    The Surprising Truth About Learning Copywriting

    11/05/2026 | 31min
    Think about these two things:
    First, learning to write copy, and
    Second, then actually writing it.
    Wouldn’t it be nice if those two things, learning to write copy and then doing it, were free of confusion, anxiety, and terror?
    That was the burning question that started me on the path of mentoring copywriters. I wanted to make it happen. Because early on, I had such a rough time learning myself.
    Learning copywriting was so different from anything I had ever done that it seemed it didn’t matter what I had done before.
    Anyway, after all this time I’ve gotten pretty good at teaching other people to write copy. And that was after having hit a fair number of home runs with copy I had written myself.
    I haven’t eliminated confusion, anxiety and terror altogether, but I’ve reduced them by A LOT.
    And then, along came AI. Problems anew.
    AI can make things better or worse, depending on what you know and what you know how to do.
    What do you need to understand that is largely misunderstood out there (which is why we have so many ineffective copywriters)?
    I can tell you today with absolute certainty.
    RESOURCES
    This is very affordable, if you’re not in a place to make a significant investment in your copywriting education, no matter how much you need it.
    It’s entirely digital, but with a twist. It was originally a group-coaching product, and there’s a progressive set of exercises everyone does.
    They’ve retained the feedback the coaches to the same exercises you’ll be doing. There’s also AI advice with each lesson. The coaches include Dr. Harlan Kilstein, Kevin Rogers, Chris Haddad, and me! It’s John Carlton’s Simple Writing System. Here’s my affiliate link:

    The other option is to book a Copy Reset Session with me. We’ll go over a piece of copy, and I’ll critique it for you. Tell youwhat strengths and weaknesses I see. Including in the headline/hook or lead, intrigue and curiosity, easy and clear call to action, use of images and other sensory details, and stories.
    I’ll tell you how to improve the copy and make specific suggestions you can use right away.
    We can also look at your positioning or USP. I’ll let you know any quick fixes you can make, as well as suggest long-term structural changes.
    And, for you to use at no additional cost forever, I’ll give you a custom GPT to review your copy. It will give you a detailed review, with suggestions. I’ve used a similar GPT for my own work.
    The fee for this session, which we’ll record and you’ll get full access to the recording for your own private use, is 5% of what you’d pay for a year of coaching with me. So it’s an investment, but it’s a very affordable one if you’re serious about your copy.
    Just send me an email if you’re interested and we can discuss if and see if this is a fit for you. I’ll put my email address in the show notes. It’s david@davidgarfinkel . com

    We’ll be talking about the last seven fundamentals.
    And if that little voice in your head is asking, “What the heck are we doing reviewing fundamentals?!”, let me remind you of what basketball legend Michael Jordan said: “Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.”
    It’s so easy to get caught up in the latest new new thing. But a dedication to fundamentals is what helps you get what you really want.
    So that’s what we’ll cover today.

    10 Direct Marketing Trends, With Super Copywriter Mike Pavlish

    27/04/2026 | 29min
    Our returning champion Mike Pavlish has written dozens of VSLs that have brought in $10 million or more. In fact, over the last 30 years, Mike’s copy has brought in over $810 million in sales.
    And his work is still bringing in the big bucks today.
    How good is Mike? On his website he’s got testimonials from legends like Gary Bencivenga and Bob Bly. But this one from an eye doctor named David Tavel, who has 24 clinics across Indiana, really stood out to me:
    “Your copywriting pulled two to one compared to a big New York ad agency. I have been in business for 45 years and this is the best response ever. The results speak for themselves.”
    Recently, Mike sent out an email that started out this way:
    I've been in direct response for over 30 years.
    I've written over $810 million in sales.
    I've seen a lot of trends come and go.
    But what's happening right now is different.
    The speed of change is like nothing I've everseen.
    Here are the trends I think every directmarketer needs to watch.
    I asked Mike to come back on the podcast to talk about these trends.
    A few days later one of our subscribers who lives in Spain, Norm MacLeod, asked me to invite Mike as well!
    Mike graciously agreed, and we’ll get to those trends today.

    New Mindset For Copywriting

    20/04/2026 | 32min
    We’re going through massive and disruptive upheavals all over the place, and of course copywriting is no exception.
    I’m seeing the need for a complete mindset shift to survive, thrive and even dominate in copywriting.
    It’s curious to me that the mindset shift is a return to the garden. I know that phrase means a lot of things, depending upon your background.
    What I mean by a return to the garden is, going back to basics. From the first glimmers of online marketing to the original Facebook analytics and now the unstoppable march forward of AI… ironically, all the non-human things those advances caused are being stripped away from the copy that gets results.
    What stands out is genuine human messaging, just like in a store or at a bar or at a Starbacks, one person talking to another. These days, more than anything else, that’s what works.
    With everything that’s happened, we need to make a conscious shift in mindset to get back to the garden and write the kind of copy that was working before all this technological intrusion started and messed things up.
    And that’s what I want to talk about today. Listen closely–it will make a big difference for you.
    If you’d like help shifting to this new mindset and developing the skills to go with it, check out my coaching program:

    Copywriting 101, Part 3– Old Masters Series

    13/04/2026 | 29min
    As we return to our hit Old Masters Series segment, Copywriting 101, I’d like to let you know that the first edition of John Caples’s book Tested Advertising Methods was published in 1932–that’s 94 years ago!
    Caples updated the book more than once over the decades–the last edition was published in 1998.
    But the interesting thing is, over that 60 plus year span, the fundamentals remained the same. And they haven’t changed in the last 30 years, either.
    Just in the same way that storytellers still refer to Aristotle and scientists and engineers still depend on Newton’s three laws of motion, copywriters can reliably depend on the fundamentals Caples laid out.
    We are going to explore six more of them today.
    And if a little voice in your head is asking, “What the heck are we doing reviewing fundamentals?!”, let me remind you of what basketball legend Michael Jordan said: “Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.”
