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..

   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.

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.

Go get it now while you still can
