Brains For Boobs?

Need help with your sales copy or mar­ket­ing strat­egy? About to launch a prod­uct or pro­mo­tion, but unsure if it will work? Or sim­ply wish you could pick my brains for an hour?

(And want to pitch in for a great cause at the same time?)

Well, for a lim­ited time, you can.

As a free­lance copy­writer and con­sul­tant for the bet­ter part of 20 years, I’ve had the won­der­ful oppor­tu­nity to cri­tique, review, con­sult, and coach thou­sands of peo­ple and projects.

At first, I did it because it was my liveli­hood. But today, my wife and I own sev­eral, prof­itable busi­nesses, and so I out­source much of it to our per­son­ally trained staff.

For this rea­son, I don’t do hourly con­sults any­more. When I do coach­ing or con­sult­ing, I give pri­or­ity to my mem­bers and rarely take on new clients. If I hap­pen to work with a new client, I do it mostly for fun. (But I also charge a min­i­mum of $3,000 for it, too.)

Well, if you ever wanted to “rent my brains” for an hour, and for a frac­tion of that price on top of that, then here’s your chance. Plus, you’ll be help­ing an impor­tant cause.

One that’s par­tic­u­larly mean­ing­ful to me and my fam­ily.

As you prob­a­bly know, both my wife and mother are breast can­cer sur­vivors. My wife was diag­nosed just three days before our wed­ding, and was given just one year to live.

(That was three years ago!)

But her sur­vival did come at a price. She had to run the full gamut of treat­ments: mas­tec­tomy (the sur­gi­cal removal of her breast), eight months of gru­el­ing chemother­apy and radi­a­tion treat­ments, oophec­tomy (sur­gi­cal removal of both ovaries), and more.

Last year fol­low­ing her lumpec­tomy, my mother lived with us for close to seven months while under­go­ing her own treat­ments, so we could take care of her, and drive her to and from the hos­pi­tal for her own chemother­apy and radi­a­tion sessions.

So as you can see, breast can­cer aware­ness and breast can­cer research are causes near and dear to me and my fam­ily. And as you prob­a­bly know…

… Octo­ber is breast can­cer aware­ness month!

So for the month of Octo­ber, I’d like to pro­pose something.

Some­thing that might help you boost your response, build your busi­ness, crank out bet­ter copy, grow your list, or what­ever, and help out a great cause at the same time.

Here’s what I’m offer­ing. If you want to pick my brains for an hour, I’ll open my doors for a very lim­ited time. We can do it over the phone, Skype, or the web using my webi­nar inter­face. It’s your call. Use your hour as you wish. Ask me any­thing you want.

Your invest­ment for an hour of my time? $500.

That’s my going rate nor­mally offered to my pay­ing mem­bers only. Oth­er­wise, you’d have to buy my inten­sive coach­ing pro­gram, which I offer for $10,000. Even copy cri­tiques are a min­i­mum of $3,000. Each. So $500 is quite generous.

What do you get? It depends on what you want…

• Want me to review your copy and make recommendations?
• Cri­tique your mar­ket­ing, sell­ing, or blog­ging strategy?
• Take you behind the scenes of my blog and its plugins?
• Show you how I use blogs as saleslet­ters and testing?
• Coach you on your free­lance copy­writ­ing career?
• Con­sult you on how to grow your list or business?
• Learn how to out­source and opti­mize busi­ness tasks?
• Get fresh prod­uct ideas and prod­uct cre­ation tips?
• Give you pro­duc­tiv­ity tips and prac­ti­cal shortcuts?
• Or just shoot the breeze about any­thing for an hour?

It doesn’t matter.

Please note, how­ever, I will be bru­tally hon­est with you.

I won’t sug­ar­coat or pussy­foot around. I will give you the straight goods, so be pre­pared to take it. If you’re only seek­ing approval and expect ver­bal pats on the back, this is not for you. I’d rather tell you straight up now, rather than sur­prise you when it’s too late.

There are no refunds with this offer, and you must book your appoint­ment with me within 30 days fol­low­ing your pay­ment. In other words, your call must take place within 30 days.

For exam­ple, at the time of this blog post, I have about 22 open­ings in the next 30 days. You can book your con­sult using a spe­cial online cal­en­dar, which will be open on a first-​​come, first-​​served basis. Addi­tional times will be offered once they’re all booked up.

(Also, you are respon­si­ble for call­ing me. So be aware that long-​​distance charges may apply. You may also record this ses­sion for your own ref­er­ence, if you wish. I won’t.)

Peo­ple are rav­ing about their con­sul­ta­tions. In fact, Tony Ucello, an up-​​and-​​coming copy­writer who got a “brain rental” con­sult with me, sent me this com­pletely unso­licited and unex­pected tes­ti­mo­nial. Lis­ten to what he has to say (click the but­ton below)…

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (ver­sion 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Down­load the lat­est ver­sion here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Now, here’s the deal…

I will donate 10% of your invest­ment to my wife’s favorite char­ity, Avon’s Breast Can­cer Cru­sade. That means, for every hour I con­sult, I will donate $50 to her favorite charity.

Remem­ber, I don’t do hourly con­sults any­more. My time is valu­able, as yours should be. So I’m only open­ing my doors for the month of Octo­ber, through this spe­cial offer only.

If this inter­ests you, then don’t wait. Click here to book your call.

Once suc­cess­fully processed, I will send you the link to the spe­cial online cal­en­dar to book your call through. You can pick and choose among the open­ings available.

And remem­ber, it’s first come, first served. So I imag­ine you’d best hurry before I must open addi­tional times in the future, forc­ing you to wait more than 30 days. So book your “brain-​​rental” time with me now. Click this link or the but­ton below…

Do it for your­self. Do it for your busi­ness. But above all, do it for a wor­thy cause. Reserve your spot now, and I look for­ward to chat­ting with you very soon!

P.S.: By the way, shortly after I posted this, some­one asked me pri­vately if they could record this ses­sion and turn it into a prod­uct. The answer is a resound­ing “yes!” Absolutely. In fact, I encour­age it.
