Don't Mess With a Copywriters' Money!™

That shall be the name of my first movie!

Ha, nonetheless I wanted to share some success I had with you all... I had a client that owed me money for a few months worth of work. The client was "reputable" so I never questioned their a) willingness to pay, b) their ability to pay. Time goes on and I am asked to do more and more.

Then they go ice cold... nothing.

So I can't threaten to sue... that makes me look like an amateur.

I can't do anything dumb like crash their site...

But I want my money....

What to do...?

I basically used what I have been learning from you all through my regular "snooping" around here.

I wrote a "sales letter" style e-mail which basically told them I discovered that competitors were literally stealing their customers. Using what you folks have taught me, I wrote enough to arouse their curiosity.

I then let them know that I'd be available in about a week and a half to talk about it further, but if they settled the bill I'd consider hopping on the next plane to help them out.

it worked...

So, I am going to give these folks one last presentation and rid them from my life, I wanna thank you guys for the education!
