    Describe what being a "Millionaire" feels like.

    HOT! 
    Cool, thanks for your insight. It caught my attention because 10% on a business sale is pretty significant cash. It seems like being a broker for business sales could be a lot more lucrative than real estate or a similar commission based "connecting" job.

    Damn, brokers get 10%? How hard is their job?

    I'm a copywriter not a proofreader!

    MINDSET RANT 
    I can't imagine writing copy without editing the hell out of it. To me it all comes down to the end goal. Sales are fragile. I learned this lesson when I was writing daily emails for a client. Every time I emailed he doubled his sales (or more). Except once. That day, the email got 0 sales...

    Feeling stuck in a rut, any life advice (19 yo)?

    MINDSET RANT 
    I love something Gary Vee says, which is at 19, you could absolutely screw up the next 10 years of your life completely, and still be young as F*ck with plenty of potential. Not saying you should do that but it can be a good way to take pressure off of yourself. I recommend making some goals...

    So...I got an Instagram DM from a musician worth $50 million

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Okay. Just talking about my own experience– maybe it is just a myth for me.

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Yeah it is a myth that doing something for free makes a person more likely to give you a referral or something. If anything it just presents you as someone willing to do something for free. So that is the kind of referral you can get. The fact is, this is rich enough that whatever you charge...

    Wait... so where are you finding these people? They have posted job opportunities on LinkedIn? As in they are looking to hire someone ON LinkedIn to write for them? Are these one-off jobs or full-time employment? Personally I would not apply to actual job positions as a freelancer. Why haven't...

    Copywriting Contest... (RESULTS POSTED!)

    HOT! MARKETING 
    My theories: 1) It doesn't make a ridiculous, tired claim everyone has heard before (well, it does, but not as bad as the others) 2) It calls out an emotional, very hot-button problem people have... most people live mediocre lives and know it 3) Most importantly– it matches the tone and style...

    Okay, I hope this isn't inappropriate to keep posting. I'm not writing this for the prize money, since the competition is over. This has just really gotten me thinking and then I ended up writing a lot of shit as practice, and since it's already done... why not post it? I would test my old ad...

    Hey MJ– here's my entry. It's just copy, but use it if you want. Obviously, some details will need to be changed: –– Look– your life is passing you by… When are you finally going to WAKE UP and start making a lot of money? Do you like struggling? Do you like not doing what you actually...

    Sales is the key. You need to learn sales to make money. But it's the most beautiful skill in the world. The better you get at it, the more money you make. What's better than that? Ultimately, probably a few things. Practically, I can't think of any.
