Last weekend, me and the fam were going through old memory boxes from when I was a young whipper snapper
We stumbled across a very unusual school project…
It was a single piece of paper.
With a BIG drawing of this douchy looking kid with long black hair, wearing a thickk gold chain and a backwards hat.
Below this drawing was a short story about the infamous Woody Mingo.
Basically, a warning shot to “pudgy kids with low confidence, especially named Steve” to stay away from this bully.
I mention the tale of Woody Mingo for a special reason.
Special reason:
I get a lot of questions from aspiring copywriter’s about how to create a portfolio if they haven’t gotten any clients yet (but they need a portfolio to get clients).
Well, believe it or not, there IS a way to create a portfolio that attracts clients – WITHOUT having any prior work.
Here’s how:
Simply go online and search a few of your favorite brands.
Go to their home pages.
Then, take a gander at their headlines and sub heads.
Now, what I want you to do is, improve upon them with your own copy writing skillz.
Re-write their headlines and sub-heads.
Also, include a short paragraph explaining your reasoning behind your writing (I.E. how you improved the original headlines).
You can do this for all sorts of copy too…
Emails, Advertisements, video scripts, etc.
Do this for a bunch of different medias and types of copy, and you’ll have a LOT of quality samples to showcase in your portfolio – in no time square.
I did this when just starting out.
And believe it or not, I got praised by a company (paying 6-figures a year for a senior position) on one of these samples (even when I had a lot of paid work next to it).
The reason why this works so well is because you’re DEMONSTRATING your copywriting knowledge and skills in front of potential clients.
If you’d like to get a TON of paying clients within 48 hours from NOW, then I urge you to enroll in my exclusive membership – Copy Kings:

Best part?
