“I basically lost all of my clients”

😬😬😬

Imagine having multiple clients, consistent income as a freelancer, and at one point…

*Poof*

GONE

That’s what Jasmine Pierce went through a few years ago.

But thanks to the action steps she shared with me in our recent interview.

She bounced back…

Closed a MULTI-MILLION dollar brand 💰…

Filled up a LIVE event that brought $72.000 in 48 hours…

And did SO MUCH MORE.

In the short span of a year, Jasmine went from a full-time copywriter working all day long to confident agency owner multiple 6-figures per year business.

🤯Amazing.

How did Jasmine bounce back and dominate?

How did she go from a regular copywriter to a successful agency owner (many struggle for years with this transition)?

And what strategies did Jasmine use to crush for her top clients so they gladly pay her premium rates AND hand over their marketing department to her?

Don’t ask me! I have no idea. 🤣

That’s why I asked Jasmine to tell me and you EVERYTHING during our interview…

You’re going to learn all of Jasmine’s “secrets”:

💰How she went from losing all her clients to closing a multi-million brand and taking over a marketing department (Jasmine’s story) (2:33)

💰What premium businesses don’t care about when working with freelancers and agencies (and what they value the most) (11:44)

💰How copywriters set themselves up for NIGHTMARE client by doing THIS (and how you can avoid it) (15:10)

💰How to get wins for your new clients FAST so they value you more and gladly pay you premium rates (16:40)

💰How to position yourself as a premium copywriter by leveraging your previous experience - the right way (22:25)

💰The 3 steps to becoming more than just a copywriter so you get treated, rewarded, and appreciated 10x better (28:03)

💰The best type of emails to convert prospects into raving buyers (41:17)

💰If you ever lose confidence in your copy and skills, do THIS (43:40)

💰How Jasmine went from copywriter to successful agency owner in a YEAR (exact steps) (48:30)

💰Why “grind for money” mindset as a freelancer can cost you clients and potentially destroy your career (and what you should focus on instead) (56:47)

💰When is the best time to transition to the next level from a freelancer to an agency owner/business owner (59:27)

💰The biggest disclaimer before starting an agency (1:07:40)

And. More. Obviously.

So whether you're a copywriter looking to get more premium deals and hit 6-figures without constantly chasing business owners…

Or you’re an agency owner looking to get to the next level and scale to 25k, 50k, and even 100k/mo…

I suggest you watch the interview all the way through.

When you're ready, here are the 4 secrets you need to make $10k/mo as a copywriter: https://youtu.be/ZPAm0jiJXXA

I see a lot of beginner copywriters AND experienced copywriters stay in this endless cycle for months or sometimes even YEARS…

They work 10+ hours per day (even on weekends)...

Get paid pennies…

And hate every minute of writing copy.

That was Matthew Salcedo's life!

He was making 2k/mo…

Working 12+ hours a day…

Burnt out and taking HOURS to write a piece of copy.

Despite all of that, Matthew pulled outhe ultimate UNO reverse card! 🃏

He said goodbye to his copy chief and low-paying clients…

And said hello to premium 8-figure clients (who btw reached out to him)….

And he is now the copy chief!

Making more money and with more time freedom to do what he enjoys most.

I knew Matthew’s regular secrets to success but I wanted to know the REAL secrets.

How did he pull out the ultimate UNO reverse card and fire his copy chief and become a 6-figure copy chief himself in just a year?

How did Matthew escape burnout and start getting paid what he is actually worth?

What did Matthew do to make premium clients come to HIM instead of chasing them? (and how you can apply the same strategies to land clients).

And how did his parents decide to give him such an incredible name?

I recorded all the secrets in this new interview.

Copywriter Reveals How He Closed A $50M Client In 2025https://youtu.be/SR1NASW1LXw?si=RDfr_s5jrnQV9Rlj

Business owner: “I’m looking for an email copywriter”... 

HUNDREDS of copywriters raise their hands. ✋✋✋✋✋

But did you know there’s another type of copy that business owners often value MORE than email copy?

That has a fraction of the competition?

And business owners will gladly pay premium rates for it?

In fact…

This type of copy gets millions of eyeballs, thousands of leads, and hundreds of buyers per day (if written correctly).

I’m not talking about Facebook ads..

I’m talking about YouTube ads.

Specifically - writing YouTube ad scripts.

The best part is…

If you know how to write emails, ads, or VSLs you can tap into YouTube ad scripts and stack another premium retainer ONTO the TOP of your current retainers.

But how do you write top performing ad scripts?

I asked the YouTube ad script king himself – @ Umar Khokhar

And I can’t wait to share with you what I learned.

Umar has written ad scripts for the BIGGEST real estate summit in Canada where Grant Cardone was a presenter.

And he’s now also written countless scripts for 7 and 8 figure businesses.

I knew I had to sit down with Umar and learn his secrets to writing top-performing YT ad scripts.

Also, I wanted to learn how he closed his clients in the first place, and how other writers can take advantage of this type of copy NOW👀 

Enjoy the video!

Here’s what else you can expect in this interview: 

🎥 How Umar got the chance to write an ad script for the BIGGEST real estate events in Canada (4:30)

🎥 The one thing that helps copywriters close clients more easily and absolutely crush it in the 2024 copywriting landscape (13:26)

🎥 What helped Umar close clients as a beginner (and how it can help you close more deals in 2024) (24:23)

🎥 “Outcome independence” and how it helps copywriters to get more deals, close more clients, and DOMINATE copywriting space (35:49)

🎥 The best way to come up with hooks, angles, and winning ideas for any piece of copy (better and FASTER than research) (45:09)

🎥 How to become an irreplaceable part of a business as a copywriter and get paid premium rates for MONTHS if not for YEARS (58:28)

🎥 Simple way to upsell your current clients into ANOTHER premium retainer 1:12:35

🎥 The biggest disadvantage of email copywriters in 2024 (1:16:23)

🎥 Techniques and strategies to create a winning ad (1:22:10)

And more secret secrets I didn’t include 😏

With how much content is created literally every SECOND, I believe this is where the industry is going. And where you’ll stand out.

So whether you are just a beginner, experienced copywriter, or already making 6 figures with copy…

I suggest watching this one

When you're ready, here are the 4 secrets you need to make $10k/mo as a copywriter: https://youtu.be/ZPAm0jiJXXA

At the beginning of 2024, Henry was STUCK.

Blasting outreach messages while barely seeing any results….

Making only 1k/mo.

But he didn’t give up.

He hired a coach (me) and in a very short time, with a better approach that you’re about to learn, he closed a $50 million copy client!

He’s now making 10X more than what he was making at the beginning of this year.

AND he’s cracked the code on getting clients on repeat.

How did he achieve such massive success despite being a BEGINNER at the beginning if the year?

How did he win the attention of 7 and 8 figure businesses and turn them into clients?

How did he get so good at copy?

I’ll let Henry Wager answer himself in our interview.

He agreed to get on zoom and share all his secrets and the best strategies to succeed as a copywriter in 2024

He spilled so many secrets from the Email Dojo I was yelling to my video editor:

“CUT THAT, CUT THAT” 🤣

Just kidding of course.

But still … we hold nothing back in this interview. I’d highly recommend you watch it.

We went over:

- How Henry gained confidence in his copy despite being a beginner and having almost zero results writing copy for businesses (5:50)

- How to get good at copy without courses and coaching programs (this principle also applies to the client getting and how you position yourself as a premium copywriter) (17:17)

- How to keep your copy fresh and exciting no matter how sophisticated the market is (36:04)

- How to do research FAST and know exactly what moves the market (41:37)

- Simple ways to get better at copy every single day and be ahead of 90% of the copywriters in the space (44:42)

- The secret outreach strategy Henry used to land copywriting clients FAST (whoops no timestamp here, I guess you have to watch the whole interview to find out 😏)

- The best approach to get clients in 2024 + what did Henry change in his approach to go from 1k/mo to consistent 10k/mo as a copywriter (56:08)

- When you see almost no results in client getting, how do you know you are taking the right steps to succeed (59:46)

- The actual value behind good coaching that most copywriters overlook (it’s not new knowledge or guidance) (1:04:20)

- The number one trait you can have as a copywriter to succeed in this space no matter what (and what you should avoid at ALL COSTS to gain that trait) (1:08:06)

- If Henry had to start all over again as a copywriter and had to build a successful copywriting career in 2024, he would do THIS (1:14:52)

- And this is just an appetizer

It was a great interview, appreciate you, Henry 🙏

"Holy cow, what’s going on?! 🤯

One month ago I was slaving away at my full-time job and now a month later I’ve closed my first copywriting retainer gig that's paying me the same amount with a tenth of my time spent."

When I heard this, it sounded like a James Bond movie. 🤣

From being stranded on an island for 4 months…

To escaping a full-time job…

To closing a client on the train to France.

To working with industry-leading brands at high 8-figures…

The name’s Gorodi

Michael Gorodi

The James Bond of health & ecom copy.

He went from full-time job to full-time nomad copywriter in one MONTH. All without almost any experience in copywriting.

A few years later, now he’s working with whales in the health industry.

I wanted to know MORE.

What's Mike’s secret to closing clients and transitioning into copywriting full time?

How did he crush for his clients without having a lot of experience in copywriting?

And what are some things Mike does in 2024 to make his clients up to $73.000 from ONE single email?

Michael answers it all in this interview we had recently.

Here’s what we covered in the interview:

Michael’s “James Bond” story (go to 2:03)

What helped Michael to transition into copywriting full-time and never even consider getting a job again (head to on 8:39)

How Michael got good at copy SO FAST even his first clients didn’t know he was just starting out (11:32)

If you lack experience or results in copywriting, here’s what business owners value more than copywriting itself and how you can use this to stand out from others (21:27)

The network of people who helped Michael get gigs, retainer clients, and consistent referrals (every copywriter has this network yet they NEVER tap into it) (go to 29:47)

Key elements that helped Michael become a successful copywriter (42:55)

The secrets Michael is using right now to crush in the ecom email marketing space (48:12)

AND MORE.

If you like to be underpaid, burnt out, and work only with nightmare clients, then this interview is probably NOT for you. hahaha
