Bob Bly turned a career in chemical engineering and technical writing into one of the world’s most notable copywriting careers.
Along the way he also became the prolific bestselling author of more than 100 published books.
I recorded this interview last year shortly before he published book #100. He’s published more since, including The Content Marketing Handbook.
(See below for a special related announcement!)
Copywriters and smart advertisers around the world consider Bob Bly’s book, The Copywriter’s Handbook, one of the best on the subject.
That includes “The Father of Advertising” David Ogilvy who once said, “I don’t know a single copywriter whose work would not be improved by reading this book.”
Yes, it’s that good. And this interview is that good, too. Those who wish to write for a living will learn a wealth of information from Bob in today’s episode as he shares…
– When to publish with a traditional publisher vs. when to self publish
– The big advantages of working with a traditional publisher – even as a new writer (beyond the advance)
– Real world income levels in Kindle publishing vs traditional publishing
– One reason why choosing a niche is so important to start… and not so much later
– Three keys to becoming a good writer of any type
– Bob’s process from idea through publication for writing a book
– What you should do before becoming a full-time writer
