The Gary Halbert Letter

Dear Friend & Subscriber,

Well, here I am, scratching out the first of the second 100 issues of this newsletter.

I've just come back from a seminar and, because of what happened there, I feel like a traitor. Someone once said, "If all else fails, lower your standards" and, that's what I've done. I can't even pretend to feel good about myself anymore. To put it bluntly, I've "sold out." So, since you're bound to find out eventually, I figure I may as well confess to everybody right here in this letter. I'm not going to ask you to forgive me for what I've done but, I'm hoping against hope you'll at least try to understand. Besides, I need to get this off my chest. So, here it is...

I, Gary Halbert, Can Now

Operate A Personal Computer!

I can surf the 'Net, access databases, send E-mail, use a PC like a word processor, plug in a perifial like a printer or a modem all by myself and I have "mouse skills" that would be the envy of any feline who walks the earth.

In short, I now possess a plethora of skills which have absolutely no value to me whatsoever.

However, the computer knowledge I picked up was extremely valuable. Why don't I use a PC as a word processor? For the same reason I don't use a typewriter. For some reason, I'm much more effective when I write on a plain old legal pad using a plain old ball point pen.

You know, everyone is always surprised when they learn I can type. I took typing in high school and, like riding a bicycle, it's something you never forget. And, once in a great while, I actually type something and when people "catch" me at it, they always make remarks like, "Wow! I didn't know you could type. You're actually quite good at it. Why don't you do your newsletters on a typewriter?" (Only now they say "word processor" or "PC".)

It's simple: When I write, I try to be effective, not necessarily efficient. Efficiency doesn't count for much when it comes to writing. Let's say you've got a typist with blazing fingers who can tear out 1,000 words per minute with zero mistakes. Let's say she does this on a PC so it's easy and efficient to rearrange paragraphs, check spelling, use different typefaces, create ingenious letterheads and so forth.

On a scale of one to ten, how important do you think all that is as part of the process of completing a good piece of writing?

The answer: It's not even on the scale. It's not even a "one". It doesn't count at all.

Think I'm wrong? Well then, Bubba, let me drive the point home for you. What follows is an honest-to-God "sales letter" sent to me for a critique. Out of a sense of decency and kindness, I am not going to reveal the name of the person who sent this atrocity to me. But, here's the letter:

Dear Sir:

This is an initial inquiry regarding the availability of seed funds for the ABC Foundation Research Institute. The ABC Foundation was first incorporated in the State of Delaware. Seed funds are now required to develop funding for the research institute and its operation. The purpose of the research institute is given in the business plan of the institute. Allow me to cite two sections from the executive summary of the business plan.

"How can our understanding of the molecular biology of life be integrated into the general theoretical understanding of nature? How can then a better understood molecular biology be technologically applied to further human welfare? Only biotechnology based on a deep understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms will allow us to meet the problems of the next decade in fighting illness, senescence, starvation and pollution."

"Information is the basis of all life processes. How is the information generated, processed, or lost in biological systems? New biology is complex. To use it effectively, a substantial research effort is required, combining the best minds in both experimental and theoretical pursuit. Such a research effort can best be met by an institute, specifically set up to conduct advanced theoretical and experimental studies of the underlying problems in the life sciences."

Seed financing will be used to concentrate on broadening the base for funding. Approximately $25,000 will be needed for the following purposes: (1) Get high-quality presentation materials ready. (2) Give presentations to selected potential donors around the country. (3) Attend national meetings to keep up to date on the latest developments. (4) Establish an Internet presence to facilitate exchange of information.

Personally, I am well qualified to undertake this project. Until recently I was Associate Director of the National Center for the Design of Molecular Function at ABC State University. I was there also Research Professor. Before my stay in Massillon, OH, I was on the faculties of Northwestern University and of the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Goettingen, Germany. A full curriculum vitae is available (with over 100 publications).

I am very interested in early availability of seed funds and would appreciate very much to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

John Doe, Ph.D.
President

Now, I ask you, as a sales letter, is that not truly a piece of shit or what? Please note, of course, the author of this "make-you-reach-for-your-checkbook-fast" letter is a Ph.D.

How, pray tell, could he possibly be anything else?

However, to give credit where credit is due, let me at least acknowledge the author of this atrocity is nothing if not persistent. He knows the value of "follow-up." Here's the letter I received just a few days after I received the one you just read:

Dear Gary:

This is a follow-on to my last letter in which I suggested a donation to the ABC Foundation. I enclosed copies of a letter and of the executive summary of the business plan of the planned institute. I decided to add some "free specials" depending on the size of the gift. These "free specials" from the ABC Foundation follow in increasing sequence of the size of the tax-deductable gift.

Donations of $5,000 or more would provide the title "Significant Donor" who receives quarterly newsletters for the next two years.

Donations of $25,000 or more would provide the title "Substantial Donor" who receives copies of all news releases for the next two years.

Donations of $100,000 or more would provide the title "Superior Donor" who receives proceedings of annual meetings of institute research staff for the next two years.

Donations of $500,000 or more would provide the title "Founding Donor" who receives invitations to attend the annual meeting of the institute research staff for the next two years.

If you have any questions or want to discuss any aspects of the planned institute, feel free to call me. With best wishes,

Sincerely,

John Doe

Oh Jesus! Please God forgive me. I can't help it but, reading all this not only has me reaching for my checkbook, it's starting to get me hard. This is so exciting. Coming up with $100,000 or $500,000 will be just a tad difficult for me right now... but somehow... maybe... just maybe... I'll figure a way to do it.

One thing is sure: I AM MOTIVATED!

When you consider that for a mere $100,000 I can receive the title of "Significant Donor" plus do my part to further the molecular biology of life and how it can be integrated into the general theoretical understanding of nature... well, whew!

I'm Hooked!

And you know what got me? It was how well it was typed. I bet this was created on a PC with word processing software by someone who is truly efficient.

Don't get me wrong. Computers have great value. Believe it or not, I've known that for years. But, helping you write better is not a part of what a computer offers you. In fact, using a computer to do your writing will, in some cases (not all) make you a worse writer! Why? Because, screwing around with a computer...

Will Change Your Focus

From Creating Marketing Solutions

And Clear Writing To...

Becoming Good At Clerical Tasks!

But, if you can keep from becoming addicted, I suggest you do learn how to use a computer. NOTE: I did not say you should actually use a computer, I said you should learn how to use one. What you need is to become familiar with the technology so you will know what can be done with computers... and should be done... and what they should not be used for. Computers are part of our world. They're here to stay. They're like telephones: ubitgratour (page 8).

Think of it this way: Your office has 100 telephones and 100,000 prospects who need to be contacted by phone. Should you make all those 100,000 calls yourself?

Of course not. Your job is to tell your phone people who to call and what to say when they get a prospect on the line.

Should you learn how to wire your office for telephones? Of course not. Should you learn how telephones work? Who cares? Should you try to do every single thing with a phone which can be done with a phone? Of course not. You can make obscene calls with a phone. You don't want to do that, do you? You can call and gossip for hours every day. You don't have time for that, do you?

By the way, that's what a huge percentage of people on the InterNet do: Gossip. Mostly about sex. Actually, mostly about sick sex. Probably, 60% (or more) of all messages on the InterNet can be classified as...

Electronic Graffiti!

Enough already about computers.

Let's talk about how to write a good sales message, not how to type or deliver one. One of my clients is Phillips Publishing. As far as I can tell, they have every really great copywriter in the U.S. already working for them. That means they have all six or eight of us.

Writing for Phillips requires every ounce of skill, concentration and judgment a copywriter can possess. Just the research for one of their projects alone can take up to 500 hours. Beyond that, whomever is doing the research needs to be skilled on what to research.

How does Phillips get these great copywriters? Simple: They pay more than any other company in the U.S. At Phillips, nobody makes as much money as the copywriters except the owner, Tom Phillips. This is as it should be. And, you know what's funny? Phillips is eager and willing to find copywriters they can pay $1,000,000 per year and more.

But it seems there are hardly any left. Now the task is not to find any more great copywriters. No, now the task is to find someone (anyone) who can maybe be taught to become one.

And... To Do the

Amount Of Work That's Required!

Different copywriters work in different ways. One of the best, John Carlton, always starts by writing the "bullets" first. After that, then he goes on to writing the headline, subhead, body copy and ordering instructions. Bullets are extremely important. Here's some of what I had to say about them in my issue dated March 19, 1993.

Dear Friend & Subscriber,

Let's do the twist!

You know, I've been writing this newsletter since 1986 and I've written a number of issues on how to write copy.

However, there's at least one important area I haven't covered and, at least to my knowledge, it hasn't been covered in other newsletters or books on how to write copy. What I'm referring to are known in the profession as "bullets." Bullets are little one line statements of what you'll learn about in the book the copywriter is trying to get you to purchase or some other product he's writing about. Bullets are usually preceded by a dot or an asterisk (the bullet) and they look like this:

l What question you must ask when you rent a car to get the lowest price humanly possible!

l How your military record can get you extra Social Security money!

l The single best way ever discovered to sell a house... and... sell it fast!

l How you can legally tape any telephone call you get from a collection agency... and... how to use that tape to scare the hell out of them... and... even use it (legally) to make them pay you a big settlement!

And so on.

Listen, many of the most successful ads running today are nearly all bullets. Often there's a headline and then maybe two or three (or even just one) paragraph to preface the bullets. Here's an example of such a one paragraph preface:

"Are you troubled by prostate problems? If so, you may be interested in a new book just released by XYZ Publishing. Here's a small sample of what you will learn when you read this book:"

Then, of course, there are bullets, bullets and more bullets followed by ordering instructions.

Let me tell you something: Many times a person will read an ad or a direct mail letter containing dozens and dozens of bullets and, he'll order just because one of them appealed to him. A long time ago (I think it was clear back in the '70s) I was doing some work as an outside consultant for Entrepreneur Magazine and I was writing an ad for one of their reports or something and, out of a tremendous amount of bullets there was one hidden in the copy that caused calls to come in for months and maybe even a year later. Here is that bullet:

l FAKE COCAINE: a legal substitute that fools almost everyone!

All that bullet referred to was a small part of the literature in the report or whatever it was in and, I'm not exactly sure who was responding to that particular bullet who would be reading literature from a magazine like Entrepreneur. Come to think of it, maybe it was entrepreneurs... only just those who were doing (or wanting to do do) something illegal.

Had I to do it over, I probably wouldn't have included such a bullet because I sure don't think it attracted the target audience we were hoping to sell. But, this tawdry example does illustrate the pulling power of a single bullet even if it's buried in a large ad.

I started this issue with the words "Lets' do the twist!" What I meant by that is, when you write bullets, you've got to take the facts about the product you're trying to sell and present them in a way that "teases" the reader into wanting the full scoop. Now listen, when I say "twist" I don't mean distort! Your bullets need to be 100% truthful but you need to twist the way you write them so the reader gets a teasing glimpse of a particular benefit of what you're selling which makes him hungry for the rest of the story.

Writing bullets is a real art and I don't have a magic wand that will teach you how to do it. The only way you'll acquire this skill is through a lot of practice. However, what I can give you are examples of how it's done... and... give you those examples in such a way I bet it will be very illuminating for you. So then, here's Gary's attempt to give you a few "aha!" experiences on the art of writing bullets. The way I'm going to do this is to give you a number of real life examples taken from an ad for a book. First, I'll show you what it actually says in the book and then I'll show you the "teaser bullet" written to correspond to that section of the book.

what it says in the book:

"Buyers always ask how long a property has been on the market, and when they find out the home has been on the market a long time they smell blood. What's more, many buyers wonder what's wrong with the property since it hasn't sold yet. They have second thoughts about bidding on such a place, figuring if nobody else thinks the property is worth what the seller is asking, why should they? As a result, the seller can no longer get the kinds of offers he would have gotten in the past... if your home has been on the market for a long time, you may want to consider taking it off the market for a little while. When you put it back on, you can honestly answer it's been on the market a short time..."

the bullet:

l How to sell your home faster by taking it off the market!

what it says in the book:

"The real estate brokers who come to view your home are in essence competing against each other for the listing. And those brokers who have been around for a while have learned from experience that very few new sellers are prepared to hear the truth about what their homes are worth.

"So rather than risk alienating you and losing the listing to a competitor, most brokers will tell you what they think you want to hear, rather than what your home is really worth.

"After a broker has secured the listing, he'll work hard on it for months, gradually getting you to lower your price further and further until finally the home is sold."

the bullet:

l A dirty little secret many real estate brokers hope you never find out!

what it says in the book:

"If your interior designer has used your home to make a personal artistic statement, that's great while you're living there but don't expect it to translate well when you're trying to sell. Rather than overdecorating or overrenovating, try to create a neutral canvas onto which a potential buyer can project his tastes."

the bullet:

l Why adding improvements to your home can lower its value!

what it says in the book:

"Make closets look larger by removing items that can be stored elsewhere. Arrange the remaining items in a neat, organized fashion. Brighten dark, dull closet walls with a coat of paint."

The bullet:

l Something crucial (and unusual) you must do to every closet in your house before you show it to a would-be buyer!

what it says in the book:

"If you want to be extra aggressive, one thing you can do is to offer brokers a higher commission. Better yet, offer a cash bonus to the salesperson making the deal. (This tactic works best for lower-priced properties.)

"You may find the idea of giving the broker extra money distasteful, even outrageous. But look at it this way: While the couple of extra thousand dollars you're parting with is a minute portion of the selling price, it's a huge portion of the salesperson's fee. Since it takes just as much work to sell an inexpensive property as it does an expensive one, why not give the salesperson a reason to work as hard to sell your property as he would one that was a higher price? Besides, if he's a good negotiator he'll be squeezing that extra couple of thousand out of the buyer (or more accurately, the buyer's bank!) anyway."

OK, now that you've had your little refresher on the art of "bulletizing", I've got a very important observation to share with you. Did you see the movie Jurassic Park? The guy who wrote it wrote an earlier book titled Congo which I've just started to read. (By the way, it's a "can't-put-it-downer.") Anyway, the book is populated with several really top level researchers who have I.Q.'s reaching to the stars. These people compete for grant money to fund their research projects. One of the characters in the book is especially adept at getting grants. Yes, he is brilliant and doing important research. But, so are the other scientists competing against him for their funds.

Why does he get chosen so often over the others? Simply, because he is obsessed with his project. Here's a quote from the book:

"Sometimes it's difficult to tell who is the more brilliant but we look for something more important: We look for who is the most driven!"

That's a point so valid, you should never forget it. Years ago, I was driven. I was obsessed with becoming the best advertising copywriter in the world. Whether or not I succeeded is beside the point. What's germane is what I did in furtherance of this noble goal: (1) I ignored my wife, (2) I ignored my children, (3) I wrote advertising during the day, (4) I studied advertising in the evening and...

I Dreamt About

It At Night!

Would you like to be good enough to write for Phillips or some company like that which would be happy to pay you a million or more every year? Or, to learn to do it yourself so you can pay yourself a huge pile of money?

Let's see if you've got what it takes.

Go get five hundred 3x5 index cards. Go to a big newsstand and get dozens of magazines. (If you're strapped for money, you can do this in a library for free.) Only get those magazines with lots of teaser copy ("bullets") on the covers. Cosmopolitan is just about tops when it comes to this. Write one bullet on each index card. Try to pick out only really "Hot Bullets." Keep at it until you have 500 cards with 500 bullets. Then, make a copy of all those 500 cards and send them to me.

What will you get if you do this? Most importantly, you'll get a neurological imprint of writing good bullets. Secondly, you'll get mentioned in this newsletter as someone who is "willing to pay the price." Thirdly, if, in addition to being willing to also pay the price, you also have (or later develop) some talent in writing complete marketing packages, there's a chance I'll recommend you to one or more of the legions of people who are always calling me to see if I can recommend a good copywriter if I'm unavailable.

But, the real payoff is what you'll be giving yourself by the simple act of doing it.

You see, there are no shortcuts!

But, how do you recognize a "Hot Bullet"? Well, until you get some experience, it is somewhat subjective. However, here's some help. What follows is a collection of 105 bullets on different subjects. Each of these was written by John Carlton and nobody is better at "bulletizing" than him. Study John's work. Start by writing each of these 105 bullets on a separate 3x5 index card. Then, you "have the feel" for it... and then... you go out to the magazine stand or bookstore and do whatever's necessary until you've got 500 more.

Sucks, doesn't it? Can't say as I blame you if you don't want to be bothered with this... but... just in case you've got the stuff, here's John's bullets to get you started:

s How to use simple "double checks" (like the "visible knuckle" rule) to instantly make sure you're prepared for any shot... so you'll always get a repeatable result no matter what the conditions are!

s When to use the most simple strike you'll ever learn... an unstoppable natural move so effective in ending fights it's not allowed in full-contact karate tournaments!

s How to use the "hip-swinging secret" soldiers use to drop opponents instantly -- no speed or strength required, yet it's like driving a 160 lb. bar of lead into the bad guy's belly! (It's so effective, you don't even have to come close to hitting your "target" area... even the sloppiest attempt by you will bring him to his knees!)

s How to effortlessly "parlay" the same natural force that has ended more professional football players careers than any other... it's a human's weakest point during a fight (or before a fight begins), and once you know about it you've just increased your ability to defeat a larger man by 200%!

Peace.
