What’s Working Now In Freelance Copywriting? [June 2021]

!

Uh oh... Covid-19 changed copywriting forever.

The question is...

What’s Working Now In Copywriting?

...And How Can You Position Yourself For Runaway Success As The Vaccines Roll Out And The World Opens Up Again?

Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.

Where Some See Problems,

Others See Opportunities

Fred Smith started shipping packages with FedEx in 1973 right as the oil embargo began.

The oil embargo meant rising fuel costs - not the best time to start an overnight shipping company.

It’s no wonder Fred almost went bankrupt in the years following.

But partly thanks to his ad campaign - FedEx: when it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight - by 1980, profits hit $38.7 million.

History is filled with inspiring stories like this.

Recessions, oil embargos, stock market crashes and pandemics aren’t the problems you think they are

In fact, they bring immense opportunities for growth and success - if you play your cards right

Steve Jobs launched the first-generation iPod in October 2001 in the wake of the dot-com bust of 2000 - but that didn’t stop him from making it wildly successful.

IBM began in the middle of the 1911 two-year stock market panic.

Brothers Walt and Roy Disney incorporated Walt Disney Productions right as the almost 4-year Great Depression was kicking off.

Look, I get it -

For many people, the last year has been one of the most chaotic, unpredictable and painful years of their entire lives.

We've had 180,748,982 coronavirus cases...

...and 3,915,541 deaths...

...and the numbers continue to rise.

It’s a heartbreaking tragedy on a massive scale.. and we're swimming in fear, uncertainty, doubt and confusion as a result.

But that doesn’t mean there’s no opportunities to move forward and grow.

In fact:

Some of the best opportunities you’ll ever see (maybe in your entire life) are right in front of you at this very moment...

You just need to know where to look.

That’s where this bundle comes in.

It's 15 interviews with some of the world's top copywriters and marketers - all on the topic of what's working now in copywriting.

The interviews were recorded in May or June 2021 so it’s probably the most up-to-date training in the world on what’s working now in copywriting (as of this writing).

Each interview runs for 30-50 minutes and carries a gold mine of the latest insights and ideas that copywriters can use to get more clients, make more money and build a better life.

It’s for smart, ambitious copywriters who see opportunities where others see only problems.

Copywriters who believe - just as I do - that fortunes are made in uncertain times like these. 

Copywriters who want to create their own luck by making the best of a tough situation.

Copywriters who want to use the fear and chaos of the last 18 months to come out ahead... stronger, wealthier, wiser and more free.

If that’s you,  join me in these interviews and find out what’s working NOW in copywriting

Here Are The Experts And Here’s
What They’re Going To Teach You:

  • How he’s growing his copywriting business FAST without using the same old tired, worn out copywriting strategies everyone uses
  • How to take “the road less traveled” in your marketing so that your clients and customers see you as a heroic leader instead of a “me too” copywriting hamster

Jon Benson | Invented the Video Sales Letter

Invented the world's first "ugly" video sales letter, or VSL. The VSL went on to do well over $12B annually for marketers in virtually every online industry.

  • The marketing medium that's skyrocketed in use in the last 12 months (if you want to cut through the clutter, focus on THIS medium)
  • How to NOT be tone-deaf as a copywriter in the post-covid era (if you get this wrong, you'll lose people before you get to your pitch)
  • How Jon uses "NLP driven" questions to leverage deep, primal emotions in people (remember, people buy on emotion and justify with logic so you better be good at getting their emotions going)
  • Jon's unique approach to artificial intelligence (and why most AI-copywriting tools get it wrong)
  • How to use chaos to your advantage in 2021 and beyond (chaos brings incredible opportunities - IF you know where to look)

Jon comes up with more creative ideas that
sell than just about anyone I know.
