47 - Chris Milham

Yes: 47.

I just counted them up today. And that’s the number of emails I’ve written and sent for one of my clients.

Of course this is just a tiny sliver of the 347.3 billion emails that are sent each day…

But it’s a big deal for me.

You see… when I look back to the first email I wrote for them…

I don’t think I’m wrong when I say:

It’s an utter cringe-fest!

The subject line: “My 100%-accurate, 40-pound spring detector”.

😖

What was I smoking?

I guess it had “curiosity” going for it. Hmmm.

On to the email body…

You… could… see… I’d… just… fallen… in… love… with: “…”

And didn’t… really know how… to… use… it best.

And the story I was telling?

I sure did try hard.

But:

Especially with my poorly executed hand-brake turn toward selling the product.

I’d say it wasn’t slimy-salesy… but not too far off.

Now, I don’t claim perfection in my email writing today — not by a long shot.

But it’s pretty encouraging to see how far I’ve come.

And the advice that “practice makes perfect” does have an element of truth to it.

There’s nothing like seeing your own progress with your own two eyes.

But there’s even more that that “47” represents for me.

You see…

Dashing to bits one of my copywriter fears: “Who would want to pay me for this?”

And they’re a client who is increasingly valuing the work I do as our relationship grows.

I think that’s an even greater confidence-builder than marveling at my budding email-writing genius. 😜

To get this client in the first place, I had to marshal what meagre confidence I had and just put myself out there a little.

I got things like my profile — on platforms such as LinkedIn — spruced up and “professional” looking.

So when they read my proposals and want to check up on how I could help them — I know I have my house in order.

Which brings me to this:

To help you gain that extra confidence for landing clients… I’ve temporarily reviving my LinkedIn profile-writing service.

It’s just for people on my email list. End of October it goes “bye-bye.”

This can be a time-saving boost if you want to start a Linked profile. Or you want to polish your existing one.

I’ll professionally copywrite your title, About section, and even design a one-of-a-kind header image to add that extra “oomph!”.

I’ll also offer you tips and advice for making the most of your LinkedIn profile page.

It might be just the help you need to move ahead quicker — and reach your own “47”.

Price is $300. There’s no fancy-schmancy sales page for this. So if you want it, email me back and we’ll make a plan.

Go for gold!
