How This Freelance Copywriter Lands Clients Will Blow Your Mind!

[100k]

So I came across this guy on another forum (WF) ... he came across like he really knew his copywriting.

I decided I'd hire him for a quick job, and I was really surprised when he replied my email with a video.

You can check it out below:

I've never come across anything like it. I'm sure 95% of freelancers don't do it.... this could be a really awesome way to sell yourself and stand out from the crowd. Did he land me as a client? He sure did .

This is what I plan to do as well after i read THIS article - http://www.rich20something.com/hacking-elance-the-step-by-step-breakdown-to-making-23700-in-4-weeks/

Will have to test and tell though,
I think its going to make you stand out.

Great idea, I am going to look into using this myself.

Very impressive way to stand out -- your 9 competitors send over 9 emails, you send over a video. Who will stand out?

How did he do on the job?

How did he do on the job?

It is pretty sick, it def. caught my attention.

He uploaded the video today, I hired him today.... I'll make sure to come back and leave details of the quality of his copy when he delivers it.

Here is the final copy.

What are your thoughts? Is it worth the $300 price tag? Personally... I think its not worth more than $100.... but he did one hell of a job selling himself and thus managed to get me to fork over my money for something I'm kinda regretting now lol... he has a powerful queen!

The dude pitched you via video, you seem disproportionally impressed by that. That copy might hurt you more than help you to be honest.


Blog articles actually worth a darn: No one cares about how to train a dog to stand on two legs. Sorry to say.

But if you put a dog on a rocket sled and shoot him off a cliff -- now that's a great visual and a flood of potential traffic coming to you.

We can tie the rocket sled pooch back to dog training later, that's the easy part.

A brand. Literally something of value that can not be touched. It can only be felt.

People get strong feelings from your content, and they tie it back to you. It's why kids feel good about Disney and old people feel like kids drinking a Coke or riding a Harley. Now you can have it too.

Viral content does this. Regular articles don’t really do this at all. Unless of course, you actually want to be associated with boredom.

Cringe material right there.
