Unpublished Gary Halbert Letters!
From:
Kevin
C. Halbert
Los Angeles, California
Dear Friend
and Subscriber,
On September 1st 1986 The Gary Halbert
Letter was born.
It would mark the
beginning of something so profound it would forever change the lives of
people all around the world.
Gary Halbert had
just been released from Boron Federal prison camp... "Club Fed."
It was one of the best things that
ever happened to our father.
A dynamic person like Gary Halbert
doesn't fare well in captivity.
So why was it so good?
Because a pent up person can only think of all the
things they will do once they are finally free.
The time at Boron gave Gary ten months to come up
with a master plan to take over the world.
And by his definition that is exactly what he did.
He left Boron and took on the world with a passion
and a vengeance that was unstoppable.
The truth is, he was still working while in Boron.
He wrote the best-selling book... The Boron Letters.
A book that continues to sell like crazy on Amazon.
That book was the primer for what would become...
The Gary Halbert Letter... a high end monthly newsletter.
The
newsletter was originally intended to be sold to serious marketers and
entrepreneurs. The high ticket annual price kept all the tire kickers
behind the wall.
The
newsletter would be his calling card... his magnet if you will... to
attract real players in the direct response marketing universe.
Mind
you, it wasn't only intended for the rich, but rather to let in the
serious players... rich or poor... beginners or seasoned veterans.
A serious
player isn't always successful. A serious player is simply unstoppable.
A serious player will beg, borrow or steal to come up with the
subscription price of Gary's newsletter.
Gary made some money
off newsletter subscriptions... but that wasn't his true motivation.
The real benefit was that he could
make people rich!
He could change their lives in ways nobody else could.
He made SOME people so successful that working
directly with Gary became one of their biggest dreams and a real
possibility.
And
because of the wealth his letters helped people generate, they could
easily afford to hire him or do joint ventures together.
One day back in the year 2001, my dad called and
offered to pay me a bunch of money ($9,000) to put his newsletters
online.
On May 3rd 2001 TheGaryHalbertLetter.com was born.
Gary
had achieved so much success and had changed so many lives for the
better... he decided to go even further and change as many lives as
possible.
He no longer needed to build momentum around
himself... the biggest players in the world already knew who he was.
It
was now time for every person on the planet to benefit from his wisdom
as soon as possible and with as little friction as possible.
The
Gary Halbert Letter lifetime subscription originally cost his
subscribers just under $2,000. And now here was Gary giving away
something for free while other "experts" were charging a lot more for
inferior content.
Were Gary's lifetime subscribers pissed when he
decided to give away free online the newsletters he charged them $2000
for?
Absolutely not.
Why?
Because most of them got their investment back many
times over before he ever decided to give the letters away.
The online newsletter... instantly became ground
zero for all marketers... from beginner to expert.
It became the repository for 25 years of some of his
greatest wisdom.
But there was something lost when the letters went
online...
Soon
after he published the letters online Gary ceased printing and mailing
the letters. Everyone could get the letters instantly online without
waiting for it to be delivered in the mail. Plus it saved him all the
related printing and shipping costs.
Gone were the days when people were
actually excited with the anticipation of opening their mailboxes and
finding a Gary Halbert Letter inside which could help bring
prosperity to their lives... instead of just the endless stream of
bills that only seem to empty their bank accounts.
Back
in the day his loyal fans could go to their mail box... open that
"A-pile" envelope... pull out the letter... and settle in for a story
that would take them on a journey and teach them some of the most
valuable and hard earned life lessons Gary went through... without them
ever having to go through those experiences themselves. A genuine
shortcut.
Some were cautionary tales.
Some were the real world secrets he had learned in
the
trenches on the way to discovering the real secrets of how to get rich
as quickly as possible.
Some were lessons in the big picture... what to
focus on... What to forget.
His
writings are addictive and unforgettable. And yet there are so many
pearls of wisdom contained in them that each person reading through
them discovers his or her own personal favorite Gary Halbert Quote.
His
stories were captivating... addictive... and mesmerizing.
There was no one
like Gary Halbert.
He was colorful... outrageous... and larger
than life.
It wasn't an act... he couldn't help it.
People loved him.
People hated him.
But he was unforgettable.
To spend any time with him was to be taken on a wild
ride.
Everyone who has ever met him has what we call a
"Gary Halbert Story."
He was extremely generous and apologized for little.
When he did apologize, it was for things you wouldn't expect.
He was very flawed but he never hid it.
In his newsletters he shared more of himself than
others would ever dare.
People tell us constantly that reading through the
letters makes them feel like they knew him.
He wasn't just some corporate drone writing some
white papers on marketing.
No... he shared himself... warts and all. And people
loved him for it.
The day he died... the world dreaded the reality
that the voice and words of the “Prince of Print” had fallen silent.
No longer would they hear his words in their head...
the pearls of wisdom... the brutal but honest truth.
No more letters.
No
more stopping everything to read his words standing in front of their
mailbox... instead of over a waste basket. No more taking the
mini-vacation that was reading those letters while they were actually
on vacation,because reading the letters wasn't work.
Gary
Halbert has some of the most passionate fans... and his crowd of loyal
followers continues to grow... today there are more than ever.
I
remember once being at a John Carlton seminar. For some reason I had a
box of old over-sized Boron Letters books in my car. These books were
damaged in Florida's humidity, causing the glossy covers to be fused
together. To separate them you had to basically tear the covers off.
Anyhow,
I brought the box into the event and people went crazy for them. I was
honest with them. I told everyone the Boron Letters were free on Gary's
website.
They didn't care... they still wanted to
pay me $97 for the book. They acted like I wasn't talking. Even though
they could get it for free they just wanted to push me aside and get
their hands on the damned book.
Wished I had packed
more boxes that day.
Ever since we took
over for our father, we've asked people time and time again what they
would like to see come from us now.
The single most
common request we get is for a re-print edition of the letters.
People want to hold them in their hands again...
just like Gary's original lifetime subscribers did.
Printing the PUBLISHED letters was something we'd
always had planned in the back of our minds to do someday.
To
be honest the reason we held off printing the letters was because
people could just print them themselves. Even though the ink and time
spent could be prohibitive and less than impressive.
And why do it if they could do it themselves?
Who
were we to argue... they knew all this and yet they still wanted the
official Halbert letters... the way they looked back in the day.
We
have a few of the original letters and there is just something magical
about holding the printed letters in your hand rather than a bunch of
loose sheets of paper stapled together.
We got to thinking... what would be the best way to
reproduce the letters? And this is what we came up with.
We
decided to print the letters just like they were originally... two
oversized sheets folded in half to make up an eight page letter, or
three sheets to make up a twelve page letter... etc.
Not only that... the letters would be saddle
stitched so they would never come apart.
Not
only that... the letters would be three-hole punched so the letters can
be organized into two large leather and gold embossed 3-ring binders.
And that is just what we did.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The
Gary Halbert Letter we are making available a printed version of a
collection of newsletters that were originally printed and released on
the website.
But wait!... there is more... WAAAAAAAAY more!
What
many people didn't know was that only about half of Gary's newsletters
were ever posted on his website (only about 500+ pages... not including
the new ones that were never printed and only released online). The
letters that were only ever released online will NOT be in this printed
edition... perhaps in the future.
So why were so many letters never released to the
public?
Well first of all, some of the newsletters were WAY
too personal... even for Gary.
Some
of the letters praised people Gary later no longer liked. Gary weaved
his letters into one long story, it wasn't that easy to edit just the
one little bad part out of the letter... so the whole letter got pulled.
Then there are letters where he changed his stance
on something.
Some letters are VERY controversial.
Others were pitches for products (now priceless long copy swipes).
And some letters were no longer
accurate.
Some letters refer to other letters we no longer have!
To be honest
it
is a mixed bag..
Probably...
We
will never publish these letters online!!
Once
inside you will understand WHY?
It is because there is no one
standing next to readers... someone who can give them perspective on
what Gary was really trying to say... and in today's environment
everyone is putting words in your mouth... trying to tell you what you
are really saying.
To be honest we were never 100% sure we
would even
release the unpublished letters offline... we may yank them off the
table without any warning.
We consider them...
The
Halbert Family Private Reserve Collection
To be passed down through our
family's generations.
Because it is only a person who has the right
perspective
and mindset who can fully appreciate them... and the pearls of wisdom
contained in them.
These letters aren't for the general public...
they are
for people who are proud to call themselves died in the wool
"Shitweasels."
In a good way the letters cost a small fortune to
reproduce (hundreds of dollars). Some parts of it are dealt with by
hand and they aren't produced overnight.
Somewhat fortunate is that... because the letters are so expensive to
produce... it ensures they will only be delivered into the hands of
serious fans who can fully appreciate doubling up on their Gary Halbert
wisdom.
And...
FYI... these letters aren't going to arrive overnight. The printer says
they will take seven business days to produce... and that is just a
guess.
To be honest I haven't re-read the letters recently... I'm kinda scared
of what they might contain. One letter had a picture of a guy’s social
security number.
About the condition of the letters...
Full disclosure... these letters aren't perfect
reproductions. They are made from scans of the original letters. In
most cases you would never notice... but there are SOME IMPERFECTIONS.
The real truth is we don't want picky people buying
this.
We'd rather share them with people who would fight
to get their hands on this.
Here comes the pitch and bullets...
First off I'd like to give credit where credit is
due...
Every once in a while someone asks whether they
can be an intern or prot�g�... for years we said NO.
Finally we have let a few people work WITH us...
they gain access to us and what we've learned. Either from us directly
or from Gary Halbert content.
Life has been crazy for us lately... I won't bore
you with the details.
Suffice it to say we fell behind on things so I
put a task upon our friend Jon McGreal to read the unpublished letters
and write the bullets for them... to sufficiently tease your greed
glands for what is inside these amazing letters you won't find on the
website.
The copy thus far is mine... Kevin Halbert.
The following is Jon's... with possibly some
modifications by me.
There won't be summaries on all the letters here...
there just isn't that much time. But you will get the idea.

Pretty amazing right?
And that is just some of the letters!
Imagine what just one of those letters might do for
your life? How does being able to read the letters away from the
distraction of daily life throw at you online? How to fully immerse
yourself in this life changing content.
To snap open the 3-ring binder... pull out ten issues or so... throw
them in your bag... read them at lunch... on the subway... on the
airplane when you are forced to turn off all devices and go off the
grid.
You
get the idea.
How
many of today's heroes you look up to give Gary credit for their start
by reading and listening to him?
How much advice from others originated from him?
Wouldn't you rather hear it directly from the horse's mouth... instead
of some watered down regurgitation?
Where would you be today without just
the letters Gary posted on his website?
Where might you be if you almost doubled
it?... Over 500 additional unpublished pages!
We can't guarantee future editions will contain every letter... some
might have to be pulled.
We've
delayed almost
ten years to bring this to you... and we make no promises to continue
to turn the crank and print this content and make it available to you
in the future.
It was only because of Gary's 30th anniversary that we felt motivated
to do something really special, release these letters and include the
unpublished ones.
For
now... you too can have a set of The Halbert Family Private
Collection... to pass down through your family's generations.
What could be more valuable?
WARNING...
some are definitely controversial. Please remember these letters
aren't for everyone.
Especially if you are
sensitive to brutally honest and strong language.
Perhaps in the future we will only offer those letters which were
released online... because many of the unpublished ones aren't safe for
the general public.
As I said earlier we hesitated to re-release the
letters... partly because we didn't want to send you into sticker
shock.
Again this offer isn't for everyone... It's not for people who have the
mindset "Hey I can get the letters for free online"... Its not for
people who want to print only the published letters on their printer.
It's for people that want to get the full "Gary Halbert
Letter experience."
Would you like to hear Gary's voice again through over 500 additional
pages of letters he never posted online?
Do you think this collection might show you ways you can be writing
persuasive copy that converts like crazy that no other copywriter has
ever even thought of?
When it comes to price... let me ask you this...
If you wrote these letters... how much would you ask for over 1100
pages of the world's most valuable collection of newsletters and ad
copy?
Would you even share these advantages with others?
Let me also ask you this...
Does just hearing Gary's voice in your head inspire you to write great
copy?
Would you like even more LIFE CHANGING copywriting and marketing
lessons told in a story format that is entertaining... addictive...
powerful... crystal clear... and unforgettable?!
If so... now is your chance to get in on this 30th anniversary offer
that has never been made before.
If you like to collect the best of the best materials on marketing... if you want the best resource on marketing on your shelf. The ultimate in your prized collection...
Go get it now while you still can
