Back in 2017, I met my copy cub, Tanner, for the first time on a self-development program we were both taking part in.
When we met, Tanner was still in a 9-5 job (folding clothes at Abercrombie & Fitch).
But he had always wanted to do his own thing…
He wanted to figure out a way to make money online.
So we had lunch one day, and he asked me what I thought he should do.
He was considering all kinds of stuff at the time like affiliate marketing and dropshipping.
I told him to ignore all of that.
“I’d learn how to write email copy” I said.
Tanner was a little perplexed.
He didn’t really understand how powerful email was in terms of making sales.
So I broke it down for him…
“Basically everyone in our industry makes a lot of money from their email list. And I always have business owners asking me for good email copywriters – so there’s a big need for it. Plus it’s easy to learn. You could probably be making money within 3-4 months with email copy”
At this point, Tanner was interested…
But I could tell he was super skeptical.
He didn’t really know me that well…
And it probably all sounded too good to be true.
But luckily for him, he listened to what I said.
And he went “all in” on it.
He started writing 3 emails a day.
And kept that up for months (without getting paid).
Fast forward to today, and Tanner is making 6-figures a year writing email copy.
He now has the freedom to work where he wants…
And to work whenever he wants…
It’s a pretty amazing story.
And if learning more about how he did it piques your interest, I highly recommend watching the Youtube video we recorded last night.
It goes into all the details of how he got his first client, how he overcame his “imposter syndrome”, and what he’s learned from sending over 300 million emails in the last few years.
If you’re a freelancer I’m betting this will be right up your alley.
So enjoy…
