After speaking at the Profiteers seminar in New Orleans (converted into a webinar because of hurricane Katrina), preparations are now underway to speak in Phoenix this weekend.

Because of these, and in addition to tons of copywriting projects, I haven’t had much time to write. But I did a little something I thought you might like. It’s a little gift, if you will, for you.

I posted the old yet ageless classic “Scientific Advertising” by Claude C. Hopkins on my website. For free. It’s the copywriter’s “bible.” As Olgilvy once said:

“Nobody, at any level, should be allowed to have anything to do with advertising until he has read this book seven times”
– David Ogilvy

Greg Rozsa, my friend who started HelpWithKatrina.com and who has already brought tons of supplies to the homeless in and around New Orleans (you can see pictures he took on the website), receives hate mail on a daily basis.

This breaks my heart.

But what’s worst is that his website was temporarily shut down today because of complaints. Now, I acknowledge the fact that scammers are rampant and come out of the woodwork to take advantage of situations like these. But Greg is a good man with a big heart.

And there’s something else that irks me to no end…

As you know, the New Orleans seminar at which I was supposed to speak in a few days has been cancelled. (The Hyatt Hotel has 80% of its windows blown out, let alone flooding.)

Internet marketer Greg Rosza, has set up a fund for New Orleans relief in a personal crusade to bring food and water to the region. I trust Greg as he has been a member of mine for a long time, and is a kindhearted soul.

I recommend you check it out… HelpWithKatrina.com.
