    Spent the day watching Photoshop tutorials on Youtube and did some practice as well. Here's what I did. I understood a little bit more about layers and how they work, once you get the hang of it and when there's somebody who knows how to explain, it's not too difficult. There are plenty of...

    @iizu That's a great suggestion but the problem is that I don't know anything about designing websites and what makes a website converting. My plan is to search for ads on newspapers that I could improve which includes redesigning the ad with Photoshop and writing better copy. I've only called...

    @iizu Great to see you too! Lol, you are right, they are there to keep the cruel winter in check. I thought I already read the thread but now when I look at it, it's totally new to me, reading it at the moment. Writing copy for stevedoring and logistic companies haven't even crossed my mind...

    @Nicoknowsbest Nothing really, but I thought I should focus on only one person at the time. Hell, almost anyone. :smile: I've checked my relatives, no one needing copy at the moment. If you are implying something, I'm not getting it, help me out :)

    @Nicoknowsbest You are right, I may have used more time with this guy than I should. I will call him soon again, if it's another yadda yadda phone call then I will leave it at that and start looking for others.

    "Next week" was actually two weeks later... Last Sunday I made him a sample of a welcoming letter for the email campaign, I called him a few moments ago but he was busy so I'm going to call him again in an hour and ask if he has seen the sample. I'm also going to ask him what he thought about...

    Now that I wrote the earlier post it got me thinking... The only sample I sent to him was about the newspaper ad. Maybe I could get him more excited if I sent him samples of the emails that could be on the campaign and better pictures of his products?

    I was able to reach the man and we talked for quite long. We didn't agree on anything though, but he told me that he likes the ideas I've told him. He asked me to send the samples for him again and that's what I did. I haven't reach back at him again yet but I'll call him next week. I feel...

    Gotta admit, I've been lazy for over a week and picked up the phone until today. I called the man I've been trying to reach who knows how many times. He was again in the middle of a meeting. We agreed that I call him tomorrow 1 pm. It's been difficult to get into conversation with him, if it...

    I clicked the little landscape picture next to the smiley picture on the little toolbar above the text box where you write your post which opens a little window where you past the URL of the image. The image wasn't an attached file in the post.

    @Nicoknowsbest @Andy Black I called the prospect today and he sounded excited when he remembered what we discussed a week ago. He had seen the examples I sent. He was in a middle of a meeting so the call wasn't long, we agreed that I'll call him on Monday. I've been stalking local business'...

    @Nicoknowsbest Okay. I deleted my Facebook account a year ago because of the noise. I may be putting it up again if there are other golden groups like @SinisterLex's though!

    @Nicoknowsbest True, damn I think you guys already told me that in previous posts, sorry for asking the same question! I tried searching the forum but couldn't find the thread. Was it a separate post? I'd like to take a look at it but haven't found it yet.

    Thanks @Andy Black, lessons were learned. It's funny how I never even thought about these things but during the conversation I was like "Hell, why didn't I prepare for this, shit I have nothing to show". By the way @Andy Black and @Nicoknowsbest, when you guys started your businesses did you...

    I went to the kebab restaurant after all. Felt so F*cking bad for being lazy. Luckily they are open till 10 PM. It wasn't a success though, I felt like the owner didn't understand what I meant by copywriting or "writing his website". He said he had been talking to a friend who's a web...
