Love this, it is great to see the integral foundation that some of the original legends laid. I know though that for sure there are plenty of hacks out there on the net with a copywriting hand book pumping out BS and misleading dozens along the way, but there are also the guys like Cecil, who use take away selling well and let people know that hey this really may not be for you..,

Love your work

Cecil was magnetic, both in person and in print. I met him in an Orlando strip club in 92, little did I know his writing prowess at the time! In fact he was a modest man until the end, always striving to learn & improve, even when he was on top of his game!

I’ll always remember the nuggets of wisdom Cecil shared with his close friends, his generosity was as pure as his writing.

I was thrilled to see this ad by Cecil on your site. Cecil was my mentor. He got me started and was a dear friend. He was no doubt one of the greatest marketers who ever lived.

Thank you for putting this on your site.

I remember meeting Cecil Hoge years ago – what a lovely man – and I also remember being told how he he used to sit down with a pad of yellow legal paper and dash off copy like lightning. His book is excellent, too
