If you’re gonna work yourself to death you might as well be smart about it

Yo Ben,
A quick question:
How a newbie in copywriting and marketing can score 103 clients in 365 days without killing themselves?
Hope you get time to answer this.
I can promise every single one of the guys on here will be grateful for that.
Cheers,

His naive question aside, I will say this:
My opinion is, if you’re gonna kill yourself being a copywriter, do it building your empire and not someone else’s. And I will further say, the way to do just that is to take some sage advice from the movie “Citizen Kane” when the character Leyland says:
“[Charles Foster Kane] was disappointed in the world so he built his own. An absolute monarchy.”
That’s the way to do it, in my opinion.
There’s been no shortage of freelancers complaining about the “feast or famine” nature of the game.
But the answer has always been to have your own offers to sell.
Not only does selling your own offers demonstrate to would-be clients you obviously know how to write offers that convert… but if your offers make enough dough to live off of, you won’t technically “need” any client’s fees, and they’ll be able to smell that confidence & non-neediness on you, which’ll probably make you all that much more attractive of someone to hire.
At least, that was how it was in my case.
Your mileage may vary.
But I doubt it’ll vary much.
And if you want to know how I positioned myself like this back in my client days, that’s where my 10-Minute Workday program AWAI sells comes to play.
It’s my soup-to-nuts methodology for becoming a client-less copywriter.
That means, clients are optional.
Either way, you’re still eating steak assuming you are successful with it.
But there are no guarantees of success.
In fact, I can already tell you now:
It's super expensive (deliberately priced as such), and it takes a tremendous amount of time, work, and independent thinking to get it all set up.
Frankly, it took me 9 years to figure it out - from 2002 to 2011.
Then, it took another 5 years to put it down in a methodology.
(i.e., The 10-Minute Workday program)
And while I no longer work a mere 10 minutes per day, I did do just that for several years. After which my ambitions rose, and I went into some more aggressive directions. However, the same structure that program teaches is something I still follow to this day. And while there’s certainly nothing “new” about anything inside it, it is arranged in a way for copywriters to be able to grasp, run with, and profit from a whole helluva lot faster than it took me.
