With an experience of more than two decades in direct marketing and copywriting, Michel Fortin is one of the most respected copywriters in the internet world today. Be it online business, offline business, or a business set up as a mix of both the paradigms, Michel has all that it takes to grab the reader’s attention and convert defunct businesses into the hottest selling sagas of all time.

More than anything else, the results achieved by Michel speak up for the astounding capabilities that he possesses as a marketer. Sales letter written by him are said to have piled up billions of dollars worth of revenue in the last few years. Just last year, one of his sales letters had generated sales worth $1.08 million during the first days of the release itself. A few days later, another sales letter generated an astounding sales figure of $1.04 million for Michel’s clients on the very first day of the release. The most interesting thing about both these sales letters is that both the letters were written for products that had nothing in common and yet, due to the inborn knack of persuasive writing, Michel did wonders with both the sales letters.
His company, “SuccessDoctor” has a wide array of clients under its fold. One of the most phenomenal aspects that Michel boasts of is the fact, that at one point in time, he was himself struggling with his business. His own journey from a starving failure to a success doctor is a commendable one.

His clients consider him someone who knows how to turn businesses with dwindling revenues to cash rich machines, within a matter of a few persuasive writings.
So what is it about his writing that guarantees results? Well, first of all, the results that he has achieved thus far speak up for him and secondly, he tests and mathematically documents his strategies and ensures that his conversion tricks and tips are scientifically backed- thus giving some substance to his writing and persuasive skills.
Dave Taylor
One of the most authentic internet marketers to have grown in magnanimity over the years has been Dave Taylor. Being a graduate in computer science as the major subject of focus and philosophy as the minor subject from University of California, Dave had one of the deadliest academic combos there is. He used his academic knowledge to the fullest in achieving his marketing and sales goals. Initially employed at HP’s RnD labs, Dave spent his early career doing research in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and in developing HP’s Unix based mail clients systems.
During the later half of the 80s, Dave went on to launch Intuitive systems, which was a techno-consultancy firm and Dave is still in charge of the firm. His business is going strong, even today, with an ultra-impressive client portfolio. Having penned down some of the most informative and enlightening books, papers and journals as a part of his freelance gigs, Dave has now become one of the most respected technical writers around. He has many titles to his name- “HP Chronicles”, “Tech World”, “Info world” and his world famous first book – “Global software”.
Dave’s major online stint was the launch of The Internet Mall. He had started this venture in partnership with two other people in the Silicon Valley during the time the Dot Com boom was gaining strength. His business soon reached the $1 million mark and was later sold to TechWave- a Seattle based company. After selling off his online business, Dave got back to text writing and wrote one of the most famous Unix titles to have been made till date- Teach yourself Unix in 24 hours.
After creating some more successful online ventures, Dave got into the world of consultancy again. He understood his strengths and realized that his main strengths were his expertise in various fields and experience. Therefore, rather than starting his own ventures and selling them, he opened his own consultancy firm- Growing Ventures. Going on from there, Dave has started two recent ventures- AnswerSquad and ClickThroughSquad- both internet based sites, with the former aimed at providing authentic answers to all your tech related queries and the latter serving as a unique link between e-mail and some other services.
Besides, there are some other works in the pipeline (AskDaveTaylor and IntuitiveTalk being two of the most sought after ones). Dave, with all his experience in the field of marketing, technical writing and Internet Product promotion is definitely on of the most revered veterans of online money making.
Frank Kern
Frank Kern is probably the most popular internet entrepreneur of our time. Not only is he filthy rich, he proclaims to have done that by being lazy. Most people can relate to him and his styles of working and therefore, he is nothing less than a revolution in the offline (as well as online) world. After being mighty upset over the fact that he was always cribbed at for being lazy and for not working his ass up, Frank decided to combine his laziness with his intriguing marketing skills and prompt sense of humor to build an internet empire like none other.
Frank Kern can be proclaimed to be the man to have struck a fortune by capitalizing on his quality (or shortcoming) of being a lazy underachiever. The whole idea of doing nothing and still being able to mint money in tonnes is what attracts a huge audience to the courses and lectures given by him- his main stream of income.
Frank’s story of being filthy rich is no usual tale. He had dropped out of the college to tread on the path of riches. He did this, not because he wasn’t good at studies, but because he wanted to prove to the world that a college degree is not important for someone to strike gold. It was in 1999 that Frank tasted the essence of internet marketing, and has stuck onto it since then.
The Underachiever Mystery course is that very course that is said to have brought real riches to Frank and his team. The way he calls himself a lazy bastard teaching ways of maximizing profits while minimizing the efforts needed to do it, has set this course apart from the regular humdrum of the internet world. The course was sold out within a short span of being launched. It’s been a long time since the course has been defunct now, but even today, excerpts from the course can be seen quoted at various marketing sites and conferences- such was the popularity of the underachiever mystery.
Frank has mastered the art of language and it shows in his latest course- Mass control. Making drastic advances, the course highlights the art of pitching one’s sales effectively. The course, obviously, has Frank’s trademark humor. Apart from successful courses, Frank is the owner of a network of blogs, niche sites and has a profound internet social network- all that is needed to mint money out of the internet effectively and lazily.
Mike Filsaime
If being a software engineer, author, business speaker and marketer, all at one time, is not enough to set one man apart from the crowd, then the mere fact that his company did sales of over 10 million Dollars in 2008 make Mike Filsaime a mini-prodigy in himself. Starting out as a General Manager with one of America’s leading auto dealers, Mike had gained considerable experience in marketing. Besides, having a degree in Computer Sciences and Business Administration from the New York Institute of Technology give Mike a whole gamut of technical verticals that he can advice people on.
Be it understanding of advertisement, sales, customer service or technical aspects of a business, Mike Filsaime is never short of ideas- and this is precisely the reason why his website has one of the most diversified client base in the States.
Opening his services to the public using the immense power of internet, Mike Filsaime’s extensive knowledge of business principles coupled with his intriguing ways of using the internet as a tool to generate incomes in autopilot mode have seen him scale high skies in a short span of time. After having trained some of the leading executives, salesmen and trainers in the auto industry, Mike decided to diversify and offer his business plans and lessons to the general public in a manner that makes the fundamentals more retentive in their minds.
Mike’s students have gone on to become millionaires and have blogged and wrote extensively about how Mike Filsaime’s lessons had helped them quit their day jobs and become full time internet entrepreneurs.
Attributing his success to his mentor- Rich Schefen, Mike is a vivid learner himself. Continuous studies about the latest in the world of marketing and developing new ideas, plans and implementations of the latest theories is what Mike is best at. Incorporating the most cutting edge marketing fundamentals in his Internet Marketing programs has seen Mike’s popularity rating sore up in recent years. From 2005 through to mid 2007, it can be safely assumed that Mike was the most revered speaker on the subject of internet marketing.
Having attended more than 75 conferences in the span of those two years, Mike had (and is still doing it) developed a loyal readership base. Mike has followers in countries such as the UK, UAE, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia apart from the United States. From the way his popularity is soaring with each passing day, it is imminent that Mike’s name would be engraved in golden letters in the internet marketer’s wall of fame.
Daniel Turner
Daniel Turner along with his business partner Marc Lindsay, is known to be the man behind PLRPro; the online content management and optimization system that not only provides huge volumes of content almost instantaneously to populate sites, but the system also ensures that the content is free from errors and highly optimized towards better search engine results. The need for quality content for their niche sites had led Daniel and Marc into considering an idea of setting up their own content empire.
The idea was born in April 2006 and has come a long way since its inception. The mere thought of getting their sites populated with hoards of articles at the click of a button, get the clients into opting in for the system. The system does exactly that. With a few steps to follow, you would be able to populate your site with 400+ English articles and 3500+ articles, rewritten in eight foreign languages. All this comes at a price less than the price you would pay for a parking ticket.
We all know that PLR content can be posted on the site as it is and that duplicate content is highly penalized by search engines, especially Google. Faced with the problem of maintaining exclusivity and still being able to sell PLR content for a relatively cost-effective price, Daniel came out with a master idea- of dividing his entire customer base into smaller groups. Each group has not more than 200 people in it and the system is so designed that it supplies content on a specific niche only to a particular group.
That is, only 200 people can have the same set of 4,000 odd articles on the same niche. This number is still low and therefore, catches the attention of the customers more than anything else. The idea of having cheap PLR content and being sure of the fact that the content is relatively less saturated among clients is what sets the PLRPro apart from all other systems offering PLR articles.
Daniel Turner is a man with a strong conviction, that success in online ventures can be directly linked to offline marketing mantras. Having achieved considerable success in many offline ventures, Daniel’ successful stints in the online world are proving to be great testimonials of his convictions. With a great team in place, an understanding business partner and a system like none other on the internet, Daniel, Marc and PLRPro are all set to scale unimaginable heights.
Daniel Levis
Possessing an in-depth knowledge of internet product branding/development, great copywriting and internet marketing strategies makes Daniel Levis one of the most sought after consultants online (and offline as well). A lover of hiking, Daniel is based in Toronto Canada. Attributed as being one of the top most copywriters in the world today, Daniel is known the world over for his utterly popular volume- Masters of Copywriting. The book features 44 of the most renowned copywriters, their secrets and their styles. Some of the most famous copywriters featured in the book include Joe Sugarman, Clayton Makepeace and Joe Vitale.
Daniel Levis is known for his expertise in web conversion. Web conversion is the practice of converting your visitors into actual buyers who end up buying a product from your site- which, in essence, is the underlying principle of all Internet Marketing techniques, be it affiliate marketing, advertisements or any other form of PPA (Paid Per Action) plan. Having documented his selling wisdom in the 5R system, Daniel Levis has generated thousands of loyal subscribers- who not only give him a patient readership, but also serve as word of mouth mascots for his services.
Known as an intensive researcher, Daniel is known to have come a long way in a very short span of time. It is said that within 18 months of finishing his first copywriting job, Daniel had tripled his fee and quadrupled his client base. An extensive research, coupled with an amazing knowledge of consumer psyche has seen Daniel’s clients mint amazing profits. Some of his clients have known to skyrocketed their sales to almost 5 times. It is because of his commendable feats as a copywriter, that his clients are willing to pay Daniel a fee of $18,000+ for a single promotion copy!
Daniel prefers to be known for his direct response copywriting skills than anything else. He is generous enough to accept that he has learnt a lot from some of his predecessors and goes the distance in ensuring that his clients get what they pay for. Daniel has also teemed up with several other copywriters to produce marketing masterpieces. One of the most profitable Joint Ventures that Daniel had hooked himself to was co-authoring the book “Million Dollar Online Advertising Strategies – From The Greatest Letter Writer Of The 20th Century!” with Joe Vitale. This Book was Daniel’s tribute to late Robert Collier, who is seen as one of the best copywriters of all time by most marketing gurus around the world.
Marc Lindsay
Marc Lindsay and his long standing friend and business partner Daniel Turner have been the men behind the one of its kind online system- the PLRPro. Being in the navy, Marc needed a break and when he came in contact with Daniel- a PPC consultant, back in 2006, they decided to launch their services in conglomeration with each other. Marc’s journey from being a Navy man to being an internet wizard was not a well-defined one.
Initially, he made a number of niche sites and soon, in partnership with Daniel, he was able to earn enough money to sustain and leave his day job. It was after getting into Internet Marketing full time that he decided to launch his own system. Also known as Project Green Button, PLRPro is said to have generated an unprecedented response for Marc- both in terms of revenues as well and readership and subscriber base.
So, what is it that sets PLRPro apart? Well, the way they manage and provide content and optimize it such that the niche is neither overpopulated nor lowly ranked in search engine listings is the underlying principle that sets the system apart. They divide their subscriber base in to groups, with each group having not more than 200 members at any given point in time. This number is chosen in order to ensure that the niche is not saturated.
Each group gets PLR articles on a specific niche, which would be unique to only that particular group. So, in essence, only 200 people would get the same PLR articles (which can be modified to make them unique, or put on their websites as-is). Another set of PLR articles would be given to another group of 200 people and so on, maintaining a considerable amount of exclusivity.
After working out the mathematics, each person that is a part of the program, get 440 articles in the English language. All these 440 articles are converted to eight different foreign languages (amounting to an additional 3500+ articles). All these articles are highly optimized for the best search engine ratings and apart from the articles, the subscribers get a hoard of freebies including free WP blog installation, free web hosting, an awesome customer support service, tailor made banners in concordance with the niche and other free software that might be deemed necessary from time to time.
The complete master plan, as laid down by Marc Lindsay, followed up with exemplifying graphics, quality assurance and great customer support should see Marc skyrocketing further to success in the coming few years.
Perry Marshall
Known as the “King of Google AdWords”, this Chicago based consultant is one of the most authoritative and a legitimate source of driving authentic organic traffic to a website using Google’s advertising services. Perry Marshall is your one stop shop for getting access to the world of internet advertising. With a first hand expertise in fetching legitimate search engine traffic using Google AdWords, Perry and his compatriots are said to generate more than a billion clicks a month- this being an estimate on the lower side.

This company was later sold at $18 million, the following year- a manifold rise.
What sets Perry apart is the fact that he not only has a knack of finding the best keywords and writing one of the best copywriting pages, but he also has adequate technical expertise to understand how systems actually work. His writing prowess combined with the engineering degree held by him, set him apart from the crowd of Internet Marketers posing as gurus online.
Perry prefers to be seen as an author, more than any other title that people associate with him. After having published scores of articles, journals and Press Releases in the field of Google AdWords and some technical chapters, Perry is seen as one of the most versatile and wide-ranged internet authors of modern era. The Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords and Guerilla Marketing for Hi-Tech Professionals are two of his best selling titles. While the former book is all about cost effective marketing using Google’s services, the latter title is oriented more towards the use of internet and other growing technologies in marketing and reaching out to the millions hooked on to the net at any given point in time.
Helping his clients in developing automated solutions for marketing and being good at it has made Perry Marshall and Associated stand up and stand apart as a company.

Thankfully, he kept his persistent self going and today he is referred to as the “World’s #1 affiliate”.

After striking gold with affiliate marketing, he taught a number of close accomplices to earn money off the internet. It was during one of his lectures to a close family friend, that Mark was given the idea of developing his own course based on affiliate marketing secrets that he had gathered after spending all those years in the trade.
