Gary Halbert is mainly a copywriter, a
very successful and experienced copywriter. He has
wonderful skills in writing sales letters and advertising
(ad) copy. He earns a huge income from copywriting. Gary
Halbert began the Gary Halbert Letter back in the
1980s. At that time, he sold letters for fees; now,
however these letters are available on the Internet free.
Gary Halbert has an unusual writing style which is unique
among copywriters. He likes taking product orders by phone
and doesn’t like using the Internet to process them.
At one point in time, Gary Halbert had
some problems with product sales. He kept collecting money
for products, which were not delivered. Since most of the
customers paid with checks and money orders, refunding their
money via credit cards was not possible. After awhile, the
process got totally out of control and Gary was arrested,
prosecuted for fraud, and served a jail term!
Strangely, this didn’t seem to hurt the
goodwill customers felt for him. After getting out of jail,
another copywriting genius, Jay Abraham, asked Gary to speak
with him at seminars. This gave Gary Halbert some income
and Jay Abraham got more realism into his speeches. While
Gary did well at this, it didn’t compare to his earlier
success in copywriting and speaking.
Even after all this, Gary Halbert is
still considered to be one of the best copywriters in the
world! His seminars on “Direct Marketing” and the sales of
his products have earned him a lot of money. For a while,
he published The World of Your Name, a $30.00 book
that explains the origins of surnames. Recently, Gary
Halbert has created a program and seminar on picking
stocks. The seminar costs $3,970! The program is called
How To Make Up To 17 Profitable Trades Every Single Day the
Market Is Open. It is extremely well-written, as one
would expect. One of Gary’s trademarks is to attach a new
$1.00 bill to a direct marketing letter to capture the
recipient’s attention.
Gary Halbert’s copywriting skills are
not only excellent, they are educational as well. If you
regularly read and study his letters and sales and marketing
books, they will provide tons of information and help you
improve your ads and letters to customers. You will create
first class, highly convincing ads and bring many customers
to your website.
Don’t confuse Gary Halbert with Gary D. Halbert, a
well-known investment counselor and CEO of ProFutures, Inc.
