I’ve been in copywriting for around a year and a half.

In that time I’ve made a bunch of money, signed a bunch of clients…

Lucky for you, after reading this email, you’ll know how to spot these creepy little buggers so they don’t steal your money, motivation, and potentially even your whole copywriting life.

#1 creep: Rumpelstiltskin

If you don’t know, Rumpelstiltskin is this little 3-foot troglodyte.

Basically this dude can spin straw into gold.

So what he does is he goes up to super poor and desperate women and makes a sneaky little deal:

“If you promise me your firstborn, I’ll give you some gold.”

Now these women aren’t pregnant or anything so they just do it because they think they’ll never have a kid anyways.

Then some 20 years later or wtv when the women forget about the whole ordeal, Rumpelstiltskin comes back and takes their firstborn (to eat it or something).

That’s alot like what shitty clients do.

You offer to work for free because you’re desperate, you think they’ll pay you later or maybe you’ll get a testimonial.

You’re ignorant.

What ends up happening is you spend 6 months working for them and then you get randomly ghosted.

so you essentially shipped away six months for “experience.”

Sneaky deal strikes again.

#2 does anyone even read to this point?

I’ve written almost 400 emails to this list and I don’t think anyone actually fully reads them

even though they’ve got so much value in them, shit that would literally make whoever reading it thousands…

and no one reads it.

I could put a fucking dick pic in my emails and no one would care

because most people, they’re not locked in.

They’ll die average.

and that’s fine

But if you’re actually reading this, reply below and let me know, and then I’ll finish the email

otherwise, I’m not

“If I hear bad news about the stock market one more time, I’m gonna be sick.”

We get it. Investors are rattled, costs keep rising, and the world keeps getting weirder.

So, who’s better at handling their money than the uber-rich?

The catch? Most alternatives aren’t open to everyday investors

That’s why Masterworks exists: 70,000+ members invest in shares of something that’s appreciated more overall than the S&P 500 over 30 years without moving in lockstep with it.*

Sounds crazy, but it’s real. One way to help reclaim control this week:

Skip waitlist.
