They&#8217;re trapped in the &#8220;paying your dues&#8221; phase&#8230; or as John calls it&#8230; the <em>&#8220;shameless whore&#8221;<\/em> phase.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever been there?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re stuck accepting crappy gigs you don&#8217;t really want&#8230; with difficult clients who don&#8217;t really &#8220;get&#8221; the value of what you do&#8230; for a mere pittance of what you <em>should<\/em> be earning.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re scrambling for the meager scraps left over at the smorgasbord&#8230; after the &#8220;big dogs&#8221; have happily feasted on all the good stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>I&#8217;m Here To Tell You&#8230; <br \/>There&#8217;s A Better Way!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You see, I never really had to pay my dues as a freelancer.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I used the leapfrog method&#8230; totally  bypassing the shameless  whore phase and jumping right into working with  clients who pay the big  bucks.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, my first paid gig as a freelancer was $6,500. That&#8217;s equal to about $12,000 in today&#8217;s money.<\/p>\n<p>And $12k ain&#8217;t bad for the first time up to bat, is it?<\/p>\n<p>Trust me&#8230; I didn&#8217;t get paid that much as a beginning freelancer because I&#8217;m the <em>&#8220;best copywriter in the world&#8221;<\/em>&#8230; like a few delusional souls claim on their websites.<\/p>\n<p>No, there&#8217;s one very simple reason I was able to demand&#8230; and get&#8230; much higher fees than most rookie freelancers.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m going to show how YOU can do it, too&#8230; because I&#8217;m revealing all my secrets in a FREE teleseminar entitled&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>&#8220;How To <\/strong><strong><strong>Attract<\/strong><\/strong><strong> High Paying Freelance Gigs <br \/>And <\/strong><strong>Make The BIG BUCKS As A Copywriter<\/strong><strong>!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After decades of staying under the radar, why am I revealing all my best secrets for making big money writing copy?<\/p>\n<p>You see, I&#8217;m tired of seeing talented rookie copywriters suffering needlessly for years paying their dues, making a pittance and living hand to mouth.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also tired of the newbies who try to &#8220;fake&#8221; their way into the bigger money gigs before they&#8217;re ready. They&#8217;re destroying their reputations, doing a HUGE disservice to their clients&#8230; and giving the rest of us copywriters a black eye.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A lot of inexperienced copywriters think they can attract high paying clients by simply faking a successful veteran&#8217;s posture and attitude.<\/p>\n<p>These are the exact same guys who claim to be <em>&#8220;the best copywriter in the world&#8221;<\/em> on their websites and newsletters. They think it will work for them because it worked for Gary Halbert.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, I&#8217;m getting pretty tired of it&#8230; and it&#8217;s starting to piss me off.<\/p>\n<p>It worked for Halbert because he had the chops and experience to back it up.<\/p>\n<p>The posers do not.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the only thing claiming you&#8217;re the <em>&#8220;best copywriter in the world&#8221;<\/em> accomplishes is&#8230; it announces to all the real veteran players in this biz that you&#8217;re nothing but a mediocre hack at best.<\/p>\n<p>And frankly, it makes you look like an insecure, self-aggrandizing, chest-pounding arrogant ass.<\/p>\n<p>The point of this little rant (besides chastising a couple people who truly deserve it) is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>You Can&#8217;t Fake Your Way <br \/>To The High Paying Gigs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And the truth be told&#8230; you&#8217;re going to struggle for years in the &#8220;shameless whore&#8221; phase if you don&#8217;t discover my secrets for getting through it as quickly as possible&#8230; or completely leapfrogging over it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you put my secrets into practice, you&#8217;ll never have to go begging for business.
