"How To Turn Your Copywriting Skills Into A Successful Freelance Career"

This is the info that has launched (almost overnight) whole generations of successful freelancers -- most of whom started with zero insight or connections in the freelance biz.

This simple, straightforward, no-B.S. career roadmap has proven to be the fastest way possible for serious copywriters to go from "clueless" to "clued-in" in record time.

Best part: You don't risk a penny by checking everything out for yourself as long as you act fast

From: John Carlton, aka "The Dude"
 Hiding in his opulent cave-office near Reno, Nevada...

Howdy...

I can tell you this without blushing: Many of the top working freelance copywriters now in high demand...

... broke into the professional ranks with direct help from me.

And yes, I realize the country is flooded with people who call themselves freelance copywriters.

However, many of the best (who learned how to make a great living by being DAMN GOOD at the job)...

... arrived on the scene through my coaching and direction and specific advice.

We name names in the column along the right side of this page.

These sizzling testimonials are given eagerly and freely... because the help I gave these guys opened up an entire new world to them.

A world of independence, confidence, and financial freedom.

Even better... a good freelance copywriter will almost never be out of work.

You will forever be in high demand, because...

The Business World Is STARVED For Competent Ad Writers.

And will pay shocking amounts of moolah to any writer who has the chops to make ad copy work.

Doesn't matter what happens to the economy, either. Recession, boom times, war, disaster... doesn't matter.

The world craves information and products to consume...

... and copywriters are the ones who make capitalism spin in greased grooves.

As a good freelance copywriter, you are the engine of wealth for any client you care to work with.

And, when you get good and know how to find and manage clients...

... the revenue streams fattening your bank account can be simply staggering.

But you're a fool if you think you can easily figure the "game" of freelancing out for yourself.

It's actually a very mysterious "dance" between you, the client, and the market.

Mastering the moves to this "dance" is actually simple, once you are shown what to do.

But to outsiders, it's like a secret, nearly-unsolvable puzzle.

Until, that is, you find a guide to help you learn:

• How to engorge your "Bag of Tricks" with adaptable skills and proven tactics, so you can handle any job, for any market or niche...
• Plus how to find and attract clients -- especially "good" clients who understand your critical importance to the project...
• PLUS how to make sure you price yourself correctly... and get paid.

Rookie freelancers (working without a coach) often shrivel and die, never discovering the secrets of hooking up with clients.

They also can find themselves nursing fresh ulcers and panic attacks...

because they don't understand how to negotiate a simple contract, or judge if their skills are up to the task.

Even worse, they can get FLEECED by the few clients they do end up working for...

... because they don't have a clue how to position themselves solidly in the "cash-flow" funnel.

And all this grief and pain is utterly unnecessary.

Why?

Because...

... if you have a burning desire to become a thriving (not starving) professional freelance copywriter...

... I'm here to show you ALL the secrets, ALL the shortcuts, and ALL the successful tricks of the trade.

So you can finally get hip to how top freelancers have clients begging you to work for them...

• ... for ridiculous sums of coin (that you collect even before you start the job)...
• ... as you operate from a position of respect and power (which means you are in control, and never at the mercy of a client)...
• ... all while you enjoy the independence, confidence, and major income potential of a sought-after freelancer.

I began my own freelance career over 25 years ago.

I started out nearly broke, with little more than a few hints on how to proceed... and I had to figure out every detail of the gig on my own.

Man, it was gruesome at times.

I didn't simply do it the "hard way"...

... I often chose the WRONG path entirely, and suffered for it.

When I say I learned how to be a successful freelancer from the ground up, I'm not joking. Back then, there were ZERO books on the subject, no courses, no mentors, no nothing.

In fact, there were precious few working freelancers.

It was a semi-secret profession, and once I learned the trade I was often snuck in the backdoor of advertising agencies as a hired gun "Fixer"...

... because I knew how to write sales copy that actually SOLD STUFF (a skill most of the staff copywriters were naive about).

I learned, quickly...

• How to fill my own "Bag of Tricks" with all the skills and tactics necessary to tackle any kind of job I encountered...
• How to tap into that gushing river of desperate clients (including both embarrassed ad agencies, and nervous clients from every stratum of the business world -- small shops, medium corporations, huge mailers and famous entrepreneurs)...
• And how to polish my reputation to a blinding brightness, so clients sought me out before even considering any other freelancer (even though I charged higher fees).

Finally, I learned (the hard way, because I'm naturally shy) how to present myself as the Alpha Dog to each new client...

...so I got paid first, I was listened to, and I completely controlled the copywriting process.

(Most rookies get treated like low-level vendors... paid last, if at all, while given the run-around.)

(Plus, their copy -- no matter how right-on it might be -- gets stepped on, re-written, and ruined beyond belief... and when it doesn't work, the rookie gets ALL the blame.)

(I'll show you how to "stack the deck" with every client you have, so you control the entire process, as you SHOULD when you have the right chops.)

And, even more importantly...

... I learned how to charge and collect some of the highest fees paid to any freelancer in the world.

Including royalties that continued, at times, for years and years and years after I'd written the original piece.

I started out at the bottom of the food chain, and earned my reputation and wealth one step at a time.

And believe me... if I can do it, you have a shot, too...

... IF you really want the independence, steady capital and "make your own rules" lifestyle of a successful freelancer.

But it's almost guaranteed you will NOT become a top freelancer anytime soon...

... if you just blunder into the field alone and expect gnomes and fairies to help you out.

Get serious.

I'm offering you the opportunity to learn EVERYTHING about the best gig in the universe for a writer who craves a solid income and independence.

I broke the code on this game decades ago. I excel at it.

More important -- I TOOK NOTES during my rise to the "A List" (the world-renowned ranks of the most sought-after and highest-paid freelancers alive).

And, if you act fast I will share it ALL with you.

Including PERSONAL ATTENTION from me and my staff through my exclusive coaching program.

Here's the deal: I have put together a primo package of info, specific advice, coaching and customized critiques...

... into something I call the:

"PRO LEVEL CAREER KIT
FOR FREELANCERS".

Its packed with everything you need to know to get your game on right now.

Here's what you get... and if your mouth isn't watering like crazy half-way through reading this list, then friend, you aren't a candidate for this line of work:

Career Kit Goodie #1:

You get my famous (and justly notorious) "Freelance Manual" that outlines the entire roadmap for becoming a successful professional copywriter.

There are just 3 straightforward sections to this manual:

• "Get Good" -- the essentials of honing your skills to pro quality fast and understanding all the "X" factors of being prepared for ANY gig, in ANY market, with ANY client.
• "Get Connected" -- the secrets of networking and getting attention from the "right" business contacts so clients come to you, and you have a finger on the pulse of the hottest markets out there.

Even highly-skilled freelancers will shrivel and die in anonymity but will thrive simply by understanding how to get your reputation noticed and your "organic" networking permanently set in high gear.

• And finally... "Get Paid" -- all the ins and outs of establishing your fees, positioning yourself as THE expert to all clients, setting deadlines and payment schedules and making sure YOU get paid first, no matter what.

This section alone will set you light-years ahead of every clueless freelancer out there (no matter how much more experience or years in the career they have).

The audio CDs of the manual are included -- so you can listen to me talking you through the entire course.(Many of my most successful students learned the ropes with these CDs while driving to and from their old dead-end job.)

Total retail value JUST for the manual and CDs: $999. (But you can have it at a dramatically-reduced bargain price, as part of this unique package.)

Career Kit Goodie #2:

Plus, I'm going to throw in two bonus reports (which include both written transcripts and an audio CD), with my most successful freelance student, Harlan Kilstein.

These bonuses are critical for becoming a successful freelancer NOW because Harlan launched his freelance career by going directly to the Internet...

... to take full advantage of the way clients now search for copywriting help (using search engines).

Plus: How to use the fresh opportunities to make a well-designed "client bait" site stand out with pay-per-click and search-engine-optimization strategies.

He did this so well, right out of the blocks, that I decided to use back-and-forth interviews with him to create this Web-focused supplement to the basic Freelance Manual.

And, since Harlan is the kind of guy who wants to give back to the process that helped launch him he eagerly agreed to SHARE everything with you (including details of his original client-bait site).

Here's what you get:

Bonus Report #1: The first report (which includes both the CD and the transcript) is called, simply enough, "How To Find Clients". (Value: $99.)

Can't get more direct than that.

The Freelance Manual will get you prepared to take on clients in a powerful way (armed with respect, all the tools you need to do a damn good job, and the confidence to get paid what you're worth).

This Bonus Report goes deeper into the process of entering the jet-stream of hungry clients desperate for your services. Including:

• How to network with other writers...
• How to snuggle up close to potential clients at events...
• How to "work" the Adwords process to get your name in front of the hottest clients you'll ever find...
• How to tap into the "inside" of the Internet marketing world, where every successful marketer is desperate to find good writers...

And a lot more.

Plus, Harlan and I go deep into the real-world secrets of handling clients, nurturing contacts and building the networking skills to feed your career, making maximum use of the Web.

This is reality-tested advice that can short-cut your quest for clients, immediately...

... while giving you tools to continue finding them, and positioning yourself as the "first choice" writer available.

Bonus Report #2: This report (which includes examples of websites you can rip and use) is titled "How To Create Your Own 'Client Bait' Website". (Value: $99.)

This is a hard-core, super-detailed blueprint on making your online presence lure and reel in clients.

In this report, you'll not only learn the rules behind the strategies

... but you also get a head-start with total access to a "blueprint-ready" example of a real website that actually WORKED like crazy to bring in fresh clients.

Critical info that can get you up and running faster than you ever dreamed possible.

Career Kit Goodie #3:

A fresh copy of the legendary "Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets Of A Marketing Rebel" course... with a critical Web 2.0 update & complete CD set of me personally "talking you through" the course. (a $299.00 value)

"Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets" is easily the best-known and most-referred-to course that continues to jump-start the careers of a vast horde of successful entrepreneurs, small business owners, and pro copywriters every year.

I crammed almost everything I've learned from 25 years on the front lines of online and offline marketing and advertising into this manual.

It seethes with inside info and specific tactics for creating off-the-charts conversion-generating ads and structuring killer marketing campaigns.

Along with everything I've learned about the biz, I also loaded this course with a special Web 2.0 update -- covering the newest online tech strategies all copywriters and marketers must have in their tool-chest to stay on top.

Here's just a few of the critical copywriter secrets you'll discover in this killer course:

1. Your feature/benefit presentation (the art of creating pretty pictures in your prospect's heart and brain).
2. Your "voice" (the way your copy "sounds" in your prospect's head as he reads -- also important for video and phone scripts).
3. Your "close" (the "money shot" of any pitch, where you actually lay out your case for collecting cash).
4. Your guarantee (essential for removing all sense of risk in your prospect, and knocking him off the fence into becoming a paying customer).
5. Your testimonials (they MUST fulfill a specific job in your copy, or entire sections of your sales message will collapse).
6. Your story chops (great copy relies on good stories, but you must know the rules of delivering a "concise, focused tale" or you'll put your reader to sleep).
7. And, finally, the "greased slide" of your pitch (including the aesthetics of your design and layout, and the general "ride" you provide for your prospect leading to a sale).

These are just some of the points representing the "critical mass" of great copy...

... and EVERY ONE of these points are precisely what clueless rookies SCREW UP most often.

Having a veteran world-class copywriting legend share his most lucrative and practical secrets is like having King Kong on your side in a fight.

Discount Note: If you already have "Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets", you're way ahead of the game here.

AND we'll give you a fat discount on this already-bargain-priced package because of it. (Details below...)

Career Kit Goodie #4:

Plus, you get uncensored access to a hot Forum where you can post ANY question you need answered, and interact with other Forum members to your heart's content.

(There are a dozen TOP working freelance copywriters posting on that Forum, including several of the hottest "A List" writers in the game. There's a LOT of expertise and insight on the Forum, and they eagerly dig into questions and problems and copy that gets posted.)

PLUS... you get unrestricted access to THE VAULT OF RESOURCES...

... a virtual library crammed with "how-to" videos covering virtually every aspect of web marketing, copywriting, web 2.0., blogging and advanced web technology and much, much more.

... and fine-tune any aspect of your marketing, advertising and web technology.

Your inside roadmap to a thriving freelance career awaits.

Wanna know how much this big, sizzling-hot package costs?

I thought you might. What price would you consider fair?

After all, a step-by-step entry into the inside world of high-fee freelancing

... guided by me...

... can be WORTH a fortune if you're the right fit.

I make no promises here about how much you can make.

You can see from the testimonials that learning how to write copy for a fee has created lucrative careers for many.

But I will admit that I've had a few people fail to become high-paid freelancers.

They simply were not cut out to ever be confident about their skills, or to develop the cojones required to deal with clients.

However, if a career like this appeals to you...

... here's your best opportunity to get into it in the fastest, and most supported way.

If you believe you can hone your copywriting skills to killer levels (using the shortcuts and secrets and personal attention I provide)...

... and the idea of being independent, and going after clients with confidence and energy appeals to you...

... then you could soon be posting your own "wow!" testimonial on this page.

The writers who have succeeded are NOT smarter than other people.

They don't have any special insight, or special previous skills that give them an edge.

Naw. Many of them (like me) have failed at most other jobs they've held, and aren't a good "fit" in the business world as a wage-slave.

For some, freelancing is their best shot at successfully working for themselves.

The entrepreneurial aspects of becoming a freelancer offers freedom you cannot even imagine yet (if you've been "working" for a living up to now).

And the dough can be just outrageous, once you break the code on commanding (and deserving) high fees.

If you're a good "fit" for this career, the insider roadmap I offer is exactly what you need.

So... again...

... how much do you think this package should cost?

Before I tell you...

... let me explain why -- no matter WHAT the final price is -- you don't risk a penny of your purchase price.

Why not? Because my name is on this package and I don't WANT anyone to feel "stuck" with it if it doesn't meet your highest expectations.

Therefore, I am offering an unconditional, 3-month, 100% money-back guarantee.

Here's how that works: Order the package, and check it out to your heart's content for 90 full days.

Use it, abuse it, treat it like you own it.

If, by day 90, you decide it's not what you want after all...

... and you do NOT need to give me a reason...

... just return the materials before the end of your 90-day trial...

... and I'll give you a 100% refund of your purchase price.

No questions asked.

I know this package is the real thing.

I'm not really risking a lot by offering such a mega-generous guarantee... but I want YOU to feel utterly confident you don't risk anything by checking it out.

This means that if you do ask for a refund within your 3-month guarantee you will have seen, and experienced, the entire package...

For FREE.

Well, almost for free, anyway. You'll still have to pick up the reasonable shipping and handling charges.

That's the only way I'll let this package out of the office -- by guaranteeing that it meets your expectations, or we shake hands and walk away, with neither of us out any serious money. (We'll still be friends, of course -- I respect your decision, no matter what.)

So... with that killer, no-risk guarantee, and all that material and advice and personal attention from me and my staff...

... how much do you think the package is worth?

Consider this: I successfully offered a similar
freelance copywriters system for $3,999.

A small mob of copywriters grabbed that super-expensive package immediately and used it to become top-tier, in-demand freelancers.

However...

... I pulled that package from the market. I re-thought the price, and decided to re-introduce this current package...

... at a price that should make your little heart flutter with joy.

Your cost for this stunning package...
... is now just $599.00

"Yes, John, I want the Freelance Package"

And all of it -- the Freelance Manual, my kick-ass copywriting course, the reports, three months of the Insider's Club, all of it -- can be rush-shipped to you as soon as you're ready to order.

Thats more than $1500.00 worth of my core (and best) instructional materials for a screamin' deal.

Even if you end up writing a single auto-responder series for your clients you can easily recoup your investment here with your first job.

That's the beauty of a freelance career. You learn how to get good, how to stay connected and find clients, and how to get paid... and you're off to the races.

You won't need me anymore. You'll be a full-fledged, working, damn good freelance copywriter... with all the knowledge, insight and skills of a veteran pro.

For an eager freelancer, this is the beginning of the wildest and most rewarding adventure of your life.

And... you are very much invited to hit the link to visit the order form page, without risk. There is no obligation to buy. Looky-loo's are totally welcome.

PLUS...

... we'll even let you stretch out your payments over 3 months.

Click here and get your Freelance Package rushed to you on a generous payment plan:

"Yes, John, I want the Freelance Package"

That's about it for now.

Remember: You get an unconditional 3-month guarantee of satisfaction, and can recover 100% of your purchase price just by returning the package (in any condition) for a fast refund. (All you pick up is the shipping and handling.)

And finally... please consider that NOTHING will change in your life until you take positive action.

This is an opportunity that has been unavailable for a very long time and we are combining the best tools and resources for any freelance copywriter in this new, bargain-priced package.

I am shouldering all the risk here, really -- that 3-month guarantee is iron-clad, and backed by my considerable reputation (which I guard like a bulldog).

Freelancing saved my life, quite literally. I was perpetually broke, I got fired from nearly every job I ever had (because I'm such a poor fit in the corporate world), and I was going nowhere, fast.

I was 32 when I began my freelance adventure. No one helped me at all in the first couple of years, and what I learned about making this gig work has been proven in the real world, with real profits.

The ruinous pitfalls I show you to avoid are very real, too -- clueless rookies stumble into them every day.

I've taught a mob of people -- of all ages, from different walks of life -- how to become freelance copywriters, and many have picked it up within a few weeks. Some couldn't write their way out of a wet paper bag until I revealed the shortcut secrets of writing killer copy.

None had a clue how to even begin to find clients...

... or what to charge...

... or how to make sure they got paid...

... or how to handle deadlines and clients and new markets and all the other "X" factors that throw so many other wanna-be freelancers for a loss.

I reveal EVERY SINGLE SECRET I know about making freelancing pay off, and pay off huge.

I'm not kidding around here.

If you're serious about engaging in a freelance career, here's your chance.

Just don't dink around.

"Yes, John, I want the Freelance Package"

This is for a handful of folks who have been lusting after exactly this kind of opportunity -- to have a proven, respected pro guide you into the career (while watching your back with continued coaching attention).

You know who you are.

Get involved... now.

Stay frosty,
