COPYWRITERS: 7 Tips on how to leverage partnership deals to earn $4000 to $40k+ Per Email. Without your own email list, product, or service delivery. Sounds outrageous I know... But here's the exact battle plan. >>>A Thread <<<

November 2015. I wrote one post on my personal Facebook. About 2,500 peeps on Facebook. 750 on email. Not exactly a big audience. That one post helped bring in $50,000 in sales in 30 days. Lots of freelancers think they need a big following first. Makes sense… Big feels safe. But followers don't pay. Hand-raisers do. Big audience… or the RIGHT post?

I say no to 8 out of 10 deals. Sounds kinda crazy… turning down money. But here's what that pickiness buys. I've never not been paid on a deal. Hundreds of partnerships. Only two slow payers. Lots of agencies take any client who can fog a mirror. Then wonder why the invoices drag. Picky ain't snobby. Picky is how BOTH sides get paid.

A client pays for the email once. A partner pays every time it sells.

A $30MM company wanted to get to $40MM. The usual plan? Hire a sales manager. Hire setters. Build a whole sales team. Then oversee 'em… and pay 'em. That's why they took me up on a coffee date. I could do it without 'em lifting a finger. They don't pay me a dime until after they get paid first. Hire a whole sales team… or partner with ONE dealmaker?

I once had a partner's offer selling like popcorn. $16,000 in sales. Then, after the third sale… the owner changed the Gmail password. Locked me out. Just like that. Lots of freelancers worry about getting paid on a rev-share deal. Fair. But the fix ain't a tougher contract. It's who holds the keys. ❌ Writing from somebody else's inbox and hoping. ✅ The sales run through an account I CONTROL. Keys first. Then the campaign.

3 sales back to back of $18k each. Plus 30% of all backend revenue generated. No ads. No webinar. No bro sales call. All in 24 hours. We didn't set the price. The buyers did. And that's not even all the money we generated.

Everyone has an opinion until you ask for a credit card...

$36k in 24 hours from an online auction… Didn’t auction my own thing. Wasn’t my audience. All I did was run it and get paid a fat %. Matter of fact? Sales are still coming in… Deals are better than clients.

I run a "group' vs... I run a community... Group vs community tells you a lot about how the owner sees his people. Language matters.

My buddy David Botella said it best: “The best teacher is the experience that you get when you DO a partnership deal…” Doing is way more effective than studying it alone...

Copywriters are out here charging $200 per email. I write for free until it works. Then I collect 40% of whatever the emails generate. One round made $197k in 10 days and my cut was $78,800. My partner paid nothing upfront. We both ate.

Had a cool conversation with @ChrisLDyson last week... He shared how freelance copywriters can book 1-2 coffee dates a week with dream partners... And walk away with a percentage of the profits. So they never have to chase monthly retainers again. 👇👇👇

Peeps be making it easy for clients to say yes, then drowning in service delivery. Calendar packed tighter than a can of sardines. In a partnership deal, 100+ buyers land in two weeks. The partner delivers the work. The dealmaker collects a fat percentage.

$78,800 from one partnership deal. Meanwhile a freelancer is sending 50 cold emails, doing unpaid strategy calls, writing spec work for free, and bidding against 12 people on Upwork. Same skillset. I just chose a different model. Deals work better than clients (for me).

Vendors get doors shut. Investors get coffee poured. I get paid based on results... ...not promises made up front.

100+ clients in two weeks sounds impossible with traditional client work. The calendar gets packed tighter than a can of sardines. In a partnership deal, the partner handles all delivery. No crimp in the hose. I just collect a fat percentage of the gross.

No one wants to hear this but the best way to make money online is writing emails for someone else's list and splitting the revenue. That's it. That's the whole model.

Every yes from a client used to pack my calendar tighter than a can of sardines. Service delivery, fires, deadlines. Partnership deals removed that crimp in the hose. 100+ clients in two weeks. The partner does the delivery. I just collect a fat percentage.

The fastest way to make money online isn't building a product. It's finding someone who already has one. Someone with customers. An email list. A backend collecting dust. You walk in with a skill they don't have. Write the emails. Run the promotion. Split the revenue. No pitch deck. No investor meetings. No 6-month build. Just a conversation and a contract. I've done this over 100 times. The longest deal took 14 days from intro to wire transfer.

Making sales isn't the same as enrolling a buyer... Sales you MAKE can unravel... Buyers who BUY don't.
