You made it through the velvet rope.

Work through the Fast Start path in order. It answers most questions before you think to ask them. Beyond that: advanced trainings on outreach, offers, and ads. Maybe occasional live Q&A calls when I feel like running them. And a feed full of people actually doing this, not just talking about it. Jarrett and Ellie from my team are in here with me. You'll see them around and they may reach out to help you figure out where to start. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐—›๐—ข๐—ช ๐—ง๐—ข ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—”๐—ฅ๐—ง ๐Ÿ.

Hey everyone, happy to be here! My name is Michael and I reside in the western US. I currently own my own bookkeeping business and have a couple clients Iโ€™ve been freelancing with on email promos. Iโ€™ve landed some decent wins in the promo space but see creative strategy as a growth accelerator (Iโ€™m over bookkeeping and want to write/create full-time). I love the outdoors so an ideal client would be in the backcountry/backpacking space, outdoor gear, kayaking, camping, survival, etc. โ€ฆ hell, Iโ€™d even write for preppers. Iโ€™m looking at brands like Patagonia, Gatorz, KUIU, Viktos, Hoka, Columbia, etc. Big aspirations, I knowโ€ฆ but why not? My big goal for the next 12 months is to transition into strategy full-time and earn at least $20k/mo. Since Iโ€™m new to this specific world, I donโ€™t know what my bottleneck is currently. However, landing clients in the email promo world has been difficult otherwise Iโ€™d already be writing full-time. Fun fact: I used to run cross-country/track for a D1 college and my fastest 800 is 1:46.2, fastest 1500 is a 1:47.4 (not record-shattering but Iโ€™m proud of it). I can also play 12 different instruments mostly in the strings/keys and drum world. ๐Ÿ˜ Looking forward to leveling up my game with all of you.
