  7-Figure Money Machine

  "I heard John at a seminar say something about writing headlines I’d never heard or read anyone else say before — and believe me, I’ve been a serious and successful student of copywriting for over ten years. The result: I came up with a headline that crashed through all the noise in a very, very crowded marketplace and, starting from zero, very rapidly created a new seven figure ($1,000,000+) a year money machine that’s only just getting warmed up."
  Ken McCarthy, "The System"

It gives me the ability to write my own sales letters without using someone else’s work as a template for the whole thing“.

  Thanks For Giving Me A Better Life

  "Since 2005, your simple writing strategies have earned me and my clients millions. It all began when Eben Pagan shoved a copy of your "Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets" course into my hands and said "Study every word on this page, and then write me some copy!" I was hooked, and got my hands on everything you produced. My career as a copywriter has flourished since then, because you helped me understand the psychology behind a great sales message. In fact, just last month I booked a project that brought me a fat $15,000 (plus 5% of the gross sales in royalties)… and it took me just one week of work. The beauty of writing sales copy is that it’s not the writing that bring in the money… it’s the knowledge of what to write about to get people to buy. And there is no one on earth who knows this — and can teach it so you "get it" quickly — than John Carlton. Thanks, John, for giving me a better life." Craig Clemens

• "Worked So Good It Was Scary!"

  "Just finished a 1,000 trial mailing with new copy using Carlton’s concepts. Raked in $22,000 the first week. It worked so good it was scary."

  30% Boost In Results

  “For me this class was one of the best things that happened in my life. It was more of a journey of finding out who I really am than most things I have done, and in a much shorter time frame. It was raw and to the point, clear and exciting experience. I feel prepared now to present what I have to offer to the people that I want to reach. Also by learning this new language, this new way of thinking, I am constantly coming up with new ideas of products I can offer. I found a confidence that I didn’t have before, and I am so sure it is because I am so much more clear in all areas, myself, what I know, what I have to offer, what the prospects are looking for, and all the roads in between that connect each piece. This class is the first step… I am hooked, and I am continuously learning. This class was the foundation I needed to build something solid on. I feel I can do the things I want to do now. What I learned in the Simple Writing System will help me build multiple streams of profits for years to come. I now feel I can truly make more money, create products that sell and attract more clients for my growing business. In fact, I can write my own ads which have brought in 30% more business locally in the last few months. I am so grateful for it.” Andreea Grad

• 5 Figures in 24 Hours

  “I’ve had lots of experience writing as a professional, but the difference between what I was writing and what I learned to write after getting your Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets course is like the difference between throwing a bullet and shooting one. While I’ve had good success in the past, I’m amazed at how incredible your stuff works in the short time I’ve been using it. The last two sales e-mails I wrote using your techniques and strategies to get prospects on webinars generated almost 1,000 registrants between both events…with only 24 to 48 hours notice to register until the webinar was to be played in both situations. As well, both webinars were for products over a $1,000 and each one netted 5 figure results for us in 24 hours.

  Your stuff is awesome and I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve shared. Anyone who doesn’t have this material in their arsenal of copywriting ammunition is truly “throwing” bullets in their battle for more sales.”
  Walter Bressler, Texas

  “The Simple Writing System appeared at the right time and place! What a blessing this time has been. I continue to nurture my SWS muscles to fully realize my maximum profit potential!

  3 Times ROI With New Skills

  “I just sold my most expensive screen ever.
  And, it was due to HOW I sold it with copy skills.
  Why am I so sure?
  - it was to a new customer
  - in a country where people are known for their fondness of bargain hunting
  - I am sure we had the most expensive offer (competitors offer a similar size screen at a third of the price)
  - it was the first time that such a screen was sold from a web enquiry.
  Wanna know how expensive the screen was?
  25,000 euro (or about 35K in US$) without shipping or installation.
  Thanks John). I just made my investment in the Simple Writing System back 3 times on this order alone.”
  Otto Tromm

• Damned Good Business Advice

  “I am very impressed with John’s comprehensive Simple Writing System for crafting sales messages. He takes a CAT scan 360 degree perspective when writing copy. The combination of consumer psychology, positioning in your market, great salesmanship, and clear, effective communication is killer. John is not just an outstanding copywriter he’s a damned good business man!”
  Joe Gerhard

• Best Investment I’ve Ever Made

  “Best value course I have ever purchased. Great course… great value for money… and I liked the structure. I have spent thousands of dollars on “internet related” products and in the past I have been personally mentored by not one but 2 ‘world famous’ Internet Marketers (who charged even more thousands of dollars)…and this SWS course beats everything…it is the BEST EVER investment I made. I tell you what really pisses me off – I have spent thousands of dollars being mentored by so-called ‘famous household’ Internet Marketers and not one of them has suggested what you have, John. Not one!” Andrew Rondeau

• 

  Created Millions In Profit

  "John has created millions in profit for us. We pitted his ads and letters against big-city ad agencies, PR firms, and writers with lots of awards… and John slaughtered them all. He consistently hits ‘home runs’ for us — 20-to-1 return in profit is not unusual. He has saved our butts on several occasions."
  Robert Pierce, President, Tactical Response Solutions

• 

  "Just before the famous StomperNet launch, everything was in doubt. We cornered John for advice, and in just a few minutes he provided such clarity that the fog melted away… and I was finally able to write the pitch that brought in over $10 million in one day. That’s twice he’s helped me — long ago, when I was broke, clueless and desperate, I somehow found John’s ‘Kick Ass’ course… and halfway through, a calm confidence came over me. I told my wife that everything was going to be all right, because this really made sense. When John talks about changing your life, he’s not kidding around." Frank Kern, Mass Control

• Email List DOUBLED

  My list of email names doubled over just a 2-month period using just some of his strategies."

• 6-Figure Profit, & It’s Idiot-Proof

  “For me… Copywriting was my lacking skill…. I never knew how to write effective copy, and John you’ve done a GREAT job… the SWS blows away any “system” I’ve seen in a long time. It’s pretty much idiot proof. To top it off, my motivation after this course has never been so high… Since starting it I’ve sold 2 new franchisees (which adds over 6 figures/year into my pocket. I’m starting to blast off writing follow up sequences….I’ve also finalized my entire franchise manual for all of my stores, and my web guy is starting to build a new website for my retail stores and will use your copywriting to make it smash the competition as well as build an avenue through the site to franchise even more…I can’t thank you enough… this is a program geared for REAL business minded people….. it’s the real deal.. not some fancy, full of fluff, way of repackaging old basic marketing. Thanks John!”
  Adam Cloet

  6-Month Waiting List of Clients

My income has tripled, and your techniques allowed me to develop a waiting list of clients that is 6 months long. When I saw some of the so-called industry greats sitting in your seminar, following you around like a Big Buck during breeding season, I knew I needed to suck as much info out of you as I could. What you teach is worth 1,000 times what you charge."

• Liberation Is Sweet

  “Just a big thanks to you, John, for the brilliance of this wonderful learning experience. I used to a read sales letter and wonder how on earth the writer thought of so much to say on one subject (Ah, but then my forte was the 30 second spot) Now I know. I’m also delighted to learn one can function as a copywriter outside the armature of an agency. Liberation is sweet. Thanks again — I so enjoyed all of it.“

  The Simple Writing System is a miracle!

  I spent 2008 like a lost puppy. I couldn’t figure out what to do with the rest of my life.

  On a whim, I joined the SWS in October 2008. I fell in love with copywriting. I graduated and did my first few letters for my own real estate business.

  Then I fearfully took my first freelance job. I did it for zero upfront since they knew I was a newbie. I assumed it would be a practice run I’d never get paid for. To make things worse, a friend who tried his hand at copywriting said there was little chance of making over a few thousand dollars per letter for many years.

  I followed the 17 step SWS to the letter, double-checking every step. I didn’t know if it was all true, but I did it in faith. The letter was up against a new letter from a seasoned pro. (They paid him $10,000 for it.) After I completed the letter, the business told me they were raising the price of the item from $79 to $149 before the mailing. Another speedbump to the letter’s success.

  Fast forward one year. The letter destroyed the seasoned writer’s letter. It is mailing its fourth big batch. I have made $22,730 in commission from it so far, and the client is getting ready to mail a whole lot more.

  In addition, a big WDC firm got ahold of it and hired me to do a letter for a very well-known national organization. I haven’t even bothered to set up a website since I have more than enough high paying copy work now.

  The Simple Writing System is a miracle! It provided me a two-month launch to a whole new career. And a whole new life.

  Paul Moore, Moneta, VA

• The SWS changed the ENTIRE course of my life. And FAST!

  "John, I heard you were doing SWS again and thought I would come say a word or two to anyone bouncing the ball on this or even sitting nervously on the fence. (I hope you don’t mind)

  I must give YOU a WARNING!

  This will not be one of those bulls**t testimonials that you see elsewhere… If you walk away after reading this post and think I’m full of it, I totally get it, and I’ve felt that way before too.

  Not anymore…

  In fact if you stick around over the next 5 minutes you may just have one of the most exciting, life changing revelations you’ve ever had.

  The truth is…

  …The Simple Writing System, John Carlton, Lorrie-Morgan Ferrero and the other teachers that contributed to SWS — changed the ENTIRE course of my life! (And FAST!)

  My name is Scott and before SWS, I was a business owner struggling in a tough economy. I had just been taken for a serious financial ride by a partner I too quickly trusted, costing me EVERYTHING! (That’s not an exaggeration.)

  After 4 years of building my company from the ground up, I lost close to a half a Million over night leaving my family destitute amidst trying to provide heart surgery for my teenage son.

  My family needed something BIG and we needed it fast, or it would be a disaster or worse.

  I knew of John Carlton and the BIG claims he made for his SWS system. So when I heard the SWS was going to launch, I logged on…

  …Believe me when I tell you as I sat there holding my last $400 bucks, my wife standing over my shoulder in complete and utter shock in how I was planning on spend that money, honestly I WAS a nervous.

  I understood the power of my choice… I knew that single decision would either completely sink us or change our life as John and others claim.

  I stuck with what I believe to be the right choice…

  Please do NOT miss what I’m about to say…

  That one decision to trust John Carlton changed my ENTIRE life!

  Within 2 months of being mentored by John and Lorrie Morgan Ferrero and the SWS team… I finally understood what effective marketing REALLY was!

  After using the ideas that john and Lorrie gave me, my ability to write effective copy was immediate… I NOW stood out from the crowd.

  Almost overnight I was earning up to $7000.00 a job as a freelance writer, and was writing for some of the marketing industry’s biggest leaders.

  LISTEN…

  The decision is clearly yours… as it was mine.

  (I’m glad I made the right choice)…

  If you want real knowledge that works when you put it to use, with the potential to stuff your bank with cash…

  I would move on this the moment you get the chance to click the SWS button! I’m thankful I went with what I thought was right and my wife is now a serious believer!

  John and the SWS team will not just follow through… they always over deliver!

  I would hate to see you three years from now looking back at the others who chose to take action and found great success, as I have, wishing you had listened to me.

  (I’m not obligated to say any of this)

  I could just go on quietly raking in my cash without thinking of anyone else, although I cant imagine doing that…

  I think you deserve to hear from someone who has already been faced with this choice…

  Just do it!

  John Carlton and his team WILL give you the tools to be the best marketer you can be, I absolutely Guaran… danm… tee it!

  He did for me!

  My son got his heart surgery by the way…

  Nuff said." — Scott V

• Topped Our Best Month Ever… In Just One Week With New Tactics

  “In the last 3 months conversions on my website have gone through the roof. Last week we had 17 sales ($300 info product) with less than 300 unique visitors to the site, which is by far the best month we ever had in just 1 week. My data base guy is foaming at the mouth to find out why my analytics data is sending such a huge spike in conversions and my bounce rate plummeting to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

  $340,000 in 7 Days

  “I started working for internet marketer Russell Brunson as a full-time copywriter and had only written a handful of letters up until that point. He asked me to write a sales letter for our 12-Month Internet Millionaire launch—my first major launch.

Thanks to implementing the quick-start copywriting secrets John revealed in his course, the letter ended up pulling in $340,000 in 7 days. If you remotely care about becoming a better copywriter and marketer, you need to get your hands on John’s materials before your competition does.” Kevin Hill, head writer for Russell Brunson

  Earning a High Six-Figures Annually Online

  “Before I discovered John Carlton I had NO IDEA how to write good copy… and I’ll admit I was pretty skeptical about investing in his programs because it just didn’t seem possible that I would be able to influence people with print like John does. Well let me tell you that John’s teaching have not only helped me increase conversions by over 511%, but John has been one of the backbones to me earning a high six-figures annually online. Not only do I use Johns strategies in my sales copies and videos but his tactics have also helped my develop a cult-like following on my blog, making my blog the #1 blog AND website in the world in my niche where I’m able to get as many as 8039 visitors to my blog in one day all from free traffic sources… THAT is the power of the influential writing tactics John showed me how to do. I love waking up and seeing all the money roll in my bank account… even while I’m off doing whatever the hell it is I want to do”
