๐Ÿ“ข 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? Itโ€™s 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 withโ€ฆ โŒ ChatGPT proposals flooding every inbox โŒ SEO โ€œexpertsโ€ who crack after one interview โŒ Scammers cashing out without doing any work You know that finding good help is possible, and they did too: โœ… "Ian is an excellent writer who is detail-oriented AND deadline driven. I hope to work with him again soon!" - Sara Teller Industries, LLC โœ… "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 โœ… "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 Hereโ€™s the two-step method that will get you past the wall of mediocrity right now! โ—Step One โ†’ The โ€œ5-Secondโ€ Ruleโ— This is gonna sound crazy, but you donโ€™t need 5 minutes to find a great copywriter. You donโ€™t even need one. The next time youโ€™re looking at proposals, simply apply this rule: โ€œeach one gets 5 seconds.โ€ What happens after that is up to you. If a copywriter canโ€™t grab your attention in 5 seconds, they canโ€™t grab your customersโ€™ either. Which leads me toโ€ฆ โ—Step Two โ†’ The โ€œStandoutโ€ Rule โ— Ever notice how 99% of Upwork profiles look the same? Itโ€™s not a coincidence. The sad truth is that most copywriters are more โ€œcopyโ€ than โ€œwriterโ€. And if they canโ€™t write original material for themselves, how can they do it for you? Luckily, thereโ€™s an easy way to weed out the fakes. Just ask this question about every profile you read: โ€œHave 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. Thatโ€™s 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. ๐ŸŒŸ The kind that hook you instantly ๐ŸŒŸ Hold your attention relentlessly ๐ŸŒŸ And stand out like a dynamite volcano Congratulations! You now have a foolproof formula to easily and reliably find the perfect freelancer. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Still reading? Wellโ€ฆ Perhaps you already found what youโ€™re looking for. โœ… Someone that writes irresistible headlines โœ… Creates unforgettable offers โœ… Who sees what everyone else is doing and finds a better way Because you want the best, not the followers. But before we start, letโ€™s get on the same page about one thing. Iโ€™ll only work with you if Iโ€™m 110% sure weโ€™ll both walk away satisfied and successful. Thatโ€™s why I donโ€™t do... โŒ Content Mills โŒ Anything X-Rated โŒ AI "Writing" But if youโ€™re looking for... โœ… Email/SMS Marketing + Newsletters (Klaviyo, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, MailChimp, Beehivv) โœ… Web/Social Media Copy (Wordpress, Squarespace, Shopify, Facebook, Instagram) โœ… VSL/TSL/Ghostwriting Then let me know exactly what your business needs, and you'll get I.T.

I also collaborate with a trusted team of specialists to ensure every project reaches its full creative and technical potential.
