Who The Hell Is John Carlton?

After 25 years as a notoriously-successful (and outrageously high-paid) freelance copywriter and marketing consultant, John is firmly at the red-hot center of the marketing world, both online and offline.

His career arc is legendary: Partnering with Gary Halbert for a decade… being a “go-to” writer for the largest mailers in the world (including Rodale, where he currently has several controls)… pioneering online advertising tactics (most top Web marketers follow his early revolutionary blueprints)… and starring as the featured speaker at major marketing seminars, including: The infamous “Under-Achiever” event in Australia (with Frank Kern and Ed Dale)… Armand Morin’s “Big Seminar” in Los Angeles… Dan Kennedy’s “Copywriting Bootcamp” in Cleveland… Carl Galletti’s “Information Marketing Seminar” in Las Vegas… Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero’s “Marketing Bootcamp”… the “Tactic 7″ blowout in San Francisco with Harlan Kilstein and David Garfinkel… and over 30 other mainline events.

John’s own workshop seminars on copywriting and marketing sell out at $5,000 per attendee.

His podcasts, teleseminars and interviews are must-hear material for every serious marketer (including his online interviews for Clayton Makepeace, AWAI, Michel Fortin, Bob Serling, Perry Marshall and Rich Schefren, of “The Marketing Manifesto” fame).

More important: Even when John isn’t at a seminar, other speakers frequently praise his teaching abilities, and defer to his expertise at crafting killer sales copy. He is a central character in the amazing explosion of online business, responsible for many innovations and famous for helping a host of top marketers get started with his brutal, real-world “kick ass” advice and specific advertising makeovers.
