OK, let's get get right to it:

The "#1 Secret" of ALL great copywriters is they never try andnre-invent the wheel. nnn(In a moment I'll give you a tip on how you can take advantage of something they ALL do.)nnn---------------------------------------------------------

Again, they never try and re-invent the wheel.

Do you believe that?

The "great ones" are so creative, and so good at what they do, I had a hard time believing that when I first learned it.

But it's true. And now it makes so much sense to me, because it's that way in any craft, isn't it?nnn---------------------------------------------------------

As I write this my oldest son is in Lincoln, NE, working as anbricktender. He's also being taught bricklaying. Because he works on upscale homes, he'll sometimes see some very elaborate and creative brick work.

I know because of the excitement in his voice as he describes the latest fireplace archway, patio entrance, window, door or wall he's been working on.

You ever see the finished product, of advanced and creative nbrick work? It's actually pretty impressive what they can do.nnn---------------------------------------------------------

In the same way, the finished product of the 'Master' Copywriter's product is highly creative as well. Creative enough to sell billions of dollars in merchandise.

Yet believe it or not, it's no great mystery how they do it. In fact, once you know the fundamentals you can easily spot what they're doing.nnn---------------------------------------------------------

That's because all good copywriter's know it'd be foolish to stray too far away from the fundamentals.

Why?

Because they work! That's how they got to be fundamentals. And just like in every other field, when you start trying to re-invent the wheel, that's when you start running into trouble.

So with that in mind, here's a tip you can put to usenright away. Start doing this and you'll be in some pretty goodncompany, because they ALL do this ... I'd bet 100% of 'em!nnn--------------------------------------------------------

Here's the tip:

Create a "swipe file".nnn--------------------------------------------------------

Beginning today, examine your 'junk mail' before you throw it away. You know what I'm talking about. It's the endless stream of unsolicited offers you get in your mailbox, your email, etc.

And for our purposes here I'd even include other media, besides just your mail, e.g., broadcast and print.

Here's how to put it to use:

You can start out by taking just one element of a winning sales letter (or other “messages”) -- the most important element -- it's headline.

And become a student.

Every time you find a headline that 'jumps out at you' (i.e., it's tempting to you, so tempting you feel you have to keep reading) SAVE IT IN A FILE. Later, when it's time to write your own letter, you can go over your files and select 3, 4, 5, or 10 of them (or more) you like, study them until you know why they appeal to you, and pick one to use as a model for your own headline!nnn----------------------------------------------------------

This is the exact same procedure the worlds greatest ncopywriters use, so don't let this tips' simplicity fool you.

In fact, you should do it from now on ... at least until you're writing million dollar sales letters.

Then you can 're-invent the wheel' if you want to ... but I doubtnif you will.nnn-----------------------------------------------------------

Again, I know this technique sounds a little simplistic. Butnthat's what makes some of the greatest gems of wisdom so profound - their simplicity.nnn-----------------------------------------------------------

Try it. Begin using this idea today -- and, in no time at all -- you will definitely INCREASE SALES!nnn-----------------------------------------------------------

To your success ...
