An email rolled in last night from a copywriter named Greg Allerton asking…
“What’s the best way for a copywriter to get a % of the revenue I generate for my client”?
Great question.
And here’s my thoughts…
Most copywriter’s dream of % based deals like this.
So instead of getting a flat fee of $100 an email…
Or $5000 for a sales page…
With the % deal, you might get 20% of the $50,000 in sales that your copy generates (so you get paid $10,000).
Which is great.
The big benefit of a % deal is that you get to partake in the upside if your copy does well.
So if you knock it out of the park…
You get a big payday.
Sounds pretty good, right?
The only problem with deals like this is that most clients are hesitant to do ’em.
Why?
Because unless you’re a top tier, A-list copywriter, your client can easily find another copywriter who will do the job for a flat fee.
So you don’t have a lot of leverage to negotiate a % deal.
However…
There is a situation where average copywriters (and even newer copywriters) can negotiate a % deal with their clients.
And that’s when you’re the one bringing a NEW idea to the client…
When you bring a NEW idea to the client that can make them money, they’ll be much more interested in doing a % deal.
Why?
Because they’ll see the new idea as “extra” money.
This isn’t money they were expecting to make.
It’s like a bonus.
And if that’s the case…
Many people will be glad to give you a % of the sales you generate.
I’ll give you an example of how to set this up…
Let’s say you write emails for a coach who teaches women how to start their first business…
So you’re writing an email for her each day…
You’re promoting her courses…
And talking about her coaching programs…
But then you go to her and say “hey I’m noticing that a lot of people are having trouble coming up with an idea for what their business should be about. We should do a 1-day training on this topic on Zoom and sell it to the list. I think the list would eat it up.”
If she’s smart, she’ll appreciate you bringing this up and agree to it.
Then you go on with “Since this is a new idea and it’s “extra money” for you, I’d love to do this on a % basis where I only get paid if it does well. Basically I’ll handle setting everything up, I’ll promote it to the list, and all you need to do is show up on the call and teach”
That’s the whole pitch.
And like I said, most clients will be open to this cause you’re bringing them a NEW idea that will generate extra money for them.
And if you frame it in a way that shows them they won’t have to do anything except show up and teach…
They’ll be much more likely to say “yes”.
Cause it’s not a lot of work…
And it sounds like easy money (which it is).
Honestly getting a client to do something like this is not rocket science.
Any copywriter with a little ambition can make it happen.
The bigger issue is knowing HOW to run the promo once the client says yes.
Like how do you pick the right topic for the Zoom call…
What do you say in the emails…
How many emails do you send…
All that stuff is super, super important.
And luckily for you, that’s exactly what I’m going to teach you on the special training call I’m hosting next Wednesday.
It’s called the “1 Day Cash Machine”.
I’ve personally run two of these 1-Day Cash Machines to my list where I simply taught a “hot topic” on a Zoom call…
And had people pay $197 to be on that call.
The first time I did this, I made $54,766…
And the second time I did it, I made $89,832…
So as you can see, this thing crushes.
And now I want to show you exactly how it’s done so that you can run a 1-Day Cash Machine for your client (and get a % of the sales).
That could be a current client…
Or a potential client…
Really doesn’t matter.
The important thing is that you know how to run it…
That way both YOU and the client make a bunch of dough from it.
Anyways…
If that interests you…
I’m going to host a call next Wednesday (May 24th) showing you exactly how to run a wildly profitable 1-Day Cash Machine to a list.
On the call I’ll teach you everything including…
– how to come up with a “sexy” topic for the training that people will easily GIVE you money to learn (I’ll show you a bunch of examples of proven topics, and also give you a fill-in-the-blank template for creating your own “sexy” topic for the niche you’re writing for)
– how to price the training for your specific niche (I usually price mine at $197, but this will vary based on your niche. I’ll show you exactly how to price the training based on the niche you’re writing for)
– exactly what to say in the emails you send to your list (I’ll give you an entire swipe file of the emails I’ve used when doing a 1-Day Cash Machine and I’ll also show you the 4 most proven email angles to use in yours to make maximum sales)
So that’s what you’ll learn on the training…
Now as for the details of the training…
It will take place next week on Wednesday, May 24th at noon ET on Zoom.
Plan on it lasting about two hours…
If you can’t make it to the live training, or if you need to step away for any reason, you will get all the recordings from the training so you can watch it whenever you’d like.
And as for the price…
I’ve done other trainings and workshops in the past that have ranged from $1500 all the way up to $25,000.
However this training won’t be that expensive.
I think the 1-Day Cash Machine will be a game-changer for any copywriter looking to make a big chunk of money with a % deal…
So instead of charging $1500 or more…
The price is just $197.
So for $197, I’ll walk you through exactly how to run a 1-Day Cash Machine.
That way you’ll be able to run one for clients..
And make yourself a bunch of moolah, very quickly…
Again, the training will take place on Wednesday, May 24th on Zoom at noon ET/9 AM PT.
It will be recorded.
So if you can’t make it, or if you can’t be there for the whole thing, you’ll get the recordings sent to you the day after the training.
That’s the deal…
So if you want to be a part of this..
I suggest grabbing a spot today.
I don’t have a fancy sales page to sell you on this training…
So just head over to the checkout and get signed up if you want to be a part of it.
You can secure your spot right here.
Hope to see ya on the training…
