Wink Just In For A Visit - 08-15-2006, 10:34 AM

Hello all...It's been a while since I was here.

Copywriting wasn't quite paying enough to feed my kids, so I'm back to the old screwdriving machine repair (office equipment). I still do a little copywriting, but since I have less time, I'm focussing my efforts more on creative writing and articles (it pays less, but I believe I'm better at it).

I see some new faces...and JP is as busy as ever (I still get his newsletters).


I've got it, You need it, I'm selling it at:

Eric,
At least your being honest about it...

Half the folks who come here claiming to be the gods of copywriting are just blowing hot air up everyones skirt (Harlan not included, of course).

No, it really doesn't.

Just ask some of the people who have turned their careers around overnight.

How Did A Hairdresser Become An EIGHT FIGURE Copywriter In Months! He Had No Reputation, No Track Record, No Previous History?

I should know I am that EX-HAIRDRESSER!

Cause I had to feed the kids.

Cause I had to pay the mortage.

Cause I had to live.

Cause ...

There is a secret. Harlan will know it.

A few others do also.

Sadly ...most copywriters will never know it.

By the way ... My very own six-figure apprentice know the secret as well (he pulled in over 6 figures in less than 12 months ... FACT!).

FACT: There is no cash in jobbing copywriting!

FACT: Theres a ton of cash in the secret life of a secret copywriter.

Love ...

FACT...

I did my first copywriting assignment for a paying copywriting client between haircutting clients!

Don't give me that duff that it can't be done ... IT CAN BE DONE ... when you understand the secret.

FACT ...

I kinda look at it like this...

If all my internet marketing fails, I can always fall
back on being a copywriter.

There is always enough work to stay busy if your
aggressive.

Those who are not making it in the copy world are
just not making enough offers to prospects. Make
more offers, get more clients. It's really not that
tough.

The problem lies in being able to close the client.

If your skills are lacking there, then it may be best
to mess with screwdrivers and tools. Oh boy, I definitely
don't miss the days of being on the job site at 6 am.

Eric,

Harlan is right.

Literally overnight you can become a successful copywriter.

If I did it, and I don't even consider myself a copywriter
(I'm a salesman), then I'm sure you can as well.

You just have to apply the good ol Nike slogan to your career.
