High Level Copywriting Inside Info, With Cain Smith—Copywriters Podcast 418

Wouldn’t you love to have a confidential chat with a copywriter working at the highest levels of our business?

Well, we can’t provide the confidential part. This IS a podcast, after all, not a Signal chat.

But today’s guest, Cain Smith is on the front lines of some of the biggest businesses using direct response. So we can provide the copywriter working on the highest levels of our business part.

Cain’s client list includes real estate giant Grant Cardone, financial publishing giant Agora Financial, fitness and nutrition giant vShred… as just three examples.

His experience spans infoproducts and ecom, low-ticket and high-ticket, long-form and short-form funnels.

And we got him to come on to tell us what he’s noticing at the cutting edge. Because his observations, when put into action, can mean more money in your pocket.

Here's what we asked him:

1. Since you've got your finger on the pulse at a pretty high level these days, what would you say is the one big change in copywriting that most people aren't aware of yet?

2. How did you get started in copywriting, and how did you end up where you are now?

3. What have you noticed about e–commerce and how does this present opportunities for direct-response copywriters?

4. What’s going on these days with long-form VSLs?

5. What are some modern sales formats that are working better than old-school long-form VSLs?

6. What are some simple testing strategies copywriters and marketers are using successfully?

7. Where do you see direct-response copywriting heading in 2025?
