Tiaan landed his first client

Today I received a heartfelt email from one of my students, Tiaan.

He just landed his first copywriting client.

His message shook me to the core.

Here’s what he wrote (pay attention if you haven’t landed your first client OR first $5,000+ month as a copywriter yet):

Just got off a call with a business owner and his marketing manager.

They want my help with their email marketing. And I want you to know - I wouldn’t be here without you.

A few days ago I wrote what looks like a testimonial. But it’s really a letter to you. Not just for the course, but for helping me make a monumental shift in my life. One that’s been four years in the making.

For years I wandered: courses, threads, side projects, rabbit holes. Searching for something solid and real. Your course gave me more than a strategy - it gave me clarity and structure and a way forward.

Today, that path became real. And I’m looking forward to taking it all the way to 6 figures in the next few years.

Thank you, Sensei.

THE LETTER:

— — — — — — —

Dear Sensei Brandon,

I bought The Six-Figure Copywriter Course back in December 2024 - having completed a comprehensive copywriting course, reading all the recommended books, and trying almost everything under the sun.

I had dabbled in lead-gen, ghostwriting, building a personal brand on X, and even considered launching a course. But through it all, I kept hitting a wall: I didn’t know how to make money from any of it.

Everyone online seemed to be selling meditation courses, tweeting about copywriting, and posting threads about ghostwriting - but no one was explaining the business model. It was a frustrating few years of dreaming about a lifestyle that seemed completely out of reach.

Then I saw your tweet on January 31st: 2025: The DEATH of the personal brand. That hit like a sledgehammer - in the best way.

At the time, I was at a breaking point in my 30-year-old life. Something had to change. By then I was deep into your course, and that tweet affirmed what I already knew: I was finally in the right place.

From the very first lesson, your course felt different. It wasn’t just information - it felt like mentorship from someone who truly understands what it takes to succeed. The workbook is a game-changer.

For once, I wasn’t chasing secrets or hacks. I had clear, intentional work to do every day. And for the first time, I felt like I was genuinely becoming a copywriter.

But the real turning point came when I reached Phase Two: Land Clients. That’s when it finally clicked:

You don’t just “become a copywriter.” You become someone who solves a business problem using copy.

For me, that meant becoming an email copywriter for DTC brands. A lightbulb moment, plain and simple.

I paused the course for a few months - not because I lost interest, but because I knew I needed to learn how to design emails. That’s what I do now. And it’s only because of the clarity and confidence your course gave me that I had the guts to pursue it.

When I felt ready, I came back and picked up where I left off. I applied your Sniper Bomb strategy. I started posting. I reached out to real businesses. And now, 30 days later, I’ve landed my first client.

To be honest, it could’ve happened even faster.

The strategy works. No doubt about it. But what every new copywriter has to overcome is themselves - the discipline and commitment to keep identifying businesses and consistently reaching out. I didn’t go as hard as I could’ve, and I doubted myself most of the time. I spent much of this month sharpening my craft instead of purely playing the numbers game - and I’m okay with that.

Still, the proof is there: your strategy works. But more importantly, your mindset works.

This course didn’t just teach me how to write copy. It helped me change my life.

Thank you.

Tiaan

Want to land your first (or next) copywriting client like Tiaan?

My upcoming August copywriting mentorship is filling up fast.

I’ve only got 3 spots left and we start in 1 week.

And, as a bonus for joining my August mentorship, you’ll get the exact same course Tiaan went through that got him his first client: The $347 Six-Figure Copywriter Course…

But you get lifetime access to it for FREE!

Here’s everything else you’ll get in the one-month intensive:

• Weekly 1:1 coaching calls with me to help you pull from my 6 years experience (I’ve generated millions for clients and have personally earned over $600,000 as a copywriter)

• Daily VIP DM access (to answer all your questions in the day-to-day for that extra support new copywriters need)

• DAILY Copy critiques (every day you can send me your copy and I’ll personally review it, and send you feedback via a 5-10 minute Loom video to help you fast-track your progress)And I’ll help you no matter where you’re at (keep reading if you resonate with any of these three):

And I’ll help you no matter where you’re at (keep reading if you resonate with any of these three):

• Never written copy before

• Know how to write copy but haven’t landed my first client

• Making $1,000-$5,000/month but haven’t hit that $10,000+/month mark yet

In my August 1:1 mentorship, you’ll learn how to write copy (from scratch), how to land clients in 2025 (~70% of my students get their first client in 30 days), and how to scale your business to six figures per year by writing for just a few hours every day.

But…

My paid mentorship isn’t for everyone (I don’t accept everyone who applies).

I only take on those who are seriously committed to building their business up to $5,000+/month this year.

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, reply to this email with the word “August” now.

We start in one week

-Brandon “3 spots left” Storey

P.S. My mentorship includes a results-based guarantee (unlike most coaching programs):

You get your first $5,000/month as a copywriter in 3-6 months or your money back.

Reply with “August” now if you’re interested in one of the final 3 spots.
