Making money online.
It’s the dream that everyone and their mom is chasing just to get that sweet taste of freedom, be your own boss, and own your own business.
I’ve done it.
And usually this is the part where I say it was the best experience ever, and owning a business is something every single person should do…
But unfortunately…
There are just a few things to consider before owning a business…
And you need to know them before I reveal my 3 secrets to making a lot of money in a small amount of time with copywriting…
First of all, you’re “on” 24/7.
Because my business is copywriting based, and I write so often, I’m always thinking of ways to create, to market my services, to market my products, and scale my business to higher places.
It can suck at times, and even be overwhelming. But, I persevere because…
Second, early mornings.
Honestly, I freaking LOVE my early 5AM mornings. In a normal 9–5 I might be able to wake up early, but I wouldn’t have nearly as much time to indulge in my morning.
However, I figured I’d lay this out there for the people who hate early mornings…
Third, Constantly hone your craft.
I’m pretty much non-stop improving my copywriting skill.
Whether that’s through practice (like this article), courses, or books.
I must non-stop improve so that I don’t forget what I’ve been practicing for 4 months straight.
Now, why should you even care about this?
Beccause now that you know the perks and the cons, I’ve officially gotten rid of the people uninterested in learning the secrets to building their dream life.
And now you, dear reader, will be the only one who will see these tips.
I promise you this isn’t some guru speal. If you are anything like I am — a highly determined person — when you put these 3 tips into action…
It’s almost guaranteed you’ll succeed with these marketing secrets.
But who are you to trust me huh?
Forgive me for the lack of an introduction.
I’m Nick. An entrepreneur, marketer, and writer.
I’ve sold $10,557 in just 4 months. I grew a YouTube channel to 20,000 subscribers. And an Instagram to a killer 5,000 followers. I even grew a friend's account to 2,000 subscribers. Plus I’ve sold bundles for my clients.
And in this article, I’m giving my entire strategy away.
Here’s my 3-step framework I used to make $10,557 writing online in just 4 months:
1. Positioning
First order of business, you need people to come to you for a reason.
Whether it’s to learn something, entertain, or persuade. You must have something unique that they can only come to you for.
This is usually particularly hard to find, but once you find your unique angle, you can then…
2. Create your brand
The next most important thing today is branding.
Most people think of branding as:
Fancy fonts
Loopy logos
Crazy colors
But that’s actually NOT what branding is about.
What it’s really about is the story behind it. The purpose. The uniqueness perse. In a personal brand the brand is about your story and the struggles it took to get where you are now.
Remember: it’s not the colors, fonts, or logos, it’s the feeling, aesthetic, positioning, and story of the brand.
3. Clients
Now that you’ve got branding and positioning down…
Next, all you need is to attract clients.
This is the BIGGEST problem I hear about when freelancers say they’re stuck.
Most of the time it’s that they can’t get clients.
And I’m going to fix that.
Because, in my experience, all you need are 3 things:
A consistent lead source
The skills to prospect
Ability to close
Consistent lead source is usually the biggest struggle.
So here’s what I’d suggest you do.
Go to Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer.com, and create a couple gigs.
Your Fiverr is just in case people go to you inbound.
But on Upwork… I want you to buy some connects and send a few PERSONALIZED proposals. Send proposals that the client would want to see.
And land your first gig. Once you’ve landed your first one, the second should be much easier. From there, boom, you’ve got a writing business.
Another lead source could be:
Twitter
Linkedin
YouTube
Facebook
Instagram
Billboards
Meta Ads
Flyers
And more!
My point is, you have many many options.
Put my 3-step framework in to action, and I promise you, you’ll see results.
