Let’s have a bit of fun today.
A few of my recent emails (specifically the ones when I was doing that “Copywriting Grab Bag” birthday sale) have gotten some very interesting feedback.
Some of it good.
Some of it nasty (yeah!)
And some of it… awesome.
Including a couple cool-cat testimonials, like the one from Michael Masterson (who I’ve been a huge fan of for years). And another from copywriter Mary Rose Maguire which was tongue-in-cheek.
But, at the same time, one of my favorites.
She said (in a linkedin group for copywriters):
“I’d run away with him if I wasn’t already married, was 15 years younger, and looked like Scarlett Johansson.”
Ha.
Hey, that’s how it’s done, ladies.
Hope you’re taking notes.
Remember, flattery WILL get you everywhere.
(So will food, gifts and, yes, cash…)
Anyway…
One more thing:
Recently I’ve been getting asked about consulting.
Do I do it?
And, how much does it cost?
The answer is yes.
And the cost is… pricey.
A cool $500 per hour.
But, I daresay it’s worth it.
In fact, Jonathan Rivera told me he did his first $1,000 day after taking the advice I gave him in a recent consulting session.
Not too shabby, eh?
No promises of results for you, of course.
So let’s not get nutzo here.
But, it’s proof I ain’t just whistin’ dixie when consulting.
If you’re interested, email me.
