this a-list copywriter wrote a sales letter that BOMBED?

True story:

Early on in my freelance copywriting career…

I got hired by an internet marketing OG.

Someone who’d partnered with all the big names in the business…

And run many super successful launches.

I won’t say who it was because he turned out to be a bit of a prick…

But he told me a story once that blew my mind:

He said he’d recently paid legendary A-List copywriter Dan Kennedy $50,000 to write a sales letter for him…

… and it completely BOMBED.

“What?!?!” I said.

I couldn't believe my ears.

You see, Dan Kennedy was one of my copywriting heroes.

I’d read all his books and practically worshipped the guy.

So I didn’t think it was even remotely possible for him to write something that didn’t convert.

It felt like my whole world came crashing down…

But I later discovered this was actually quite commonplace.

Everyone writes stuff that flops from time to time.

Even among A-Listers.

In other words…

No one writes a winner every time.

Not Dan Kennedy, Gary Halbert, or Eugene Schwartz…

And definitely NOT you or me.

Yet here’s pricing trap most writers fall into:

They think they need to be "the best writer in the world" to charge premium rates.

But clients don't pay for perfection.

Instead:

They pay for someone who understands how to position themselves as an expert…

Package their services in a way that commands premium prices…

And prospect for the right clients who value strategic thinking over flawless execution.

When you nail those 3 things..

Your success rate doesn't have to be 100% to make 6+ figures as a writer.

So if you’re an ambitious freelance writer looking to grow your income in 2026…

Then I recommend you sign up for the Get Writing Clients Challenge.

It’s hosted by my friends Dickie Bush and Nicolas Cole.

And in Cole’s case…

Those same 3 skills (Positioning, Packaging, Prospecting) are what took him from charging $20 per blog post to building a $3,000,000+ ghostwriting agency.

Not to mention publishing a pile of bestselling books and going on to all kinds of other entrepreneurial success.

So you’d be wise to follow his lead ;)

The 3-day challenge runs from February 17-19.

Here’s what you’ll be covering:

- On Day 1, you’ll discover how to become a “Category of One” ghostwriter so clients come TO you (instead of you having to chase them)

- On Day 2, you’ll discover how to turn your writing skills into a clear and repeatable offer you can sell to clients (and charge premium rates)

- On Day 3, you’ll discover how to find, approach and pitch high-paying clients (without being salesy or spammy)

Plus you’ll get lifetime access to all the recordings.

Along with a few other tactical bonuses to help you land premium clients.

And look, we might as well acknowledge the elephant in the room:

AI is about to make 90% of freelance writers obsolete.

The bottom and middle of the industry is going to get hollowed out.

But for those at the top…

Who invest the time to learn how to harness AI so they can scale themselves and serve clients better…

Well, I firmly believe that life is about to get a heck of a lot better :)

So if you're tired of undercharging because you don't think you're "good enough yet"…

And want to future-proof your freelance writing business in the age of AI…
