This is my story about why I pivoted my comfy career in the family business to become a copywriter.Life in the family business was good, but over time, though, I grew disillusioned, like a human robot going through the motions.I dreaded each workday and craved professional growth away from family scrutiny.That’s when I discovered copywriting.Copywriting has fascinated me because I realized that I’ve bought many products and services because of a highly persuasive sales letter.So I decided to hire a veteran copywriter to train me.Two months into the training, I had to overcome a big trial with my first client’s sales page.At first I was overconfident. But my coach quickly brought me down to earth with his feedback. I was slumped over my desk and almost threw in the towel at this point.Fortunately, I remembered my purpose and pushed through to complete the project. Not only was my client impressed, but she even gave me a follow up project right away.All this time I had not stopped training with my coach on copywriting on a daily basis.Learning copywriting was tough because it was really counter-intuitive.I mean, they don’t teach you how to write hooks, benefits and offers in school.But I pushed myself hard, knowing that my family depended on me as the main breadwinner.Not long ago, I was like a zombie working in my family business.Now I have a newfound purpose that I want to share with my fellow entrepreneurs.I know a speaker who spent 2 years offering his speaking services for free because he was new. But he never gave up.Soon someone offered him $500 for his first paid gig.Then $1000.For his latest speaking engagements, he charges a hefty $5000 for 1 hour.Why am I telling you this?This is because right now, I’m still in the process of discovering all the secrets of the direct-response world, and there are plenty.But that’s an advantage for you. Why?It’s like buying property in 1977 when it was just 30k.Now property is worth millions.You’ll be able to get high quality copy from me but at an affordable price for now.In six months, I’ll charge 2X times.In one year, I’ll charge 5X times.In three years - who knows?Now is your chance to get expertly crafted copy that convinces even the most doubtful prospects... all at an affordable price.Sounds good?Here’s what you can do next.I have written an e-book “21 Lessons From My Time As A Copywriter” that has both life lessons and copywriting tips that can help you.Pm me to get a free copy.Christopher OngCopywriter & Persuasion Architect
