If it isn’t on your site yet you can upload a PDF. If you don’t know how, there is a link to the instructions in the “Member’s Guide” (another link in the right column, but closer to the top).

I’ve been writing copy for several years now and have gotten complacent with the few clients that I have. What suggestions do you have for attracting new clients?

Hi Aaron: Unless your wife is a copywriter, I would not give it to her for advice.
I suggest you get John and Stan to review your letter. In order to do that you need to request a hot seat (link in the right-hand column). Thanks.
