This video is one of the lessons in List Boss, which I'll be teaching live again from Monday May 4th to 10th. I'm sharing it so you can have a little taste of what's to come. In it, I go over how to build an email marketing proposal that gets you $4,000 to $5,000 per month or more in retainer fees. I explain: - The pricing strategy and how to change as a beginner and as an experienced marketer - The exact deliverables to include and why you include them - Simple ways to add line items that juice your retainer without doing extra work - How to present the proposal to your prospect - ...And more This training is 1 of 12 core modules I'll be teaching at the List Boss live workshop next week.

Every word of this is true but I've changed the names. Three years ago when I first launched Copyskills, two copywriters joined our community. Pradeep joined first, Antonio joined some time later. Pradeep and Antonio both live in the Global South. And they both had significant challenges. All the common struggles Global South copywriters have. - English being their second language - Businesses not taking them seriously - Prospects expecting to pay them peanuts and get A-List results - Lack of confidence - Needing to level-up their average copywriting and master other essential business and marketing skills Pradeep and Antonio both had access to everything I offer in Copyskills. - Unlimited copy critiques - Coaching on how to run their business - Advanced marketing courses - Guest lectures from some of the smartest copywriters and marketers in the world - Support and community …And so much more. In fact, now that I think of it, Pradeep had a huge advantage over Antonio. Pradeep was already working with two of the biggest fitness influencers in the world. Antonio had some experience, but he was further behind. 7 months after joining Copyskills, Pradeep sends me this email: >> I've decided to cancel my CopySkills membership. In the 6 months since my last retainer got canceled, I've only managed to earn $3400. The problem isn't Copyskills, or even the profession (I love marketing/copywriting). It's just me. I'm not being consistent with marketing my biz. Haven't consistently tweeted, emailed or started a yt channel or even DM'd people. For now I've decided to get a job. This email made me very angry. So angry, in fact, Pradeep is banned from rejoining Copyskills or buying any of my products. Forever. He had 6 months to take advantage of the support and resources in Copyskills to get more clients. - He could have shown up every day asking for feedback and coaching, I did x, y happened, what should I do next? - He could have worked with me to come up with a compelling offer and cold outreach strategy - He could have asked his past clients for referrals - He could have reached out to 10 business owners a day, every day – that's 1800 over 6 months - He could have posted daily on one platform where his ideal client hangs out - He could have launched his own info product using the skills he already had

“If you treated a regular job like you're treating this, what would happen? … “I'm asking you. I want you to tell me.” “I would get fired.” “Exactly. Just because this is online and remote and there aren't set hours, doesn't mean you can't take it seriously. You are being paid to do a job. And you need to treat it like a job.” Many copywriters arrive at this line of work because they failed at some other part of life. I know because I am one of them. I flunked out of university my first time around. I was awful at my 9-to-5. Alhamdulillah I found copywriting, took to it, and was good enough at it to make something of myself, even though I'm still 10 years behind my peers. This might be a bit of a stretch but, to my knowledge, it's rare for someone who's successful in a more traditional vocation or life path to switch careers to become a copywriter. So, because many of them are failures, or have trouble with authority, or can't keep a real job, or have never had a real job, they don't treat copywriting like a serious profession. They don't treat copywriting like a real skill that must be learned. They don't treat freelancing like a real job that must be worked at. They think they can succeed by doing a poor facsimile of work for a few hours a day. They fell for the half-truth of work-life balance. They see copywriting influencers traveling the world, barely working, and allegedly making boatloads of cash, and think that's what they're in for too. They fail to realize the influencer only starts vlogging after they've "made it." Vlogging about doing outreach for 12 hours and getting rejected hundreds of times in a row doesn't exactly make for good TV. You didn't see the full year where Cardinal Mason was trying to make copywriting work and having little success. You didn't see the few years Matthew Volkwyn wasn't making enough to be a copywriter full-time. You didn't see the year where I was in no-man's land, burning through my savings trying to figure things out, before I finally got my "big break."
