Books:
Here's my recommended reading list. My bookshelves are literally filled with marketing and advertising books and I try to review as many as I can. Here is my list of top books you MUST read:

"Scientific Advertising" by Claude Hopkins. Now in public domain read it online for free.

"My life in Advertising/Scientific Advertising" by Claude Hopkins. "My life in Advertisng" is not public domain and worth reading. I've read both these books about 7 times.

"My first 65 years in Advertising" by Maxwell Sackheim. Out-of-print.

"The Robert Collier Letter Book" by Robert Collier. Out-of-print, but still available from TWI press. Well worth it.

"How to Write a Good Advertisement" by Victor Schwab. One of the first books I ever read on advertising and still one of the best.

"Tested Advertising Methods" by John Caples. Absolute classic. Devour this one and also look for Caples' other books that are out of print.

"Advertising Secrets of the Written Word" by Joe Sugarman. Sugarman has made millions for himself selling blu-blocker sunglasses. His copywriting book is a tremendous resource for any copywriter.

"Ogilvy on Advertising" by David Ogilvy. An absolute must-have classic written by an agency man who actually understood direct response.

"Magic Words that Bring You Riches" by Ted Nicholas. One of my direct marketing heroes. Ted took the guts of his $197/year newsletter on direct marketing and distilled it into this book.

"The Ultimate Sales Letter" by Dan Kennedy. Superb book. My copy is dog-eared and heavily used. Perfect for helping you create your own powerful sales letter.

"Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini. This isn't a copywriting book but you must get this book. I've read it at least 7 times and it will help you understand the psychological triggers to a sale. Very Powerful!!
