I sold my bodybuilding supplement business back in January of 2012.<\/p>\n

But I had \u201cmentally checked out\u201d at least 18 months prior.<\/p>\n

I was burned out. Cuz I had been writing copy for bodybuilding products non-stop since 1995.<\/p>\n

When I sold that biz, I told myself I would never write bodybuilding sales copy again.<\/p>\n

Never say never, right?<\/p>\n

Cuz I\u2019ve been bitten by the bug again.<\/p>\n

In other words, I want to write copy for a bodybuilding product.<\/p>\n

For a couple reasons:<\/p>\n

First of all, I finally got my fat ass back into shape this year. And I\u2019ve been immersed in bodybuilding stuff.<\/p>\n

Especially the \u201cole skool\u201d courses from some of my heroes like Vince Gironda, Larry Scott, Serge Nubret and Mohamed Makkaway.<\/p>\n

Secondly, back when I was writing bodybuilding copy, nobody could compete with me.<\/p>\n

And I do mean NOBODY.<\/p>\n

I hired some of the best copywriters in the world to beat my controls. (All names you would recognize.)<\/p>\n

NOBODY could beat ’em. (I think one of those ads is STILL running, virtually unchanged since 2004.)<\/p>\n

To hold a record like that was a huge boost to my ego.<\/p>\n

And damn near impossible to do.<\/p>\n

So… I wanna get my ego stroked like that again.<\/p>\n

What does all this have to do with YOU?<\/p>\n

Probably nut\u2019n honey.<\/p>\n

Unless you have a business in the bodybuilding market.<\/p>\n

If you sell info products or supplements in the bodybuilding market, what I\u2019m about to reveal could change your life (and wealth) in ways so breathtaking…<\/p>\n

…you\u2019ve probably never even IMAGINED anything so wonderful.<\/p>\n

Because if you qualify, I might want to write a new breakthrough control for you.<\/p>\n

Now first, I have to tell you something:<\/p>\n

These days it ain\u2019t exactly easy to get a spot on my dance card.<\/p>\n

In fact, right now as we speak, I\u2019m evaluating 8 different qualified client copywriting opportunities.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s in addition to stuff I\u2019m working on in my own businesses, including a HUGE new product and launch that will soon be THE buzz throughout the entire online marketing world.<\/p>\n

So I certainly don\u2019t NEED another gig.<\/p>\n

However, none of the copywriting gigs I\u2019m looking at are in the bodybuilding niche.<\/p>\n

Now… normally there are several hurdles to even get in the QUEUE to have me evaluate your deal. I explain that process in detail here…<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.dobermandan.com\/blog\/clients\/<\/a><\/p>\n

However… if you\u2019re in the bodybuilding market, I MIGHT make an exception.<\/p>\n

But time is of the essence.<\/p>\n

You see, I\u2019ve got enough potential copywriting gigs to book up my entire 2017.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m currently sifting and sorting, making my final decisions… and figuring out in which order I want to write these copy gigs.<\/p>\n

So if you need bodybuilding sales copy, I need to hear from you NOW… or you run the very real risk of not being able to get on my calendar until 2018.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested, simply hit \u201cREPLY\u201d to this email.<\/p>\n

Tell my assistant Jackie that you want me to evaluate your dealybop to see if you qualify for the opportunity to speak with me about working together.<\/p>\n

Jackie will tell you what to do at that point. (It will simply involve filling out a short questionnaire.)<\/p>\n

However… I definitely am NOT a cheap date.<\/p>\n

If your biz isn\u2019t big enough to support an investment of a 5-figure copywriting fee and a small percentage of royalties based on performance, please… don\u2019t waste my time.<\/p>\n

You see, I\u2019ve got more years behind me than ahead of me… so I\u2019m EXTREMELY guarded with my time.<\/p>\n

Plus, like I said, I don\u2019t NEED to do this at all.
\nI\u2019m just feeling nostalgic right now and would like to get back to my bodybuilding roots.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, thanks for listening. \u00a0Maybe we\u2019ll talk soon.<\/p>\n

All the best,
\nDoberman Dan<\/p>\n

P.S. I hope you had a merry Christmas. And I hope 2017 is your best year ever.<\/p>\n

Pax vobiscum.<\/p>\n
