Upwork's only 8 figure copywriter
$999.00/hr
I am the only copywriter on this site who has generated 8 figures with one single sales letter. That is remarkably hard to do. It was called Family Self Defence, and there is a link to it in the portfolio section.
I've been doing direct-response marketing for 22 years. I've worked with Jay Abraham, (a "Godfather" in the marketing world) editing his copy, as well as other big names.
All this is not only because of a ton of luck (and suffering!). I've spent the majority of my 20's & 30's almost exclusively dedicated to being a top salesman "in real life', learning marketing and business, and running a manufacturing company I helped build from scratch.
The reason I'm the only 8-figure copywriter on here is because it takes thousands of hours to get THIS good.
I had a head start though... both my parents were Canada's top salespeople. I personally outsold every other entire troop of Boyscouts in Canada as a kid...Plus I showed a gift for writing and reading very, very early.
I spent years listening to audiobooks while I slept, while in the shower, walking, brushing my teeth, shopping, driving, eating...
I've studied almost every major marketer/copywriter out there. I know several personally.
What made a big difference in my results is that I was applying things I learned every day to my own company, and I NEEDED them to work... so I tried everything... and kept a very close eye on what worked - I saw the numbers quickly, clearly, and iterated & adapted quickly
I did affiliate marketing for 2 years, so I am familiar with 90/10 trimming & multivariate split testing of creative angles + audience + placement for maximum ad ROI.
I've trained a team of SEO salespeople.
I've helped start, run, and grow a manufacturing company every day for 5 years, shipping thousands of pounds of products per month, so I'm familiar with many issues only a truly "hands-on" business owner can fully grasp, and how to navigate it all.
I've spent hundreds of hours studying NLP, email sequences, psychology, and hundreds of “growth hacks” to leverage every advantage you can possibly have while using words to sell.
I've broken longstanding records for referral generation while crushing sales targets, implemented all sorts of marketing systems, etc.
A board member of mine is a former brand manager at Proctor & Gamble (the #1 branding company in the world), so I can help you with pretty much anything you can think of that has to do with sales and marketing, while considering how it will affect your status and brand image.
I’ve gotten messages from Facebook themselves saying my ads outperform 99% of other ads on Facebook (proof in portfolio). Famous Facebook ads gurus have commented my ads were literally the best they’ve ever seen. (and they pulled in big numbers too - see my portfolio for more proof)
I’d worked with one of 2018’s fastest-growing companies, which grew exclusively through social media, and I was their chief Facebook poster (you can see some examples in my profile portfolio section) of posts I wrote that got TENS OF THOUSANDS of likes/comments/shares - almost all organically.
I've been a salesperson in 13 different industries, always in the top 1% if not #1, and broke a few (sometimes multi-decade-long standing) records along the way.
I've been a personal trainer for 5 years, lost 100 pounds, and trained hundreds of people to reach their health/fitness goals.
I've been a DJ, yoga teacher, martial arts teacher, and too many more to list.
I'm familiar with most commonly used online software (Office, ClickUp, Asana, GHL, SuiteCRM, Clickfunnels, almost everything Google, and OpenAI. Plus SEMRush, Buzzsumo, Instantly.ai, make.com, Spamzilla.com, Adspy, Shopify, and know how to work with developers of Wordpress, Python, Solidity, Swift, etc. to get things done.
I had a computer retail store, so I know a fair bit about computers/software.
I was the Chief Information Officer of an A.I. startup, and as such, I am well versed in blockchain, cryptocurrency, smart contracts, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, STO, ZKP, and much more.
I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, lived in Vancouver, BC for ten years, Zagreb, Croatia for ten years, and travel a fair bit.
Now you know a bit of my story, and maybe can see what my skills and experience might mean to you.
I don't write blog content and such. You can get ChatGPT + / or someone MUCH cheaper to do that.
My writing moves people to DO something... not to just read. Most writers can't write something this long, and have it be interesting or maintain a coherent "voice".
I don't do copywriting much anymore though, because even though I just wrote a letter that generated 6 figs in 2024, my thousands of hours of business growth experience, laser-focused on your challenges and goals is more valuable than my writing.
Send me a quick hello. We can talk, and see if it's copywriting or something else that would help you most
