- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best copywriting books i read this year!
Great Work Marcia :)1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The worst book ever! Don't waste your time listening to her bluff!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I want my life back :) check youtube videos about this topic instead!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Trying to learn about copywriting?!? DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK! I have been tempted to purchase one of the millions of programs that cost $5-6k AND MORE, to walk me through it, UNTIL I found THIS BOOK!! It doesn't add all the frills and lengthy chapters that are not helpful. You know, those lengthy beginning chapters about the writer’s life and how one skill or another changed their life with “this skill” “this book” and so on will help you go from being homeless to owning a million-dollar home. Great, if I wanted their autobiography I would not have purchased a book about “Copywriting.” In other words, I wanted to give this book at least 10 stars, I highly recommend it!!
