Enamored with Thomas Edison from an early age, Kevin Donlin dreamed his future would center around working solo and for himself. For Kevin, this is the definition of making it — and he’s doing just that, as a copywriter and marketing advisor.

Welcome to Making It! This weekly show explores the lives and stories of entrepreneurs as they share their unique perspectives on their success and the path to making it. 

Kevin Donlin is the founder of Client Cloning Systems and has helped nearly 1,300 entrepreneurs and business owners land their ideal clients.

“I think the dumb simple secret of my success is I’ve just never quit.”

Kevin Donlin

Kevin Donlin has been involved in marketing since 1994, when he sold one of the first ebooks online, payable by check and you had to mail it to a post office box. That was e-commerce in the beginning! From 1995 to 1998, he was Webmaster for FedEx.com, where he worked with the pioneers of online marketing.

Since 1998, he’s been a copywriter and marketing advisor for clients in North America, delivering sales gains of more than $1 million on multiple occasions with direct mail and online marketing. He’s been interviewed by ABC-TV, Fox News, NBC News, CBS Radio in Los Angeles and New York, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fortune magazine, Entrepreneur magazine, and too many others to list here.

He’s the author or co-author of five books on marketing, and he’s always up for sharing some of his latest tips and tactics to grow your business.
