Announcing: Son of Sam’s 1-Person Advertorial Agency

by

Today, you can get your furry little mittens on the 1-Person Advertorial Agency, which I believe to be the hottest opportunity for copywriters in 2026.

The background:

Sam Bradbury-Butler is a rare beast, an actual, living freelance copywriter who is doing GREAT, both in 2025 and even in these few days of 2026.

Sam’s been working with various ecom clients over the past few years. He has made millions for them by producing (rather than writing) advertorials, and he’s getting PAID as a result.

How paid?

This January 1st, just 11 days ago, Sam got paid over $49,900…

… for one month’s work, or rather, for one month’s results…

… for just ONE client. And Sam’s got a buncha clients.

How Sam does it, and how you can do it too, is what you can find out on the sales page below.

It lays everything out in gruesome detail.

In short, 1-Person Advertorial Agency is a copywriting-business-in-a-box, and it shows you, step-by-step, with nothing held back:

* How Sam gets advertorial clients who have never heard of him before, without flexing his portfolio or client results…

* How he stamps out advertorials that convert on cold traffic, in as little as 47 minutes (AI does the heavy lifting, Sam double checks and polishes)

* How he swings performance deals rather than retainers (performance deals = more money, less workee)

… and, most important, HOW YOU CAN DO THE SAME. I mean that.

The classical business opportunity pitch is always, “… with no experience needed!”

Well, as you can see on the sales page below, that’s actually true here.

One zero-experience dude named Maceo took Sam’s advertorial printing press and made his first $100k as a copywriter.

Another zero-experience dude named Tom took this system and, within 4 hours, produced an advertorial that increased conversions for an ecom business by 30%.

As Sam himself says:

“If I had no case studies and zero clients… I would spend the next 30 days using this system to write an advertorial every day for brands I liked and send it to them offering to test it free of charge.”

Of course, if you do have some experience, it won’t hurt, and who knows, it might even help. In fact, if there were one thing that can lure me back into copywriting, this 1-Person Advertorial Agency might turn out to be it.

This is only the second time this program is being made available.

I promoted it the first and only other time it appeared, last August. Back then, it was only open with 30 spots, and it sold out in something like 12 hours after I wrote about it to my list.

That’s to say, this is a legit untapped opportunity, which not a lot of people know about, but which you can properly benefit from.

If you wanna find out more about it, or better yet, get started with it today:

Taking credit for your rock star clients’ results

by

A few days ago, I was on a call with “Rebelpreneur” Gasper Crepinsek.

Over the past couple years, Gasper built an online brand teaching people AI. He’s still doing that, but this year he is going broader, using his background as an ex-Boston Consulting guy to help people build actual and sustainable businesses online.

I helped Gasper launch a $1k+ offer last month.

We worked on it together for a couple weeks, then Gasper went out and sold it to three people in his audience in a matter of days. He then started delivering the actual offer.

Result: One of Gasper’s clients already closed his own sales and is making money as a result of working just a few weeks with Gasper.

About that, Gasper said, “He’s attributing it to me, but I told him, ‘It’s all you.'”

My message to Gasper on our call, and maybe to you now, is to take credit where you’ve earned it.

Sure, it’s smart to sell to people who would succeed with or without you. When they do inevitably succeed, there’s a glow on you as well.

That doesn’t mean you can’t take some of the credit, and legitimately.

Even if somebody is an absolute rock star, you can inspire them… you can push them a bit… you can guide them through a process so they get results faster, sooner, easier, more enjoyably than they might have done otherwise.

In Gasper’s case, his client might have done something similar in another 3 or 6 months. But because of working with Gasper, he’s got another, say, $5k in the bank, today.

That’s pretty much what my situation is with Gasper as well.

The dude was succeeding and would have succeeded more, one way or another, with or without me.

But I helped him come up with a simple, attractive offer that, from the looks of it, will be his main, high-ticket, backend money-maker for the coming year. (Gasper says, “It’s crazy how much people like it,” meaning the offer).

Is having a $1k+ offer, which you can readily sell to your list, something that interests you?

If so, hit reply and let me know.

You can’t buy anything here. But if you do reply, I’ll give you a 1-page overview of the process that I guided Gasper through, so you can go do it yourself if you like.

Where to buy crack

by

A few days ago, I saw a video on YouTube that has since been taken down, I’m guessing because of the provocative topic.

The video was by a former crack addict, now turned sobriety coach. The title of it was something like:

“I am a crack addict, I can find crack anywhere”

The dude told a story to illustrate:

He used to have a white collar job (tech sales, “always the next easy thing”). At the same time, he was also a crack addict as his true primary occupation.

One day, his boss and he flew to a sales conference in a new town, I believe Orlando.

Sales conference is fine. But the real question was, where to buy crack in this new town, and quick?

The dude couldn’t just ask other sales conference attendees. “Hey are you from here? You know a good place to buy some crack?”

But he did get the info, and from the other conference attendees, and immediately.

Of course he didn’t ask directly.

Not only would he be compromising himself, but more importantly (crack being his primary occupation and interest) he wouldn’t actually find out where to buy crack.

The other conference attendees couldn’t verbalize the answer, either because they would find the question personally threatening or offensive, or because it’s something they had never thought about, because “where to buy crack” is not the way they think about their city.

So what did the guy do?

Simple. He asked, “Hey are you local? Where should I NOT go? Which part of town am I likely to get knifed or gunned down in?”

As the dude tells it in the now-deleted video, within 15 minutes, he had taken a cab, bought a crack pipe, and was smoking. This led to a three-day crack binge, getting fired from his tech sales job, and a shameful flight back home, sitting next to his former boss.

And now, you know where and how to get crack if you ever find yourself in a new town. But if you’re not planning to travel anywhere new, let me point out how this is also relevant to you right where you are.

Forget about the crack for a minute. Put that aside.

Instead, think about trying to sell your offer.

I’ve heard sales described as “the process of getting the truth on the table.”

How do you do that, though?

You can ask, of course:

“Are you overweight by 40lbs or more?”

Sometimes that can work. But in many cases, it won’t — either because people find the question personally threatening or offensive, or simply because it’s something they had never thought about, because it’s not the way they think about their situation.

Maybe the crack-finding parallels are becoming clear now.

The fix, in both cases, is to ask your leads about symptoms. People might not know they have the problem (or in the case of crack, opportunity). But they sure do know the symptoms, and much of the time, they are willing to tell you.

Over the past few weeks, I have been helping a few folks who have email lists and who had previously tried offering coaching to their audience, only to hear an orchestra of crickets. I’m helping them package up said coaching into $1k+ offers that are easier to sell and deliver.

The kind of asking-about-symptoms I just told you about is a part of this process.

Is having a $1k+ offer, which you can readily sell to your list, something that interests you?

If so, hit reply and let me know.

You can’t buy anything here. But if you do reply, I’ll give you a 1-page overview of how this process works, so you can go do it yourself if you like.

Time to wrap up my 2020 “NYE Party”

by

The time has come to bring my NYE Party, which kicked off earlier this week, to a close. This ain’t no usual NYE Party though.

In my world, “NYE” stands for “No-Guilt Year of Efficiency.”

With this goal in mind for for 2026, I’m promoting Igor Kheifets’s 8020 Productivity training.

Igor’s training shows you the productivity system Igor himself used to go from working 80+ hour weeks and getting paid roughly the wage of a bagger at a Whole Foods…. to working 20 hours a week and making $4.3 million last year.

I’m also offering several bonuses, totaling $300 in real-world, previously-sold-for value, if you decide to get Igor’s training before the party comes to an end.

That will happen tonight at 12 midnight PST. I will stop the music, turn on all the lights, and gently escort any stragglers to the door.

If you want to find out the full details of this offer, while the party is still live, and possibly make a real breakthrough for yourself in 2026:

My recent productivity change and newfound free time

by

I got up late today, showered, and went out for a walk and a coffee by the marina. After a few freezing and grey days, today is beautiful, sunny, and warm in Barcelona.

Sometime during the morning I also had breakfast, during which I listened to Andy Roddick’s tennis podcast.

Around 1pm, once I finish this email, I will go to the pool and swim for an hour (part of my new dedication, a few months old now, to getting an hour of exercise every day).

Pool done, I will pack and head to the airport for an unexpected and frankly unwelcome emergency trip back home to Croatia.

Point being:

I’ve had and will have lots of non-working time today, both for personal and for necessary reasons.

But I don’t feel guilty about the free time because I did something meaningful to move my goals forward today. And no, it’s not this email.

Instead, I followed a practical recommendation, packaged up and sold to me via an insightful analogy, which I heard from Igor Kheifets recently.

This practical recommendation is something I’ve been implementing every day since I heard it, and it has had the effect of changing my own behavior and improving my productivity this month, since I started using it.

This practical change allowed me to get more done, have more free time, and feel good rather than guilty when I’m not working.

(You might reasonably think I shouldn’t feel guilty if I have more free time when I’m getting more done as well. But I can tell you from personal experience, it’s easy to feel the need to fill up newfound free time with some sort of busywork, in order to keep the forms to which I am accustomed. Igor’s practical recommendation and analogy are helping me with that.)

Like I’ve been saying the past few days, today at 6pm CET/12 noon EST/ 9am PST, only about 4 hours from now, Igor will do a live call to talk about his productivity system in detail.

Igor’s productivity system has allowed him to go from working 12 hours a day to working 4 hours a day… from making $130k a year to making $4.3 million a year… from having zero free time to having time for family, friends, video games, vacations, pilot lessons, Netflix, composing songs, and writing kids comic books.

This is the last email will send about this free call before it happens.

I will also give you a little inducement to attend today’s call or at least watch the replay. If you do, you’ll find out what Igor’s insightful analogy was, what his practical recommendation is which I’ve taken up, and the particular something I did today based on these (and no, it’s not writing this email).

Tactical info vs. info that gets results

by

I saw an email today from an email marketer who was complaining about products that only contain stories and big ideas. He proudly contrasted himself to that, by saying how his courses contain really awesome tactical info.

I mean, what’s not to like?

Customers love getting tactical info because such info can be made to feel new and have a wow factor when they open up the box.

Plus tactical info is easy to sell, and at a markup, because it can be positioned in sexy and secretive ways with clever copywriting (I have an entire course on how to do that, called Copy Riddles, in case you’re interested).

The one thing that tactics won’t do, at least not for most of the people buying, is get you results, particularly for the long term.

For results, tried, true, and often very boring and familiar fundamentals are needed, which are much harder to sell. In the words of A-list copywriter Mark Ford, who pretty much invented the selling of secrets at direct marketing publisher Agora:

“There is an inverse relationship between the value of knowledge and what people are willing to pay for it. The most important things in life you’ve probably heard a hundred times before, but you’re not paying attention. When you’re in the right place and you hear it, you have that ‘aha’ moment and everything changes.”

These days I’m talking about Igor Kheifets’s productivity system, which allows Igor to go from working 12 hours a day to working 4 hours a day… from making $130k a year to making $4.3 million a year… from having zero free time to having time for family, friends, video games, vacations, pilot lessons, Netflix, composing songs, and writing kids comic books.

Igor’s system is based on fundamentals and proven principles — probably stuff you’ve heard before in some way or another — applied very thoroughly, as evidenced by Igor’s own results.

Even so, some forward-looking people, who are after results rather than the latest tactics, have already taken me up on this offer. One of them was guitar teacher René Kerkdyk, who wrote me right after going through Igor’s training:

===

Having read Tim Ferris’ 4 Hour Workweek and internalizing the 80/20 mindset in my student years, I thought that this can get more than the $297 out of me.

And I’m not disappointed. “You are always just one good decision away from being on track.” is a great quote I’ll be using in my teaching business from now on.

If over the next 10 years this sentence helps just one student stay one month longer I have a ROI > 1.

Also I have tons of ideas of spelling out the 80/20 of guitar learning. That means email fodder and at least one future issue for my print newsletter.

And I haven’t even opened any of the bonuses.

===

Igor is doing a free call tomorrow at 6pm CET/12 noon EST/9am PST to go over his productivity system in more detail.

Maybe if you attend, you will hear something new?

Or maybe you will hear something you’ve heard before, which will finally click for you, and allow you to have your own breakthrough in 2026?

Like I said, tomorrow’s call is free. And yet it might produce some real results for you, whether or not you decide to take Igor up on his full, fundamentals-based productivity system.

Tomorrow: Free call on the productivity system that works

by

Tomorrow, Thursday Jan 8, at 6pm CET/12 noon EST/9am PST, Igor Kheifets and I will get on a live call to go over the productivity system that allowed Igor to:

Go from working 12-hour days, 7 days a week, and making $130k a year (effective hourly wage: $29/hour)…

… to working 4-hour days, 5 days a week, and making $4.3 million a year (effective hourly wage: $4,479/hour)…

… while having enough time and energy for his family, friends, and his FIFA, Call of Duty, and Netflix addictions.

You’re invited to join us for this call.

If you’re working more than you would like, making less than you had hoped, and are feeling stressed and even a bit guilty about it all… then come hear Igor’s own experience, discover new ideas so you can work less and make more, and get inspired for 2026.

Here’s where to reserve your spot:

Dan Kennedy’s “toaster theory” for your next offer

by

Last night, as my 2026 “NYE party” kicked into gear, I was standing around, a drink in my hand, party hat on my head, yelling over the music and the party blowers to make myself heard, so I could explain to a group of partygoers about Dan Kennedy’s “toaster theory.”

I forget where I first heard this theory, and a bit of digging hasn’t been able to unearth the source.

But in a nutshell, marketer Dan Kennedy once said that whatever offer you create, it needs to be as easy to use as a toaster. Basically push-button. Put the untoasted bread in, push the button, wait a minute, up pops the toast.

For some reason, perhaps because I am simple creature, that image of a toaster has stuck in my head a lot better than a bunch of other explanations of how to make a sexy and user-friendly offer.

Of course, sometimes you can’t live up to this ideal because even in the real world, not everything can be made as easy to use as a real toaster. But you can always take steps to make your offer more toaster-like, and sometimes, you can get surprisingly close to perfect toasterhood.

Case in point:

Back in 2023, I created a course called Insight Exposed. It was about my home-brewed system for keeping journals, taking notes, and coming up with surprising, insightful, valuable ideas.

This system has been immensely valuable to me personally, and has allowed me to get a lot more done in a lot less time.

Anyways, after I finished the course, I had that Dan Kennedy toaster idea rattling in my head. I asked myself, “How could I create a toasterized version of this course? Something that people could use right away, and get results from right away, and that’s as simple to use as pressing a button?”

The result was Insight-Exposed-In-A-Box, which gives you my entire notetaking and journaling setup in just a few moments, at the push of a button or two, just like pressing down a toaster.

Anyways, that was the story I started telling or rather yelling last night, as the party was heating up, as streamers flew through the air, as drinks flowed.

My 2026 “NYE Party” is still going on at the page below.

That’s because this is not a New Year’s Eve party (after all, it’s Jan 6 today). The “NYE” in my “NYE Party” is something entirely different.

Yes, this “NYE Party” has fun elements like disco balls and fireworks at midnight. But it’s also got a serious promise:

Make more in 20 hrs/week in 2026 than you did in 40+ hrs/week in 2025…

… without thinking about work 24/7, or feeling guilty when you’re not working.

At the core of delivering this promise is a masterclass about productivity by expert Call of Duty player Igor Kheifets, who, when not playing video games or doing sports with his kids, runs a $4.3 milllion-a-year info publishing business built on the back of his email list.

Igor works just 20 hours a week for those $4.3 million, and he takes 6-8 vacations a year. In other words, he might have a thing or two to tell you about how to get more done with less time any effort.

Also as part of this “NYE Party,” I’m throwing in a productivity-minded bonus, a free copy of Insight-Exposed-In-A-Box, which I just told you about, and which I previously sold for $200.

(Of course, if you want the full explanation and detail of the Insight Exposed, I’m including that as well.)

In any case, the “NYE Party” goes on, and will go on as long as the police don’t stop us, the electrical company doesn’t turn off the power, and the people inside keep having fun. If you’d like to join us:

Announcing: 2026 NYE Party

by

Maybe you’ve noticed?

It’s 2026.

Maybe you’ve also noticed, New Year’s Eve has passed. (Anyhow, that was New Year’s Eve 2025.)

And yet here I am, running an event I’m calling the 2026 NYE Party.

The “NYE” in this case is special.

Yes, there will be streamers, a disco ball, and fireworks at midnight.

But among all the partying there’s also an opportunity to:

Make more in 20 hrs/week in 2026 than you did in 40+ hrs/week in 2025…

… without thinking about work 24/7, or feeling guilty when you’re not working.

The party has already kicked off. You are invited. I hope you’ll attend? Here’s where to go:

I’m jealous of this lead gen funnel

by

Last August, I promoted Igor Kheifets’s $3.99 book, Click Send Earn, as an affiliate.

$3.99? As an affiliate?

Yes. Because Igor pays out a $30 affiliate commission for each $3.99 sale.

The result was I sent two emails, and made Igor 69 sales, while making a little short of $2100 in commissions for myself.

Igor has got a super smart lead gen funnel here, and the offer he makes — $3.99 sale, $30 CPA — has gotten a buncha other list owners besides me interested in promoting.

Maliha Mannan of the Side Blogger promoted, as did Csaba Borzasi, as did Lawrence Bernstein of Ad Money Machine, with a promo that did so well last October that he is reprising it right now, just three months later.

The reason Igor can offer to pay all these folks $30 for each $3.99 sale is that he has a half dozen order form bumps and a long list of upsells once people buy the book.

Igor knows what a new customer in this funnel is worth to him, and I suspect it’s over $30. Of course, each new customer becomes worth much more when they get on Igor’s email list and are getting exposed to Igor’s back-end offers, many of them high-ticket, which Igor knows to convert.

I am frankly jealous of Igor for this funnel. I would love to have affiliates jostling and clamoring to promote either of my two books, or the new book I’m planning to publish this year.

But who’s got time and energy enough to create and dial in all these order bumps… and upsells… and copy… and funnels… and back-end offers?

Igor does, apparently.

And he does it while working 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, and having a family, and two kids, and writing and publishing comic books, and playing video games, and watching Netflix.

It wasn’t always like this.

Igor used to work 70+ hour weeks on his biz. He was grinding and hustling and making $130k a year. That might sound like a dream to you except it really wasn’t, considering how much he was working, and how little he was able to enjoy it. Plus he was making literally 3% of the $4.3 million he makes a year now.

Today, Igor works much less, gets much more done, makes much more money, and enjoys his free time without thinking about working or feeling guilty for not working.

I’m telling you this because this past November, Igor did a masterclass covering his system for getting more done in less time. He documented the exact productivity system that took him from A to B, from overworked and underpaid to having lots of free time and making a lot of money and publishing comic books.

I’ve been through Igor’s masterclass. I’m taking ideas from it. I’m applying them to what I do.

And starting tomorrow, since it’s the fresh start of a New Year, I will be promoting this system to you as well.

Of course, there will be a special deal.

Of course, there will be bonuses.

Of course, there will be a bit of a party theme, it being only a few days after New Year’s Eve. But party theme or not, the promise here is serious:

Work less, get more done, and feel zero guilt when you’re not working.

If that’s something that makes your subtle body tingle, then read my email tomorrow.
