Or maybe you’ve been watching my students, marveling at their success as new copywriters, infopreneurs, coaches, and Internet marketers.

Listen to what Barbara has to say...
The Medical Strategist, Palm Beach, FL
At the center of my program is the acclaimed 24-session course, the Marlow Marketing Method™ for Copywriters. This intensive course has produced more successful copywriters than any other coaching resource on the market, and it’s been doing so for almost a decade!
You see, most new copywriters are on a path to get established quickly and earn as much as they can by working for clients. This is the safest and most lucrative path to freelance self-sufficiency.
Once my copywriters get a safe footing, they often want to expand their business in other ways. Because I have the experience and success of eight profit centers (copywriting, coaching, info-products, teleseminars, workshops, speaking, consulting, and affiliate sales), I can guide them safely and profitably in the right direction.
"Chris Marlow's coaching helped me build a solid foundation and clear direction for my business when I had lost focus and was floundering. Listen to my audio testimony for more details."

What about you? What’s your freelance dream? Do you long to work from any location in the world? Maybe just working from home would be a welcome new lifestyle. Or perhaps you recognize — as I did some 20 years ago — that knowing how to write copy and market well is the key to success in any business.
Whatever your reason for being here right now, please know that you are at exactly the same place thousands of other copywriters have been before you. Many made the leap, and some are now "gurus" in their fields, with coaching, information products, and workshops as additional sources of income.
For most copywriters, it all starts with my program for getting clients. And not just any clients. GREAT clients. Because most new copywriters get stuck at the bottom, working for the low hanging fruit.
I’m going to let you in on some statistics, right from one of the modules in my coaching program. The Pyramid Chart below clearly illustrates why it’s so easy to wind up working for the least desirable clients in the marketplace.
About 11% of the nation's businesses are ideal targets for
copywriters, based on employee size and gross revenue.
One of the secrets of successful freelancing is knowing who to target for business. And as the Pyramid Chart shows, of nearly 13 million U.S. businesses, only 1.3 million fall within the "sweet spot" for copywriters.
The largest companies generally are not ideal for freelance copywriters because they're large enough to hire full time employees or agencies for copywriting work.
Companies with up to 19 employees are poor prospects for the opposite reason: very often they don't have enough money to pay a copywriter what they’re worth, and rarely enough money to pay a copywriter on an ongoing basis.
Therefore it’s imperative to target correctly, and to "dress" appropriately, meaning that you must "look" a certain way in order to get the positive attention of a mid-size company with a sophisticated marketing department.
And that’s what the Get Great Clients program does for you… it helps you find the niche that’s right for you, brand you, set you up with marketing materials and a website that will do the selling for you, and provide you with the means to collect high-quality, high-value leads that convert into happy, clients who pay you what you're work is worth, and who value you for the long term!
Listen to what Patty Reagin has to say, and how quickly she landed clients after the course...
Medical Industry Copywriter, Black Hawk, CO
Speaking of niches, no one knows niches for copywriters better than I do!
Forgive me if I sound like I’m bragging... I’m really not, but you need to know this. I've worked in dozens of niches myself and since 2003 I've placed hundreds of copywriters in niches that are perfect for them... and in some cases I've even "invented" niches to suit a student's complex combination of skills, talent, and desires. No one knows the niches for copywriters better than I do!
In 2008 I presented my Niche Detective School workshop at the AWAI Bootcamp and received a standing ovation from hundreds of copywriters. With my proprietary system for matching your talents, goals and passions with the niche that’s right for you, you can finally get some traction in building your business.
So quit worrying about finding your niche... We'll find it together, I promise.
(And even if you don’t go through my course, remember that as a consultant, I can still help you find your niche or solve any other marketing, career planning, or positioning problem in coaching that's customized to your needs!)
When you sign up for the Get Great Clients program, you learn what your
clients want you to know
On the face of it, you might think that what you’ll learn in the Marlow Marketing Method™ for Copywriters online course is how to land quality clients… and you’d be right.
But guess what? You’re also learning "marketing 101" for lead-generation. The value here is inestimable, because your clients need leads (especially in business-to-business marketing) — and when they see from your own marketing that you’re a lead-gen sophisticate, they’re much more likely to hire you.
After all, your own marketing materials offer undisputed proof that you know what you’re doing. Plus, when you graduate from the Marlow Marketing Method™ for Copywriters Get Great Clients program, you’ll earn a digital Certificate of Completion that you’ve completed an intensive course on "advanced lead generation."
Most graduate students display the Certificate on their website; the Certificate — along with what the client can see from your actual marketing — is proof that you know how to get leads for yourself, and your client.
In fact, you’ll learn how to target a market, create a unique positioning, build a list, design appropriate branding, build a lead-gen website, craft an irresistible offer, create short- and long-term marketing strategies, conduct lead-generating campaigns, and close the sale — all more than what a client would ask you to do, but all necessary to your understanding of what to do! In short, you learn how to become a sophisticated marketer yourself.
(And here’s a secret: some of my students aren’t copywriters at all, but are business owners who recognize that this program can teach them how to bring in business!)
"I completed Chris’ 'How to Get Great Clients' coaching program recently, and highly recommend it to all copywriters just starting out or struggling to get their business going. The knowledge, insight, and advice Chris provided throughout the four-month course was invaluable. The materials were very thorough…the equivalent of a crash college course on marketing! I couldn’t have started my freelance business without this course. Thank you, Chris!"

You can perfect your copywriting skills
in this program
Not everyone who applies is accepted into this course. I don’t teach entry-level copywriting so your copywriting skill must be such that you are marketable. We don’t take students who will have a hard time making it in this business.
But this program forces you to perfect your copywriting because quality clients expect flawless copy. So throughout the program every word you write and every sentence you craft is gone over with a fine-tooth comb.
There cannot be a choppy sentence, fuzzy thinking, dull paragraph, erroneous punctuation, or — horrors! — a single inconsistency in all of your marketing. In this program the coach works as hard as you do, giving valuable feedback and learning on your copy. Because this is what it takes to work with the high-quality, high-value clients: a level of professionalism that’s a real cut above.
And in fact, I have worked with my students — when they have actual paying work — to show them how to create controls (marketing pieces that can’t be beat). I can do the same for you if the opportunity presents itself. This is outside of the Get Great Clients program but illustrates my commitment to making you a successful copywriter by doing whatever it takes.
You have ongoing support
Even when you’ve completed the Marlow Marketing Method™ for Copywriters client acquisition program, I’m here for you… and so are your fellow graduates. The Coffee Klatch — a twice monthly Group Coaching for grads only — keeps you on track to land the five golden clients who will make your career.
In these sessions we role play follow-up calls, learn about "benefit statements" that can close the sale, get educated on pricing a job, and conduct other structured learnings that are 100% focused on landing clients.
When you become one of my coaching students, it’s impossible to fail… unless you don’t show up at all. After all these years helping copywriters achieve their dreams, I’m not about to stop with you. My program may not be quick, easy, or cheap. But you know you’re getting what you came for… and that is success as a copywriter.
One year from now… where will you be?
I have a confession to make, and that is that I didn’t start college until I was 25. I remember vacillating because I felt "too old." But then I read a magazine article on the very subject that said, "If you don’t go to college now, where will you be four years from now?" And the answer was, "Right where you are right now!"
So I went to the university, graduated with a BA in English, sold some journalistic articles, and then discovered copywriting. It took me five years to start my copywriting career and five more to get quality clients. But with my help and guidance, you can do it in six months to one year.
So what would you like your life to look like 12 months from now? In that short window of time — which will speed by before you know it — you could have all of your marketing set and the five golden clients who will make your career! All you need is someone who is willing to take the time and is fully committed to your success. And that someone is me.
Transport yourself to the future…
Go ahead. Imagine what your new life will look like. It might look a lot like mine did this week. Landed a new client whose product is exciting and revolutionary… helped two students price new jobs, cashed an affiliate check for $1,200… wrote marketing copy for my new course on hypnotherapy… all while taking breaks to paint my paintings, practice my hypnotherapy, and hike in the nearby mountains.
You can make a lot of money as a copywriter, or turn the dial down and make a great income by working part time. It’s your choice, and I can show you how.
Enjoy state-of-the-art learning
Students of the Marlow Marketing Method for Copywriters rave about the rich content of this program, and the ease of learning. For those who learn by listening, each module has an audio component whose content is not the same as the written content module. This ensures a deeper learning experience.
Plus the student completes homework from the written module, and also has one-on-one interaction with the teacher. Marlow Marketing Method for Copywriters students are successful because they learn their material thoroughly, and because the intense nature of the program allows them to become marketing experts in a relatively short period of time.
All written material is online and course assignments can be turned in through the Online Learning System. Hundreds of samples of successful student work can also be easily accessed in the online course, for invaluable guidance as you complete your homework — all of which pertain to your online and offline marketing.
Listen to what Jeff Oddo has to say... he loved this program so much he went through it twice!
Public Relations/Copywriter/Speechwriter, Lumberton, NJ
For instance, you can access USPs (Unique Selling Propositions), Professional Bios, VPs (Value Propositions), Business Forms, and copywriting Submission Formats (so your work is always accepted by the client).
You’ll find dozens of White Papers, Free Reports, Ezine Bait Pieces, an Ezine/Blog Letter sample, and copywriters Stationery.
There are dozens of samples of Branding and Sales Letter Packages, and even a full website — in HTML, Word, or PDF formats, whichever is appropriate. There’s even a list of approved designers and webmasters to help you through your business-building process!
Nowhere will you find a richer resource for building a quality copywriting business that attracts and influences the world’s most desirable clients!
You’ll be learning from a successful infopreneur (myself) who has earned over $100,000 in with just five info-products...
Do you want to earn money with information products? Most copywriters do, and some are very aggressive in this aspect of their business growth.
Sometimes I work with copywriters outside the Marlow Marketing Method program to help them build this side of their business. In fact, one of my strategies for making a copywriter a "guru" is to help them find a topic that will sell and position them as an authority.
My first information product was the Copywriters Fee & Compensation Survey, which quickly became the industry’s leading resource for pricing copywriter jobs. Creating successful products can be tricky but I can help you make this part of your business a success.
By now you may see why one of my past students calls me the "whole enchilada." It’s not just that I can expertly answer all of your marketing questions, but I can help you plan a big future — and achieve it.
When I take you as a new student, I am fully committed to you. My interest doesn’t stop when the initial coaching program is complete. In fact, the strong relationship I create with my students sometimes leads to business opportunities that we can both profit from. This is a "side benefit" of having a coaching program that consistently produces successful copywriters.
A solution for every budget
At one time there was only one way to take the world's premiere course for landing clients, and that was with a 4- to 6-month commitment and a substantial outlay.
But now that the Learning System is online and in an easy-to-access, easy-to-use, and massively time-saving format, I've been able to drop the course fee dramatically.
And in fact, I have not one but three options for you: 1) Full Course with one-on-one coaching all the way through; 2) The Home Study Course where you add one-on-one as you wish, and 3) Custom Course ("you design it" according to the Syllabus).

— Pete Savage, B2B Copywriter, London, Ontario, Canada
"I tried launching my copywriting business myself 6 months 
ago. I sent out 600 letters to marketing directors in various industries. I got only one response!
"After working with you for 3 months, I had much stronger marketing materials, a powerful USP, and a target market I felt comfortable approaching. I just sent out my first mailing and got 10 responses — a whopping 4.55% response!! I would have been happy with 1% but I'll take 4.55% any day!
Now this is the way to start a freelance career! Thanks for all your help, Chris!"
— Ed Gandia, Copywriter for the Software Industry, Marietta, GA
"As a new entrepreneur, I have found Chris Marlow's coaching invaluable. Although I was very confident in my former Marketing Communications Manager role, I sometimes feel like a fish out of water as a freelancer. Chris alleviates that feeling. Whenever I have a question, whether it's about how much to charge, what to do with a confidentiality agreement, or whether I've nailed a headline, Chris takes away the question mark.
"By working with Chris, I've significantly honed my 
USP and have built a desirable offer. I mailed my direct response package one week ago, and have already received nine responses. It's so exciting! If you'd like to fast-track your success, hire Chris. It's money well-spent."
— Heather Sloan, INfusion Marketing Communications, Inc., West Linn, OR
"Hi Chris, I dropped 300 letters yesterday before the mail went out. Today, I've received 3 (count 'em, three!) responses already! One just wanted me to fax the report, but the other two have set up meetings. I think we found my prospective clients' pain.
"I've attached a copy of the report. I look forward to hearing any feedback you have on Thursday. My meetings are Friday and Monday (so far).
"Thanks for all of your help so far."
— Stacy Fox, Copywriter for Career Colleges, Riverside, CA
"I’ve heard that the local ad community is talking about the 'big splash' I’m making with local PR and my new site... I’ve had positive feedback and interest just about every day. This is just the beginning. My site has only been live for 1 month!’
— Pam Foster, pamfostercopywriting.com,
SEO copywriter, Scarborough, ME
"Chris, what am I going to do with all this money that's headed my way? I'm beside myself with gratitude. It's been a long, hard walk, but I just kept putting one foot in front of the other.
"I can n
ever thank you enough for the help you've been, and are. You'll never know how many times I heard your voice in my mind saying, 'this is what you need to do...'
"You have done more for me than you realize, in so many areas of my life. 'Thank you' seems inadequate in proportion to the enormity of what's happening.
"More another time..."
— Pam Magnuson, Nutraceuticals Copywriter, Aloha, OR
"Chris, your marketing expertise has helped me with my branding, newsletter marketing, positioning, and so much more. Thank you for being such a wonderful resource!"
— Lori Ebeling, Ebeling Real Estate, Rancho Mirage, CA
"Chris was extremely influential in helping me land my first big client. She helped me negotiate my fee and instructed me on how to handle the meeting. After that, she critiqued my copy and helped me turn in a project my client loved. Because of this, I have since done other jobs for this client with the same results."
— Gary Carmody, Author, Fort Collins, CO
"Hi Chris, I must tell you that every time we finish a conversation, I am so focused and so excited about what we’re doing. It’s terrific. I’m even excited about re-doing my branding! Attached is my new-and-improved USP. Have a great week."
— Linda Rivero, Copywriter/Speaker on Multicultural Communication, Alexandria, VA
"I work in a lot of different media: mail, web, email, print, packaging and more. But no matter what kind of piece it is, Chris always helps me look at it in a new and fresh way. You'll be a better writer after just one session... but why stop there?"
— Chuck Vadun, Sr. Copywriter, Intuit, San Diego, CA
"
Chris, I wanted to fire off a quick email to thank you for your advice and support on Monday. I went in to see two clients yesterday, followed your script, and guess what? Two pieces of business. I feel I've stepped up! I've got another meeting on Friday and will keep you informed on the outcome there."
— Simon Rudge, Software Copywriter, London, U.K.
"My first bulky mailing went out to a hand-picked list of 400 marketing managers and directors in the UK, with a letter featuring my free report offer. Results after follow up calls? The bulky mailer proved a great memory jogger for busy execs and gatekeepers: 53 requests for the report, a 13.25% response! Thanks Chris!"
— Simon Rudge, Software Copywriter, London, UK
"Chris, you were absolutely integral to helping me define not only my professional niche, but to help me discover how to pursue work that would bring joy and meaning to my life.

"I regard you as an incredibly valuable resource and you can bet I'll be relying on your expertise as my business continues to grow. I'm grateful to know you. I simply could never recommend you highly enough. To all of you who choose to work with Chris, I say, ’Get ready... she will change your life!’"
— Tracy Douglas, Sales Catalyst for the Mom/Child Market, North Hollywood, CA
"Here’s a brief update... Everyone who read my bait piece thought it was great and I had many inquiries to buy it when it was finished as a full-length ebook. So I decided to finish the bait-piece turned ebook.
"Then, [thanks to your help in structuring my landing page] I was invited to guest star in a teleconference on paralegal training. I got more inquiries from lawyers and paralegals that saw my website.
"I’ve now been hired by a freelance paralegal and 2 lawyers to design and write copy for new websites. I’ve also been approached to write copy for some public relations material for lawyers. Now, if I get any more inquiries, I will have to put them on a waiting list!
"Thank you for your help, Chris. I wouldn’t have this business now if it wasn’t for your great coaching."
— Lynn Roberts, JD, MBA, Attorney at Law, Lawyer and Paralegal Career Coach, Overland Park, KS
"What a THRILL! I believe this is one of the best relationships I've developed this year, and I welcome you into my life with open arms. I am now going to sit down and develop a calendar of assigned tasks, which I will email to you with writing samples as soon as it's done to my satisfaction. Have a great afternoon; you have, single-handedly made my day spectacular. Peace be with you."
— Kim Stacey, Copywriter, Ben Lomond, CA
"Hi Chris, I am happy to report that after receiving your guidance, I have finally managed (in my free moments while full-time raising my 2 year old daughter) to begin calling my carefully researched list of potential clients. Incredibly, on the first day of calling I managed to dial 28 numbers, and out of those 28 I got my first client!
"I am about to begin work on my first job, with potential to develop a long- term relationship and ongoing work partnership, and I am thrilled. Of the other 27 that I called, I got only 2 'no thanks' responses and 10 who requested my resume, brochure and materials. I thank you and your advice about how to research and narrow down my list for my amazing response rate. I will keep you posted — my future is looking bright from here."
— Jennifer Sexton, Natural Health Copywriter, Yarmouth, MA
"Happy with my coaching? Oh my goodness, I am ecstatic with my coaching. You gave me great advice that I never would have thought of on my own, you showed me concrete plans to put my own ideas into action, and you helped me develop the self-confidence to market myself in the first place.
Just knowing about Who's Mailing What, alone, was worth it. Really, it was a huge help — Thoreau said you should make your castles in the sky, but put foundations under them, and you have put foundations under mine. You've really helped make the 'money-making' part of my challenge seem manageable."
— Jane Ward, Case Studies Specialist, Hingham, MA
"As one of only two copywriter’s agents in the nation, I must be very picky about whom I represent. I decided to work with you Chris, not only because of your copywriting talent, but your business acumen. Your tenacity and ideas bring a synergy to our relationship that can only add up to mutual success."
— Kevin Finn, President/CEO, Finn Communications, Inc., Redondo Beach, CA
"This is such a great service and such good advice...truly wonderful...I can focus on where I truly need help...with you I get one-on-one and it accelerates my progress. In one hour’s time I can target the challenges that are most pertinent. The impetus it gives me for the rest of the week is just incredible. A lot of things are coming into focus that were fuzzy to me for such a long time."
— Diana Manchester, Diana Manchester Advertising & Design, Monrovia, CA
"Most of what I am learning about copywriting comes through trial and error, of course, and just doing it. However, I have an unfair advantage with you in my corner. As my coach, you have saved me so much time and energy. Just last week, your advice about that conference I was considering attending saved me $139 in registration fees! You are worth every penny, Chris. Thanks for making it so easy!"
— Chuck Thompson, Direct Response Copywriter, Chicago, IL
"Chris Marlow is at the top of her game. I can think of few other professionals I would recommend as highly as an effective business coach. Take my advice. Pick her brains."
— Steve Slaunwhite, Author of "Start & Run A Copywriting Business"
(Self-counsel Press), Brampton, Ontario
"To me, the definition of an inspiring mentor is someone who is a top working pro in their field and who willingly gives 
their knowledge and expertise to others in a caring and nurturing way. That's what you get when work with Chris Marlow. She's increased my 'marketing learning curve' as a copywriter 10 fold — and kept me focused like a laser on what I wanted to accomplish in this competitive business. And I'm proud to say I'm on target to hit my financial goals for the year. And I owe a lot of my success to Chris. She's tremendous!"
— Peter J. Fogel, Copywriter/Consultant/ Speaker, New York
"If my personal life needs help, I turn to 'Dear Abby'... when my business needs help, I turn to 'Dear Chris'! I want to hear practical answers, do-able solutions, and ideas that make me think and see the possibilities. Unpretentious and straight-forward, Chris Marlow reminds me of why I got into this business in the first place: to focus on the things that help me make money! Thank you Chris."
— Peter T. Britton, The Write Answers Consulting Services, Vancouver, B.C.
"Chris makes the writer's world seem less intimidating and more exciting. For the first time in my life, I feel comfortable with myself and comfortable enough to say AND truly believe that I am a copywriter. This to me is far more valuable than any techniques that she could share, or strategies that she could administer. In the absence of just feeling good about myself, I could sustain nothing. No price could be put on this but I have definitely received more than my investment! Having a coach like Chris is worth it!"
— Giselle Hudson, Principal, Purple Marketing Limited,
Trinidad, Caribbean
"Even though I had a lot of corporate marketing and agency experience, I really didn't understand what it takes to be a free-lancer. Working with Chris opened my eyes and then some. Especially when I hit a low point and I had proposals out there but nothing was happening. When it comes to the business of copywriting, she's the guru!"
— Sally Blodgett, Copywriter, Ben Lomond, CA
"I've watched you grow your business from nothing to 
impressive Chris. And along the way I've used many of your techniques to grow mine. Whenever I had a question, you've had the answer. I appreciate all of the hours you've spent counseling me, and all of the information you've shared. I can' t even guess at how much time you've saved me. Thank you Chris!"
— Deb Cornick, Deb Cornick Graphic Design, Kameuela, HI
"I'm really glad you were there during my transition into freelance life. And you continue to motivate me and give me guidance while I decide where to focus my efforts. I know I'll be even more of a success than I am now if I continue to follow your suggestions."
— Eugene Ball, The BallTech Group Graphic Design, Palm Desert, CA
"I've learned much from you, and one of the most important things I've learned is how to align my values with my goals. I feel like nothing can hold me back now, Coach!"
— Christy Garan, Artist, Los Angeles, CA
"From one coach to another, thank you Chris for helping me break through a marketing block that has plagued me for a long time. Your advice to me was both timely and priceless!"
— Jim Slay, Doctor of Religion, J.S. Professional Coaching, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA
"Dear Chris: You are so brilliant! And that's why I want to work with YOU. Great strategy move on your part. That is such a super idea you use to get business...I definitely want to do that when I start out. Thank you again for being so helpful to me."
— Beverly Budgell, Brampton, Ontario, Canada
"Few people have another person’s best interest at heart the way you do. You are one of the most supportive people I’ve been privileged to know. I truly value the help you’ve given me, and your good advice."
— Jan Webster, Palm Desert, CA
"Hi Chris, I am happy to report that after receiving your guidance, I have finally managed (in my free moments while full-time raising my 2 year old daughter) to begin calling my carefully researched list of potential clients. Incredibly, on the first day of calling I managed to dial 28 numbers, and out of those 28 I got my first client!
"Chris! What a valuable hour plus that proved to be — not that I expected anything less. Thank you so much for your generosity. I feel very motivated and look forward to working
with you."
— Carolyn Walker, Carolyn Walker Writing & Editing, Sacramento, CA
"It helped me so much to talk with you and hear your perspectives; finding out another professional's evaluation of my work, and your ideas on a direction to go mean a lot. Thank you for sharing these files with me, and most of all, for listening and answering my questions, and having excellent ideas!"
— Sheri Waldrop, Copywriter, Weatherford, TX
"After 100 letters and some phone calls, I'm proud to post a 5% response rate using Chris's time-proven marketing methods. She's honed my message to such a fine point that it would be impossible for a company not to respond. Thanks, Chris!"
— Victoria Rosendahl, Passion Marketing Copywriter,
Urbanna, VA
"Dear Chris, Yesterday morning I was thrilled to hear you say, ’congratulations! You have your first copywriting job!’ It is due to your conscientious guidance and expertise that I have reached this milestone, and though I’m sure I face many more challenges as a budding copywriter, I am confident because with your coaching I know I will successfully overcome them.
"If someone were to ask me about the educational effectiveness of your coaching program, as a professional educator I’d only have two words for you: ’right on.’ I went through your entire copywriting program and you deserve a lot of credit for helping me land this first client! One of the things about you that helped me tremendously is your patient, hands-on instruction.
"Maybe it’s just me, but coming from a non-sales oriented profession as I did, it has been extremely helpful to learn about marketing, sales, and copywriting from the bottom up and by doing it myself. With your caring guidance, I created small pieces of my copywriting life, building a strong foundation by uncovering potential niche areas, then drafting a USP about who I am as a copywriter. From scratch, we created my first copywriting sample: my professional website. At the same time, we analyzed the market in my niche, examined and gathered hundreds of names to create an in-house list, and began a sales campaign.
"Thank you for sharing your professional knowledge and practical know-how with me! I have learned more from you than I would have from a book or an academic program, because you are a master in the field whose ability shines through in all you do."
— Marian Kleinman, copywriter for education and self-improvement, Liberty, NY
"Thank you, Chris, for a very thought-provoking and inspiring conversation. It's apparent that you are an expert in your field, and have the skills and methods to help copywriters create successful businesses. I especially appreciate your emphasis on finding work that suits one's interests and values, not just on making money by writing random assignments. I have full confidence that you could help me refine my focus, hit my targets, and enjoy the process."
— Susan Gately, Concept Communications, Somerville, MA
"Dear Chris, It was really great talking to you just now. I came off the phone with my head a whirl of ideas and possibilities. Fantastic!
Thank you for sending me the creative briefs. I shall set to and devour them immediately! Oh, and thank you for the syllabus and USP as well. They've just arrived. I am so looking forward to working with you. I'm feeling inspired. Warmly..."
— Jane Howitt, Words4TheWeb, Sale, United Kingdom
"You've been a big boost to my career, Chris. I'd recommend you as a Personal Coach to any copywriter who wants to get ahead in this business."
— Jeanine Granfin Holly, Holly Copywriting, Portland, OR
"More than anything, I value your insight and feedback on specific projects. Remember that magalog project for the utility that you helped me with? Well that magalog project had a 34% closing rate. The sales letters that you helped me develop for that company ranged from 2% to 65% response rate.
"I'm currently pitching an idea to that same company that includes a range of integrated projects. Thanks again Chris for your response and for ’being there’ when I need insight."
— Patrick B., Copywriter, Ontario, Canada
" I was having some second thoughts about all the work I put into the mailing, particularly the paper on the industry. But, that paper has positioned me as a specialist in the industry. The time and effort really paid off.
"One company asked if I’d be willing to join them as a full time copywriter. The mailing has done a great job opening up doors. To date I received 8 responses for the paper. Two are pretty good leads. Thanks, again, for your help. "
— Susan Allocco, Copywriter, New York, NY
"You've been a gem of inspiration, mind-set shaping and at times, carried me along to help me reach my goal. I'm really grateful for the coaching you have given me. You've given me a lot of powerful tools that include ’a way of thinking’ when it comes to marketing myself."
— Ken Taylor, Marketer, Nagoya, Japan
"I did not get a chance to thank you at Bootcamp for your class--I wanted to let you know I found my niche. The questions not only helped me to define the niche I wanted to write for; they also revealed a few surprises for me.
"An example, which I was not expecting: I have been learning to write long copy, and was fully prepared to use that skill. Imagine my surprise when I identified a preference for short copy during the exercises! I sat there scratching my head, thinking, 'Where the heck did THAT come from?' It was an opinion I hadn't even considered.
"I also realized that my ideal niche (Fundraising! Thanks, Niche Detective!) and my dreams of being wealthy don't exactly match; so I will have a "backup" niche as well. I chose catalog marketing for that, because I can put my short copy skills to good use there. (I realized that my creative writing skills are actually slowing me down in the long copy because I am always trying to find the "perfect" word--I can drive myself nuts.)-I will be using my longer copy for the fundraising, but it will be easier there because I am good at story leads.
"I finally feel like I am making progress, thanks to you. Before your class, I really had no idea what I was going to do. Now I do, and I am very happy. Thank you again!"
— Sharon Annable, Bantam, CT
"Chris, I received my certificate. I am so proud. Marlow Marketing Method is an outstanding course in every way: content, coaching, practical usefulness in staring a new career/business, and integrating concepts into actual practice. I applied solid, proven marketing concepts to creating my own business. I literally, designed, created, and executed my business plan during the course.
"It was hard work and it was fun work. I learned far more ( and worked harder) in your course than I did during university courses I recently completed!
"I will always be grateful for this course and having you as a coach! See you at the Coffee Klatch!"
— Nancy Moore, Copywriter for self-improvment, Redmond, OR
"The Marlow Marketing Method for copywriters is one of the best investments I ever made. I took the course when I decided that college wasn't where I wanted to go. So I took the money I set aside for a year at a University and began the Marlow Marketing Method. It was a bit nerve racking at first because everyone says you're supposed to go to college. But I didn't really care.
"I don't regret my decision one bit. Why? Because the course paid for itself before I was even halfway through! I began applying some of the things I learned in the course to my marketing, and I immediately landed a $5000 job from an interested client. If that isn't proof that Chris's program works, then I don't know what is. This program will literally pay for itself 1000 times over and then some throughout my copywriting career. Enjoy!"
— Tyler Cash, Freelance Copywriter
"As a former coaching student of Chris Marlow, I was taught how to not just go after the jobs on places like Direct Response's job board--those that everyone else is going for. I learned how to evaluate businesses (by viewing their websites) that are in my niche and spending good amounts of money on copy. Well, a few months ago, I did just this: I researched a company that was in my niche and got the name of their editor. I researched her bio and found out that she was a former freelance copywriter herself! I left her a voicemail, adding this in to form a connection, and she called me back, leaving me the name of the managing editor to contact. I sent her a cover letter and directed her to my website that Chris helped me create. To make a long story short, I am working on my third project for them, and I was just hired for another project in a different department...this will bring my total earnings from them to over $5,000 in three months. And it further establishes my expertise in the area. Thanks, Chris, for your creative, unique, and effective marketing strategy!"

"Chris is a very special coach because she knows the formula to success. I knew I found the key to my future when I participated in her teleseminar. She delivered on her promise, and I signed up for her program as fast as I could. That's been one of the best decisions I've made for my business.Her program was perfect- learn by doing. She's an expert in her field and continues to pursue cutting edge information. She's intelligent, supportive, creative, and everything I'd hoped for in a coach. I continued with her group coaching- Coffee Klatch and that has been just as amazing. It helps me stay motivated (the group members are incredible, too!), get new ideas, keep a pulse on the industry, and much more. I feel I got an incredible value and a skill I can apply to any business for the rest of my life. That's quite the ROI."
— Keiko Takimoto-Makarczyk, Alpaca Rancher, Texas
"I compared Chris' one-on-one coaching program to about a dozen of her colleagues. Chris came out on top in every category. Her recipe for success molded my initial marketing campaign into a 6% response rate.
"Through her coaching, she converted my Neanderthal approach into a refined and sophisticated style that gave marketers the impression that I had been doing this for years. But, the best part was that Chris rolled up her sleeves when extra time and effort was needed, without charging me for it. In fact, on her own time, she researched and located a marketing association within my niche, handing me my leads on a silver platter. Thanks, Chris!"
— Pete Alexion, Agriculture's Copywriter, North Pole, Alaska
"About a year and a half ago, you critiqued a sales letter of mine (I had won a free consultation with you). I thought the letter was really good (but looking back, I was pretty inexperienced! :-)) and you gave me a lot of very helpful advice for revising the letter.
"What a long way this letter is from that previous letter, and I don't mean in just the skills I've learned for writing a sales letter! I've identified my ideal niche, I've studied that niche, I've identified key words, etc., etc., etc.! Once again, thank you for your amazing coaching!
"Now I have an intelligent, proven system that will help me to steadily (and this time, effectively) work at this to make it a success!"
