    My journey to freelance copywriting

    EXECUTION 
    Quick update - Cashvertising is here! Actually got here a few days earlier than expected. I'm making it a goal to finish it by the end of the week / early next week. Almost done with SinisterLex's Udemy course on Freelancing and reading through this thread by Joe: NOTABLE! - 6-Figures In 12...

    Quit my job

    EXECUTION 
    Best of luck to you OP! A ballsy move but sometimes that's what we need. Were you a morning person before that? I REALLY struggle with waking up early.

    EXECUTION 
    Definitely working through the mental barriers. The best way to break them, I think, will be to just take action. Thanks for reading!

    My journey to freelance copywriting

    EXECUTION 
    Hello fellow Fastlaners, I will admit I was scared. Scratch that. TERRIFIED to start this thread. See, like many of you I have been burned in the past. I have tried things (the wrong things probably) and haven't really succeeded quite yet. I didn't want to start a thread and make a fool of...

    Starting a Copywriting Freelance Business. How well do I sell myself?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm 100% scared of the risk. I've been burned in the past before and failed and I admit, I am still a bit scarred from it. I'm still trying to figure this part out. I want to reach out to more potential users and understand if it is indeed a need / a pain point. I have three options for...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished listening to it and loved it. Ever since MJ started the book with the fact that we are currently slaves, I was hooked. It is something I've always said and believed in - slavery isn't gone, it is just presented in a different way. I've always disliked the script. Didn't love...

    Fastest way to Soft Proof/Put out a App?

    @LamboKing as @Hadrian suggested above, your best bet might be to create a web app first. Probably cheaper and easier to get up and running quickly. Another option is to create a prototype. If you are good with the UI and design, you could create an Invision Prototype and use something like...

    This what MJ often talks about. The cancer situation (forget the actual word) where when a person has cancer, nothing else will matter. All bullshit is highlighted and the person only focuses on what they care about. The other side of that too is that if you find someone that has the cure to...

    I don't think you really need an app for this though. It is something you could already do in a forum for example. What would the benefit of the app be? Apart from the mobility, I suppose.

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Appreciate the detailed and honest response. I am currently contemplating giving a SaaS idea a shot or freelancing a shot first (to also learn to sell more through copywriting). This is helpful. Thank you!

    @biophase what are some "indirect" skills that you think are must have for eCommerce? i.e. Copywriting, marketing, SEO, etc.

    Starting a Copywriting Freelance Business. How well do I sell myself?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Isn't freelancing still a good way to get out of the 9-5? Also a good way to get your feet wet on the entrepreneur mindset and creating value on your own for your direct clients/customers instead of through an employer? You do it @SquatchMan, I don't just yet. Would you agree on the above? Or not?

    I don't know who Alex Becker is but Tai Lopez seems like a scam to me. At least the stuff I have read about him, he seems like the guy that just got to make money online by telling people how to make money online...

    Focusing on a niche could be interesting. Comedian's journeys into standup for example. Or an entrepreneurs journey into success. But the latter there is quite a bit of already (EoFire - which I am not a big fan of anymore, but it is a highly listened podcast, and also what Tom Bilyeu is doing...

    Potentially. I'm always interested in hearing people's journeys for example, or how they accomplished a particular task/project/success. Things like that could be interesting. Think progress thread, but in your storytelling format. The questions I would also pose to you: what problem do you...

    As @cwalto12 said, this sounds kinda like Vine. It also just sounds like podcasts, but with videos (semi like Youtube). My question then is - how is this unique? How is it different from all of the above?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is actually really helpful. I appreciate the honesty and the feedback. For me it was definitely been a mindset thing and limiting beliefs that have truly held me back in the past. I have taken countless action before, probably the wrong actions, and that has also "scarred" me. Working...

    My copy of cashvertising actually just shipped. Should be here by June 7th :). Pretty pumped to give it a read. This is very valuable. Thank you. That is something that I, myself, need to learn to do a bit more. Sell. Not just myself, but also whatever I create. I am trying to decide if...
