Hi,
I just dropped by to say that I jumped on this one.
And for those of you reading posts here, trying to figure out if it's for you,
or not, and if this guy is on the level, or not, I thought I'd outline my
reasons both for jumping on it, and assessing that it was worth jumping on.
BTW I'm already a copywriting pro. I work alone, from home and take
copywriting coaching opportunities any time I find one I think might add
something to my toolkit.
So, why this opportunity?
I liked the opening sales post.
And what I liked most was that it WAS NOT full of 'sales' lines and the usual
make-money-online cliches.
The main 'giveaway', which tells me someone DOES NOT have anything
to teach me, is when I see the usual sales copy giimmicks, 'power words',
and make money online cliches.
The sales post in this thread is NOT one of those.
Yes, it sells, but the tone is conversational, and measured. He's not the
used car salesman who needs my money to pay his rent. He's the friendly
neighbour talking from personal experience, giving me advice...
When it comes to good writing, the only real evidence required is this -- can
this guy write naturally, and without tropes? And this guy can.
(a point a lot of people miss, or simply don't understand.)
And because he writes like this, and with confidence, and well, I believe
him. Because I know what good writing looks like. And because that's how
I write -- and I know that I make money doing that too!
So, he's 'like me' -- which is also a big step in the sales process (familiarity,
recognition).
Next, he has some good reviews (and no bad ones). Not a game-changer,
either way, but useful.
And He follows up in the same thread, in the same tone of voice, in a
helpful way, adding value. (He didn't paste his text here then conduct
himself only by PM, and he continued answering questions as they were
raised: essential for any coach.)
So, my next step was to PM him and introduce myself to see what
his reaction was, and how he would reply. I told him a bit about myself
and why I was interested.
He replied within hours. He responded, in detail, to every point, answered
every question, and offered similar types of information about himself.
We quickly gained a rapport and an understanding...
I had also mentioned something about email marketing and copywriting,
as a kind of comment and question. It wasn't a 'test' exactly, it was
something I was curious about and knew that anyone who was deep in
email copy would have an opinion -- I was curious what his was.
He answered that point with great insight, and actually clarified
something in my mind which had bugged me for a while. This wasn't
a 'knowledge/information' question, but an 'understanding/insight'
question -- his answer displayed insight.
That's what finished the sale for me. I knew this guy could write, his
attitude in writing was a good coaching/mentoring attitude, and I am
confident he will be someone I will enjoy working with and will move
me forward.
I paid after his first PM reply to me (all the boxes were ticked for me)
and have, since then, been in regular email contact with him. And he
has continued to communicate with the same easy, conversational,
friendly, helpful, patient, entertaining, and VALUE-FULL way.
I won't even mention price, here, because that wasn't an issue for me.
But I can say, with confidence, you WILL NOT find anyone to
coach/mentor you in ANY kind of copywriting at this price, especially
with this level of personal interaction.
Finally, let me say this -- I've been a copywriter for many years. Mostly
for OFFLINE businesses and print media. I know MY stuff, but I don't
know ALL THE STUFF.
And for me, email copywriting is a different country, I don't assume to know.
I feel VERY confident that with this coaching, I have the best guide I need.
And based on my own experience, and decision-making process, I recommend
this coaching offer to anyone reading this.
