In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I share one of the coolest pieces in my collection, an original 1925 signed set of The Book of Life by Robert Collier, and the magalogue (Magazine + Catalogue) ad that sold it. Robert Collier wasn’t just an incredible author in the personal development world; he was also one of the best direct response advertisers of all time, selling more than $200 million worth of books through the mail in the 1920’s! That’s INSANE! I break down the ad that sold this book set and why the same framework still works today. From the way he used visualization and storytelling (think Aladdin’s lamp and your own personal genie) to the powerful risk reversal and trial offer, this magalogue is a masterclass in how to sell with words. Key Highlights: How Collier’s ad opened with a powerful hook and visualization to grab attention immediately The way he layered storytelling, case studies, and benefits before ever introducing the product How he transitioned into the offer and made the book set feel like a “genie in a lamp” that could fulfill the reader’s deepest desires The risk reversal structure that made the offer irresistible (free trial, easy return, and low payments) Why the same hook–story–offer framework Collier used in print still applies to funnels, webinars, and sales letters today When you study ads like this, you see how much thought great marketers used to put into their offers. Collier couldn’t just throw up a page and run Facebook ads… He had to make the message and the offer so good people would literally mail back a postcard with their own money.
