A disgruntled copywriter wrote me demanding clarifications. He believes most copywriters lie and exaggerate their claims of wealth. Let’s call him “Chuck.”

I understand where Chuck is coming from. Because I’ve been where he is. So I responded, not because I wanted to acquiesce to his demands but because I wanted to give him hope, ideas, and, dare I say it, a million-dollar education.

He says he will be asking other copywriters the same question, and even threatened (although, that may be too harsh of a word) to publish my reply.

For all I know, this copywriter may be gathering information to create his own product. Who knows? (If he is, I must say that his strategy is brilliant. And if he does create a product out of this, good for him!)

I’m reprinting the conversation here since I believe it will help a lot of other struggling copywriters out there. Also, I’m opening myself a little more than usual. I guess you can say that I’m exposing the real “Michel Fortin.”

My answer might surprise you…

I have been crazy-busy getting our newest product ready. It’s an all-in-one membership site that shows you how to create a moneymaking business online in just four steps.

We call it “Success Chef University.”

It covers everything. Every business model, traffic type, and marketing strategy. But do you know which ones you really need and why? What about outsourcing any of it?

Like following a recipe, you need to use the right ingredients in the right order. Success Chef simplifies it all for you with step-by-step video tutorials.

Success Chef is still in the pre-launch phase. However, we decided to invite you to join right now — long before we do launch — with a massive discount.

Limited to the next 50 individuals only.

The salesletter is also interactive, too. We’ve also recorded a special hour-long video to help you. That video is an education in itself! In it, we share those four simple steps to generating income on the Internet.

Check it out if just for the learning experience.

You’ve probably heard the quote from Calvin Coolidge: “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.” Well, today, I learned about someone I already know and admire, who certainly embodies this trait.

Her name is Ladan Lashkari. She is a reader of this blog, and she even listed it as being one of her favorites. But when I learned her story, I was truly humbled.

The story was written by Eric Holmlund. His blog, “Eric’s Tips,” is another blog I highly recommend. As you shall soon find out, he wrote a piece that’s so amazing and inspirational, that I had to tell you about it, with Eric’s gracious permission. (And once you read it, you’ll be amazed like I am by how powerful Ladan’s story really is.)

If you think you have limitations in your life stopping you from achieving success, take some time to read about this woman’s limitations. Her story is not only captivating, it’s awe-inspiring in so many ways.

So without further ado…

John Chow recently posted a call to moneymaking British-Columbia bloggers for a newspaper interview in his province. (Too bad it’s not about Canadian bloggers, since I’m in Ottawa, Ontario, and I would have loved the extra publicity).

Nevertheless, this is an interesting topic I wanted to cover in this blog because a lot of people are asking about it. In fact, we discussed it on a call with Clayton Makepeace, entitled “Blogging For Dollars.” People raved so much about the call that they’ve begged Clayton for a second one. (And yes, by popular demand, we’re doing one in March, so stay tuned!)

But let me share, however, some of the things we discussed on the call — along with a few tidbits on how you can make money with a blog.
