Previous episode: Market Research Maze

You materialise in the middle of a misty fog.

It’s chilly. And gloomy.

You can barely see a few feet in front of you.

You wrap your arms around yourself for warmth, shivering.

Your stomach rumbles, reminding you it’s been a while since you ate.

But, patting your pockets, you remember they’re empty. No food … or money.

“Clients,” you think. “What I need is more clients.”

RUSTLE

Almost as if in answer to your response…

You hear noises and whispers from the fog around you.

And then, the first voice calls out in a low, seductive hiss:

“Want more clientsssss? Come this way and let me show you my sssssecret proven method of ssssending cold emailsssss … I’ve helped hundredsssss of people like you…”

Then a hyena-like screech rings out from the fog beside you:

“Nya-ha-ha-ha-haaaa! For the low, low price of several thousand dollars, I can show you how to get booked out with all the regular copywriting income you need! Nya-ha-ha-haaaa!”

A third — sounding like a large tiger — comes from behind you:

“Grrrrr-eetings … come to our webinar instead, where my world-famous tiger partner and I will show you some grrrr-eat methods copywriters just like you are using to become in-demand writers charging six figrrrrres per month…”

You look around nervously.

Which of these voices should you trust to get you clients?

“None of them!” 

A voice booms from…

…directly above you?

THUD!

You’re startled as someone literally drops from the sky … and lands right next to you.

You gasp.

It’s me.

Wearing a … jetpack?

“I’ll explain the jetpack later,” I say, noting your gaze at my back. “For now, don’t listen to any of these S.C.A.M. crew for how to get clients. They’ll only bleed you dry.”

“But then how do I get clients?”

“It’s the simplest thing in the world, my dear Reader…”
