Million-Dollar Controls by Kim Krause Schwalm
Here’s everything you get in my Million-Dollar Control Breakdown Master Class as soon as you join: 

  • Six in-depth multi-million-dollar control breakdowns, including video and audio recordings as well as complete, word-for-word transcripts. Plus, you’ll see me break down or discuss controls I went head-to-head against…including controls copy chief-ed by top A-lister Parris Lampropoulos and two written by David Deutsch and other top copywriters.
  • 57 “in-the-field” swipes, variants, and split tests you can model, adapt, and pull ideas from for your next project. (Don’t worry about “swipe overwhelm”. Because I’m walking you through each and every one. Telling you what worked, what didn’t, and why.)
  • Six “takeaway” documents for each control breakdown distilling the most important secrets, strategies, and tactics. Each contains at least 6 to 8 pages of the most powerful concepts that you can quickly refer to whenever you need a helping hand. Not only will they help you develop the mindset and psychology of an A-list copywriter, they provide a kind of “road map” for approaching each type of promo.
  • A bonus control breakdown from a behind-the-scenes, invitation-only call hosted by Agora Financial. You’ll get my full interview with Joe Schriefer and David Garfinkel, plus the complete, word-for-word transcript and promo swipes of this highly-successful anti-aging supplement sales page.
  • A second bonus control breakdown of the financial promo I wrote that beat the great Jim Rutz not just once, but twice! You’ll get my video and audio breakdown that walks you through the tactics I used to get my initial control and then revive it for a second run. Plus you get a summary of key takeaways, my original control promos and multiple cover and lead tests, and a glimpse of the Rutz controls I had to beat. Packed with timeless lessons you’ll profit from for years to come!
  • Exclusive, in-depth training on Supplement Copy Compliance Secrets. You’ll speed your way to knowing how to write compliant copy that actually sells…and discover how to keep you and your client out of trouble!
  • The one tool you won’t want to be without—my Royalty Negotiation “Cheat Sheet”. You can easily read this in one short sitting and use it to quote higher fees and lucrative royalty arrangements…as early as tonight!
  • The famed Gene Schwartz Phillips Publishing lecture transcript. I consider this mandatory reading for any copywriter who wants to get really good at writing copy and understanding the psychology behind it. You’ll want to refer to it again and again—I know every time I do so I pick up another valuable insight!
  • A shot of confidence knowing you’re armed with proven A-level strategies that have made hundreds of millions in sales for my clients over the last 20+ years…and can help YOU rack up control after control!

Here’s what other copywriters and offer owners have to say about Kim’s Million-Dollar Control Breakdown Master Class…
“A mind-blowing process!”

“Kim’s master class has definitely helped me see clearly and discover how to structure what powerful copy looks like. This includes the nitty-gritty from headline to subheads, body copy, closing, and CTAs. Also, I learned from the approaches that Kim used – bullet approach, how to beat the Control, the empathy lead, proof/testimonials, and above all, the research process. For a newbie like me, it’s a mind-blowing process. I’ll surely recommend this training to others. In fact, I already have!”
—Mary Luz Feranil, Copywriter

“Great way to learn what works!”

“I loved everything I’ve seen so far. Just seeing how Kim thinks about hooks and angles made this masterclass super-valuable. It’s a great way to learn what works, especially in health.”
—Michael G., Copywriter/entrepreneur

“Recommended for anyone wanting to level up!”

“I would absolutely recommend Kim’s master class to anyone wanting to level up (or maybe even just hit level 1 from 0) in their promo copy game. She’s fun to follow along with, warm and friendly and easy to listen to, and shares a wealth of experiential knowledge in all the details we went over in her teardowns. Kim’s insight comes through with her comments and the details she shares. Quick tips based on her years of writing promos for how to speak to the prospect, and her thoughts on timeframes and research needed, are all probably clearer and more upfront than anyone else I’ve learned from to date. Money well-invested, I know I’ll end up going through this course again—probably more than once—to glean as many bits as I can!”
—Derek Schmeh, Copywriter

“Took away a notebook’s worth of tips!”

“I would definitely recommend Kim’s Million-Dollar Control Breakdown Master Class to my fellow copywriters. You get to look over the shoulder of one of today’s premier copywriters and hear her break down her process in a clear, actionable way. I took away a notebook’s worth of tips that I plan to apply to my own copy. Seeing what’s good and needs improving in copy so I can apply it to my own copy made her masterclass extra valuable. It was a tremendous value for the price.”
—Carolyn G., Copywriter

“An insider’s analysis of winning copy!”

“Kim’s insights in her copy teardowns is an insider’s analysis of why her copy contributed to a winning campaign. Her masterclass provides a one-of-a-kind education for serious students of copywriting, from newbies to established writers who want to up their game. Highly recommend it!”
—Ed Hanada, M.D. rehabilitation specialist and copywriter

“Kim’s major keys to success revealed!”

“As the saying goes, ‘Success leaves clues.’ And watching Kim examine her successes reveals many of those clues. Seeing how deep, deep, deep research is one of Kim’s major keys to success was extremely valuable, along with seeing all the elements she looks for in finding ways to beat a control. I also appreciated all the thought and preparation Kim obviously put into preparing what she was going to share. The quick critiques of our work were giant dollops of frosting on the cake. It was like having Babe Ruth watch me take a couple swings and give me some tips! After going through Kim’s master class, I now put more thought and energy into planning and researching before I write.”
—Dave Markov, Copywriter and Author

“Like the ‘director’s cut’ of copywriting!”

“Kim’s step-by-step breakdowns and the detailed explanations of why the copy decisions that were made, were made were incredibly valuable. Her master class is like the ‘director’s cut’ of copywriting where you get to ‘go behind the scenes’ and see how copy is really made. I already using applying at least one of her techniques to copy I’m writing now. Highly recommend!”
—David Lowenthal, Copywriter

“A look at winning copy through a master’s eyes!”

“To get good at copy you need to know how to look at winning copy through a master’s eyes. That’s what made Kim’s Million-Dollar Control Breakdown Master Class so valuable: seeing how persuasive elements are interwoven throughout the copy and how it all comes together. Since going through Kim’s training, the way I study copy has gotten deeper. I can get more out of studying controls and use it in my own writing.”
—Billy Williams, Copywriter

“Helping me find key nuggets in research!”

“What made Kim’s Million-Dollar Control Breakdown Master Class so valuable was hearing her explain the thinking behind her controls and research, and then hearing how well they did. I’ve already used the ‘processes behind the processes’ to break down other successful controls, deeply analyze audiences, and find key nuggets in research. I’d recommend Kim’s masterclass to anyone who wants to better understand the process and thinking behind creating successful online controls (and it’s applicable to smaller projects as well).”
—Steve Hill, Copywriter/Entrepreneur

“If you want to write better sales pages, you NEED this!”

“As a copywriter, you’ve got to understand the process of crafting a winning sales page. And there’s no better way to do that than by learning from someone like Kim who breaks down the research and thought process for a winning sales letter. The course platform worked great, and seeing the previous controls and tests was an unexpected bonus. I’ve already applied one of Kim’s methods to confirm what I know, dig up testimonials, and to better understand customers’ fears about buying. If you want to write better sales pages, you definitely need this master class!”
—Roland Eva, Copywriter
