The "Win-Win" Method For Beginner Freelance Copywriters
Welcome to my new and improved (red) newsletter.
Out with Daily Email Swipes… in with Direct Response Daily.
I’ll still break down a LOT of emails…
But I also want the wiggle room to explore more topics since my day-to-day work involves writing longform sales pages, webinars, and more.
So, let’s dive back in today and explore why…
Direct response copywriting is the #1 skill anyone interested in business, freelancing, or entrepreneurship should learn ASAP.
All thanks to a unique benefit I like to call…
“Building Your Own Client.”
You see, my first moneymaking venture online was selling Kindle books.
My reasons for doing so were pretty standard for a 20-something Zoomer: the usual “got a taste of the cubicle life and needed a way out…”
Anyway, I’m selling these books…
And to my surprise…
I’ve got sales!
$100 in August… $350 in September… $500 in October…
Come Christmas time, I spice up my product descriptions with some copywriting tips I read online. I remember thinking what a strange word. I even ignored copywriting articles earlier because I thought it was some legal thing.
Well, sure enough, I start seeing more sales.

$800 in November… $1,000 in December… Another $1k in January…
And by this point, I was obsessed with learning more.
So much so that I ignored my Kindle business and dove headfirst into freelance copywriting—starting on Upwork, then Agora, and still today.
Which brings me all the way ‘round to my original thesis…
It’s incredibly hard to LOSE if you learn direct response copywriting.
You can start as an absolute beginner, use your early skills, and try to sell something online. I did that with the Kindle business.
Either it works out…
And you start making that “passive” moolah.
Or it fails miserably, and you have a unique portfolio project to show clients.
Speaking from experience…
That kind of portfolio project is exactly how you can set yourself apart.
