Client #1 will change your life
Six years ago, here's what happened...
Landing my first copywriting client wasn’t glamorous.
It was February 2019.
I had just spent the previous six weeks grinding away:
Waking up at 5-6 am every morning for “power writing” sessions
Listening to copywriting podcasts on the 1.5 hour commute to work in rainy Vancouver
Trying to stay hopeful while exhausting myself at my 12-hour day job
Coming home from work drained from the long work hours and choosing to flip open my laptop to write some more copy (rather than mindlessly scroll on social media)
Eating dinner with my wife, then going through my copywriting books and courses (rather than Netflix and video games)
My weekends went from hanging with friends and family to hunting down clients online however I could
Those first 6 weeks weren’t easy by any means.
I had to give up a lot.
I thought of quitting a few times.
But then that fateful day came…
When I opened up Gmail and saw what I thought could have only been a scam.

Frantic, I check the email address to verify this is actually an email from Fiverr.
It is.
It’s legit.
“Jenn!!! We did it!! I landed a client! It’s for a blog post!”
“What?? What are you talking about?! Why are you yelling?!”
“I got an order on Fiverr. I landed my first client! IT WORKED!”
When I think of the top 10 moments in my life.
The day I gave my life to God
The day I asked my wife to marry me
The day I married my wife
The day my first daughter was born
The day my second daughter was born
THIS day.
The day I landed my first copywriting client…
It’s hard not to include it beside these incredible days.
I was screaming and howling and running around like a hyena.
And… it was just for a $15 project.
But it didn’t matter to me.
That first client changed everything for me.
It proved that it was possible.
Those early mornings and late nights.
They meant something.
I knew from that moment on, I could never work another 9 to 5.
This was it.
This was my new life.
Making internet money.
Being my own boss.
Living whenever, wherever.
Making my own rules.
And creating the life I wanted to live.
Fast-forward nearly six years later, and that initial $15 has grown to over $550,000 in profit from copywriting.
And even more important, I was able to retire my wife and have more time for her and kids than I would have ever had with a 9 to 5.
It wasn’t easy.
But, landing that first client?
It changed everything.

P.S. Still struggling to land your first client?
Tired of waiting another year to change your life?
In six days (Saturday, Jan 18th), I’m hosting a live training:
The Sniper Bomb Workshop.
In it, you’ll discover the proven system ~70% of my students are using to get their first client in 30 days with just one outreach per day.
Without spamming hundreds of cold DMs or cold emails
Without hopping on aggressive sales calls
Without months of copy experience
Then grab a ticket to the event now.
Grab your ticket now at the earlybird special of $49 USD (before price goes up to $99).

P.S. This is the LOWEST price I’ve ever offered anything. My coaching students pay me thousands for the same step-by-step strategy you’ll learn at the workshop on January 18. But you get to steal it for a fraction of the price.
