[GET] MY LIFE AS A 50+ YEAR OLD WHITE MALE

[51st]

Thanks
Of course thats not the original website but let me enlighten abit
We humans are characters of habit and we members of BBHF will feel abit empty when this site POOFED, trust me.
Now you get my point?
Makepeace original site was my go to intro to copywriting and thats how I knew of AWAI
The rest is history
Also maybe my loss was not the site per se but the daily fresh content
He had almost 10-15 top copywriters giving their best and this included:
Carlene
The original owner of rise n shine
Bob bly
Among others

I saw that you said this: "I mourned when makepeace dismantled his original website, but when he departed, I was abit stronger."

Sorry to hear about you mourning the loss of the site, but you DO know that you could have always still accessed the site through

archive.org

Just go there, punch in

makepeacetotalpackage.com

And you will get the whole website with all of his archived articles from 2005-2010 they are still up there-

Enjoy!

I am not sure exactly what you are asking me here. I think you mean, "What courses by Clayton Makepeace did you study?".... Right?

If yes, over the years I have been active here and on other sites. By nature, I am a collector of information on things that I am interested in. Copywriting is one of those topics that I have spent years studying.

Anyone that has been serious about their craft of copywriting has come across Clayton's work. Clayton and a long list of greats have been my Educators.

BBHF is a treasure trove of information if you dig in and drink of the wealth contained here. That and asking other members when you need assistance.

I am "Old School" in that I believe in the "Give Before You Recieve" way of downing things. That is why if you look at my reps, you can see that over the years I have tried to assist as much as possible. I was so happy when I made the 10K club here. Nothing like the 100K club Layna belongs to. She is in a separate class altogether.

But for me, the 10K was a badge of honor. It was a sign that I had given back a tiny fraction of what I had received from being a member here. And I truly mean TINY because it is amazing the access we have to information here on this site.

I have been working for almost 40 years and was raised Pre-Internet, so the old ways of either buying books or going to the library was how I learned in the past. Now I am deeply digital, roam the planet (currently in Australia), as I ply my craft to what interests me.

Much of what I have learned in the last 20 years has come from being a member on sites like BBHF or the trusted connections I have built up over the years.

If you want to learn more about copywriting, do a search for the user: NonConformer on BBHF. Have a look at a number of the threads. Specifically, have a look at this one and read all the posts inside:

http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-4-Co...loody-Rich

That is just a single starting point, but he (she?) is talking about some of the Old Masters of Copywriting and if you track those works down, read them (more than once), you will be laying down a foundation. Of course, this will open a floodgate in your mind if copywriting is something that interests you as you continue to improve your abilities.

Hope that answers your question and gives you more to ponder...

Cheers,

G.S.

Hey 51st- I hear you and absolutely get what you're saying. If you were referring to having your "daily go-to site" for your favorite content, insight, inspiration etc. only to wake up one day and find it gone, that definitely does leave a hole in your heart. I've been on this forum for quite a while but do not recall or wasn't around for when this site went down however many years ago that was, but it's blown back up for sure over the years to become what it is today (Minus the issues Layna "will you marry me" 61524 unfortunately had to endure here a while back)-


Anyway I'm very grateful for this thread with everyone's contributions including yours Gordon for sure as you've all reminded of some of the great works that I have stored away but had forgotten about-

Have a great day!
