Must be the summer lull up in the northern hemisphere…

…as it seems to have been a little slow on direct response copywriting and marketing blogs of late.

And of those that are publishing, a number are resorting to the (quite legitimate) tactic of republishing earlier posts.

Having said that, here are some items very definitely worth your attention…

The great John Carlton has some wise words on “Money, money, money, money…” with an all too rare post on his blog.

One person who hasn’t dropped the pace is the magnificent and indefatigable Drayton Bird.  Several posts from him this week but “I have two left feet. Dancing lessons anyone?” is particularly worth your attention. (This was also guest posted over at the “Total Package”).

Actually at the “Total Package” some inspiration from the great man himself, as Clayton Makepeace poses the question “Are You A Direct Response Gazillionaire-In-Waiting?” I seem to recall this has been published before, but well worth the read.

Finally, copywriter John “Ritz” Ritskowitz is going to be relaunching his popular “Copywriters Toolkit” in a new and expanded version.  There’s an excellent preview video in “A Sneak Peek At The Copywriters Toolkit 2.0″.
