Default more work than you can handle? - 06-22-2005, 05:14 PM

Hi Everyone,

If you've got more copywriting work than you can handle, I'd like to show you a way where you can still get this work done and keep a majority of the profits...even if you're too busy to do it.

You see, I'm trying to build up my portfolio and get some good testimonials for my work. I've been writing copy off and on for the last 5 years, so I do know a thing or two about writing sales pulling copy. But I really need to get some fresh work under my belt so I can get my writing business up and going again.

If you don't want to send extra work away, I'd be willing to give you the majority of the profits for sending it to me. You'll still get paid almost like you did it yourself, and I'll get some examples and testimonials for my portfolio. We can discuss the details of the profit split, but I was thinking of somewhere around 70-30. You keep 70%.

The reason I'm willing to give away most of the profits to you is because I'd like to build up my portfolio as fast as possible. And I think this will be a much quicker way than fighting through the sales resistance of not having one.

Interested?

Send me an email and I can let you know a little more about my background and what I can do for you: ryan@doublesalesguaranteed.com

Ryan,

If you're looking to build up your portfolio and aren't getting many bites here, I recommend you do some pro bono work for some non-profits. I did that, and I still do often when I can, because I believe the universe has a way of evening things out (i.e. Karma, what goes around comes around, etc....and it's the right thing to do).

Even though I've been extremely busy these days, I still manage to work with a charity org every so often to help out. For a book builder (and testimonials), nothing beats it, IMHO.

Hey, we all make good money freelancing, so why not give some back every so often.

And if the "feel good" scenario doesn't strike you, you may be able to deduct fair market value on your taxes. Of course, check with your accountant, as I am NOT a tax advisor.

All the best,

John Ritskowitz

You know I can't find any charities that want a writer.

Every time I look, I find some office lady who would get her feelings hurt if they had someone else write for them. Go figure.

You have to find the little charities that can't afford an office lady - or an office for that matter. Don't look for established charities. Look for local charities that want to do a lot of good stuff but are having a hard time finding the resources.
