Are You 100% sure of your ability to create great copy?
I was just wonderering how many are 100% sure in their abillty to create great copy that sells products
Ok you may be wondering why I am asking such a question your gonna say yes....aren't you?
The reason for asking may not be what you think. First let me tell you something that recently happened to me
I retired last year and put my building tools away so I could start enjoying life more.(although I did have to keep getting them out because my daughter purchased the house next door)
Anyhow I have been busy dusting them down and will start to use them this week....No I am not going back into full time work!
My daughters friend (Brian)as started his own offline business and I am going to refit his office for free (he just pays for materials)
I havent gone mad. It turns out this guy is a whiz software developer having done work for some large companies and developed stuff like vehicle tracking systems etc.
Anyhow I have had an idea for some software for while and recently posted a project on scriptlance and the lowest bid was $2,400. I showed this to Brian and told him what I wanted. Within minutes he was suggesting improvements to my idea and really impressed me so we agreed he will do the software and I will do his office.
Now to me this is a great deal because not only do I get this this done by someone I can meet with and iron out any flaws etc there is no danger of paying someone to do the work to find out it is not what you wanted. I feel we are both benefiting from each others experience.
Now I am 100& sure in this software product and believe it could become a best seller with the right launch tactics and sales copy etc.
However when looking for copywriters I find that most are out of my price range I was wonderering, if they are 100% sure in their ability why not take on jobs as a percentage of sales. Providing they believe the product fits thier own criteria to be successful.
The reason this came up as I was looking for a JV manager and quite a lot of these work on percentages rather than upfront fees. Why are copywriters different?
