Do you suck at writing copy?

If you just had to think about it... you do

..I'll help you out with the hard questions..

Here's why you suck at writing copy (and how to fix it)

You don't write enough

This is 90% of the problem, you aren't writing...

Tweets
Emails
Landing pages
VSLs
FB/IG posts
Ads

You should be reading and writing all of the above things every single day

And don't give me this...

"Nick, I don't have any clients!"

Cry me a river

Guess who SHOULD NOT be selling copy if you can't even sell your service... YOU

Seriously, copywriting is selling

and if you can't even sell yourself to a client, why should you get the GIFT of selling their product?

This is the numero uno thing that copywriters struggle with

I did too

So, what did I do? I spent my time messaging copywriters and asking them how to get clients

Pathetic...

I SHOULD have spent time crafting my pitch and selling every single day

...and you should be too

You learn SALES by REPETITION

No book will teach you as fast as repeated pitching will

I would be 2 years ahead right now if I had done this, don't be 2016 Nick

So, here's your game plan...

1. Sign up for all major publishers and their branches (find my old tweets on this)
2. Start re-writing their VSLs and emails
3. Get on LinkedIn and start prospecting with the marketing directors/publishers of these companies
