I want to keep applying for gigs on Upwork for email work as I learn creative strategy. But I'm relatively inexperienced with Upwork. I've only applied to like 8 gigs, ever. My main issue with Upwork is that it's hard to find direct response gigs or even fitness-related gigs. So @Nabeel Azeez, what should I be looking for gigs-wise, and also, do you have any advice for me to have success in finding clients on Upwork?

@Steven Le's ads have the worst metrics but the most sales. Lowest CTR (all), highest CPC, “ugliest” ads, but they are converting. Very interesting! These are the ads that have generated the sales so far: https://fb.me/adspreview/facebook/1U0Puqcyu1Q4tXf https://fb.me/adspreview/facebook/1WkwDFUnb8qHYx9

Weekly Engagement Competition: Congratulations to @Shafaq Kazmi who wins our weekly engagement competition and gets upgraded to a Premium membership, gratis. I didn't send out a Launchpad Update last week because I was promoting the “She's Not Buying” workshop. But I saw that Shafaq took the #1 spot on the leaderboard briefly late Sunday / early Monday. And since we haven't had a winner in a few weeks, I'm going to make an executive decision and promote her. You've Been Grandfathered: Copywriting Launchpad is not free to join anymore. @Matthew Volkwyn and I decided we want to attract members of a higher quality. So we're charging a nominal fee of $5/month for the Standard membership tier to all new members. If you joined while the community was free, you've been grandfathered into the Standard membership. You'll enjoy all the same benefits that you did before. She's Not Buying Day 3: The final session of @Lina Fahizul's workshop happens tomorrow at 2 pm GMT. And tomorrow is when we cover THE GOOD STUFF. Lina will be going over our copy LIVE and showing us how to improve it to convert female buyers. Here's what @Nina Bauer said about She's Not Buying: “This is super cool content, anyone that isn't having access to this is missing out like crazy. A couple of things i was already doing intuitively - but man is it helpful to have the actual frameworks to tell the boss why it has to be done, and whats at stake if he's ignoring it ! :D”

Hey everyone, I'm in the early phase of my career and I write copy every single day. What I do is: Pick up a random problem, do some deep research, come up with a hypothetical product, build a mechanism and try to back it with science, and then write the full funnel. ads (atleast 3 different angles), emails, vsls, and a landing page. Sometimes I'd just pick a random product from amazon and write all the funnel pieces for that. So I have a couple of questions: 1) What should a solid portfolio actually include? 2) Should I be showing full funnel pieces or individual pieces across various niches? 3) How do you know when it's time to stop practicing and start looking for real clients? cause honestly there is soo much to learn that I'll never feel fully ready. I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestion. Thanks in advance.

NO WINNER AGAIN (Weekly Engagement Competition): @Shafaq Kazmi got close but it wasn't enough to beat @Waisale Naqiolevu who's a previous engagement competition winner. Pro tip: “You Can Have Everything In Life You Want, If You Will Just Help Enough Other People Get What They Want.” – Zig Ziglar *** THE TRUTH ABOUT FREE SAUCE Look closely at the screenshot I've attached. This is what happens when you give away courses for free. I could click on any random free member of Copywriting Launchpad and this is what their course completion page will look like. The same thing happened when I had a free plan in my other community platform. We got over 1300+ signups and only 9% completed the material. And I knew this was going to happen, even after we moved to Skool. I know you are going to sign up because it's free and then do nothing with the resources I give you. I used to care. I don't anymore. Whoever wants to succeed at copywriting will succeed, even if the only resource he or she has access to is YouTube. Whoever wants to LARP as a copywriter will keep doing that, no matter how many resources he or she's given, free or paid. *** IF YOU WANT TO BE AN EXPERT AT SELLING TO WOMEN Watch this video (tap the link) then follow the instructions I've given you.
