Every week the #1 member on the 7-day leaderboard will be upgraded to a Premium membership. If they are already a *paying* Premium member, they will be upgraded to a VIP membership. Only one member will be upgraded per week. This week's winner is @Nishat Fatima who gets upgraded to our Premium tier. Since this is a new “feature” we've added to the community, I'm also going to upgrade @Waisale Naqiolevu to VIP because he was #1 the last few weeks. What Nishat gets with her Premium membership: - Everything in our Standard tier - Call-free coaching in the community (business questions, copy feedback) - Instant access to all courses, workshops, and call recordings - New course, guest lecture or workshop every month What Wes gets with his VIP membership (because he was already paying for Premium): - Everything in Premium - Highest priority for answers to questions in discussion forum - WhatsApp access to Nabeel for coaching and copy feedback - One 1:1 coaching call per month - Complimentary tickets to any in-person events @Matthew Volkwyn and I host How to Win the Weekly Leaderboard Competition It's simple. Just show up and engage in the community. The easiest way is to “learn in public.” Go through the courses in the classroom and share how you are implementing what you learn. For example, if you're doing Copy Translation which @Alicia Joseph teaches in Copywriter Starter Kit, post your marked up copy with your notes. If you are hand-copying ads from our Legendary Ads Vault, post the photos of your work and write up what copywriting principles you learned from the ad. How NOT to Win the Weekly Leaderboard Competition Low-quality posts, engagement farming, and stupid questions. I actively delete posts like this.

So we've been doing these weekly level-up threads to help members level up so they can access their bonuses. We don't need to do this anymore because I've opened up access to our free courses to EVERYONE. You still need to get to level 2 to post and level 3 to DM other members. But now everyone who joins gets INSTANT access to: - Copywriter Starter Kit - 1,536 Ads to Hand-Copy - Direct Response Ghostwriter - Mindset Masterclass - Minority Copywriter Summit - The Creative Strategist's Handbook We'll replace the weekly level-up thread with accountability/check-in posts for those who are actively going through our free courses. For example, a thread to post screenshots of your hand-copy work. Now no one can say they don't have access to the knowledge. And the difference between copywriters who make it and wannabes who don't is doing the work.

I sent a loom video with my UpWork proposal and judging from the clients response this was what really helped me to stand out from other applicants - showing myself live in a video. I wouldn't have had the ability to speak so confidently in a video proposal if I hadn't gone through List Boss V1 back in Sept 2024. Investing $50 to learn about email list management directly from an expert is a no-brainer.

📝 2 UpWork proposals sent with 2 loom videos linked 1 viewed and got this reply: “Hi Waisale, I really like your proposal and would love to discuss how we can move further in terms of working together.” UpWork job is to review and provide advice on his landing page, he is getting clicks on his Ad and traffic to his landing page but no sales. 📲 15 IG DMs sent 📝 Watched “Asynchronous Offer Creation” video here in the classroom Main takeaways: Make low risk offers that don’t require a huge amount of trust upfront. This will lead to higher paying work later on. Setting Clear expectations is crucial Branding systems that require much less customisation so you can sell ‘temaplated’ solutions

I wrote 10 video ad script for meta for my friend's SAAS business this week. I am also developing 3 different hooks for each ad now. I also developed his go to market strategy for his business. I used all my learning from the creative strategy workshop of copy that and also from their video ad trainings.
