The time has come when advertising has in some hands reached the status of a science. It is based on fixed principles and is reasonably exact. The causes and effects have been analyzed until they are well understood. The correct methods of procedure have been proved and established. We know what is most effective, and we act on basic laws. Advertising, once a gamble, has thus become, under able direction, one of the safest of business ventures. Certainly, no other enterprise with comparable possibilities need involve so little risk.

An incredibly funny, witty and inspiring book that will help you see the world with fresh eyes. Whether you're a copyrighter, a salesperson or a business owner - this book will be like gold dust to you. It goes way beyond other books covering these topics, touching on subjects such as ethics, spirituality, and even romance. The audiobook presentation of the book is also one of the best I've heard. Narrated by lively professional actors and brought to life with sound effects and music. Don't hesitate to purchase this book. You won't regret it.

If you have a hard time hearing don't waste your time
The content was very good, but the background sounds and music were unnecessary. If you have a hard time hearing this book is very frustrating to listen to. It is very difficult to hear what the narrator is saying when the background noise is just as loud as they are talking. Buy the book if you really want to get the messages in the book

over two years, I've purchased 300+ business and self help books from audible. BY FAR this has been the most audio appealing book I've bought. The fact that the advice and pointers are revealing makes this book even better.
I hardly write reviews nor rate, but for this book I did. No B.S.

Unexpected & Amazing Insights From A Master
This was my first purchase off Audible.com. I never heard of Ray H. Williams before. However, as a required resource to achieve one of my goals, I have decided to give it a try and buy “The Wizard of Ads”.
What a good decision this proved to be. While it’s style is very different from mainstream copywriting teachers like John Carlton and Dan Kennedy, I have learned in four hours more usable insights about copywriting, sales & marketing than I can usually learn in a 3 day seminar.
The second part of the book was almost entirely about designing the right life philosophy. I wasn’t really expecting for this, but the insight brought by Ray confirmed many of my beliefs and made me reconsider a few key notions I had about life.
The final lesson, the “Letter to Garcia” was brilliant. The essence of this small essay is that the key of success is focusing on one thing and doing it, without further excuses. The reason why most people lack success is because of the countless reasons & excuses they find just not to do a single task if it’s not to their liking.
Now I’ve bought Secret Formulas of the Wizard of Ads and I’m looking forward to see what further wisdom Ray can teach me. I highly recommend “The Wizard of Ads” to anyone looking for a crash course in advertising & sales mentality and how to succeed in a changing world.
Be the kind of men who can “deliver the letter to Garcia” and nothing in this world can stop you from achieving your dreams.
