Default Orange Padawan Wanted - 07-25-2007, 10:23 AM

The Orange One Offers To Train One Young Punk For
FREE!

Not to train you as one of those copywriting clones but to be $20k writer like myself. To get big clients like I have. To get on-going commissions like I get. And to have cool dress sense like me and look cool

Guys I am looking for a orange padawan (sidekick I can beat now and then) to work at my side for a while.

You must not be...
  • CRAP modern copywriter that copys everything that everyone elses copys.
  • Unimaginative boring as hell writer with a blunt pencil.
  • Have the imagination of a snail.
  • Better looking than me!
You must be...
  • Eccentricly passioniate about writing.
  • Artistically crazy about learning.
  • Fabulously good to get along with.
  • Thick skinned so when I kick your arse you'll still say thank you master.
  • BE ON TIME ...
  • Beg me for mercy when I hammer you down
  • Uglier than me!
I need you to prepare, research and write first drafts.

YOU MUST HAVE experience, no freshies or newbies please. Send me all of your expereince in your email.

If I have to ask you a ton of stuff in your email I will delete it. Sell me on your services big time by showing off your conversion skills in the copy.

I will pay you absolutely zero in coins ... NOTHING.

BUT ...

I will train you to a level that will make you rich faster than 99% of any copywriter I know!

You will have open access to me for as long as we work together.

Interested?

Email me at alan AT orangebeetle.com
or
leave a message here for me to read.

P.s ... this is a help as needed basis, you still carry on doing your own thing.

Lots of love.

Alan

Alan,

I had two quick questions for you:

1) It was somewhat unclear to me. Are you looking for a copy cub based in the UK (close to your location) or just accessible by phone/email?

2) How many drafts would you estimate you would need your Padawan to do? One per day? One per month?

In my opinion, it might help some people get an idea of how much of a time commitment that they would be making to you -- in addition to doing what other work they need to do to cover their own expenses.

Thanks,

Mike

P.S. For some of the newer board members reading this... Alan is considered to be one of the top copywriters in the world. It's rare that a copywriter of his skill level is willing (or able) to take on an apprentice.

Mike

ANSWER 1. Anywhere in the Universe is good as long as you have email.

ANSWER 2. No idea. To get my brain for free.... they'd better be commited, dead simple.

Alan

It must be tempting for those young copywriting cubs out there to...
"have cool dress sense like me and look cool"

But Alan I think you're going to have a lot of trouble finding someone uglier than you!

THANK YOU

Over 30 of you have replied privately to my post. Crikey-blimey... a lot of sifting to do now. I am grateful and will let one of you know by the end of the week.

As a side-note: Despite Cartoonman (above) appealing to me that he wasnt as good looking as my celtic self, I turned him away. Why? He sent me a photo as proof and to be honest ... not only was he not as good looking, he is probably the ugliest copywriter I have ever seen and cannot afford to scare clients to death!

Thank you everyone I am now closing this $1,000,000.00 dollar a year opportunity.

Love Alan

The Worlds Most Handsome Copywriter

You crack me up. But I wouldn't even consider taking cool lessons from a
Schizophrenic who totally left his cool factor in his plaid pants pocket.
