Case Study: The "Weird" Niche Where This Copywriter Will Almost TRIPLE His Income in Just 1 Year...

Cris is a member of my Get Copywriting Clients Masterclass who's really "gone after it". And in his first year of marketing himself using the methods I reveal inside the Masterclass, he's set to almost triple his previous year's copywriting income. 

But here's the weird part...

The niche he's chosen is, to put it lightly, is just flat-out STRANGE. Not something you'll hear the big copywriter training programs touting as a big-time opportunity. But he's generating income--and lots of it--by tapping into this hidden gold mine...

Listen in to find out where Cris is making all this newfound bank (and how you can do the same)...

The Game Changer: How to Get Off the "Just One More Course" Merry-Go-Round and Start Getting Paying Copywriting Clients NOW...

Sharon couldn't stop buying copywriting training courses. Like many of us, she dumped wads of cash into learning the next "big thing". But what she WASN'T doing was getting clients. And she was stuck in an endless (and outright desperate) loop of "just one more course" while moving farther and farther away from her goals...

Plus (as if that wasn't bad enough) she was dealing with a bad case of Imposter Syndrome. Could she ACTUALLY do this? Would people really pay her to write for them?

What she needed was a blueprint to break out of this loop and start getting clients. So we started working together. And as she so eloquently put it--"IT WAS A GAME CHANGER!"

Listen now to hear her story inside...

The 2-Word Subject Line That Gets 60% Open Rates...

For years, I've been using a secret little subject line that's been getting INCREDIBLE open rates for my copywriting students' cold email marketing campaigns. In fact, one of them recently got a jaw-dropping 60% of her emails opened!
