How 1 Question On The Warrior Forum Launched My Career

There are two ways to be able to edit your thread subject.

1. On the index page, just double click into the thread title and edit.

2. While in edit, hit the edit button a second time and it will open your subject for editing.

Perhaps for both ways, I'm not sure, you need to make sure your options in your profile are set for the most advanced editing choice.

My understanding of the difference is that if positioned correctly, one offers what the target market is looking for and therefore does not need to "prospect" like the stereotypical (and intrusive) door to door salesman. I wonder how you make your target market aware that you offer what they are looking for without some form of prospecting though. I am certain that things like visibility and established persona of authority regarding a niche help to position someone well, but it is my impression that you still have to ask for the work. I am not sure how you get "invited" when you are unknown.

Studio13 - thanks so much; that clears up my confusion. I stay away from the occult, but erotica has been very fun. I mostly deal with Femdom and related sub-niche culture (feminization, humiliation, cuckolding, and so forth). You should cross over sometime, we would love to have you :-)

I'm completely dense when it comes to any type of Internet Marketing.

So, for me the best ever way to get clients is...

Send your "targets" a sensational Sales letter.

(It's low cost, easy to do, and the results are fabulous).

You can follow it up by phone.

I never do - I wait for them to phone.

Because when they call (and if your "pitch" is good - they will).

You know you have a red hot client.

Hope this helps.

Here's How They Did It...

Bob Bly - I mailed out 500 letters and within four or five weeks, I had 35 people respond, which was a 7% response and I was on my way. I had 35 people who were interested in learning to some degree about my copywriting services and I began to respond to those as best I could in my limited time because I was already employed. And they began to become clients.


Clayton Makepeace - Clayton would mail to the marketing directors of 100 direct response companies every week. He would send a package with appropriate copywriting samples and a sales letter selling his services. He sent the package by federal express to each marketing director and he would call the day he sent them to let the marketing directors know to expect something he was sending them. Then he'd call the day after the package was scheduled to arrive and ask the marketing director if he/she had received it.


Parris Lampropoulos - Parris went to a direct response conference in Las Vegas boasting some of the greats of copywriting as speakers including Gary Halbert, Ted Nicholas and Dan Kennedy. He wrote a sales letter for his own services while he was at the conference with the title "How To Hire A World Class Copywriter for Pocket Change".


Arthur Johnson - Million dollar copywriter Arthur Johnson ran into an old high school friend in a bar. She knew he always wanted to be a writer, explained that the place she worked - Franklin Mint - was looking for writers and asked him for a resume. Arthur was hired as a copywriter by the Franklin Mint.


Dan Lok - Canadian copywriter Dan Lok started out with no money and very little command of the English language (English was his second language). Dan gave his first copywriting prospects an offer most found it hard to refuse - they would only have to pay him if his copy produced profits for them. To capture his first clients he asked for a set fee if he made profits for his clients.
