$10k worth of freelancing clients on offer
If you have an email list about copywriting or marketing, then your emails will be much more interesting and your offers much more convincing if you have real-world data to share from real businesses that you're working with right now. That's the reason I myself got back into client work earlier this year. I'm still doing client work. It's turned out to be easy money, laid-back clients, and actually interesting projects. Yes, those jobs are out there. Plus, it's given me stuff to write emails about, and it's boosted my standing and status with people on my list. If you want to get back into client work, or if you want more, cooler, or higher-paying clients than you've got now, then our own @Nick Bandy might be your way up and out. Nick is currently starting up a cohort offer with the goal of getting you your next $10k worth of client work. Here are the details of Nick's offer, in his own words: === I’m pitching businesses again. I’m looking for low-stress, high dollar-per-hour arrangements with the potential for repeat work. I’m inviting others to join me and work alongside me. I’ll help you find, pitch, close, upsell, and retain clients. The goal is to get you your next $10,000 in client work, AND leave you with a repeatable playbook to keep getting low-stress, high dollar-per-hour clients like these, for as long as you desire. I will continue to support you for as long as it takes to hit $10,000 in client work. So, how much to invest? $5k. That’s to land clients paying you more than you’re currently charging, with less work than you’re currently performing. The last job I landed at the very beginning of 2025 was a few emails and some opt-in form copy for $4,000 dollars. It took me maybe 5 hours to write. That turned into a $12,000 per month retainer. (Despite the fact that the client never suggested, hinted, or implied that there would be repeat work.) Even if you only land $4k worth of work per month for the next year, that’s $48,000…almost a 10x return.
Has anyone here used Insight Exposed?
Curious if anyone has bought this from John? I can barely find any info on it. The link is literally just a shopping cart with no sales copy: Look at this What's your experience with this mystery offer?

@Nick Bandy No unfortunately that is not a skill taught inside Insight Exposed. Maybe I should hire a copywriter to write one for me.
To P.S. or not to P.S. in every single email?
Hey everyone, I’m currently drafting a 7-email sequence for a client in the coaching niche, and I’m hitting a tactical dilemma. I know that the P.S. (Postscript) is one of the most read parts of an email. Because of that, I’m tempted to put a P.S. at the bottom of all 7 emails to drop extra hooks, build curiosity, or push the CTA. But then I thought: Is that too much? Will the readers get bored or predict my formula if they see a P.S. every single day? For the experienced copywriters here: What is your golden rule for using P.S. lines in a short automated sequence? Do you use it in every email, or do you skip it randomly to keep things fresh? And what’s your favorite way to use a P.S.? (Selling the product, telling a final joke, or opening a loop for the next email?) Would love to hear your workflow before I ruin this client's flow! 😂 Cheers! ☕

I don't know that a P.S. is the most read part of an email. I think it used to be the most read part of a sales letter because it made it simple for people to flip it over and just see what the gist is. But an email is not a sales letter. It's basically a headline, or maybe a headline and a lead, rather than a full sales job. I don't know whether you'll want to use it or not. I very rarely use P.S.'s in emails for my own stuff, and from what I remember I very rarely used them back when I wrote client emails.
Paid Newsletters
I noticed that Derek Johanson has just launched a monthly paid newsletter and Ian Stanley launched one a few months ago too. Coincidence? I know they’re pals but I’m wondering if there’s something in the water at the moment that makes it a particularly good time to launch a paid newsletter?

@Brett Freeman I agree, and speaking from the seller side, this is what killed the paid newsletter for me. I've been subscribed to paid newsletters that were obviously slapped together. I didn't want to do that and I very quickly realized that creating something every month that I'd be proud to send out wasn't sustainable.

@Maliha M You've been at it for a while, I don't think you have anything to worry about
Weird Sign Ups
I’ve recently launched a new monthly group coaching program and I’m asking everyone who joins why they decided to join (a tip I got from John - thank you @John Bejakovic). Yesterday someone replied as follows: - They were born on the 13th  - Their lucky number is 13 - They read my email on 13th Aug - My offer is a $15 monthly subscription. When they converted this to Euros, it came out at €13 And so they “decided to take a chance” I’m not sure I can use this in my marketing! But it did get me wondering - what’s the most unusual/weird/interesting reason someone has given you for buying your product or service?

This is great and unfortunately I have nothing comparable! But given that today is 2026/8/16, and 2+0+2+6+8+1+6 = 25, and 2+5 = 7, and 7 is both a lucky and a holy number, I think there's a marketing lesson here. From Dan Kennedy's 11 Agreements: === 10. Agreement on Personal Timing Almost everyone who agrees to #1 through #9 - and specifically with #9 - will then have reasons why the timing is not possible or good for them to act on the opportunity right now. Many businesses have seasonal ups and downs, and their owners have cash peaks and valleys. During the busiest times when it might be easiest to buy from a cash standpoint, the owner is too busy to pay attention, too busy to take on anything new, possibly even so busy he forgets about his slumps. During his least busy times when it may be hardest to buy from a cash standpoint, he may actually be poor, he may take time off; he will likely think he should wait to invest until he has good cash flow again. You can seek agreement on a global scale, that this is the behavior of fools, that only guarantees the cyclical, roller coaster income will continue - and he certainly isn't a fool, is he? Or you can narrow the focus to reasons why this particular time is the best time to do your 'x' despite or precisely because most would think it isn't. One way or another, though, you will need agreement that now is a good time, not a bad time, to act for him, personally. Personal or family issues may also be in play. A parent of a 3 year old has different ideas about available time than the parent of a 30 year old, parent of first child vs. parent of third child, etc. MOST people are not "all in" about their business, and are unwilling to pursue certain opportunities - despite agreement about possibility, personal possibility, attainability, personal attainability, benefit, etc. - if doing is disruptive to some non-business activity, relationship or commitment that is important to them. Trying to sell temporary sacrifice for long-term gain is a steep climb. There was a time when that story was blatantly, forthrightly told and bought by many; not so now.Agreement about sacrifice was viable. Not now. Somehow, you must secure agreement that your prospect can benefit from your opportunity without significant personal inconvenience or sacrifice.
