‘The most successful letter I wrote…and one of the shortest at two pages of A4…has pulled in over £5 Million so far, and it’s still coming in. I wrote that one way back in 1998 – in an afternoon!’
– John Harrison Streetwise Publications
There is a saying…
You Are One Letter From Retirement…
…and it’s true.
But unless you understand what kind of letters the saying is referring to, you could be mistaken in thinking that it’s nothing more than a load of old bunkum.
Seriously?
How can anyone make a lot of money writing letters?
Well I am here to tell you that it isn’t bunkum it isn’t bunkum, it is true.
Writing letters can in fact, make an incredible amount of money and help you to retire early with more money than you believe is possible.
Wealth Is In The Words
Why The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword
The letters in question are not ones you send to your gran, no, these are the ones which people will pay several thousands of pounds to have written.
Sometimes tens of thousands of pounds. And in some cases, the writers of these specific letters will be paid an ongoing percentage of the sales, which have resulted in hundreds of thousands of pounds, and at times, millions of pounds for the writer.
The letters which I am referring to, are sales letters.

One Letter From Retirement
Writing sales letters and sales copy DOES NOT require a lot of skill.
At least, nothing which you cannot easily learn from other people.
As long as you can talk and write in good – yet basic English, then you can become a well paid sales letter writer.
In fact, it pays more if you are not an English professor or literature mastermind.
The majority of sales letters need to communicate with the general public and so they need to be written in basic conversational English.
Sales letters are not trying to win awards for literature or be listed on a Best Sellers List. The writers are not out for status or awards, they want results, planned results.
They write their sales letters to make money. Either directly from the sales letter or indirectly further down a funnel which the sales letter has sent a reader.
Sales letters are written in a way which excites the reader to take action. That action could be to:
- Buy a product
- Sign up for a free product or service.
- Join a newsletter.
- Make a phone call or contact someone.
- Hire a person or service.
Directly or indirectly, the sales letter is written to generate money. They are designed to get a result. The more results the better.
Using tried and tested principles like A.I.D.A, or the new improved A.I.D.P.A as I prefer to use, the sales letter writer can generate thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions in sales.
One letter can generate enough money for the average person to retire from their job… several times over.
The best copywriters can charge up to £30,000 to write one sales letter for a client… sometimes more.
If the product the client is selling is a high ticket item and is expected to earn hundreds of thousands or even over a million in sales off the back of a strong sales letter, the client would not think twice about paying a copywriter the same amount of money for one sales letter which an average worker would earn in one full year of employment.
A sales letter can take as little as a day to write, sometimes less. But, if there is research required, maybe a week or two…it all depends on what you are selling, who you are selling too and what the client wants.
But who would seriously complain at doing a couple of week’s work for the equivalent of a year’s wage?
You could work a couple of weeks and take the rest of the year off.
That would be nice wouldn’t it?
Or, you could write one or two letters each month, working no more than a week in total and have the rest of the time off. Writing 12 – 24 letters a year would certainly fill your bank account up nicely.
If those sales letters also paid you a percentage of the sales, or were for your own products, you could be earning a semi-passive income throughout the time you are not working.
There are several copywriters who specialise in writing sales letters for specific industries using templates charging £1,000 – £5,000 per sales letter. Because they know the industry inside out, they know the audience they are targeting, and using specific templates, they are able to write a sales letter in a day or two.
They then take the rest of the month off… if they chose to. They earn 2 to 3 times the average monthly wage in less than a week… and still have 3 weeks off. This really is a freedom skill.
One which can easily have you retired faster than any other job. As stated earlier, you are only…

One Letter Away From Retirement
Let me be frank here, writing sales copy isn’t hard. If I can do it, so can you. Anyone who takes the time to learn the basics can write seriously profitable sales letters.
I personally have had no training to be a copywriter, I simply read and write. I read sales letters and books written by other sales letter writers and I then write.
I write sales letters.
Every new sales letter I write strengthens my skills and reinforces my knowledge.
But, until I started to learn and practice, I didn’t know how to write a sales letter. I didn’t know how to sell a sausage let alone a course worth thousands of pounds.
But I do now.
And so will you.
Everything is learnable, and that is something which we want to pass on to you.

The Pen Really Is Mightier Than The Sword…
When robbers and highwaymen looted carriages and stole from the wealthy, they never reached the level of wealth of popular writers, newspaper publishers or book publishing companies.
How could they?
They pulled out guns and swords and stole, but once they had spent that money they were poor again. They had to go out and steal more money, all the while keeping a watchful eye over their shoulders for the long arm of the law… which in those days often resulted in a dangerous beating as well as being sent to the ye olde gaol.
Wealth Is In The Words
Publishers and writers on the other hand, were rolling in money. They were earning money even when they were not working. While sleeping, while out dining and socialising, and while resting with their feet up, writers and publishers were earning money.
Unlike authors and traditional book writers, copywriters and sales letter writers can write a letter in a day or two which can keep earning them thousands of pounds many years later.
Dan Kennedy wrote one sales letter which has generated him over a million dollars in commissions. The letter probably took him no more than a week to complete, and yet, even to this day it is still earning him money.
And if you think that is impressive, read on…
‘Coming right up to date, the most recent letter, which I wrote just last week, brought in over £40,000 in the first two days after being read by less than a thousand people. I fully expect that one to bring in over £1 Million over the next two or three years.’

Writing sales letters is an incredible and hugely profitable skill.
Yes you need to have a product to sell and yes you need to get people to see your sales letter, but without the skill of writing great sales copy, you will sell diddly squat, even if you had a good product and thousands of people looking for it.
If there isn’t a great sales letter for people to read, they will not buy. They won’t know if the product you are offering is any good, whether it will change their life around, whether it will alleviate their pain and suffering, or if it is worth the money on the price tag.
Without sales letters, people won’t buy. With great sales letters, people in their hundreds and thousands will whip out their credit cards and make a purchase.
But you do not need thousands of people to buy your product to make a lot of money. If you are selling a product which is worth a few hundred pounds or even a few thousand pounds, you only need a couple of hundred sales to generate an incredible amount of money.
All made easier if you have written a compelling sales letter.
