๐ข Skip the Search | Find Your Dream Copywriter in 5 Seconds with my Foolproof 2-step Method!
Tired of cycling through shifty copywriters when your brand deserves better?
Itโs not just you; Upwork is filled with cookie-cutter clutter and AI Spam.
After boosting profits for ฬถ3ฬถ4 35 businesses, I was stunned to hear how many struggled withโฆ
โ ChatGPT proposals flooding every inbox
โ SEO โexpertsโ who crack after one interview
โ Scammers cashing out without doing any work
You know that finding good help is possible, and they did too:
โ "Ian is an excellent writer who is detail-oriented AND deadline driven. I hope to work with him again soon!" - Sara Teller Industries, LLC
โ "It was a pleasure working with Ian as he is one of the MOST professional freelancers I have ever been working with. If you want serious cooperation and high-quality, then Ian is the #1 person to go to!" - Jaroslav Jakl
โ "Ian transformed my bland email marketing emails into emails that were SO much better than I had hoped for. His creative and unique approach to ideas for this campaign was outstanding." - Adam Goarley
Hereโs the two-step method that will get you past the wall of mediocrity right now!
โStep One โ The โ5-Secondโ Ruleโ
This is gonna sound crazy, but you donโt need 5 minutes to find a great copywriter.
You donโt even need one.
The next time youโre looking at proposals, simply apply this rule: โeach one gets 5 seconds.โ
What happens after that is up to you.
If a copywriter canโt grab your attention in 5 seconds, they canโt grab your customersโ either.
Which leads me toโฆ
โStep Two โ The โStandoutโ Rule โ
Ever notice how 99% of Upwork profiles look the same?
Itโs not a coincidence.
The sad truth is that most copywriters are more โcopyโ than โwriterโ.
And if they canโt write original material for themselves, how can they do it for you?
Luckily, thereโs an easy way to weed out the fakes.
Just ask this question about every profile you read: โHave I seen this already, or does it stand out?โ
And watch as you glide over the garbage to the 1% of unique, original, and creative freelancers.
Thatโs why I made my profile unlike anything else on Upwork.
Because I know that one-in-a-million clients deserve one-in-a-million freelancers.
๐ The kind that hook you instantly
๐ Hold your attention relentlessly
๐ And stand out like a dynamite volcano
Congratulations!
You now have a foolproof formula to easily and reliably find the perfect freelancer.

Why are you making less than your competitors when you have a better product?
I'll tell you. And without looking at your business at all, I know it's not your ads, emails, or landing pages. At least, not just one of those pieces.
The real reason you're leaving money on the table is structural.
Tinkering with one part of the structure produces small results. If you want revenue climbing month after month, you need to engineer a persuasive path your prospects enjoy walking down and buying from.
Everything leading up to the buying moment needs to be structured just right.
Your prospect needs to believe the right things โ about you, their problem, your solution, why now is the time to act, and why you're the only person who can truly solve it. Those shifts don't happen by accident. They have to be built into every ad, every post, every page, every email in a deliberate sequence.
Get it wrong, and prospects bounce like your business is a trampoline.
Get it right, and you capture new customers like a giant spider's web in a swamp.
And if you go above and beyond, customers will feel relief that you caught them rather than someone worse.
There's always someone worse selling a similar solution. You don't want them to win, do you? It's your duty to spin the strongest sales web you can. For your customers' sake and your business's fate.
So let's get fixin'.
The center of your sales system must be your email list. It's the one asset you actually own. No algorithm or platform can pull the rug out from under it. Show up consistently with a strong point of view and something worth saying, while entertaining the heck out of your readers, and you build a moat no competitor can easily breach.
Email is the ultimate sales flywheel.
Paid ads on Meta and organic content on LinkedIn and X pull strangers into your orbit.
Lead magnets and landing pages bring them inside.
Email automations and regular newsletters direct their existing desires onto your solutions.
Sales pages and upsells close them and feed your business's growing appetite.
I built this sales system for Live Free Academy. Ran their entire marketing operation solo. Grew their list from 5,000 to 37,000 active subscribers. Took them from five-figure ARR to seven-figure ARR in two years. By year three, courses, events, and membership generated $2.8 million. The newsletter I ghostwrote drove over 80% of revenue. A Bitcoin course that did $339K in its first year. Four events that grossed over $500K combined.
Their former VP of Sales called it "one of the most impressive and frankly genius marketing campaigns I've ever seen."
For AUTONOMY, I relaunched a dead newsletter and helped close 162 students into a $2Kโ$4.5K course.
For CrowdHealth, I rebuilt onboarding sequences. Open rates went from 65% to 93%. Unsubscribes fell from 2.49% to 0.59%. Deliverability went from 60 to 96.
What I do:
โ๏ธ Meta ads and LinkedIn/X ghostwriting to pull fresh leads into your world
โ๏ธ Lead magnets and landing pages that capture and convert
โ๏ธ Daily and weekly email newsletters that drive 80%+ of revenue
โ๏ธ Automations and sequences that move people through the belief shift process
โ๏ธ Launch campaigns for courses, memberships, events, SaaS, and ecom
โ๏ธ Sales pages and upsells built to close and compound
โ๏ธ Full funnel audits that find exactly where your money is leaking
But I'm not here to do piecemeal work.
I will come in as a fractional CMO for founders who want a growth partner, not just a writer. The scope might be limited or expansive, but I will insist on seeing and understanding your full sales architecture so I can help you in the best way possible.
I work with founders generating at least $100K a year who sell something that genuinely changes people's lives. If I wouldn't sell it to my wife, I won't sell it for you.
If youโd like to chat, send me a message right now. Tell me what your business is, what you sell, who you sell it to, and the number one challenge you're facing.
I'll take it from there.

===============
I write creative, emotionally compelling sales copy that generates signups and sales.
Copy that makes your prospects feel somethingโฆ
โ Without being overly sales-y
โ Without being corny or inauthentic
โ Without making promises your product canโt back up 100%
If youโre on this page, itโs because you need that kind of compelling sales copy for something thatโs important to you.
And I want to help you with that...whether or not we end up working together.
So, here are some hard-won insights on how to make sure your copy connects with peopleโfor free.
Avoid these 3 common mistakes, and youโll have taken the first step to writing irresistible sales copy.
===============
๐ก Mistake #1: Overlooking the REAL reason people buy your product
People buy products (or services) for one of two reasons: to increase pleasure or to decrease pain.
Itโs really that simple. The motivation to buy any product on the planet can be reduced to one of those two words.
Snickers bar? Pleasure.
Peloton bike? Pain.
Netflix subscription? Pleasure.
Accounting software? Pain.
Why do people buy YOUR product? What is the essential pleasure you are increasing or pain you are alleviating?
Any other reason to buy your product is derivative, and automatically less compelling.
Great copy will zero in on that central emotionโthen provide other reasons as bonuses.
Which leads us too...
๐ก Mistake #2: Appealing to logic instead of emotion
Humans do not make logical decisions.
We make emotional decisions, then justify them with logic.
Thereโs an important distinction hereโone that makes all the difference when it comes to writing sales copy.
Boring, ineffective copy is logic driven. It focuses on facts, features, and figures. How the pros outweigh the cons. It tries to reason with people.
Engaging, effective copy is emotion driven. It focuses on your deepest desires and fearsโdesires and fears that might seem completely unrelated to a $199.99 travel backpack, at least at first glance.
Good copy makes people FEEL something. Make sure yours does too. Use it to create an emotional vacuum (however subtle) that your product can then fill.
๐ก Mistake #3: Not using a PROVEN blueprint
Good copy uses certain blueprints.
Concepts, structures, and approaches that have sold hundreds of millions of dollars in products and been shown to work over and over again for decades.
Thereโs no reason to reinvent the wheel. Youโll get the best results by modelling what the pros do and adapting it for your situation.
For example, did you know that every type of lead and headline you see can be put into 8 basic categoriesโeach of which works best depending on your audienceโs awareness level?
My 3-Step Process for Writing Copy that Gets Signups and Sales
โ 1. Understand what makes you specialโand HOW to say it
I have yet to meet a business owner or marketing director who hasnโt heard the term โUnique Selling Proposition.โ
But when I ask about theirs, a surprising number of them have trouble articulating one thatโs compelling and easy to understand...
They either come up blank (rare)...
OR, what they call their โUSPโ is actually just a bunch of confusing sales jargon (much more common).
If you canโt quickly explain to anyone who asks why your product is better than your competitionโin words that require no prior familiarity with your companyโthen your copy is guaranteed to disappoint.
โ 2. Get inside the mind of your prospects and market
Who are your prospects and whatโs your market? Both have big implications for the most effective way to sell.
For exampleโ
Has your market been around for a while...(meaning more options, more competition, and more informed consumers)?
Or is it relatively newโฆ(meaning less competition and less information about your productโboth good and bad).
โ 3. Design an irresistible offer
The offer is the heart of your sales message.
Once weโre clear on your unique, USP, market, and customers, weโll be able to write an offer prospects will find very difficult to refuse.
Great offers have three parts:
โ Interesting FEATURES
โ Clear BENEFITS
โ Compelling PROOF
Thereโs a lot more I could say, but Upwork put a limit on the character count.
So letโs get down to business. Hereโs what I can do for you:
โ๏ธ Landing Pages, Sales Pages, Sales Letters, and VSLs
โ๏ธ Email Copy and Autoresponder Sequences
โ๏ธ Facebook Ads and Instagram Ads
โ๏ธ Website Copy and Content

I have significant writing, research, and consulting skills and experience.
During my 34 years as an attorney, writing legal documents was an essential part of my law practice. I regularly drafted a variety of legal documents, including without limitation, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, entity formation documents, operating agreements, securities offering documents, immigration petitions, and many other different types of contracts and agreements. It was critical that I drafted these documents in a manner consistent with my clientsโ intentions. As a result, these documents had to be drafted precisely and clearly. Besides legal documents, as an attorney, I also regularly wrote letters to my clients and letters to opposing counsel or government officials, such as opinion letters on legal issues, and sales letters and proposal letters concerning possible work. In writing these letters, I had to be both informative and persuasive. My clients would commonly request my help in writing certain of their business documents, and I would โghostwriteโ for them such documents as business plans, loan applications, and solicitations to investors. From time to time, I would review the work of other attorneys and thereby developed experience in proofreading and editing (where necessary) their writings. I also wrote speeches, seminar materials, and numerous articles on various legal and business topics for a variety of audiences, including without limitation, sponsored by American Bar Association, Chicago Bar Association, Northwestern Mutual, Merrill Lynch, American Airlines, and Association of Legal Administrators. I also had extensive experience in researching both legal issues and other issues related to legal matters as an attorney. I am very qualified in the use of Lexis and Westlaw to research issues.
Currently working as a consultant, I assist clients with writing and research projects, including without limitation, that I wrote blogs and researched and analyzed immigration issues for a company that helps people obtain visas and residence permits and citizenships in the United States and other countries around the world. My writing and research skills are very helpful to my clients as I provide business and wealth planning and other advice concerning the subjects of estate planning, asset protection planning, tax planning, series limited liability companies, corporations, and other business entities, securities, real estate, intellectual property, probate, immigration, business transactions, international business, and contracts. In connection with this work, I write a monthly newsletter.
Apart from my work experience, I also have recent writing experience in helping my children with their high school essays, college application essays, and scholarship applications, and writing an obituary for a family member.
I have always loved to write and truly get satisfaction from a well-crafted, coherent composition. I believe that written communication involves more than coding and emojis. I look forward to the opportunity to help others with their writing, research, and consulting needs.
