    Hi everyone, I’m excited to finally be a part of REAL like-minded copywriters and business owners. I heard about the club in Perry Marshall’s interview with John, and was totally blown away that a place like this exists and it doesn’t cost a fortune.
    So I’m Shlomi, an electrical engineer by profession that got fed up with the corporate world and…Read more

      Hi Shlomi: Congratulations on taking action. If I may give you one piece of advice (realizing that you didn’t ask for any) I would suggest that you pick a niche to start with. It is easier to get clients if you are specializing in their niche. I would also suggest that you look into John’s Freelance Course. There is a link in the right…Read more

As you find success with one client your self-confidence will also grow, so you will find it easier to speak to other prospects.

      As far as marketing yourself, as I just told…Read more

      Hi Ari: Yes, the real world gets in the way of good copy once in a while. John always says that if the client (which could be your gf in this case) likes a letter it is the kiss of death. So, the fact that she is nervous about sending it out may be a good sign.

      I would suggest, if you have a letter or script for a video that you want to…Read more
