Publisher, the title of this thread is who your favorite copywriting teacher is... not what copywriters want to buy.

If you'd like to continue your conversation about what copywriters want to buy, please start a new thread about it.

Sorry Ben. I was sincere in asking which of your favorite copywriters are insightful and honest enough to tell us what kind of shopping experience they themselves wish to have.

That kind of copywriter could become my favorite copywriter too.

If I knew of such copywriters, I would list them here for you, but I don't.

I'm sorry to bend the thread towards my interests, but, you know, there's not much else going on here. We can all just be quiet together if prefer.

It's not about what I prefer (personally, I like "free for alls" as much as the next guy).

But out of respect for Lynn Terry (it's her forum), topics should be kept in the right places and be respectful of what she's built here.

(Even if there are only 4 of us posting...)

Three teachers and why...

Gary "The Prince Of Print" Halbert:
Probably goes without saying as to the lessons and wisdom he shared. But more so because I spoke with Gary on the phone for two hours, one time...and learned more about marketing in that short time than since. Contrary to some views, Gary was very approachable on the phone...and he actually told me he wished others would have simply picked up the phone and called him.

Ben "I Don't Have To" Settle
That's right, our own Ben Settle is on my list of Copywriting teachers. Ben's proven track record...and two copywriting ebooks...combined with the interviews and other material on http://bensettle.com have more course-level material in them than just about any other product available to learn how to write copy.

BenSettle.com actually had a different look, I have been following the site since the early posts.

Ryan "The Healymonster" Healy
The nickname was actually given to him on Twitter...but Ryan is a dear friend, and is responsible for helping me to refine even further my Online copywriting skills...plus some of our marketing phone calls would have to be locked up in a vault somewhere...because Ryan, although only XX years old...has the wisdom of Yoda from Star Wars

All kidding aside, Ryan has been very giving of his time...and is an extraordinary teacher.

Now, I could also add the all-star names like Bencivenga, Masterson, Makepeace, Hopkins, Karbo, Sugarman, etc... etc...

Because I have read and studied them all...but I thought I would use this opportunity to reveal those who really deserve "direct" thanks and who have directly impacted my own very successful copywriting business.

Thanks guys!
