Top 10 copywriting books

Super quick email today.

You want to know how to beat 99% of new copywriters?

To be in the top 1%?

It’s really quite simple.

Most new copywriters don’t have the discipline or determination to get in the books.

(To learn the fundamentals from the copy OGs.)

The thing is - most ONLY learn from YouTube gurus who may (or may not) have gotten results as a copywriter.

So, if you want to guarantee you’re learning from the best copywriters in the world…

Then do your due diligence and learn from the greats — millionaire copywriters proven to have sold hundreds of millions (and even billions like Gary Halbert).

I’ve read all these books below — and they’re a MAJOR reason I became a six-figure copywriter in just 12 months and have earned over $550,000 in profit over the past few years.

Here are my top 10 books (in no order).

Read them all this year if you’re serious about earning $5,000-$10,000/month:

Copywriting Secrets by Jim Edwards (newest addition to my list)

The Boron Letters by Gary Halbert

The Adweek Copywriting Handbook by Joseph Sugarman

Ogilvy on Advertising by David Ogilvy

Cashvertising by Drew Eric Whitman

Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins

Influence by Robert Cialdini

The Ultimate Sales Letter by Dan Kennedy

Breakthrough Copywriting by David Garfinkel

The Copywriter’s Handbook by Bob Bly

That’s it.

My top 10.

Sure, there are dozens of other incredible copy books.

But these will give you an incredible baseline.

If you want to make $10k/month as a copywriter, don’t skip steps.

Buy them. Find them. Borrow them. Do whatever you can to get them.

And then? Read them.

And if you prefer listening, several come as audiobooks.
