Copywriter Needed

Jack Bastide · 11-23-2009, 09:13 AM

Hello,

Im looking for somebody to write my copy
on a "performance" or "Pro bono" basis

This is an EASY JOB for somebody who knows
what they are doing

It needs to be a minimum of 20 pages and I need
it by Wednesday

If I can drive some traffic and make some money
you may make a little money

If not .. oh well sh@t happens! at least you have
something for your portfolio

I expect to get a lot of Pm's so better hurry

Jack

P.S. I know a lot of marketers so If you do a good
job I can get you more jobs just like this one!

Jack Bastide · 11-23-2009, 09:16 AM

Response has been Overwhelming

I am wading through a Mountain of Pm's

I will make my decision by tomorrow

Keep the Pms coming!

Tinkerbell · 11-23-2009, 09:37 AM

Hilarious.

Ken_Caudill · 11-23-2009, 09:38 AM

I have some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: We're having manure for dinner.

Good news: There's plenty of it.

Scott Murdaugh · 11-23-2009, 09:43 AM

Hi Scott,

I will be unable to hire you because you have some mis-spellings

I am only looking for High Profile Top Quality copywriters that
know how to spell

Jack

Ken Strong · 11-23-2009, 10:24 AM

I am definitely interesting in pro-bono work. I often listen to U2 while I am working and enjoy his singing very much.

Tinkerbell · 11-23-2009, 10:45 AM

Dear Jack,

I think you're discriminating against bad spellers. Besides, spelling skills (or even grammar) wasn't a condition of your OP. You just said the ideal candidate should know what they're doin'.

You ought to reconsider Scott's offer.

Ok you are correct

Scott If you can provide me with an 18 page
sample letter written from scratch by 4 EST
I will consider you

The product you will be selling is this:

Amray Scanning Electron Microscope w/Digital Imaging

This is the one with 60° Conical Final Lens and the
Five Axes Motorized Wafer Stage .. Im sure you are familar
with it

If you are a quality copywriter this should be a piece
of cake

Jack

ghyphena · 11-23-2009, 11:47 AM

I presume that, apart from the obvious portfolio-multiplying advantages, there is also potential for exposure... and perhaps a chance to be hired by The Big Companies?

PS - I've done John Carleton's course.

Bev Clement · 11-23-2009, 12:23 PM

Pick me! Pick Me! I did Jack Bastide course, he proofread it.

I do performance as I can sing

Scotty will be fine for you, then, Jack. He's versatile and flexible (I'd only be willing to do copy for the one with the 75° elliptoidal lens, myself. A girl has to have limits, you know, otherwise people will take advantage).

I suggest we reframe these offers as 'Pro-Boner"...

Tinkerbell · 11-23-2009, 01:02 PM

::CHOKE!::

Brian,

I just snorted macaroni out my nose. Thank you. Sheesh.

David Babineau · 11-23-2009, 01:06 PM

I can't remember the last time I laughed so much reading a thread

Priceless...

Sure thing... do you want one word or two on each page?

Greycap · 11-23-2009, 01:24 PM

This thread is sooo funny, but still begs the question:

How can one offer copywriting services, without proof of accepted work?

In other words, how does one slip past the catch 22 situation?

If one cannot convincingly write an offer to write offers...

One cannot write offers....

No catch 22, really.

; )

Cherilyn Woodhouse · 11-23-2009, 03:27 PM

Exactly, Brian

If you can't convince someone to hire you without references, based on only your demonstrated skill AT THAT POINT - you probably shouldn't be writing copy anyway

And Jack - I was ready to come in here and give you what for when I saw the ToolTip snippet of this thread LOL. I know you know better than this... I guess I should put my gullible hat away, it has been used against me far too much today!

Hilarious thread. I read it, and wondered if you'd gotten that via email... Then thought to myself, "I think I know that guy." LOL

Tell the prospective client why he should ignore it.

If you do a good job, that's proof.

superfishall · 11-24-2009, 02:07 PM

What kind of copy do you expect to get for free?

Jack, you're a funny, funny dude.

Especially with the "overwhelming response" only 3 minutes after the OP.
