Experimented with ChatGpt for this email all i did was edit it to a lower grade so it's more readable.

I'm going to delve into client outreach tomorrow, as today was a busy day and I wasn't able to spend much time on it. I am also considering GoHighLevel, as it appears it could potentially be useful in the future. Currently, my priority is email copy for clients, but I aim to expand into managing email lists and other forms of advertising for businesses.

Delve into client acquisition first so you don't run out of time?

I'm curious why you'll start with outreach too.

Try getting email copy clients first before considering what else you'd sell those clients.


Some questions to ask yourself:

How do you help, what do you help them with, how do you do it?

Are you already a good enough email copywriter to help them?

What do people currently pay for that indicates they may pay for your service? Where do those people hangout?

It seems I accidentally used the wrong word. I meant to say I will start looking for email copy clients.

How I can help them - I help by writing sales emails for clients, freeing up time for busy business owners who do not have the time to write their own emails, and utilizing my skills so that they may not have to write emails for their business.

What I help them with - I help increase sales and customer engagement through emails.

How do I do it - I first have a conversation with the client to gather information about their business and niche. Then I do some research to write sales emails that can convert readers into buyers.

Am I good enough to help clients now? Yes, I believe I have the skills to help clients now but still nervous to take on my first client.

What are people paying for that suggests they may pay for my services? People are always looking for and paying for copywriters, especially email copywriters, which indicates that there is a demand for my skill set in the market.

Where do these potential clients gather? These potential clients can be found in Facebook groups, LinkedIn, Upwork, and business networking events.

Revive Your Joints From The Dead With CBD

Hey CBD Bud

I hope you're in high spirits and not in writhing agony from aches and pains.

Well, I just wanted to drop in some good news that might put a smile back on your face (and your joints).

CBD is the superhero your joints have been waiting for!

Right now your joints are a damsel in distress or mansel in distress that needs a hero.

And CBD will swoop you away and give you relief from all your aches and pains.

You might be thinking that CBD sounds too good to be true and that it'll cost ya a fortune.

But hold your horses, my friend.

Now It's true that some CBD products can cost more than your average bottle of pain meds.

But it's not the price you're paying for.

You're paying for relief, natural ingredients and a product that's been lab tested to make sure it's not up to snuff.

So why not give your joints (and wallet) a break and give CBD a shot? Trust us, your joints will thank you. [Link]

Another try of making emails with ChatGPT speeds up writing emails tremendously. Today, I created an Upwork account and joined several copywriting job board Facebook groups. My goal is to find my first client through either Upwork or one of these Facebook groups.

We know it’s tough to keep up with your weight-loss goals, especially when you're trying to balance a busy schedule and have a social life.

But don't worry—we've got your back with these 4 tips for keeping the pounds off.

1. Remember: Blue plates are better than white plates.

This is because they make you feel fuller faster, which means you end up eating less overall. So go ahead and get creative with your plate colors at home—you'll be glad you did!

2. Drink water before every meal.

Water helps fill you up and keeps your appetite under control so you can stick to smaller portions of food throughout the day.

It's also good for your skin, hair, and nails—plus it has zero calories!

3. Eat slowly.

This one might seem obvious, but it's easy to forget about when there are so many other things on our minds (like the fact that we're going out tonight).

But just slowing down when you eat can help you stop when your body feels full instead of overdoing it at the table or in front of the TV at home while watching Netflix.

4. STOP watching a show while you eat.

Watching shows while you eat makes your brain unconsciously eat more. As you get more invested you realize your food is gone and you're looking in your fridge for more.

Now some of these tips you’ve probably heard before and that's great. Sometimes it’s not learning something new that helps us but reminding us of something crucial that we forgot.

If you want all the steps to change your lifestyle and tone your belly with ease go here [Link]

Today I spent some time getting used to Copy.AI and learning how to also integrate my style of writing to make it more entertaining and fun to read. It's honestly crazy all the different prompts and basically, full emails it writes for you in seconds. Part of me does feel like it's cheating and I'm not completely learning the skill. But I can't deny the fact that AI helps tremendously and it's not going away. So I need to learn how to harness it and help people with it the best way I can.

This Pups got Skills!

How’s it going, my fellow dog owner,

Is your pup a wild child? Do you find yourself constantly saying no or come but end up getting a blank stare?

Well, I think it may be time to turn those ruff days into new pawsitive experiences.

Come take a look at our Dog Training University which has been called the Harvard of Obedience Schools.

Our Proven and innovative system will turn your little troublemaker into the Dog of your dreams.

Just Imagine:

• No more embarrassing moments at the dog park
• Your pup will be the shining star of obedience class
• Watch your furry friend transform into a well-behaved pup

So give yourself and your pup the gift of a stress-free and lovely life [Link].

So I applied for a couple of jobs on Upwork today in hopes of getting my first client. I also decided to start posting copywriting content on Twitter as well. Building my social media platforms will be the key to building a pipeline of people requesting to work with me.

Broken Arm, Renewed Spirit: A Lesson Learned from Childhood

“Bro your Arm looks like a lightning Bolt”

Back when I was in 4th grade my friend accidentally broke my arm.

We were playing tag on his driveway after coming home from school.

He managed to tag me pretty easily as we played and I was getting sick of it.

So in my head, I thought I could turn into the flash and leave him in the dust.

After I tagged him I took off like a rocket at full speed.

But as I ran my friend actually caught up to me faster than I expected.

And not only tagged me but pushed me.

The push made me lose my footing and I crashed and burned with all my speed onto his driveway.

When I got up my friend started freaking out (the pain hadn’t set in yet).

I looked at my arm and nearly collapsed at the sight.

My arm looked like harry potters forehead scar.

To say I cried was an understatement my shrieks echoed throughout the neighborhood.

I was rushed to the hospital where another nightmare begins but that story is for another day.

So why am I telling you this?

After I broke my arm I viewed the world differently.

I realized how fragile the human body is and why it's important for us to take care of it.

This is why I’d like to pass you an invitation to our new Total Body Renewal Program.

Total Body Renewal Program teaches how to make your body feel amazing and look amazing.

How is your time split between writing the copy and sending proposals/ interacting in communities?

How is your time split between writing the copy and sending proposals/ interacting in communities?

My time is split between writing and reading copy in the morning 9-11am and 10-11 pm at night. And interacting with communities between the hours of 3-4pm.

My time is split between writing and reading copy in the morning 9-11am and 10-11 pm at night. And interacting with communities between the hours of 3-4pm.

So that's 2:1 getting better writing copy vs getting better acquiring clients. Can you reverse that?

If you're going to write for free for two hours a day then why not find some clients and do a bit of work for them free to get case studies and real-world experience?

It's the results of your copy that will help you acquire clients. Getting results will help.

Yeah, I can reverse that it makes no sense to just write for myself instead of actually helping other people and testing my writing out in the wild.

If I write it's better to just write for actual case studies and experience.

That would be the actual way of getting better at copywriting. I'll make sure to spend more time connecting and finding clients rather than writing.

 

[Wizza134]

So, a couple of class assignments took way longer than they should have today. But nevertheless, I managed to interact with more communities on Facebook today where I will be more likely to find clients. I made a post in each new group I found today introducing myself. I'm also planning on posting my first piece of valuable content into a couple of those groups tomorrow. I may be quite new to copywriting but I'm sure I know a couple of things that can help a lot of people in these groups.

SuperBowl Pitch

Hey, are you ready for the Superbowl this Sunday?

The time to party hard with your friends and root for your favorite (Cough) (Cough) Chiefs while shirtless in the living room.

It’s inspiring seeing all these players who worked so hard to make it to the Superbowl and play their absolute hardest.

(Now please brace yourself for my cheesy sales pitch)

The power of these players is similar to the power of words to help you make a touchdown with your customers in your store.

I happen to be a state-of-the-art and finely-built Email copywriter that can help you make touchdowns with ease.
If you’d like I would be happy to write your sales emails for you.

Would you set up a call later this week to discuss the next steps?

What did you post?

1st post - Just a small reminder, that it's good just to be grateful for the people each day who read your emails and copy. Because that's another person who tuned into what you are saying about the brand.

2nd post - Most people aren’t ready to buy right now as they have a problem. But eventually, their problem matures and usually gets worse. Emails tip the scale to help them finally get the solution to the problem which would be your product.

Not sure if it's as valuable as can be but I thought it was good.

What are those interactions like?


I skimmed your copy and spotted a few typos. I'd probably also join a few of the sentences up a bit more rather than spread them across a couple of lines.

I still think you should focus on getting a client, maybe even spending all your time on that and leaving the copy aside for now? Maybe even put the copy into tags and turn this into a progress thread to get clients and build your business?
