Episode #147 – Doberman Dan On A Freelance System To End Neediness Now
The Doberman is back.
Once upon a time he lived with Gary Halbert…
In Costa Rica.
Aside from working alongside a master, Dan cut
his teeth writing for himself.
His own supplement businesses.
So in 2012, when he went freelance…
He made some rookie mistakes.
He had to hustle up copy gigs because he no longer had an income
after selling his business.
It was a grind, but he’s a quick study.
In his second appearnace on the podcast, Dan reveals a
system that saved his freelance bacon.
A secret system that has provided him with a steady stream of
high-quality clients…
So he can pick and choose his copy projects.
A system he learned from Gary Halbert.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
* The “Barberton Parking Lot” method Dan used to get Gary Halbert’s attention. (Gary’s own methods used on the master – to great success!)
* The honest, “no bull-crap” mistake Dan made – and newbies make all the time – when he finally went freelance.
* The one mistake even professional copywriters make. (Dan has seen people spend 30 years in this phase!)
* How to protect yourself against your own neediness. (Hustling to get this first step taken care of will work wonders).
* The Gary Halbert secret to cure neediness by finding a steady stream of leads. (Dan doesn’t look for clients anywhere else now).
Mentioned:
* Doberman Dan
* Dan’s “Off The Chain” Podcast
* The Gary Halbert Letter
* David Allan’s Make Words Pay
Intro and outro backing music: Forever More by CREO

Doberman Dan : Thanks David. Appreciate the invite. Been looking forward to this.
David Allan: Yeah it’s really great to have you. I first heard about you from Ben Settle if my memory serves me. He turned me on to you. I got into this stuff through Gary Halbert, but I don’t think that’s where I heard of. I think it was Ben because I wasn’t up to date on all the Gary Halbert stuff at that point. I read some of your stuff. Your rookie copywriters survival guide a couple years ago that I got off Amazon and you’re just one of those classic and somewhat legendary direct response guys still floating around. How did you get into all this mess of direct response advertising Dan.
Doberman Dan : Yes, a legend in my own mind. Well, I didn’t want to get in to all this stuff to be totally transparent with you what I wanted was I wanted a mail order business. So I had a job that I was not crazy about. That’s quite an understatement actually. And I just you know nine years prior while I still had this job I was trying all these different kinds of businesses and failing and all of them. But I discovered I discovered direct response marketing through Dan Kennedy through a product I bought from him. And I thought this is cool man selling like paper and ink cassettes that cassettes just saying that, that alone, just totally dates me. And I thought this is a cool business man he’s sending letters in the mail like do ads and in magazines an...
