I walked into our office with a huge smile on my face.

My investor was already there.
Looking unhappy.

Apparently it was about a message I sent the night before.

This is not a story about investors.

This is a story of how we broke Facebook and made $67,000 in one day 👇
This is the message I sent him the night before:

“We hit $4,000/day. I’m so happy. It’s a dream come true”.

You see… I’ve never made that much money in a whole month at the time.

And now I made it in ONE DAY.
So I was happy.

But he wasn’t.
Here’s what he told me:
“I’m very disappointed. You think $4K/day is the dream? I guess I should’ve invested in someone else”.

It felt like a knife.
Slicing through everything I ever believed in.

“But it’s freaking FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. In ONE DAY” - I protested.

He wasn’t convinced.
We had a 4-hour argument which ended with him saying:

“You can do more. Much much more. Don’t limit yourself”.

The next month he told me this sentence every single day.

It felt weird.
I felt not respected.
Insulted even.

But what came next changed my life forever.
At some point I stopped resisting. It felt like a hypnosis that changed who I am.

Instead of being insulted…
I became determined.

“I will show him what I’m really worth” is what went through my mind every single day.

It was pure ego. But…
I started pushing so hard…
Trying to figure ways to make more…

That a couple of months later…
I pushed so hard…

That we made $15K in one day.
I was happy…

But he still insisted that I could do more.

“More than $15K a day? You’re crazy”.

But he wasn’t. I was just weak.
Two months later we hit $67K/day.

Yes. You read it right.
$67,000 in one day.

And the only reason why it wasn’t more?
Is because we broke Facebook.

You see… we were running ads to our store. And Facebook had a limit of how much you could spend per day.

That limit was $35K…
And I hit it.

$35,000 PER DAY.
That’s crazy.

When we talked to a Facebook rep he said he can not raise it for us.

He was shocked that we hit it.

But I didn’t care.
I wasn’t in it for the money at that point.

I learned a valuable lesson.
And here it is:
We tend to limit ourselves based on what we “believe”.

But what we believe… is pure bullcrap.

It’s based on our life experiences. On our fears. On our insecurities.

On what others say about us…

But we can do more.
Always.

So here’s my advice to every single person reading:
Surround yourself with people who push harder than you.

Who make more money.
Who have a stronger mindset.

Because the difference between what you’re making today…
And 10 times more than that…

Is only your mindset.
It has nothing to do with skills.

NOTHING.

One last thing:
If you want to know HOW we scaled to $67,000/day…

While every other advertiser was scaling down…

Use these 4 words to sell anything.

It’s called “the 2-question close”

This works perfectly for people who suck at sales. Like me 👇
I’ve used this 2-question close to sell anything I needed to.

And while it’s not a “full system” that you’d want if you’re selling professionally…

It’s more than enough if you need a “quick fix”.

Are you ready?
Question 1: why me?

Let the prospect talk.
Don’t interrupt.

He’s gonna give you 50% of the ammunition you need to close.

When he’s done talking…
Ask the next question:

It took me 30 days to get my first 1,200 followers.

Then 21 days to get to 3,000.
But I learned the hard way…

That “good value”…

SUCKS when it comes to getting you followers.

But you still have to tweet it.
Because without it.. your account dies.

>>> A Thread 🧵 <<<
First - context:

My account is on Twitter since 2013.
That’s why many don’t believe this:

My first tweet was on August 6th.
That’s 51 days ago.

And it got 0 likes.
Zero replies.
Nothing. Crickets.

It’s painful when you feel like you’re talking to a wall.

But then…
Slowly I started figuring things out.

People suggested to…
• Do paid ads
• Pay for Retweets
• Beg big accounts for RTs

I didn’t do any of those.
100% of my growth here has been organic.

Not a penny spent.
No “small letters”. All clean.

So how did I do it?

Become the James Bond of copywriting…

Using a sneaky little trick…
Which includes…

• Stealing
• Copying
• Bashing

Without feeling guilty.

>>> A Thread 🧵 <<<
You probably already know the saying…

New copywriters write.

While experienced copywriters assemble.

But…

Even experienced copywriters get this wrong more often than they’d like to admit.

And it all starts with one word:
Competition.

Now.
If you ask a newbie what competition is?

You’ll get a danger sign blipping in their brain.

For them?
Competition = red ocean = stay away

But…
They don’t even understand competition.

Hell.
They can’t even say who their competitors are.

Can you? 👇

The number one MISTAKE Gumroad creators are guilty of…

Which could double their sales when fixed…

And it’s…
Drums…

The first button on their sales page.
Lemme tell you why.

>>> A Thread 🧵 <<<
Here are some numbers for you.

I am running cold traffic from FB ads.

Our checkout page conversion rate over all funnels is 40-60%.

People on Twitter posting their conversion rates being 2-10%.

How is that possible?!

Good question.
Get this:
Having a button at the top of your page is almost like having an exit button there.

Pretty much same numbers.

But why do I say that?
In order to understand…

We need to understand this…

Copywriting gurus are lying to you.

They say “use benefits not features”.

They are WRONG.
And because of their dusty by-the-book-techniques…

Your conversion rates suffer.

>>> A Thread 🧵 <<
This is not a click bait.
I mean it.

They’re wrong.
Let me explain why.
But before…

Let’s understand what features are…

And what benefits are…

Simply put:
Features

A list of things that are part of your product or service.

For example:

My service is copywriting.

Features:

• I write quickly
• I write persuasively
• I know how to do research

Those are benefits.

How to sell air (information) on Twitter using copywriting...

>>> A Thread 🧵 <<<
There are many elements to selling online.

- Scarcity
- Proof
- Testimonials
- Hooks
- Stories

And a lot of others.

But there's one nobody is talking about...

And if you're not able to sell...
It's most likely this one is missing:
And it's "value".

“vALuE?” You say with disgust. “That’s NOT my problem.”

I know. I know.
But…

When you’re selling air… erm… I mean… “information”…

A person can get the same information on YouTube for free - generally speaking. Right?

So…
