    Medicare Insurance Sales With Assurance IQ (Progress Thread)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Progress Report Happy Wrestlemania weekend to my fellow WWE fans! Today was my first day on phones, and I'm happy to say that the first call I received resulted in a sale! The call lasted about 45 minutes, and I'm being paid: a $100 application fee $40 in commission (this will increase as I...

    Medicare Insurance Sales With Assurance IQ (Progress Thread)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    After moving all the way from Maryland to Florida in 2020, the pandemic hit my family like a ton of bricks. My husband and I both lost our jobs, my copywriting business dried up almost completely, my son was diagnosed with autism, my husband was hospitalized with COVID for 4 weeks, and we lost...

    Scaling a Fitness Copywriting Biz

    EXECUTION 
    So I've made some progress. To start, I'm targeting personal trainers with NO clients who HATE selling. Teach them how to build confidence and win their first few clients for free, then sell them the marketing systems they need to retain and scale that client base. I've been testing out free...

    Scaling a Fitness Copywriting Biz

    EXECUTION 
    This first post in this thread is more of an update than anything, but I'm taking this idea off of the shelf I stuck it on back in 2013. I've been MIA from the forum (and entrepreneurship in general) for a few years, so here's a quick-ish catching up... Skip to the bottom if you don't feel like...

    I'm gonna be a dad.. Did I just lose the Fastlane?

    INTRO 
    Congratulations and welcome to the forum! Lots of people make the mistake of letting their children be their reason (excuse) for their lack of success and drive... Don't be that parent. Don't EVER let yourself be that parent. It's a cop-out, and it's damaging to your relationship with your...

    Top post on Reddit today

    HOT! 
    I made a Reddit post yesterday offering to tear down people's landing pages- problem hunting for my copywriting and web design business. In addition to the 14 people that asked for my help, I got a bunch of down votes, a comment from one of the mods about how my post belonged in their...

    Graduating from Upwork - From Zero to $1,000 in 5 Days

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thanks for the replies everyone! In the months since I posted this, I've steadily maintained a load of 1-2 projects per week, each project being worth $2000+. I'm still only using Reddit for marketing. Really digging in and seeing how I can make the most out of it before investing any time or...

    Graduating from Upwork - From Zero to $1,000 in 5 Days

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    First: "He" is a She. :) Second: Luck had nothing to do with it. Calling me lucky is an insult to the years and money I've put into my copywriting skill. I started copywriting when I was 14, and I worked my a$$ off to get good at it. You think I built my portfolio and won clients because I got...

    Exactly. Solve people's problems first, and the money follows. Zig Ziglar said it best: "You'll get all you want in life if you help enough people get what they want."

    Graduating from Upwork - From Zero to $1,000 in 5 Days

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thanks. I'm no web developer, so I typically use Unbounce or Instapage. If the client doesn't have an Unbounce/Instapage account, I'll send them a PNG mockup and create a prototype website with Wix or InVision for them to hand over to a 3rd party developer. And yes, I've written lead magnets...

    Graduating from Upwork - From Zero to $1,000 in 5 Days

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    After 2 years and more than $100k made, I deleted my Upwork profile last week. I'd been pussyfooting around taking my copywriting business off of Upwork for months. My workload had gone down, my feedback score was sinking, and I was getting frustrated with Upwork in general, but every day I had...
