"Prove you're Good at Writing Copy by Selling your Own Product"
I think it's a great idea! Having great numbers to prove my copy sells in cold emails to potential clients would be...more than helpful.
Here's the problem: what can I sell?
It's winter, but I'm willing to hang flyers anywhere and put up door hangers, but I'm not interested in running a service business, or starting one with a business partner. I just want to sell through the written word.
I've helped around 15 businesses for free I found on Reddit and have been paid by three or four others. I'm even hungrier to write now than when I started.
Just wondering if anybody had any ideas on what I could sell. The biggest two problems I see are getting eyes on what I write, and the thing I'm selling.
