Got an email from “Email Players” subscriber Jonathan Rivera saying he and his buddy did $10g’s using nothing but good old fashioned email and the telephone.
In fact, they didn’t even have a sales page until the last day.
Pretty cool, eh?
But riddle me this:
Remind me why everyone is toiling away their lives creating long, droning sales pages and/or videos, killing their backs and going blind looking at a computer screen all day again?
Not to say a good sales page doesn’t help.
It definitely does.
But, don’t waste time obsessing over one, either.
Get those emails out.
Make sales.
And, while you’re doing that, optimize your funnel.
Oh, and speaking of copywriters and emails…
Monday I helped teach a mastermind/workshop in San Diego. One of our clients who got BBQ’d on the “hot seat” was Ryan McGrath representing Agora. I got to talking with him and it turns out Agora has a TON of copywriting gigs — even if you’re a newbie who has no reputation and hasn’t figured out all the butts to kiss yet at seminars.
Anyway, he sent me a LONG list of job openings.
It’s like a newbie copywriter’s wet dream.
If I was a new copywriter I’d be on this like white on rice.
Seems to me the tests you’d get to see, the experience you’d gain, the contacts you’d make… would be like getting a 10 year copywriting “crash course” in a matter of weeks and months. And, getting freelance opportunities like this is a “perk” of being an “Email Players” subscriber.
No, don’t subscribe JUST for that.
(Only a fool would do that, and a few have to their shame…)
But, if you’re a freelancer on the fence about subscribing anyway, and want access to this big ol’ fatty list of Agora job openings (and, more importantly, “fast track” Ryan McGrath’s attention when applying), then do this:
1. Subscribe to “Email Players”
2. A day later you’ll be invited to a private Google group.
Join it.
Then, read the archives to see it.
