Is this a good email?

[Christopher John]

I am trying to get in touch with someone who will mentor me.

How does this look????

Start of email

Your page is fascinating. Please help me start to learn copywriting. I am looking for a mentor. I have tons of information. I need a guide though this jungle. I am talented and loyal.



I want to make money and I need to find out how and where I should start start.



I have contacted multiple people at The Total Package and I am waiting for there response. You have the opportunity to earn the loyalty of a man who does not fail.



I do not take help for granted. Please get back to me as soon as possible. I am ambitious and willing to succeed at all costs.



Thank You for your time,



Chris

Hi Chris,

Have you read & studied much on copywriting and direct response yet?

Everyone I know who's successful at this either started off with direct experience in the direct response business or studied their butt off through books, newsletters, courses and just about everything they could get tehir hands on.

There are a TON of FREE resources to teach you more than you could possibly absorb at one time. And if you master what's in those resources you'll be far along.

A good place to start is by reading Clayton's archived articles in order that they appeared. Go to this page and scroll down and read from the bottom up:

Clayton Makepeace's Copywriting Articles

Then, check out the late Gary Halbert's archived site. Again, start at the bottom of the page and work your way up:

Gary Halbert's Archive

Third, you should check out Gary Bencivenga's newsletter

Then, get on John Forde's newsletter and Michel Fortin's blog, Brian Clark's blog, and Doug D'Anna's newsletter.

In other words, you don't have to wait for someone else to teach you, there's so many resources for you to study to get going.

PLUS, what you learn from taking the time to study these people's work will make it infinitely easier for you to craft a promotion to entice someone to mentor you, hire you, etc.

Hope that helps and best of luck!
John
