I've put together marketing campaigns that have generated thousands in new customers. And I turned a once struggling publishing unit into a $15 million success. I learned most of what I know from one of the biggest and bad-ass publishers on the planet, Agora Inc. which hit $1 billion in sales. I was fortunate enough to work alongside A-list copywriters such as Clayton Makepeace, Mike Palmer, Bill Bonner. But then I got burned out and stepped away ... actually I retired. About two weeks later, the folks at AWAI invited me to work with them? I said YES. For me it was a way to give back and help other people who dreamed of becoming paid writers actually achieve that goal. So I developed specialized online training programs for writers.Now I'm a freelance writer ready to work with YOU. Let's have a conversation on what we can achieve together.What People Say About Me:“Sandy Franks was one of the first marketers at Agora and one of the best in those early days of direct mail, before the internet revolutionized our business. Besides mastering direct mail marketing, she became a top-notch editor-in-chief of many of our copywriters and wrote several breakthrough controls, skills she continues to master in this faster, more fluid and more transparent electronic era. Her background too as a publisher gives her a wide range of experience and knowledge, something that is rare among today’s very fractionalized internet marketing world.” -- Mark Ford, Master Copywriter, NYT Best Selling Author“I worked with Sandy Franks for five years, and with her guidance, I was able to write one winning sales letter after another. If you want to learn how to become an 'A-level' copywriter, no one is more qualified to teach you than Sandy. Grab any opportunity you can to work with her.” -- Blair Morse, Senior Copy Chief and Author"Getting to write copy with Sandy is a little bit like having Michael Jordon help you with a jump shot or Keith Richards show you a guitar lick — you’re learning from a master. And it’s not just copy… it’s the whole package. She knows marketing and direct response like few in the business… she’s worked with new copywriters all her career (and turned many into superstars).And her temperament! You never feel intimidated working with Sandy. She’s always supportive… always encouraging… always thrilled to see you improving. I’d say if you have a chance to work with Sandy — grab it. It’s one of those rare once-in-a-lifetime moments.” -- Bob Bly, Master CopywriterEmail: sandraleefranks@gmail.comWriting website: Justonegoodidea.substack.com
