Writing ads, emails, copy for your website, social media, etc. DOES NOT HAVE TO BE HARD OR FRUSTRATING.

Don't believe me? Let me prove it.

Tap an orange box and enter your email address.

Head to the kitchen to pour your favorite beverage...

... and then hurry back and check your email.  (SUBJECT: "John Carlton's Pint of Beer Challenge is ready. Dive in!")

Your video lessons will be waiting for you.

In this FREE training, you'll quickly discover how to:

  • Get inside the heads of people who are desperately looking for your product or service. It's not mind reading, but it's pretty close.
  • Instantly grab your prospect's attention with one simple (but insanely powerful) "fill in the blanks" phrase. You'll understand how and why this phrase works. And we're going to give you lots of examples of this phrase in action!
  • Clearly and quickly explain the value of what you deliver without being “creepy” or “salesy”.  I've got a simple formula you will copy and use over and over again.
  • Close more sales with confidence and integrity using these three "persuasion shortcuts." There's no need for high-pressure sales tactics once you know this strategy. Selling is easy when you have this system.

Best of all, you'll go at your pace, not ours.

You really can learn all of this... and write your first pretty gosh darn good ad... in the time it takes to enjoy a tall beverage.

Or you can go though a lesson a day for the next few days.  Whatever works best for you.

Still not sure? Here's a quick message from John:

Hi. I'm John Carlton.

For many years now, I’ve been teaching people with absolutely zero advertising or marketing experience (not to mention a fear of trying to write anything) how to create their very first ad that actually works.

Sales pages... landing pages... video scripts... Facebook ads... blog posts that get people to opt-in to your list or buy your stuff... doesn't matter.

If you give me just the amount of time it (should) take you to drink a pint of beer… or beverage of your choice… you're going to be armed to the teeth with the know-how to quickly produce the best ad you've ever written.

An ad that will turn reluctant looky-loo’s into paying customers.

That’s because, writing a good ad isn't rocket science.

Like almost everything, if you take a bit of time to learn a few simple and proven secrets… everything else is just ridiculously easy.

Sign up below, and I'll teach you step-by-step, repeatable tactics that are in the Bag of Tricks of every world-class marketer and copywriter.

EXTRA BONUS: This training also shows you how to eliminate "writer's block".

Rookie marketers sometimes spend hours staring at a blank screen, without a clue how to even begin their ad.

Let me show you a few easy tactics that will scoot you right past your fear, uncertainty, and maybe even tiny panic attacks that set in every time you even think about creating an ad.

I've got a blueprint for beginning (and quickly finishing) an ad that could be that one thing that transforms your business and your life.

What Are Others Saying About John Carlton and This Simple Writing System?

Kenneth TurnbullKenneth TurnbullDirect Response Copywriter

Before the SWS, I THOUGHT my copywriting was pretty dang good...

In reality, my copy was lackluster, WAAAY overwritten, and often sloppy.

The SWS quickly changed all of that.

If you're serious about kicking up your copy-chops to the next level... faster than you could imagine was even possible... I think you'd be CRAZY not to jump at the chance to work with John in his Simple Writing System.

Before the SWS, I THOUGHT my copywriting was pretty dang good...

In reality, my copy was lackluster, WAAAY overwritten, and often sloppy.

The SWS quickly changed all of that.

After 8 intense weeks of John Carlton tearing my copy to shreds, I discovered how to write tight, persuasive copy -- which reads like a fast ride down a roller-coaster -- and finally obliterated the "copy wrecking" head-trash that had been holding me back.

Mentoring under John Carlton has been a total game-changer for me. Behind his grizzled exterior, and tough-lovin' advice, John really gives a damn about ensuring the writers in his SWS make genuine breakthroughs.

Sam ClitheroeSam ClitheroeDirect Response Copywriting

Before The Simple Writing System, I would mentally panic before ANY and EVERY copy project. Why? Because I didn't know HOW to start or what to actually do. It overwhelmed me... because there were a million different things I could do. I wasted TONS of time and mental energy just trying to "figure it out".

I was always nervous talking to clients because, while I had a general idea of what to do, I didn't TRULY know.

When I heard John say the SWS was his PERSONAL approach to writing copy and the ONLY system you'll ever need for the rest of your life, I was 100% sold.

I committed to using the SWS approach... to selectively IGNORE any other blog post, copywriting course, or "guru" and focus SOLELY on what SWS taught – I'm proud to say this was definitely the best decision I made.

After just 3 weeks of SWS, I started approaching EVERY copy project the same exact way... and it completely eliminated that pre-project resistance that kept me procrastinating.

My clients noticed the quality of my copy JUMP to new levels. I even had a call with one of the BIGGEST names I had ever talked to about potentially working together. The confidence the SWS approach gave me on that call allowed me to land the client. He went on to say out of what seemed like +100 writers he's worked with, I was the best.

After just 6 months of starting my freelance career, I'm now traveling parts of the world while serving a small handful of satisfied clients... and I give all the credit to John Carlton and the SWS.

John Carlton is a world-class copywriter, teacher, and trainer.

He doesn't just tell you how to do it. He doesn't just show you how to do it. He involves you so you learn and you burn those ideas into your mind so that you pick up his strategies and techniques... and the way to apply the psychology of world-class copy.

Most copywriters just write about writing copy. John shows you how to get deep... How to bury your mind into the mind of your prospect.

I want to thank John Carlton from the bottom of my heart. I give John my highest endorsement.

Chris HaddadChris Haddad"Mr. Moneyfingers"

"Hi. As I write this I'm richer than I ever thought I'd be, happier than I have any right to be . . . and have somehow become one of those "famous" copywriters who gets talked about on message boards, who's building a information business of my own that should hit 7-figures next year, and who's every letter and sales video gets mercilessly ripped off.

And it’s all John Carlton's fault."

[Disclosure: Chris's business did hit 7-figures. He's been a trusted associate for many years as well as a Simple Writing System instructor.]

Ken GlickmanKen GlickmanFormer Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Boardroom, Inc.

"Great copywriters are proven because consumers vote with their money. That's why guys like John Carlton are so expensive, and so valuable. This is seriously important information for your business. There are only a handful of writers in John's league. I read his book as soon as I got my hands on it."

Michael JansMichael JansPresident, Insurance Profit Systems, Inc.

"I study Carlton's copy like a 14 year-old boy reads Playboy. Completely dazzled, entranced and full of desire. I've read hundreds of books on marketing and copywriting and make my living with it... so I know how to separate the wheat from the chaff in this business. Every time I think I've hit the nail on the head with my copy, I read one of John's letters and realize how much farther I could go. Ouch... it hurts to say that... but it's true."

April MorelockIndiana

"Two months ago I had little hope of making it in this business. Now, after taking John's specific advice, I'm quitting my day job and doing this full time."

"Studying John Carlton's writing, and adapting it to Japanese culture, has allowed me to dominate an entire Asian market. It's just unbelievable what you can do when you learn what's in John's amazing bag of tricks."

"Phenomenal content. Of all the marketing, advertising and copywriting experts I pay attention to, John Carlton is by far the most articulate and passionate and knowledgeable (and funny). I get more value just from your hilarious, ballsy stories alone than from the serious efforts of most other gurus. Man, you've helped my advertising get wicked-good."

“I was up against the wall, out of time, pressed for money, stressed beyond belief. Launch day was March 12. I went live without testimonials because I ran out of time.

Then the sales started... And got faster, and faster.

Thirty-six hours later, my results were four times better than what I needed to dig out of the hole, and twice what I'd hoped for in my best-case scenario. I'm going to be okay. I could not have done this without your help, John. Thank you!"

12 sales in 22 hours on a $4000 offer!!

I was inspired by The Simple Writing System lesson on "Turbulence."

I went through it carefully (and poured over John's Power Words Report) before crafting the final call to action.

I made at least a dozen edits. Kept reading it aloud.

I was still nervous. A little unsure. So I sent the email to just part of my list.

12 sales in 22 hours on a $4000 offer!! (The entire trip sold out in a week.)

I couldn't believe it!

As the bookings came in, literally everyone said words to the effect of, "Bloody hell Paul, I wouldn't miss that for the world!"

"Turbulence" really worked!

Thanks, John!

$25 Per Minute!

"John, I made over $25 per minute using JUST your "power words" list. Increased click-throughs by 107%, and stuffed $10,500 in my pocket while sipping my morning coffee, using your tactics to rewrite some lame headlines for a client."

Ernie SvensonErnie SvensonSmallFirmBootcamp.com

"To be honest, even though I have massive respect for John Carlton and everything he does, I was hesitant about signing up because I was afraid I'd be somehow disappointed.

But, after having run the gauntlet I can say... The SWS course was everything I secretly hoped it would be: practical, hands-on, inspiring, challenging, enlightening, thoroughly enjoyable, and definitely profitable.

Thank you SO much for offering this exceptional course, and for making it so convenient to learn copywriting from the best in the biz."

Michael RichesonMichael RichesonNewberg, OR

"Brought in more than a dozen high-ticket members ($4,000+ each)."

"I read "Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets" a few months ago. It was so good I bought the Simple Writing System course. A couple weeks ago I had a chance to put it all together for a client of mine. Using what I learned, I wrote a Facebook ad, a 3,000-word sales letter, and an email sequence.

The ad finished with a 6 percent CTR, the sales letter had a nearly 30 percent completion rate, and the email sequence (so far) has brought in more than a dozen high-ticket members ($4,000+ each). All from a $150 ad spend.

No way I could've pulled that off without John’s book and course. Thanks for all the valuable info!"

John OrbanJohn OrbanAlexanderArt.com

I’ve got to say, this SWS stuff is lightning in a bottle! I never even knew this world existed a year ago. I feel like I’m walking with giants! THANK YOU!

Profits Through The Roof

"I used Carlton's tactics in my advertising online, and profits went through the roof. That meant we could move into a bigger house, and I've kit it out with the most amazing high-tech gear. I would not be here today without John's help"

"Quitting My Cushy 6-Figure Job"

"Our investment education business went from $50k a year in sales to over $200k in six months, thanks to John Carlton (and a hot webmaster from Houston). Thanks to what I've learned, I'm quitting my cushy six-figure a year job to go full-time in this new business!"

Peter IppolitoPeter IppolitoSan Salvador - CuponClub.net

We have a top "Daily Deal" site in El Salvador and Guatemala that sells big discount coupons for restaurants, hair salons, mechanics, hotels, etc.

Inspired by what Carlton teaches about "One-Two Punch Bullets" in the SWS, last week we split-test the bullets we've been using on three of our offers.

The results were wild. All 3 resulted in a statistically significant increase in sales.

Argentinian Sausage Sandwiches: 12% increase over the control

Hotel and Spa Day: 28% increase over the control

Weight Loss Treatment: 85% increase over the control

We didn't change anything else. Just the 4-5 bullets near the top of the page.

Goes to show that copy REALLY matters.
