bring in the ‘right’ customers, business and lifestyle. It’s definitely all about you and your life success with Alan.

And the business; It’s not all about numbers – its about targeting. 10 laser-targeted prospects is far better than 1000 who are ‘generally interested’. Alan has the talent to uncover the true needs, language, and images that go thorough your customers minds in my mind, there’s no one better, he delivers every inch along the MENTOR training!

"Alan I mean this from the bottom of my heart.

I was introduced to Alan by a friend. My business is based on the creative industries and it took hard work, determination, blood sweat and tears to establish my business, as the leading creative market leader in the UK. I have clients travelling from all over the world for my training courses and it's amazing to wake up every morning, knowing that I can service my clients from the rich and famous, TV shows, celebrities and billionaires.

Of course bringing in high-end clients take a lot of time and effort and it got to a stage where I needed to get back to my goal of reducing my working hours and increasing my family time and that's exactly what Alan has helped me to do.

I've worked with Alan on his VIP mentoring day on a one to one basis, great lunch and company for sure. From my investment of £10,000 and the amazing copy provided by Alan, I've confirmed a £12,000 client, two £7,000 clients in one month, that's a total £26,000 in one month, so I've already got my investment back! And the beauty is I can use the same strategy over and over again to bring in new high-end clients.

Alan is very strategic about packaging and leveraging your existing skills and services. It doesn't matter how long you've been in business there is always room for growth and expansion. I love the fact Alan is so down to earth, listen, guys, his clients are turning over millions of pounds however Alan is so open and honest with the truth, makes you feel so comfortable, he gives so much thought and care to your business.

If you are ready to grow your business, first you need to step out of your comfort zone about investing money into your business, I can assure you if you follow his recommendations you will not be disappointed. It takes a lot of courage and strength to keep going, however, you can make your journey easier by working with experts and Alan is an expert in his field so go ahead and make your decision to have a chat with Alan today.

Alan, I would like to thank you for being so open and supportive in the next step of my business, it's going to an even more amazing journey than it has been so far. Thank you again."

“A Kick-Ass Mentor“

We had been on Alan’s email list for a long time and I initially found him through his orange beetle site.

It was the philosopher poet in him that attracted me to Alan; that and the fact he is a kick-ass mentor.

And when I say he is kick ass , he has definitely kicked ours a couple of times!!

we’re a salon that was doing well, but lurching from one crisis to another. We contacted Alan after one particular series of staff crisis as we couldn’t see the wood for the trees and felt that we needed new direction and help steering the ship.

Alan came in and immediately saw what need doing and helped us very quickly focus on the important stuff –

  • He got us to immediately concentrate on the numbers, daily/weekly totals, clients and averages

  • He helped us write and set in motion a kick ass campaign to get new ROCK STAR staff and got us to think about recruitment in a different way – and within two weeks we had 2 new members of staff that are now pulling in over a £1000 a week!!

  • We recruited a kick ass Receptionist.

  • He helped set in motion, weekly and daily meetings with our team; holding them accountable for their columns

  • We introduced new specialist services

  • Raised prices overnight by 10% with no client losses

  • Created a managers role and filled that the position from within our existing team

  • Started an email campaign with a 71% open rate – unheard of

  • At the beginning, the plan we worked out with Alan was to be doing 10k weeks,  and although we’re not quite there yet, we know that 10k is within touching distance and we’re determined to get there, and soon!

Honestly, Alan has helped us focus and given us belief.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s been really hard but rewarding work !! Alan has been there constantly in the background cajoling, demanding, driving and giving us ideas and has been on hand 24hrs a day!

He is true to his word. Honest as hell and a great guy that wants you to succeed at all times.

I think any business will benefit from working with Alan.

DOUBLED our turnover in 4 weeks

Hi Alan

“THE SALON IS CHANGING … PHONE HAS NEVER STOPPED … JUST INSANE”

Well, what can I say!!

We had a salon, a team,  a business – Or so we thought!!

WE CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH…….SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!

Rich and Steph, Sage Hair Wickham

We were taking on average £2-3000 a week, it covered the bills… just! We spent A LOT of nights worrying about how we were going to pay the staff if there was money in the bank to pay the product company…. We didn’t take a wage, we didn’t have any spare cash, we thought we were doing everything like we should but we were still not seeing any increase….until we called Alan.

We spent many more nights wondering whether we should take the risk, it was a lot of money that we certainly didn’t have.

We made the jump… and it was honestly THE BEST THING WE HAVE EVER DONE!!!! Alan ripped our business apart and showed us it in a completely different light….

In 4 weeks he has refocused our attention on stabilising and building a BUSINESS. He has almost DOUBLED our turnover in 4 weeks…….at the quietest time of the year!! He has opened our eyes to everything about our business and what we were doing and has flipped it on its head!!

It’s INTENSE, ITS HARD WORK AND ITS EXTREME!! But we are ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT!!  The results are UNREAL….. We are 4 weeks in…..we cant for the results after 12.

Alan is fantastic, he is supportive, encouraging and he knows what he’s talking about! He is ALWAYS at the end of the phone, he keeps us focused and he gets results……it’s  just simply amazing!

I can’t wait to write about our journey after the next 4 weeks!

Rich and Steph, Sage Hair, Wickham

BRILLIANT MIND

"Alan ... you bring to the marketing landscape one of the most brilliant, sensible and realistic minds on this planet.. You live in the present and your advice is so practical and helpful that you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself"

Jay Conrad Levinson 

THE BEST

"Alan you have a brilliant marketing mind which is constantly thinking about how to make your clients look different from their competitors. Which means any marketing that you create 'cuts through' and has massive impact. I would recommend any business owner use your mind ... take your advice ... and do anything they can to work with you because you will make them a lot of money - fast. You are without doubt THE best direct-response copywriter/consultants in the UK and I'm proud to work with you."

Brett Mc Fall WorldInternetSummit.com

EXCELLENT

Alan the letters were excellent. A good professional tone, but also packed with key must-buy words. I particularly liked the focus on the personalities behind the products and the potential for the information on the videos to change people's fortunes, while also elaborating some of the main learning points available in their presentations.

As someone selling the product, I'm bound to feel enthusiastic about it – but I think these letters capture that enthusiasm and sell that to other people too.

Thanks

Ian Sumter, IGS Investments

EXCELLENT

Alan,

the copy you wrote for me was excellent … I am a center of influence and have recommended you on my coaching calls to potential clients …

"If you need potent direct response copy that'll haul in the orders, give Alan a shout. He'll treat you right and give you some great copy."

Marlon Sanders

STARTLING RESULTS

I don't dispense compliments easily. But I must admit that Alan is one of those rare copywriters who truly 'get it.' Copywriting in the direct response industry is an art, a science and a challenge. It takes more than mere words to make one's copy work hard. But Alan knows that. Well. I've referred clients to him for a while now, and his copy is absolutely fabulous — with startling results, too! If you need killer copy that kicks, I recommend Alan, hands down."

Copywriter Michel Fortin

OPENED MY EYES

Hi Alan

Thanks the Mastermind day as part of the package. Am sure more questions will arise as I process it all.

Working with you has really opened my eyes, lifted my sights and given me powerful insights into how to make things possible. Just need to make it happen now.

Thanks again - will catch up on tonight’s call.

Gary Sprinks, Copywriter

33%

I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done. As you know I spent over two months trying to find the right copywriter to work with and it was two months well spent.

I can’t imagine anyone giving more than you. I’m possibly not the easiest person to work with, I don’t know, but still you go out of your way to get things right, to keep me happy, to get results. Your patience and understanding are remarkable as is your passion for your writing.

But you don’t just write, you advise, you give ideas, insights, quite simply you’re passionate about helping other people. The effectiveness of your copy was immediately obvious...33% RESPONSE!

Orders came in so quickly after the first mailing that I was completely caught out! Long may it continue. Thanks again Alan. I truly appreciate you.

Steve Goudy, TDMethod

THE BEST

Results have been amazing. Seen a massive rise in sales conversion from my web pages. Without a doubt one of the best copywriters out there!..

Nick James

74 SALES!

Alan… about the mailer: I sent a fax mailer to the same group of people in M arch and received 3 replies and when I sent the one you wrote for us the other day I received an incredible 74 sales.

Thanks, George, Jay Abraham

GAME CHANGING

Hi Alan,

How did you impact the way I think about business?

Two words - GAME CHANGING!

I never once thought it was possible - attracting and working with BIGGER clients. (Those that generate millions of pounds in sales).

Until… I heard this presentation. Most stuff I’ve read, heard, or watched do teach you to figure out who your ideal client is. However, what they don’t reveal is how to attract and make your ideal client want to work with you.

Cheers Alan!

Vincent Wong, Writer and Consultant

P.S. Now that you’ve set the standards so high - how can you possibly top this ... ?

AMAZING COPY

The copy you have delivered at this point has been amazing. In the past I have dealt with copywriters that charge double your fee…and they provided dull lifeless copy.

Your copy should convert like crazy. You are my new secret weapon. I want to keep you all to myself.

Jonathon Page

CONTAGIOUS

… sales results – That's the only true measure of success for direct response copywriting. That's the only reason you should listen to any sales copywriter, isn't it?

In fact, Alan writes with so much positive, raw courage and power, his writing leads prospects to the edge and then over. His copy is so downright contagious, your order page will catch fire from his energetic approach.

Your page will be so "amped", your prospects don't stand a chance at getting out of your sales page without handing you money. He's got the solid, time-tested track record to prove just exactly that.

Peter Stone

TALENT!

After speaking with many people within the direct marketing industry, many of whom left me unimpressed, it was an absolute joy to find Alan.

He has a passion for this and it not only shows – it jumps of the page at you. His talent for writing has been confirmed by all those I showed his work to, colleagues, copywriters and clients alike.

I look forward to working with Alan again already."

Adam Hamilton-Fletcher, smevents.co.uk

ON TARGET

His copy is right on target and I am very impressed. Alan is very professional in his approach, but just as important, his suggestions bring clarity to the copy. I found Alan to be just so helpful and friendly. It is a pleasure to work with him.

FANTASTIC

Alan,

its not your first time to write something like this. The email is fantastic … Wow

James Beattie

83% INCREASE

Alan tweaked my offer and increased sales by just over 83%. Just incredible.

Greg Milner, World Salon Marketing

47% RESULT

Alan took my failed direct mail letters and set them on fire. I was losing so much money my wife almost left me. He re-wrote the letters and cut back the amount of mailers. The campaign had a result of 47% with sales of over £800,000 in 12 months.

Thank you Alan

LIFE TRANSFORMED

I’m a MENTOR client of Alan’s. One year ago I took the plunge and entered a MENTOR with Alan. I paid well over £10,000 for Alan’s amazing knowledge and skills! I had to fight back the ‘I cant afford it demons’ and go for it because I knew if I wanted real fast track change with my business I needed to invest and spend time with someone who had been there done it. I can hardly believe the change in not only my business but in ME. Alan’s strategies and advice with guidance and fun along the way took my business to a 53.4% in four weeks and 116% rise in one year. It would have been more but I had to make HUGE decisions along the way to create the business of my dreams which meant having the confidence to make changes and get the people out who I knew deep down were not right for me and my business in the long term.

I have taken what Alan has taught me with my own skills and knowledge and have not only taken my business to near full capacity but he have given me a better understanding of business and I am just about to launch two new businesses. He has genius ideas that were so inspiring I didn’t take much time to get excited and start putting them into action. Anyone thinking of doing MENTOR with Alan I would say go for it. There’s absolutely no question It will change your business like it did mine. “Since working with Alan my life and business have been transformed!

Caroline Sanderson, Ego Hair

THANK YOU

Hi Alan, Thanks a million for the Masterclass. I’ve been studying direct marketing and copywriting for a year, but I just felt like I didn’t have everything together to get started. Since the day in Sydney and watching the DVD’s everything’s turning around.I now have all the skills to start marketing and making profits for businesses and myself. You’ve shown me how to get started and given me the skills and the confidence. Your delivery was great. Being able to ask you any question was hugely valuable. I’m going to be your next success story. Thanks so much.

Luke Foster, New Zealand

GRATEFUL

Hi Alan,Well…all I can say is…I’m so grateful you gave us the opportunity to have a full day with a Non-Conformist Marketer…even though you brought the rain Down Under! I took hours and hours to write a headline before and now they are coming to me in a flash! It’s such a massive difference and has made me feel so much more confident about my writing skills. I can’t thank you enough, Alan.

Hope to see you again soon, Alan, and all the best! Kind Regards,

Liz Winstanely

UNIQUE

G’Day Bridge Walker,Hope all is well over in the English countryside….with Orange Beetles in the back yard…Before Alan’s Sydney Non Conformist Master Class I knew a bit about copywriting, but it always took hours and only got an average result. Now I have done Alan’s course, I know where to get great, tested unique templates. This save’s me hours each time I write, and I have a much better and tested result, leading my customers by the hand, from my landing page, through my copy and into the “PAY NOW” box. Bingo, mission accomplished!!! Regards

Andrew Dale P.S. Hope my photo doesn’t scare away your customers

I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT

You put enough shit on us at the class last week I felt it was the Aussies go! Mate, thank you once again for last Saturday. I received a call the other day from my media company informing me my website was ready for launch. When it was presented to me I thought the text looked like shit… So I re wrote it all.

Using your techniques saved me a bucket load of time and now I feel it will really get the results I was hoping for. I’ve been watching the dvd’s you gave us, they are brilliant! Just a little reminder, as I am dead keen to see and use them….Things are going well – I sold the land I talked to you about abroad (bahamas). I wrote out some copy, put a plan in motion for press releases to get it sold – no need – I put an advert in hot property alert and it sold in a day and I couldn’t believe it.

Used the copy skills you taught me, but the editorial team changed the headline and made the ad sound more boring, but kept the facts from research I did. Just proves that copy is so important, even in a small ad!!

I’ll let you know asap.

£88,000 FROM ONE EMAIL!

I sent the email on Tuesday afternoon, about 10 minutes later I checked my inbox and was pleasantly surprised to find I had 16 replies from potential customers asking for quotes – by the end of that afternoon I had nearly 50 emails asking for quotes, and I ended up staying in the office until 1am finishing them all! Then the next day I had about 10 more! In the following 3 days, I took over $21,450.00 – and this week, what should have been the quietest of the year, ended up being the most successful week of the year so far! And, I estimate conservatively that I’ll pull in another $17,800.00 – $35,760.00 more, over the next couple of weeks as a result of this one single email!

This stuff is just crazy, I’d heard of results like this in the past but I didn’t really think they were real, I suppose they’re not until you see them for yourself, but I’ll tell you what, this is just the beginning, now I know what’s possible with the stuff I learned at the weekend, I’m not going to stop creating results like this, for my own businesses, and for my clients!

When I Count It All Up I Will Bank Over $88,000 Minimum From That One Single Email! I would back up everything I’ve just said

COMPLEX SIMPLE

Alan, You make the complex steps of process so clear that they seem manageable, you insist that we discover and then speak with our own voice, all the time modelling this yourself, you provide endless references for where to go to learn necessary bits and if that wasn't enough, we now know where you live.

Sabrina Yuille, Brisbane Australia

RESPECT

The true test of a man is often in what they do for & how they treat others. Thanks for treating us with respect & integrity – a man of your character is rare to come across in today’s jaded seminar/ spruiking world.

Victoria Furey GetGood.com.au

I wanted to send you this personal note below to let the folks know you truly are an amazing business coach! Honestly, I was amazed and still am. Since his return to the UK his support has been fantastic. Distance is NOT an object at all for Alan. My advice to anyone reading this that might be thinking is it worth hiring Alan.

f you hear about him speaking live, GO. If you get a chance to sit and talk with him face to face, do it. If you can afford to pull him into your office and pay his consultancy fee’s, just do it. The guy is a goldmine of information that could potentially help anyone build a substantial business online."

REVAMPED

Alan,

This weekend I have revamped my business model, my business plan and my business life and I cannot wait to get it going!!

I'm on my way!!

Thank you SO much!

INSPIRING

Dear Alan,

This has been the time I could have spent ever for my business. It was brimmiming with information, all relevant and important, very entertaineing and hugely inspiring. And best of all it was unbelievable value for money.

HIGHEST CALIBRE

Petra Lander, Room4Style.com

The highest claibre. I have learnt more about marketing, in fact about the internet in these 3 days than I have learnt before.

Shivish Shah

I have learned more in these 3 days than I have done from all the seminars I have attended in all my life put together! That is no overstatement as I have altered 2 headlines and adjusted some text on my homepage with an instant increase in opt-ins

Thank you Alan for a great 3 days.

Matt Shaw

The content and the speakers were absolutely AMAZING!

I've done 7 day seminars that haven't been anywhere near as good.

It covered every single aspect of marketing and content creation. I'm going home to implement just a fraction of what we've been given as I know just that little bit alone will double my business.

Then I'll implement another fraction and increase my business even more. I can't wait!

David Walsh

Mike Yate

I've seen Alan here and there but never live.

During his seminar I soon learnt that Alan is a brilliant marketer, copywriter and manager.

The seminar was organised very smart covering everything in the right sequence and right timing.

Alan is also a great speaker on stage and surprised me with his ay of dressing and the ay he communicates with attendees.

Mega Masterclass simply ROCKED!

Sandis Viksna, SandisViksan.com

Alan thank you for putting on a first class event.

The whole seminar deliver , no over DELIVERED real useable content and excellent value.

I know I have gained at least 5 ideas that I can use in my business immediately to produce measurable result, valuable results.

Little wonder that your attends have such a high success rate in their business.

Phillip Shufflebottom.

I attended Alan Forrest Smith's Mega MasterClass in October 2006 and as ever the content he delivered was second to none.

I don't know how he finds these guys and gets them to deliver such unique content.

If Alan ever runs one of these event again I strongly recommend you attend.

I have walked out of here at the end of every ay with an idea that I can use immediately to make my business more profitable.

These guys spilled their guts, fabulous 3 days.

Alan YOU MUST RUN ANOTHER.

Jane Morris

Hello Alan,

Thank you for a wonderful 3 days of packed content. The speaker gave their all and really delivered (I wasn't sure if you would deliver before hand … YOU DID!)

I got so many actionable tools that I can put into place on Monday morning.

Your truly

Gerard Malone, MortgageLadder.ie, Dublin, Ireland.

Alan has delivered fantastic value for money bringing together top experts covering both cutting-edge tactics and strategies. Once youre seen this seminar there are no excuses for online success.

Mike Spurgeon, HumanBizMatch.com

INTERNET MARKETING CLASSES … MMMM …I'm a cynic.

Too often over-promise and under deliver. But I gave this one a go. I don't know why perhaps it was something to do with the fact that it was masterminded by a man in a kilt!

I can only say that I was blown away. What a fantastic event that simply oozed value. Every speaker delivered an abundance of valuable information during some of the most dynamic sessions I have ever experienced.

Not only did I leave with tons of revolutionary ideas that could change my life but I also made some great new contacts and had a blast in the process

The mega masterclass was truly and unbelievable experience and a real inspiration.

Alan is a fantastic guy and I'm looking forward to working with him again.

Angela Mains

I attended Alan's Mega MasterClass seminar this weekend and WOW!

We got a group of top ranking experts giving us their time to tell and show us how to think outside the box to expand your online business massively.

The content this weekend has been awesome!

Outstanding quality and quantity!

From all of the Internet Marketing seminars I've attended this year (and there have been a few), this is one I've come away from with practical advice and motivation to support to implement it.

PRICELESS!!

Watch this space.

Anne Chochrane

This is the very first seminar I came to in the UK and boy was I blown away!!

I have reasonably successful internet business already and there are still plenty of those AHAA effects in the 3 content packed days that Alan and his team delivered.

For anyone even thinking about learning from these guys, I would strongly advice that you just take the leap of faith and just do it!

You'll at least make 3 times your investment back if not 4 or even 5.

Rely on these guys, coz they deliver!

Saumil Patel, SaumilPatel.com

Having never (ever) attended an Internet Marketing conference before , I can wholeheartedly recommend Alan Forrest Smith and his group of merry men. Come along with an open mind and delight in the experience of having it filled with all sorts of wonders.

Generosity, Integrity, dedication, commitment!
