Would you write 162 words for $350?

If so, there are loads of clients looking to talk to you [The Writer’ s Life]( June 13, 2023 "Take life on life's terms — one day at a time. And have fun while you're doing it." – Joe Perry, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Guitarist It's summer, {NAME}! Which means it's summer concert time! Whether you're a Swiftie or part of the BeyHive, burning up for the Jonas Brothers, or psyched for Aerosmith's Peace Out farewell, it's the season to rock out. We're ready to join all the fun, so hang on, because this week's writing opportunity requires an air guitar … You'll see why in a sec. 😉 It first starts with demand … Pretty much ANY marketer or small business owner … Anyone with an online presence who's selling products or services … KNOWS they need it, for one of two reasons: A — they're already using it — and they desperately need more … OR B — they're NOT using it, and they know they're leaving money on the table. Check this out: According to the Direct Marketing Association, for every $1 marketers spend on this type of writing, they get $36 back in sales. $36! Just imagine playing a slot machine, knowing that for every $1 you put in, you'd get $36 back. You'd play that machine all day! But for companies to get those returns, they need WRITING. And they need it constantly. So, whether you're a new writer, looking for the easiest way to break in … Or you want to bulk up your writing income — and give yourself some financial security — with a few predictable retainers … There are few other projects where you can find instant and infinite demand for your services … Where the standard fees are GENEROUS, because they've got that solid (often insanely high) ROI to support the spend. How generous are we talking? Just imagine writing 162 words … for $350. That's a real fee that I recently paid one of my freelance email writers … And it probably took them less than an hour to write. As if it couldn't get any better, here's the best part about this project: You already have experience writing it. Which means you're ALREADY equipped to be an — [cue air guitar] INBOX HERO! That's right! I'm talking about writing EMAIL. Writers often overlook this marketing channel as "boring" (or even DEAD) … But there's nothing boring about helping your clients get a 3,600% return (or more) on their marketing dollars … Or getting clients easily, because they always need more emails. Why? Because they're "consumable" products! The second you send one, you need another. Email is a monster that always needs feeding. And it's this incredible return — combined with the infinite demand — that makes it one of the BEST paths for freelance writers looking for consistent work with high fees. [>> Check out the full breakdown of this exciting opportunity here.]( Now you may be wondering … WHY does email have such a high ROI? As a marketer who sends upwards of 100 unique emails per month, I can tell you, the list of reasons why is longer than a Jimmy Page guitar riff: - It's dependable. It's not a fad or trend, and while the rules occasionally change, I'm not worried email is going to suddenly vanish, forcing me to rebuild a new platform and audience every five years. - It's intimate. People guard their email addresses like they do their home addresses. Getting an invitation into someone's inbox is like being invited in for coffee! It's an intimate digital space, where you — the email writer — get their full, precious attention. And for marketers, that attention is GOLD. - When done consistently, email creates familiarity with the brand or spokesperson. (Keyword there: Consistently!) - Because email is intimate and invitation-based, it's a key channel for delivering value … like how-to's, hacks, inspiration, and entertainment. That exchange of value builds authentic relationships based on trust and reciprocity. - And because of these essential emotional foundations — intimacy, familiarity, trust, reciprocity — it's a GREAT place to make sales. So, while the projects are short, and the turnaround is quick … You're building REAL relationships and doing REAL good in the world … While supporting a client or company you love … And creating dependable, consistent income for yourself. That's like a win-win-win … win-win! Ready to go? [>> Get the full story about this exciting opportunity here …]( You'll have a chance to learn directly from one of the masters in this specialty.
