Episode 25 - Trolls are the gift that keeps on giving

You’re still not making enough money as a copywriter?

It started as a lust for freedom.

You stumbled upon an ad. A YouTube video. Or maybe a book. And a whole world of opportunity opened up to you!

You heard of copywriters making a killing with direct mail… email… VSLs… ClickBank… landing pages… funnels… Facebook Ads… Google Docs…

And you wanted in! To all of it!

But instead of having the free lifestyle YOU want, you felt the endless options suffocate you.

Every time you took a stand by narrowing your focus, a new “shiny object” sat you back down.

But forget about the past. Because this moment is where it all changes.
