My Birthday Is This Week — Here’s a Gift for You

[Note: This Offer Is Now Closed. Thanks!]

So my birthday is this Thursday, May 8. I’m a bit secretive about my age, although I haven’t gone out of my way to hide it. (Some folks know how old I am, but they almost never guess right the first time.)

Ever since about age 16, birthdays haven’t really been a big deal to me. When my wife asks me what I want, I have a really hard time coming up with anything.

I’m the kind of guy who depends on his wife to tell him when he should stop wearing something… because it’s out of fashion or falling apart. I also rely on her to force me to go clothes-shopping, which is one of my least favorite activities I could possibly imagine.

Anyway, I have more fun copywriting and serving people than I do receiving gifts. Which is why I want to give you a gift this week.

My Birthday Gift to You

Here’s the situation. I partnered up with JP Maroney a couple years ago on a book project. I was one of 22 different authors. We each submitted a chapter to the book.

The title of the book is Million Dollar Marketing Secrets. Some of the authors include Clayton Makepeace (he wrote an excellent chapter), Tom Antion, Michel Fortin, Ray Edwards, Alan Forrest Smith, and (of course) yours truly.

The book is packed with dozens of marketing tips and strategies. Here’s a sample of what’s included in the book:

• How to Harness the Power of Testimonials to Increase Sales.

• 7 Keys to Making a Fortune Using Radio Advertising.

• How to Get Prospects to Close Themselves.

• 5 Steps to Connect Product Benefits with Prospects’ Most Powerful Response-Boosting Emotions.

• How to Create Windfall Business Profits with the Power of Leverage.

• How One Transaction Can Make You Independently Wealthy for Life.

• Plus 16 more chapters I haven’t yet mentioned!

And because it’s my birthday this week, I’d like to give you a copy of this book for only $7.

Why So Little? And Why Now?

Since this was a group self-publishing effort, most of the co-authors paid money to create the book. I bought 500 copies at $3 each. Do the math. That’s $1,500 for 500 books.

Plus, I paid around $250 in shipping to have the books delivered to my house.

So far, I’ve used the books primarily as incentives. For instance, last summer, I gave away a free copy to the first few buyers of my report on how to get copywriting clients. And I’ve given copies to close friends and family members.

But I still have a LOT of these books left.

And I’ll be moving again at the end of September. So I really would prefer not to move these books again.

That’s why, in celebration of my birthday, I will give you a copy of my book for only $7. That includes shipping.

Considering that I’ve already spent $3 for each book, that’s a pretty good deal.

The only catch is that this offer will end first thing Friday morning (5/9/08) when I wake up. (My birthday is on Thursday, May 8.) So that means you have between now and early Friday morning to order.

I Have at Least 448 Copies Left!

As you can see in the picture, I’ve got 14 unopened boxes of books. Each carton contains 32 books. So I have a minimum of 448 copies left.

I doubt I’ll sell that many, but now you can see why I’d rather “give” them away now than haul them to a new house later this year.

Plus, it’s a nice perk for you. If you’re like me, you love books. And anytime I can get a quality marketing book for less than ten bucks, I’m all over it.

Heck, the chapter Clayton Makepeace wrote is worth $7 all by itself!

So Here’s How to Order

Just click the handy-dandy PayPal button below to pay $7 for the book. And MAKE SURE your address is correct. Because that is the address I will mail your book to.

International Customers: If you live in Canada or anywhere in the U.K., you can take advantage of this offer, too. No extra charge. (If you do not live in the U.S., Canada, or the U.K. and would like to order, please leave a comment below and I’ll get in touch with you privately.)

Canadian Customers: If you are a Canadian customer, I will mark your package as a “gift” so you don’t have to pay GST. (After all, this is a gift from me to you. I’m only asking you to chip in to help cover my “hard costs.”)

Alright, enough of my yammering. Here’s the PayPal Order Button.
