"Proven Pro Copywriter Reveals Amazing Secrets That Simplify And Shortcut The Copywriting Process, Inject More Raw Sales Power Into Every Word You Write... And... Quickly Unleash The Millions Of Dollars Hidden There In That Keyboard Of Yours!"
From: Dear Friend, If you'd like to have the ability to write ultra-profitable advertising copy... and... you'd like to have it in the fastest amount of time humanly possible... then I believe this will be one of the most important messages you'll ever read! Here's why... As it says above, my name is Scott Haines. You may or may not have heard of me. Either way, I think it's important that I give you a little history of my journey from raw rookie to seasoned pro copywriter writing million-dollar advertising. I've been involved in direct marketing for over 12 years. At first, as a struggling nobody... however... for the last 10 years (or so), I've been a successful direct response copywriter and marketing consultant. My journey originally started in college while studying for a degree in Marketing. However, I want to skip over that because, while what happened there was important... it was not nearly as important as what I'm about to tell you. Besides, you can read a little more about me and my beginnings in the brief article at the end of this letter titled, "Who Is Scott Haines?". For now, let me pick up my story in mid-1998 with the amazing piece of "luck" that changed my life. First of all, you should know that I was still working for "The Man" at this point... and... living with my brother. But in my spare time, I was running small direct response projects on the side... having a little success here and there. Anyway, one day, after a particularly grueling day of work (I somehow ended up doing construction in the middle of the summer), I came home and my brother said, "There's a message on the answering machine for you from Gary Halbert." I thought he was kidding. You see, I had written Halbert a letter a couple of months before asking about getting some of his information products. At the time, trying to get any of his stuff was next to impossible. So I really didn't expect a reply, but I hoped. And I talked about this guy, "Halbert" and making money in direct marketing A LOT. Of course, I talked to the wrong people. "Well-meaning" family and friends who mostly laughed at my "crazy" ideas and ridiculed my ambition. So, again, I thought my brother was kidding me. Making fun of my desire to be somebody... to make something more out of my life. It wouldn't be the first time. In fact, by this time, I pretty much considered him a real asshole! However, I checked the machine, and he wasn't lying. I couldn't believe it. And here's what the message said (at least the important part of it): "Get your ass down to

year after year working with a wide variety of clients-all
super-successful-from high-profile to low. My client list includes
multiple marketing gurus... infomercial gurus... multiple New York Times

all the way down to cutting-edge direct marketers making $1 Million to $20

I've Even Been A Ghostwriter For Donald Trump!
I've written successful ads and sales letters for information products, hard products and personal services. In all price ranges... from $19.95 to $25,000.00. In many fields, from business opportunity... to business improvement... to health... to financial. The higher-end stuff becoming somewhat my specialty over the years.
My rolodex contains millionaires and multi-millionaires willing to take my call at any time. And not necessarily because I'm a great guy to talk to (although I like to think I am), but because of my ability to talk marketing and advertising. Not just converse on the subjects, but instantly rattle off ideas, suggestions, improvements and copy they can use to boost their response. And I regularly communicate with many of the best copywriters in the world.
In any case, I'm only telling you all this to let you know who I am and my "credentials". I'm not bragging, there's no need. And I certainly don't like talking about myself. I'm basically somewhat shy and reserved. Therefore, I've been content to remain a behind-the-scenes guy. You won't find me loitering in the halls of the latest, greatest seminar. And you especially won't find me touting my wares on the seminar circuit. I turn down almost every opportunity to become a high-profile marketer... especially online... where there seems to be at least as many marketing experts as there are minutes in a day.
Since 2003, though, I have opened up "a little" and started to teach what I do. I started out modestly enough with an online newsletter I wrote and published titled, Killer Copywriting Secrets! and a "how to" copywriting guide/mini-course titled:
The Amazing Copywriting Secrets
Of An
Adman Who Has To Live By His Results!
The success of those two "products" (both in terms of sales and the results of people who read them) along with the near constant prodding I received of, "Don't you have anything else on copywriting?" led me to thoughts of writing a full-blown course. Which I finally did. I wrote the course on a month-by-month basis over a one-year period for a small group of roughly 100 Charter Members. It's now finished and ready to release to the broader public. It's titled:
Shortcut Copywriting Secrets™
A
complete, step-by-step copywriting course that quickly gives
you the elite-level secrets, skills and strategies needed to write
hot, compelling advertising that... is impossible to ignore... forces
people to buy... and... can make you very rich, very fast!
Why did I title the course "Shortcut" Copywriting Secrets? There are four reasons actually:
Reason #1: The insider information in the course can shortcut your learning curve-for real-by at least 5, if not 10 years. (And in reality, on your own, you might not ever get to the skill level these secrets, skills and strategies will allow.)
Reason #2: In the course, you'll discover many legitimate shortcuts to the copywriting process... that... not only help you write more, faster... but also help you write more persuasively.
Reason #3: There are "Shortcut Summaries Of Key Points" at the end of each chapter to refer to and refresh your memory before (and during) each promotion you write. These are especially useful if you are stuck for ideas or just want to brainstorm how "best" to approach a particular ad, sales letter or campaign. (I use these summaries to stay fresh even though it's MY course. After all, who can remember everything at all times?)
Reason #4: The word "shortcut" has great appeal. Especially in this day and age when there is so much to do and so much to keep up with. I love it when I find a-for real-better, faster way of accomplishing something. As do most people.
So those are the four reasons I chose the title.
I designed the course in a logical, step-by-step, easy-to-understand fashion. I'll take you by the hand from Headline to P.S. (in order) and show you exactly how it is done. No guesswork. No theory. No B.S. Nothing to work out on your own. Just clear, simple instructions written in plain English.
Here's a "sneak peek" into the hard-won, insider secrets each section reveals...
Chapter 1:
How To Write Killer Headlines
That Are Impossible To Ignore!
The four crucial elements found in every
great headline! (These elements force people to read your
advertising... because... they strike right at the heart of basic human
nature. The same human nature that hasn't changed since the beginning
of recorded history. If you don't infuse your headline with at least
one-preferably, two or more-of these critical elements every time...
you're doomed to fail!)

5 more critical secrets I've learned from
The power of the "magic pill" solution!
What "work" words are, how to identify them
in your copy... and... why you must eliminate them! (This separates the
wannabes from the world-class. I can instantly identify B-level and
C-level copy from A-level by the "work" word factor. Why? Because
of the deep-level, critical thinking required not to use work words in
copy. The B-level [and below] guys just don't get it.)
How to use the "fresh eyes" technique to
eliminate deadwood headlines... and... uncover the killer ones!
Five additional books (three, out-of-print)
on writing killer headlines you must read and reread... and... how
to get them!
I want to take a brief time-out here to make a point. As you may have noticed, the first four chapters of my course deals with "how to" write killer headlines. And actually, as you'll see in just a second, the fifth chapter deals with headlines some, too. Why did I do this? It's simple...
If You Don't Get The Headline
Right... Nothing Else Matters!
Nothing. Nada. Zilch. If your headline doesn't do its job, no one will read a stitch of your brilliant body copy. That is, if they don't "buy into" your headline, they don't read on. And if they don't read on, they don't buy... period! That's why I spent so much time on headlines.

in relation to your headline! (Again, instant disaster if you don't
cover your ass here!)

Joe passed away in 1980. (Also, Gary Halbert [they were friends]
told me Joe's full-page ad worked so well, he could run it something like three times
a week in the Los Angeles Times, every week... and... still

Real-Life Success Stories And
General Praise I've Received So Far For
"Shortcut Copywriting Secrets™"
"Scott, you took me from living in my Nissan Pathfinder, to making over $10,000 a month..."
"First of all....The course rocks!! And, the Readers Digest
drills were very helpful. Never even thought of reading that
before. Great advice. Changed the way I look at openings.
The Bucket Brigade, too, was a 10! Back to me. Scott, you took me
from living in my Nissan Pathfinder, to making over $10,000.00 a month with
words on paper and teaching kids karate classes at premium prices. And
get this.... I'm still only teaching 3 days a week! In fact, our
industry's trade journal is publishing my article and may even put me on the
cover. We'll see. Of course, I won't mind smiling for the photo
shoot now because I just paid cash for a set of 8 Porcelain veneers.
Fixing my teeth was on my goal list for over a decade. Done!"
-- Scott Palangi, Tappan, New York
As a way of saying "thanks", Scott sent another letter--awhile back at Christmas time--with a real "live" $100 bill attached to it.

good copywriter. Scott covers everything you need to know about writing
copy for mind boggling response."

"... doubled my conversion rate and sales!"
"Your Advanced Copywriting Package is Awesome! Even though the
package wasn't cheap, I made all my money back in 60 days... and I hadn't
even read Chapter 1. You see, I used just 1 of the "critique
certificates" that was included in the package... followed the two
simple, but powerful suggestions you made on my web site sales letter and within
a few days I doubled my conversion rate and sales!"
-- Victor Cheng, Redwood City, California (Victor is actually an
Insider's Club Member which is an option I don't currently offer. But
when I did, and at the time Victor signed up... the cost was $1,977.00).
"Your course is easily worth ten times what I paid for it..."
"Scott, when I heard about your new course, 'Shortcut Copywriting
Secrets' I thought to myself, 'Is there really anything new to learn
about copywriting? I mean, after studying books and tapes by Gary
Halbert and John Carlton, haven't I already learned everything I need to
know?' I went ahead and bought your course just to see what else I
might discover. When it arrived, I devoured it. What you
have created is an incredibly powerful and elegant process that any motivated
person can rapidly master and go on to produce highly effective, cash
producing direct response advertising copy. While there are a few other
great resources out there, what makes your course really different from the masters
who have gone before you is its elegance. You have taken the very best
direct response copywriting trade secrets and distilled them into a simple
formula that anyone can follow. Your course is easily worth ten times
what I paid for it, and I would urge any copywriter or copywriting student to
grab your course right now before you decide to double or triple the
price."

"Your course was exactly what it claimed to be: Shortcuts."
"Scott, I'm a newbie copywriter but have had the privilege to learn
from some of the best these past few months... Bencivenga, Halbert, and
Carlton. Your course was exactly what it claimed to be:
Shortcuts. It was like bottling those three up and just squeezing out
the good parts."

)."

"The
simple changes we learned from Scott's course
helped us double our sales in a little over a month!"

that only increased our sales by 5-10%. The simple changes we learned
from Scott's course helped us double our sales in a little over a month!
The best part is it only took us about 15 minutes to make the changes and
cost us under $20! Thanks Scott!!"
-- Ryan Azevedo, President / CEO, Jiggerbug.com
"Your course is, for real, the only program that explains every detail of how to write a sales message from the pre-script headline right down to the P.S."
"Scott, I just finished reading your Shortcut Copywriting Secrets
course. It's really amazing. I've got two of the most famous-and
heavily-promoted-copywriting courses and almost every single classic book on
how to write copy. Your course is, for real, the only program
that explains every detail of how to write a sales message from the
pre-script headline right down to the P.S. You've taken all the B.S.
out and boiled all the information down to the most critical elements of not
only how to write copy... but... how to learn the skill. Thanks for a
fantastic product."

"I have a little red bag I take with me everywhere I go. During
our last hurricane here in Florida, it was the first thing I brought with me
in my 'safe-room.' Because in it contains EVERYTHING I need
to create the copy that allowed me to deposit $59,436.26 in my bank
account this month in copywriting and royalty fees. If you opened
that bag, the first thing you would see, lying right on top, is Scott Haines'

"Scott
Haines's Hottest Sales Letters Vol 1!"
A Collection Of Winners-Responsible For Millions And
Millions Of Dollars In Sales-From The Frontlines Of Tested,
Direct Response Advertising.
For a few years now, ever since I released Shortcut Copywriting Secrets™, many course owners have hounded me for a swipe file of my personal, hottest, winning sales letters.
To be truthful, I've been a little reluctant to put one together. Partly out of laziness, and partly due to the fact a lot of my clients would rather not have their control pieces revealed.
However, recently, I decided that such a collection of letters would be a great companion to my course... and... that my course is a little incomplete without samples of my writing. Yeah, there are some samples in the course, but not complete, stem to stern examples with detailed explanations and back story as to why they worked so well.
So, I combed my files for killer sales letters (ads, postcards, et cetera) I've written (ones that I can reveal) that I think would be of benefit to you. And here's what I found:
A sales letter for seminar tapes that made $41 for every $1 spent mailing it!
A postcard for a famous guru that beat out 8 other top copywriters... that is... until the guru swiped my idea for another card... retested... and mine lost (by a slim margin). Further, I was never hired or contacted again by this guy. I actually lost to my own idea! I'll tell you more about this instructional incident in the analysis of the postcard. And although this technically isn't a winner, it's still a very good piece of copy... and... I think, important to include in the file.
A sales letter that made $6.5 million from a tiny list of just 13,000 people!
A sales letter that regularly raked in $21 for every $1 spent mailing it to cold lists! (Note: A "cold" list is a list of people whom you have no previous relationship with. That is, they have no idea who you are... so... it's an infinitely harder sale to make!)
A postcard that received a 13%+ response to cold lists!
A masterpiece "damaged set" letter that instantly squeezed out over $65,000 from people who refused to respond previously! (In fact, my client had all but given up on these leads until I suggested and wrote this letter for him to send. Needless to say, he was shocked and quite pleased by the results.)
A lead generation sales letter that doubled
a financial client's previous best effort... taking him to nearly a 10%
response rate from cold lists!
A sales letter that received a 21% response selling a $10,000.00 per year coaching service!
A letter for Trump University that became the #1 pulling promotion for my client... a $65 Million+ per year company! (I actually got to write as Donald Trump!)
And many more!
All in all, this collection contains 13 sales
letters, 3 postcards, 1 broadcast fax letter, 1 space ad, 1 voicemail script,
1 "closing the sale on tape or CD" script and 1 lead-generation
e-mail. 21 separate, winning pieces that I was paid over $100,000.00
in fees alone to create... not counting the royalties I received.
Now, there are three ways a collection of sales letters like this will benefit you:
1. You can copy them out in your own handwriting to help ingrain winning copy into your neurology and physiology. This really is a true shortcut to copywriting mastery. Doing this exercise regularly helps you pick up the tempo, flow and vocabulary of world-class copy.
2. You can tear them apart for concepts/copy angles, pricing ideas, guarantees and more. You can use them as idea starters. Stuck on a project... or... not sure how to start? Just open up these letters and start thumbing through them. I often do this with my letters (and other people's) and quickly have several ideas I can work with immediately!
3. You can use them as templates for selling similar goods or services.
So, you see, having a collection like this is one of the most valuable things you can own when it comes to success with your copy and your direct response projects.
It truly is a priceless collection and, in and of itself, should cost thousands of dollars... however... you can get it, along with Scott's complete course and quick-start, quick-study guide for just ...
$997.00
$0 For
A Limited-Time!
Listen: Scott's course is a helluva deal when you consider the time, energy, and money Scott had to expend... not just
to uncover these secrets... but also... to put them down into a
logical, easy-to-understand course of instruction that will serve you for a
lifetime. You're getting everything Scott used everyday on the
frontlines of direct, accountable advertising. All the inside
info Scott used to write advertising that
has pulled in millions and millions of dollars in sales and profits... making
Scott and his clients a small fortune in the process. All of Gary Halbert's true secrets passed down to the copywriter he called his best student... And you are getting
it for nothing!
But why am I doing this? It's simple.
It's a bribe. It's a shameless bribe to get you to sign up for Scott's new...
Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2!
This new course is based on Scott's brainstorming notes since 2004, of which the majority are from the last 3 years. I found them as I cleaned out his apartment here in Austin, Texas where we used to hangout all the time.
What I found was this.
After surveying his list, Scott knew his students were hungry for winning sales letters, and especially control pieces that couldn't be beat. Not only that, his students wanted to know the inner workings of what went into writing these homerun and control ads.
Scott wrote in his notes he wanted to update his Hottest Sales Letters Volume 1 to include more of his homeruns, especially the more recent sales letters. In fact, Scott didn't want to just break down his own ads himself. He wanted to use his vast network of A+ copywriter and marketer buddies and get them to share their wisdom too. Scott had literally wanted to get more of his winning sales letters, ad breakdowns, and input from his copywriting friends since 2004. He just never got around to doing it.
And thus, I went to work. Since late January 2017, I've probably spent (conservatively) over 600 hours going through 21 of Scott's boxes, his old computer, countless journals and speaking to many of his past copywriting clients.
What I discovered... blew the minds of even his closest friends and fellow Gary Halbert proteges, Sam Markowitz, Amit Suneja, Caleb O'Dowd, and Carlos Duran.
Get this...
Scott had been hoarding hundreds of his own sales letters from over the years, including controls still being used today. His longest-running client told me over Skype, he was still running at least three of Scott's ads online and couldn't find any other copywriter who could beat Scott. One of Scott's controls made this client over $4,000,000 from 2003 to 2006 and is still being used today. And guess what? Because Scott meant so much to this client and to honor Scott's legacy, I've been given permission to share all three controls with Scott's students... including you.
But wait. It gets even better.
Then there was the time Scott beat a control in the health market which had been mailed over 30,000,000 (thirty million) times over the last 17 years. Scott didn't just beat it. He obliterated it by taking a totally different approach.
In fact, if Scott’s controls were all you got from Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2, it might be the most valuable copywriting resource you've ever seen. But, it keeps getting even better.
Here’s exactly what you’ll receive when you invest in Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2...
Scott's original Shorcut Copywriting Secrets course ($997 Value).
Scott's original Hottest Sales Letters Volume 1 ($497 Value). This collection contains 13 sales letters, 3 postcards, 1 broadcast fax letter, 1 space ad, 1 voicemail script, 1 "closing the sale on tape or CD" script and 1 lead-generation e-mail. 21 separate, winning pieces that Scott was paid over $100,000.00 in fees alone to create... not counting the royalties he received. (These ads will be available to you instantly in your member's area).
Scott's Hottest Sales Letters Volume 2 ($497). Receive 12, never-before-seen homeruns (including 4 controls) which Scott had buried on his hard drive. (These ads will be available to you instantly in your member's area and shipped to your home).
21 Breakdowns Of Scott's Most Successful Ads ($Priceless). Get instant online access and go deep into the mind of Gary Halbert's best student, Scott "Mongo" Haines, with some of the top copywriters in the world like...
Million Dollar Mike Morgan, Clayton Makepeace, David Deutsch, And David Garfinkel!
Not only will you receive ad breakdowns of 9 ads in Hottest Sales Letters Volume 1, you'll also receive the following breakdowns of Scott's never-before-seen ads in Hottest Sales Letters Volume 2, including:
Ad Breakdown #1: A 14-year Control Selling Software for $3,970. ($197 Value) - "Million Dollar" Mike Morgan, an A+ copywriter for Agora --with multiple controls-- broke down this masterpiece. This ad is still being used today after generating over $4,000,000 between 2003 and 2006. It still can't be beat. (Plus, Mike is a long-time customer of Shortcut Copywriting Secrets and still studies it from time to time).
Ad Breakdown #2: A 13-year Control Selling A $297/Month Continuity Program. ($197 Value) - Clayton Makepeace, the highest-paid copywriter in the world, put his copy chief hat on for this breakdown. Scott would always look back even on his big winners to see where he might have improved things. Well, Clayton demonstrated what it looks like to improve a winner even more. (By the way, Scott was on Clayton's radar (marketers kept bringing up Scott to Clayton) and would have probably worked with him).
Ad Breakdown #3: A 10-year Control Selling A 6-Week E-Class For $2,855. ($197 Value) - Caleb O'Dowd, called one of the top five copywriters in the world according to Gary Halbert, broke this ad down. Caleb and Scott, fellow Halbert proteges, remained close throughout the years.
Ad Breakdown #4: Beat A Health Control That Had Mailed Over 30,000,000 Times Over 17 Years. ($197 Value) - Craig Clemens, a top copywriter in the same health and wellness niche, provided some valuable insight on how to stay out of legal trouble with the FTC. Plus, Craig explains how Scott was able to obliterate this control by approaching the prospects's main problems, fears, and frustrations from a totally different angle. Fun fact: This client insisted Gary Halbert write this letter. Gary outsourced it to Scott, and the client was none the wiser. That's how amazing Scott was at writing copy like Gary Halbert.

Anyway.
It has taken a lot of time, effort, and money to put together Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2 and continue my best friend's legacy, while still grieving. But it's definitely been worth it knowing that a whole new generation of aspiring copywriters and marketers will get to learn from Scott's genius.
Scott made it abundantly clear in many of his different journals that he didn't want to sell his Shortcut Copywriting Secrets course anymore for less than $997.
However, he did have a sale once in awhile for special occassions.
So, here's the deal:
If you invest in Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2 during this special launch to honor Scott's legacy, I'm going to do the following.
Deal #1 - I'm going to give you Scott's original Shortcut Copywriting Secrets course (the one Gary Halbert said everyone should study before studying anything Gary wrote on copywriting) and Scott's Hottest Sales Letters Volume 1 for $0 instead of $997. In fact, I'll ship everything to you free of charge and cover shipping & handling.
It's my gift to you to honor Scott's legacy and get his course into as many hands as possible.
Deal #2 - And although one homerun swipe and breakdown can run you, in many cases, $197, I'm not going to charge you $4,137 for all 21 ad breakdowns.
At over $5,134 in value, I'm not even going to charge you $1997.
For a limited time only, your investment today will only be...
$997
I know it's a helluva deal from the success stories Scott's received... and also... because Scott easily spent well over $50,000 (probably more than $100,000), plus nearly all his adult working life... and... thousands upon thousands of hours of study, sweat and toil to uncover the shortcut copywriting secrets my course contains.
Not to mention, you're getting Scott's quick-start, quick-study guide (This is your training schedule and curriculum of quick study that will "amp up" your copy skills and have you cranking out winner after winner in no time flat!)... and... a collection of his ultra-successful promotions that are the result of over 500 hours of actual writing and research (more, if you count the time Scott spent just thinking about the projects) that, if you had to hire Scott to create them for you personally, would cost you in excess of $100,000.00 in fees alone!
Which reminds me...
There Are NO Refunds!
Most of the products Scott wrote about had some of the best guarantees ever written.
However, Scott's own course is the exception.
Why? It's simple. Scott told me he didn't want "tire kickers" or look-e-loos" having (and most-likely, stealing) his homerun swipes and step-by-step blueprint on how to write like Gary Halbert.
Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2 is for the serious student of copywriting only. And if what I've described here still leaves you with some doubts... then...
Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2
Is Not For You!
And one last thing: I'm seriously considering raising the introductory price of Shortcut Copywriting Secrets Version 2 soon from $997 to $1497. It's certainly worth that much and more. Sam Markowitz, Gary Halbert's last protege and great friend to Scott, told me I shouldn't sell it for anything less than $1997.

"Who Is Scott Haines?"
By Jack MacDonald
Quite simply, Scott's a direct response copywriter and marketing consultant who's a "go to guy" for several of the top marketers in the world, such as: Gary Halbert, Jay Abraham, Robert Allen and many, many others.
He's sought out, because, it seems he has an unusual knack for creating sales letters and ads that pull in monstrous responses for ultra-expensive products and services. $2,000+ information products. $5,000+ seminars. $10,000+ personal services. It doesn't matter. Scott seems to always find the right "hook" or "angle" to move these goods fast... and... create massive windfall profits for his clients.
He got his start years ago while studying for a Marketing degree in college. However, as he so bluntly puts it, "I quickly found out that what they were teaching me was pure bullshit! What happened was... in the library one day, I stumbled onto some books by old advertising masters. You know, the usual, Hopkins, Ogilvy, Caples, etc. Anyway, they looked good, so I checked them out and started to pore over them day and night. Those books changed my life! They contained the "truth" I had been searching for... and... was not getting from the "Ivory Tower" professors/theorists whom I was being subjected to. In fact, when I told my plans to start my own direct response business to one of the heads of the marketing department, he looked at me smugly and actually laughed. That was a turning point. Anyway, within one semester, I left college and was determined I was going to become a direct marketer for a living... for life!"
Shortly after Scott left college, and started having some success with his own direct response projects, a chance opportunity came up to study under Gary Halbert. That was in 1998. And he hasn't looked back since.
With the sage mentoring of Halbert, Scott has transformed into a truly world-class copywriter... writing sales letters and ads that have pulled in millions and millions of dollars in ultra-profitable sales over the last few years for a wide variety of clients and many industry insiders.
Now, through his new course, he's revealing the hyper-responsive, sometimes sneaky, but always ethical, shortcut copywriting secrets he's acquired through years of diligent, relentless (not to mention, expensive) study... and... real-world, frontlines experience.
What you learn in this course will shave a minimum of 5 years (if not 10) off the learning curve of YOU becoming a copywriting and advertising master.
Enjoy!
P.S. By the way, this web site was NEVER an attempt by Scott to acquire new clients. His schedule was booked far in advance... and... he had no plans of accepting any new clients in the near future. On the rare occasion when he did accept a new client, he commanded a somewhat staggering fee of $25,000 plus 5% of gross sales for any campaign he created.
Also, Scott didn't accept phone calls, however, Big Jason can be reached by
letter at: 6130 W. Flamingo Rd, #347, Las Vegas, NV 89103... or... by Skype @ bigmarketing... or by phone at 702.605.4749.

"What
Others Say About Scott Haines
And His Copywriting Abilities...
"Scott is truly one of the best
copywriters in the world... and... one of only three people whose opinion I
trust. Over the last eight years or so, he has written numerous pieces
of advertising for me, all of which were enormously successful. What's
maybe most impressive is his uncanny ability to sell high-ticket items with
ease. Last year, he wrote a letter that made $36 for every $1 spent
mailing at a price point of $970. A letter he just wrote for me has
made (so far) $23 for every $1 spent at a price point of $1,222... and...
we're still getting orders! Scott has my highest recommendation."
-- Gary C. Halbert, "The World's Greatest Copywriter!"
"Last year Scott wrote a sales letter
for me that pulled a 4% response. That may not sound too impressive,
however, once you realize the selling price per unit - $1,032 - it becomes
immediately clear that it's very impressive. I made something
like $41 for every $1 spent mailing that letter. Scott and I continue
to work on many projects together. In fact, he recently wrote a
letter for my $10,000 per year 'Platinum Plus' coaching club that pulled an
amazing 21% response! If you get a chance to hire him... don't
think twice! Scott's copywriting and consulting services are
essentially free... because... he makes you so much more money than you
otherwise would. He could charge double what he does now and it'd still
be a bargain. I can't recommend him highly enough."
-- Joe Polish, President, Piranha Marketing, Inc.
"Scott is one of the most obsessed
copywriters on the planet. He has uncovered every single useful secret
of the greatest ads ever written... and proved that they still work, over and
over again, with fresh ads for new products. He's a 'living library' of
tricks, tips and shortcut secrets that will instantly turn even a pure
dog-meat ad into solid gold, literally in a few minutes. Ninety percent
of the copywriters working have no clue what makes a successful ad.
It's not a mystery to Scott, and he proves it over and over again by making
clients rich. Don't pass up this opportunity to learn stuff only a
handful of lucky advertisers ever stumble across in their lifetimes. It
will help you quickly amass a stunning fortune!"
-- John Carlton, "The Marketing Rebel"
"Scott is my own personal marketing
specialist. He is a pro. I, myself, have hired Scott to help me
with several of my marketing campaigns - with great success. I'm
impressed with his work and I know you will be, too!"
-- Robert Allen, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of, Nothing
Down and Creating Wealth. (Note: This quote is from Robert's
New York Times bestselling book, Multiple Streams Of Internet Income.)
