Shownotes

Where’s direct response marketing and long-form copy heading in 2021 and beyond?

Is eCom taking over?

If you want to discover some profound insights and raw truths about the past, present, and FUTURE of direct response that will open your mind WIDE...

You CAN’T miss this special bonus edition of The Road to a Billion with Stefan Georgi…

The call-in show where YOU get to ask him questions about copywriting, freelancing, relationships, scaling offers, entrepreneurship, mindset, and more!

In this episode, Stefan and co-host Ed Reay are joined by the legendary Craig Clemens.

If you don’t know Craig, he is the co-founder of Golden Hippo, America’s largest digitally native brand incubator…

Which, under his leadership, went from zero to over 800 employees and became one of the fastest-growing companies in the USA (their brands include Gundry MD, amongst many others)...

And he’s also one of the most successful direct response copywriters of all time, having written many of the biggest digital ad campaigns in history and generating hundreds of millions of video views and upwards of $1B in sales.

Here’s a glimpse of the insanely valuable insights you are about to discover:

• The ONE element of copy Eben Pagan had Craig focus on when he started writing, that made ALL the difference in Craig’s career (most copywriters nowadays are missing this chunk of the learning!)

•4 MUST-HAVES before launching your own offer in the health space in 2021 (sorry, but this is probably not what you wanted to hear...)

• How Craig raised $1.5 MM in a month for a charity leveraging BitClout (and some insider secrets on how YOU can profit from it!)

How can you be the NEXT person to be featured in an episode and get YOUR questions answered too?

“The Road to a Billion” Radio Show airs Thursdays at 10 am PST…
