I have a friend named Will. Will and I were both in Dan Ferrari's coaching group at the same time back in the late 19th century. I talked to Will earlier this week to catch up. For the past couple years, he's been doing all the email marketing for Polymarket, one of the two big prediction markets. First he was doing a cool weekly email, which I even read, because it's interesting. Then they got him to start doing a daily email as well. It's a lot of writing and a lot of work. Will is looking for help, for somebody to handle either the daily email, or segments of the weekly newsletter, or some combination of both. I offered to put the word out to people in my audience in order to: 1. Help Will 2. Look cool to people in my audience There's a conflict between those two goals. Will's first question was, "Will I get inundated with replies." I told him that chances are yes. And I offered to act as an intermediary, to vet people before I pass them on to him. If you are interested in writing for Polymarket: 1. Write me an email at john@bejakovic.com 2. Tell me you specialize in writing Morning-Brew style newsletters 3. Include highly relevant samples to back up your claim in 2 above If you don't have relevant samples, you have two options. Option one is to not apply for this job. If you don't send me highly relevant samples, I will not forward your stuff to Will, and I will not listen to you when you explain to me why I should hear you out. Option two is to create highly relevant samples on the spot, maybe even a sample Polymarket email or two (their stuff is all online and you can find it and model it). NB: If I have to parse, read into, or interpret your message your samples to figure out how they could be relevant to this job... I will just skip you and go to the next person. The whole point here is to figure out if you are the kind of person I should hand off to Will. A part of that is your writing experience and skill. Another part of that is your ability to make his job easier, rather than harder, and right now I'm the proxy for that.

Hi guys, happy to be here. I'm a copywriter from Germany with 10 years of experience and I am very familiar with the concept of daily emails, even though I have not really implemented it in my own business. In the 2026 world of AI chaos I am happy to see that these timeless direct marketing concepts survive. On the other hand I am a bit worried about the future of copywriting in this scenario. Right now I really have the feeling (at least in Germany) that freelancing in our area gets reduced and most copywriting job positions are occupied inhouse. That copywriting on it's own without additional skills is not wanted anymore. It's gotten to the point where I was recently asked why I don't move away from positioning myself as a direct response copywriter and switch to "Online Marketing Manager with Copywriting Skills". So I am happy to hear your opinions and insights and looking forward to be part of this community. Kind regards Benny

- Bejakovic’s Crooked Line: There’s a strange type of proof which conventional sales pages never include. But when you use this strange proof the way Sam does, you build massive respect and trust. When you're methods are quoted as a bullet point you've really made an impact.

So I'm in the middle of creating my first offer and it's all about safely digesting unconscious experiences. I've been emailing my list daily and telling them to join the waitlist through the P.S. section. It's been three days since I've announced it and I've got 23 people on my waitlist out of a list of 430 people with my emails having an average open rate of 30%. Do I carry on with this approach? Honestly, I'm just replicating what I see happen in my inbox when I see another creator promote their waitlist and launch their product.

In another thread, @Susan Moore writes: === I've taken courses that I didn't finish. But the amount of studying I did do, combined with related unfinished courses, and my own work and life experiences has all added up to this cumulative knowledge and insight I simply would not have without my messy inclinations and unfinished courses. === In that thread, I had an example of a course I didn't finish or implement when I got it, but which still gave me an idea that ended up being useful to me years later. This got me wondering, have you had experiences like that? I mean, have you ever found... A valuable idea or tactic or strategy that you got from a course that you never never finished? Or an idea or tactic or strategy that you got from a course, which you didn't use at the time, but which you used and profited from years later? Or a a tangential idea that somebody dropped in a course or training, which you ended up using, even though it was almost irrelevant to the main thing being taught?
