You see…
My whole life I believed that the only way to make good money is if I worked hard and eventually would make it.
And as an immigrant is all I knew how to do.
So the idea that I could just write a few emails here and there and someone would pay me thousands of dollars seemed crazy to me.
Besides, I am a non-native speaker.
How could I possibly write email that could make me money, right?
Well, at least that’s what I thought.
Yet still…
I didn’t know how to make it happen, but I was determined.
Losing my job meant I gained time.
So I decided to put this time to good use.
I went online and frantically searched every corner of the interweb about copywriting.
I joined FB groups, read books, and watched youtube videos.
There was SO much information.
At times it felt like I was choking on it.
Yet I followed everything I was told to do by the “gurus.”
To start, I did what every novice copywriter would do - I began hand-copying every sales page I could come across.
I bought the books by Gary Halbert.
Yet still, it felt like I was walking in circles.
And even after all these knowledge, I still had this question in my head: "What's next?"
Eventually I decided I needed a better road map to success.
So I joined a mastermind.
I didn’t have money, I used a credit card.
I can’t say I was walked by the hand and was told everything I needed to do.
Not at all.
It was a group coaching program.
I was one of many.
Yet I FELT like I had a bit of guidance.
So I kept cranking with the program.
I watched every training, I attended every call.
And I wrote dozens of emails every single day.
Yet…
The progress moved slower than a turtle.
What’s more, I couldn’t land clients.
I’ve sent out hundreds of cold emails.
Attacked fitness influencers on Instagram with DMs…
And I hated it every step of the way.
One day, I was sitting in my room for hours, staring at the screen and the light bulb went off.
I figured if whatever I was doing wasn’t working, I had to figure out a different way.
I leaned into the fact I was a non-native speaker.
And I thought to myself, how the hell did I learn English?
One word came to mind: Exposure!
