The Copywriter’s 6-Figure Income Sprint

My Proven “Turn Key” Business Model to Earn a Consistent $9,000 – $26,000 Per Month, Every Month, With Fewer Clients, Making a Deeper Impact, and Taking Back Your Life

Are you ready to transform your freelance copywriting job into a sustainable, scalable, and wildly profitable 6-figure business in as fast as 60 days like Chris? 

Not only did this work for Chris, I discovered this model as I grew to $26,000 per month of income in less than 24 months… 

While having STRICT client boundaries, NOT working weekends, NOT working evenings, and vacationing multiple times per year…

AND delivered the best (record breaking) results for my clients.

I’m going to show you exactly how I did it.

Join me as I guide you step-by-step through an ultra-personal video-course experience to… 

• STOP providing strategy and consulting for free
• STOP being an order taker
• ?STOP selling “words on a page”
• STOP bidding projects
• ?STOP the never-ending cycle of prospecting for the next client
• ?STOP the feast-famine cycle (best month followed by worst)
• ?STOP letting clients control your life and walk all over you

And most importantly… 

• START getting paid (a lot) for strategy and consulting
• START being an advisor to clients who respect you
• ?START providing comprehensive strategy (first) and copywriting
• START earning $36,000 – $72,000 per client (even small biz’s)
• ?START developing deeper relationships with your clients
• ?START earning consistent, predictable, reliable income every single month
• ?START taking care of YOU, set boundaries, and build your business around your life 

You’ll be guided through my easy-to-follow, 6-step process to learn the theory behind the pivots you’ll be making for your own businesses.

Then we’ll shift our focus to execution.

Each module has a “business assignment,” so you’ll experience wins damn-near every day you’re in there building your business.

It will all come together, one puzzle piece at a time.

You’re going to experience a massive transformation – both personally and professionally as you reposition and repackage your existing services into a high-ticket, retainer model business that will empower you to earn $8,000… $10,000… $15,000 or even $20,000 PER MONTH with only a handful of clients that you actually LOVE working with.

But it ain’t all about the money, honey.

This is about building your LIFE first.

Because burnout happens when you are trying to fit in everything that’s truly important “when there’s time.” 

(This is the miserable cycle of “fitting my life in around my business” — been there?)

What’s important for you to have more time for?

Before we get into details, it’s important to know who this course is NOT for.

It is NOT for you if you’re brand new or just getting started in copywriting.

It is NOT for you if you don’t like developing long-term relationships.

It is NOT for you if you’re addicted to the “churn and burn” chase of new clients.

It is NOT for you if you aren’t really good and really passionate about your work.

It is NOT for you if you enjoy “starting at zero” every month to chase the next new project and land the next sale.

BUT, this course is 100% for you if…

You LOVE the idea of transitioning from “order taker” who delivers words on a page to becoming a highly paid advisor who’s getting compensated for all the consulting and strategy you’ve been providing for free (or not charging enough). 

You LOVE developing long-term relationships.

You LOVE the idea of developing consistent, reliable income every month.

You LOVE the idea of life first – business second. 

You LOVE the idea of earning more with less (less clients and offering hyper-focused services).

And most importantly, if you identify as someone who is eager to continually develop (both personally and professionally) to the next level, this course is for you.

Because you’ll feel the “switch flip” as you become even more empowered and confident speaking with clients, acquiring clients, and honing your craft as you specialize in your sweet spot. 

Ready for a sneak peak to see what’s inside waiting for you? 

Part 1: Starting Your 6-Figure Income Sprint!

Join me for a personal video introduction where you’ll learn the right mindset to approach your new business development. 

Summary:

 1 Video: Introduction – Start here.

Part 2: Income & Lifestyle Planning: How to build your business around your ideal life

Here is where you’ll build the foundation for your new life and business. Notice how I said “life” first? Even though this is a business development program, it is essential that you focus on YOU first. 

Lesson 1: Income and lifestyle planning: Vision + Goal = Action Plan

Inside this section, you’ll be guided through my step-by-step process to define your…

• Lifestyle goals
• Income goals
• “Non Negotiables” 
• Daily routine
• ?… and more

You’ll assemble all of this into a simple plan that will become your guide and backbone to your new life (and business). 

Then, you’ll put “pen to paper” and complete the exercise on the simple Google Doc provided that accompanies the video.

This section has been the source of raving member reviews because it’s helped members get crystal clear about why they are building this new lifestyle business and how they can bring it to life.

1 Assignment: Vision + Goal = Action Plan

Part 3: Discovering Your “Needs Based Niche” 

This lesson is broken down into two parts to make it easy to digest so you can learn how first, then follow my instructions.

Lesson 1: Backbone of identifying the right clients for your “needs based niche”

In this video, I teach you what a “needs based niche” is, why it is different (and in my opinion, far superior) than what mainstream marketing defines as a niche. 

You’ll learn what common “threads” to look for, and how to spot ongoing needs for your new breed of clients.

Lesson 2: Step-by-step exercise to nail down your own needs based niche

This is your assignment. But don’t worry, you’ll have me by your side walking you through the process step by step in an easy-to-follow video.

At the end of this section, you’ll have a brand new, fully documented “Needs Based Niche” Statement that will soon be the forefront of your marketing.

Later on (in Part 5) you’ll be updating your LinkedIn profile and website to reflect your new “Needs Based Niche” Statement.

Did you notice how through each section you’ll be truly implementing what you learn, building as you go, and experiencing breakthrough-wins around every corner?

• Backbone of identifying the right clients for your “needs based niche” 
• Step by step exercise to nail down your own needs based niche

1 Assignment: Your New “Needs Based Niche!”

Part 4: Creating Your “High-Ticket Copy Package”

This is where you go from being “just a writer” to becoming a highly paid consultant, advisor, strategist, and copywriter. 

You’ll complete this lesson with a crystal-clear package of what you’ll be offering your new clients.

And, you’ll be guided through my pricing process (which members have said was beyond eye-opening).

At the end, you’ll not only have your new rates nailed down (likely somewhere between $2,500 – $6,000/mo), but you’ll feel wickedly confident about it.

Over these 3 lessons, you’ll likely discover what you’ve been doing for free for far too long. Don’t worry, I did the same thing, and that’s why today is the day it comes to an end.

Want to know the best part?

You’ll likely end up substantially reducing the services you offer. At the same time, you’ll be upping your rates.

Music to your ears right? 

(P.S. I only work in Google Docs and meet on Zoom. Period. Oh, and I only provide consulting, strategy, and copywriting for direct response assets.) 

Lesson 1: How to prepare a crystal-clear, high-ticket service offering on a month-to-month (retainer) basis

Now you’re going to be taking the first step to break the price-product link. Today is the day that selling words on a page or even talking about an hourly rate comes to an end. 

You’ll be focusing on value-based billing. The skills you learn in this lesson will come in handy as we get to Part 5: Getting Clients. 

Lesson 2: Creating your “High-Ticket Copy Package” 

You’re going to wrap up this lesson with your first piece of marketing collateral you can start using. 

This section is one of the most powerful exercises I’d ever done as a copywriter.

It acts as a powerful mirror, shining back to you just how valuable your services are. 

After you complete this assignment (that accompanies the video), you’ll have a crystal-clear service offering highlighting exactly how you’ll be serving clients every month moving forward.

Lesson 3: Pricing your new “High-Ticket Copy Package”

Let’s face it… the only obstacle between you and landing $3,000 – $6,000/mo clients is the doubt in your own mind.

This video-guided assignment will give you an unshakable format to price anchor against what your target clients are already comfortable paying. 

When you realize (and I found this out the hard way) how much your clients are paying for rather hands-off services, you’ll feel extra confident commanding a premium.

At the end of this exercise, you’ll not only have your pricing nailed down, you’ll feel unstoppable when it comes to communicating your value to the next potential client you talk to.

Part 5: Start Getting Clients! 

Buckle up, because you’re about to slam on the accelerator here… 

This is a jam-packed, 7 lesson section guiding you through every single step of the client acquisition process. 

Oh, and you’ll get everything from training, to swipe emails, to proposal templates, to presentation systems, and more… 

Ready?

Lesson 1: Expectations: Get comfortable saying NO to get to YES!

Your only goal is to get 3-6 clients. That’s not that many, right? In order to get there, we have to experience a transformational mindset shift. 

You’ll get comfortable saying NO and coming to terms with the fact that you’ll be saying NO to the majority of opportunities that come your way.

Think of it like finding 3-6 new best friends. Yeah, you have “friends” that you hang out with once every few months… or the people you just grab a drink with every now and again.

But then there’s your close friends. The ones you can chat with on the phone for hours, or lean on when times get tough. Those are like the clients you’ll be finding, and sometimes they take a bit of patience to get there, but rest assured – they are as excited to meet you as you are to meet them!

Lesson 2: Client acquisition channels – Existing clients, past clients, referrals, and cold prospects

NOTE: This section includes swipe emails for you to use! 

Where should you start getting clients? Start with your existing clients, then move to past clients, then to referral relationships, and only turn to cold prospects after that.

As a copywriter with 1+ years experience, you likely have a list of clients you’ve served or are serving. So long as they are a good fit for your new model, I’ll teach you how to approach them with one goal in mind – getting a call set up. 

Either way, you’ll learn how and why to target each of these potential client segments and leave this video armed with everything you need to begin your outreach. 

Lesson 3: Crafting your introductory offer

What you’re about to learn in this section is the single most valuable “breakthrough” I’ve had in the marketing landscape. It’s all about crafting a truly irresistible offer.

In fact, I used these very same concepts to reposition a webinar and coaching program, and with just a new offer, my client 2x’d their sales. 

You’ll learn my 4-quadrant system to craft your introductory offer (no more “Consultations” or “Strategy Sessions”) that will make your prospects eager to book time with you (just make sure to qualify them first). 

I highly encourage you to use everything you learn in this training with the clients you serve. 

Lesson 4: Bring your office to life! Updating your website + LinkedIn

Are you ready to share your new business structure with the world? 

Here is where you start transforming your public image and online reputation to reflect who you will be exclusively serving moving forward, your “needs based niche,” and what you’ll be providing for them.

I walk you through the key areas of your LinkedIn profile and website to update, so your brand messaging is consistent across all platforms.

Lesson 5: Outreach to start getting clients! 

NOTE: This section includes an entire swipe file of emails to send. 

Ready for my favorite section of all? Getting the conversation started with potential new clients! 

This is where it all starts coming together as you follow my simple process to do one thing and one thing only…

Excite your prospects about the opportunity to hear what you’ve been working on. 

The way I approach this outreach process is very different than what you’re probably used to or have been taught in the past.

Use the swipe emails provided to make the process a breeze.

Lesson 6: Preparing your proposal 

NOTE: Proposal Template included. 

Your proposal is the single most important element of kickstarting your new 

long-term relationship on the right foot.

I have the battle scars to prove how essential this process is. 

Nearly every client conflict or “scope creep” is due to 1 thing and 1 thing only… the lack of clear expectations.

Using my proposal template will help you not only win the business, but establish the foundation for a prosperous relationship to come.

Teaser: My proposals include my availability, working hours, crystal-clear boundaries (I don’t work evenings and weekends), and when/how payments are collected.

With these terms clearly identified and agreed upon out of the gate, your clients will respect them! 

Lesson 7: Selling and pitching

NOTE: My selling and pitching template is included for an easy-to-follow format while you’re conducting the call. 

Selling doesn’t have to be scary or intimidating when you have the right process in place. 

I cut my teeth in door-to-door sales and learned all the hardest lessons the most painful way you can imagine. I’ve also trained sales teams across the world and have audited sales calls from dang near every service niche you can imagine.

I’ve compiled what works into a stupid-simple system that I’ve personally used to land retainer clients and $7,500 day rates. 

Remember, it’s not just about the sale… It’s about finding the right clients and starting your relationship off the right way. 

Build the foundation right from the “first date” and it’ll be as close to smooth sailing as it can be.

Follow my process and pair it with your proposal template above and you’ll be armed with everything you need to present with more confidence and clarity than you’ve ever felt before.

Part 6: Secrets of Successful Client Relationships

It’s smooth sailing, until it’s not right? One of my favorite quotes by Franklin Roosevelt, “A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.”

Well let me tell you… I’ve faced some rough, choppy, monsoon seas accompanied by gale force winds in my time.

And guess what? Nearly every time was my own dang fault.

This section will teach you how to navigate rough waters (which are inevitable when it comes to relationships). 

Use the tactics you’ll learn in these 3 lessons and I assure you that client conflict will transform from stress into a growth opportunity.

I’ve even re-negotiated higher fees and stricter boundaries using these simple strategies. 

Lesson 1: How to manage client relationships with a successful workflow

Ever have a client come out of the woodwork with a last minute demand? Or creep up on a deadline? Or wait until the 11th hour to submit their revisions on a project?

That won’t happen again when you use this workflow.

Dang near every time I’ve felt taken advantage of, or that my clients were steering my life, it was because I didn’t have a clearly defined workflow that my clients agreed to.

Once I cracked that code, I could respectfully push back to not only respect my own boundaries (and sanity), but it helped me produce my best work. 

Lesson 2: Handling conflict as an opportunity

Have you seen the copywriting FB groups where someone rants about a client and everyone responds, “Fire them and walk away!” Well… that ain’t always the best answer.

Don’t get me wrong. There’s a time and a place to walk away, BUT that’s a last resort.

Conflict truly is an opportunity. It resembles one of two things. 1) Unclear expectations between you and the client, or 2) Scope creep (which is a huge compliment that they find you tremendously valuable).

When you rise to the occasion and handle client conflict with an open heart and a clear outcome in mind, whatever happens next is just destiny.

I’ve been in a hair-pulling, rage-filled, anxiety-ridden state ready to fire a client and flip the bird, to taking a deep breath, preparing a plan to reach a resolution, and saving the relationship for many years to come. 

I’ve also used this to re-negotiate higher rates (more on that in the next lesson). 

Whatever the outcome, you’ll grow personally, be better prepared for next time, and feel damn good about how you handled it. 

Lesson 3: When to go above and beyond, and when to increase retainers

When it comes to developing long-term client relationships, there’s a fine line between delivering top-notch service and getting taken advantage of.

I’ve gone above and beyond for too long that it begins to set unrealistic expectations (that bit me in the ass later down the road as I got busier), and there’s times that it made me feel resentful.

At the same time, I’ve had situations where clients ask for something small and I say yes for no other reason than a genuine desire to strengthen the relationship and make them happy.

Remember, we’re focusing on LIFETIME VALUE of a client. I’ve had 1 client pay me nearly $300,000 to date (over the course of our relationship). 

It’s a fine line between when to say “yes” and just do it versus “yes, and…” let’s revisit how we’re working together to see if there’s a need to increase my involvement (and thus, YOUR monthly rate). 

This video will show you how to differentiate between the two, and how to tactfully and successfully renegotiate a higher rate. 

(P.S. I have renegotiated higher rates with about 50% of my clients after they saw how much value I contributed and they just kept wanting more.)

PLUS 8-Weeks of Personal Support Inside the “6FIS” Private Slack Channel

What happens if you get stuck or need feedback? I gotchyou. 

Each section has an assignment, and when you’re done, you’ll post it inside the “6FIS” Slack Channel that corresponds with your assignment.

I’ll prepare a personal video screencast walking through your assignment and giving you 1-on-1 feedback, direction, and advice on your assignment. 

These will all be posted inside the community channels so everyone can learn from each other. 

You can expect personal feedback like this 

Personal feedback that will help you…

• Gain clarity about your “needs based niche” and target market
• Choose what services to trim back your services to focus on your sweet spot (or “genius zone”)
• Finalizing the details about your “high ticket copy package”
• Determine how much to charge (and it will be more than you think – I damn near guarantee it!)
• ?… and a whole lot more

But why only 8 weeks? 

Because most people will get through the program that fast (or faster), and time pressure is one of the strongest motivators to get things done. 

What good is a course if you don’t do it? 

Having inspiration and support for 8-weeks means that I’ll be holding you accountable while helping you fast-track your…
