Top Copywriters Failed to Defeat Parris Lampropoulus’ “Unbeatable” 7-Year Control. Here’s How I Beat It…and Went On to Produce Many More Multi-Year, Million-Dollar Controls
Hey there,
Years ago, superstar copywriter Parris Lampropoulus held the control for 7 years for a Boardroom, Inc. publication called Tax Hotline.
After I got one of my first major controls—for KCI’s Personal Finance—and beat the legendary Jim Rutz (the first time), Brian Kurtz from Boardroom couldn’t call me fast enough.
He wanted to know if I’d be interested in writing for Boardroom (which was every up-and-coming copywriter’s dream) and take a shot at this “unbeatable” control.
Many top copywriters had been hired to beat it. Many had failed before me.
And I’ll admit, Parris’ control really was killer. There’s a reason it stood undefeated for more than 7 years.
But there was a tiny weakness in his control…one I knew quite well, as I had already won a few controls (and earned handsome royalties) with this strategy.
So I applied this strategy to my new test promo…and it ended up K.O.-ing Parris’ 7-year “unbeatable” control. And it went on to mail for another 2 years until the product was folded.
Wouldn’t you love to know what this “stealth” strategy was? Then keep reading…

Now Available! Your In-Home Version of My No-Holds-Barred
LA Boot Camp Intensive
Earlier this year I revealed exactly what this secret was in my first-ever LA Boot Camp Intensive. Not only did I share my victorious Boardroom Tax Hotline control and the strategy behind it, I broke down some of my other million-dollar controls, including:
►A financial newsletter promotion that beat Jim Rutz not once, but twice…
►A joint health supplement promotion that mailed successfully for over a decade…
►An 8-year control for a memory supplement that made it one of the biggest sellers in its niche…
►And another control I wrote for Boardroom that’s still mailing more than 10 years later!
This live, one-day workshop—which I purposefully limited to just 10 attendees (and allowed one more to sneak through the door at the last moment)—took place in beautiful Hermosa Beach, California. In the room were beginning and advanced copywriters, marketers, and entrepreneurs alike.
Fortunately, I made a last-minute decision to capture ALL of this invaluable, no-holds-barred teaching and sharing.
And now my entire LA Boot Camp Intensive presentation is available to you…along with the same 60-page, 4-color Guidebook entitled “Breakthrough Copywriting Secrets It’s Taken Me 19 Years to Learn…And Will Take You Only One Morning!” that each lucky participant received!
Plus I’ve captured every word of my 3-hour presentation in a downloadable transcript you’ll want to read and refer to again and again.

Several of my boot camp attendees got to meet with Jay Abraham at his nearby office after our day together. Sadly, you missed your chance to meet Jay, but you’ll enjoy the same no-holds-barred training I delivered when you get my Virtual LA Boot Camp Intensive!
A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Turning “Flops”
into Million-Dollar Controls
In my NEW completely downloadable Virtual LA Boot Camp Intensive, which includes the videos, guidebook, and transcript I just mentioned, you’ll see the exact swipes of Parris’ 7-year control, my first try at beating it, and the test promo that beat it handily and went on to bring in the big bucks. (I’ll even send you a PDF of my Tax Hotline control with my compliments!)
You’ll get a deep dive breakdown and behind-the-scenes look at what allowed me to get this Boardroom control (and become the first female copywriter to do so!)
I even go over my first few “flops” when I was first starting out with other clients so you know WHY they failed. Plus I show you exactly how on my second “go” I turned them into multi-year, million-dollar controls!
With this kind of know-how, you can avoid making these same mistakes. Plus you’ll be able to immediately spot the holes in any control you’re looking to beat…increasing your chances of a blockbuster hit (and a FAT royalty check!)
But that’s not all. From all of these winning controls I’ve written for companies like Boardroom, Soundview, and Healthy Directions, I boiled down writing a million-dollar control into a foolproof, 5-point system in this special, never-before-released, in-home program….

Either way, with the click of a button you can be on your way to boosting your income dramatically and becoming an in-demand copywriter.
Plus at checkout you’ll get the chance to add the complete set of promo swipes of the 11 different control promos I refer to in my Virtual LA Boot Camp Intensive, so you’ll have them at the ready to do a “deep dive” into…at a substantial savings off the regular price.
Thanks to the strategies I reveal in this program, you’ll take a giant leap forward in your mastery of copywriting, so you can charge clients more for your work. You’ll also discover my secrets to getting paid more and negotiating arrangements that put YOU in control of what you earn.
Everything you’ll discover in my Virtual LA Boot Camp Intensive are real-life strategies I used myself to go from being a newbie to having a fully booked calendar…receiving fat, regular royalty checks…“beating controls left and right” (former Boardroom executive Brian Kurtz’s words, not mine!)…and earning a six-figure income my very first year as a freelance copywriter a few decades ago.
And you can get it all for a fraction of what it’d cost to learn it from me one-on-one!
Put Yourself on the Fast Track for Less Than You’d Spend for an Hour of My Coaching!
I charge clients a minimum of $4,000 for a full day of consulting, plus travel time and expenses (and that will go up every year!)
On the rare occasions I coach freelance copywriters, I’ve charged upwards of $450 an hour…and I’m not taking on anyone new at this time (except for the lucky mentees I’m already working with).
That’s part of what made my LA Boot Camp Intensive live event such a bargain. For this full-day, small group intensive, each attendee paid $497 plus, in many cases, airfare and lodging.
In return they got 8 full hours with me (including more than 3 hours of teaching plus hot seats.) That in itself was an incredible deal…in fact, I considered charging twice as much!
But now you can enjoy my Virtual LA Boot Camp Intensive, and have it to view and read again and again from the comfort of your own home, for the no-brainer price of just $299 $249 for the physical + virtual versions of the program. Or get the virtual version only for just $249.
This includes the 3 hours’ worth of videos, the 60-page Guidebook packed with copywriting strategies and actual promo examples from my past controls (and some of the ones I beat—including ones by Parris Lampropoulus and Jim Rutz), and the complete, word-for-word transcript of my presentation!
My Virtual LA Boot Camp Intensive is the closest you’ll get to having one-on-one coaching time with me. To be frank, $249 would barely get you half an hour of my time. And my calendar right now doesn’t allow me to take on any new coaching clients.
But thanks to this in-home program, $249 gets you my full, 3-hour video presentation and word-for-word transcript, plus my 60-page Guidebook containing my boiled-down, 5-point system for getting bigger controls based on my 19 years as a top-level copywriter. And you can get immediate access to all of it!

Think about it. One of my coaching clients recently told me she increased her income by over 25% after just two hours of my time. Imagine what this virtual program with me can do for you. Another mentee just got his first royalty-paying control, after being a copywriter for less than a year. And another mentee I worked with last year recently passed the six-figure mark, and his schedule is packed with high-quality clients.
Think of the new breakthroughs you can use immediately on your copy projects that earn you BIGGER projects, fat royalty checks, or even an idea that multiples your business revenue.
