Dear Copywriter:

I’m not really all that smart, but when I decided to take the leap from corporate employment to freelance copywriting in late 1981, I did one really smart thing:

I called as many of the top freelance copywriters as I could locate. I told them I was an advertising manager (which was true) for a manufacturing company.

Then, I asked them to send me as much information as they could about their freelance copywriting services—which, since they thought I was a potential client and not an aspiring competitor, they eagerly did.

I collected, saved, and studied the self-promotions they sent me religiously -- the way I imagine an archaeologist would study ancient ruins or a seminary student the Bible.

Using this vast library of winning self-promotions as my model, and “borrowing” from them creatively (nobody sued me for plagiarism), I quickly and easily created result-getting sales letters, ads, lead magnets, and a copywriting information kit – and then used them to launch my own freelance copywriting business with terrific success. Mark Ford says I am the #1 self-promotion master in the world!

Within a couple of years, I was earning an annual six figure income – and remember, this was back in the early 1980s, when $100,000 a year was actually a lot of money for a freelance writer to be making!

I still think the best way to jump start your freelance copywriting success is to collect, study, and emulate the ads, websites, information kits, blogs, e-mails, and bait pieces already successful copywriters are using to promote themselves today.

But collecting and analyzing copywriter promotions takes time. So copywriter James Palmer and I did the work for you … and the result is our Copywriter’s Self-Promotion Toolkit – the most valuable portfolio of freelance copywriting promotions available online today—guaranteed or your money back.

When I started my freelance copywriting business, I spent many weeks requesting, collecting, analyzing, and researching the most successful copywriter self promotions that were running.

It wasn’t easy. Try calling some freelance copywriters yourself and asking them to send you their most successful self-promotions. Most won’t. Why would they? You are the competition. They don’t want to help you steal their clients.

So I went out, called on my many friends in the freelance copywriting business, and did it for you. Sneaky me!

As a result, you can now get your hands on some of the most effective freelance copywriter marketing materials being used today, with no effort on your part – literally in minutes, just by clicking below now:

The 2 big barriers to breaking into freelance copywriting – gone for good!

Having successfully made the transition from 9 to 5 cubicle drone to six-figure freelance copywriter myself, I am well aware that there are two major barriers to getting started. And now, The Copywriter’s Self-Promotion Toolkit completely eliminates both:

** First, you don’t know what kind of marketing is used to sell freelance copywriting services. You don’t know what successful copywriters do to get clients or what those promotions look like.

If you are selling cars or burgers, you know what works in those industries, because you are a consumer and those commercials are run on the TV channels you watch. But you are a copywriter. Other copywriters target their promotions at marketing managers – not other copywriters. So you never see them.

I asked nicely and was persistent, and some of the top copywriters working today said yes. They gave me their best-performing self promotions to share with you in The Copywriter’s Self-Promotion Toolkit. So now you can see what you could never see before – how the most successful copywriters promote themselves.

** Second, anything you would write to launch or promote your own copywriting service is unproven and untested. So you have no idea whether it will work.

But when you model your own efforts on their proven models, you eliminate expensive guesswork and trial-and-error … and create promotions that bring you lots of business right out of the gate. What’s that worth to you? A lot more than the small fee I’m asking for this Toolkit, that’s for sure!

Order now and save $20

The list price on The Copywriter’s Self-Promotion Toolkit is a very reasonable $59.

Considering that the copywriters whose work is represented would charge you thousands of dollars to write similar materials for you, paying only $59 is a drop in the bucket compared with the real value of having, studying, and modeling these ads, letters, and promos.

I did show some of these copywriter promos recently at an exclusive seminar I gave for AWAI in Baltimore, where freelancers like you paid $2,500 to attend and see them.

But when you order today, The Copywriter’s Self-Promotion Toolkit is yours for only $39. That’s less than I charge for just 5 minutes of my time – and a $20 savings off the regular rate.

And that’s the price you pay only if you agree that getting The Copywriter’s Self-Promotion Toolkit is the best investment in your copywriting business you make this year.

If you do not agree, then your cost is zero. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. Because now you can….

… use it risk-free for 90 days

That’s right.

If The Copywriter’s Self-Promotion Toolkit isn’t the best investment in your freelance copywriting business you make this year …

Or you are dissatisfied for any other reason … or for no reason at all … let me know within 90 days.

I’ll refund your $39 payment in full. And you can still keep the Toolkit --- no charge. That way, you risk nothing.

One other thing….

Major consumer brands like GM and Burger King spend a small fortune tracking their competitors’ advertising.

They want to know what’s working in their market … and what consumers are responding to.

Now, with the Toolkit, you can instantly see the best copywriter self-promotions of and have them at your fingertips for ready reference.
