Uh-oh! We’ve got a slippery one!
Looks like you made it past the first opt-in box.
😓
That means you’re expecting … copy.
Which means I have to go put on my copywriter hat, and address all those questions bubbling up in your little website-visitor’s mind, like …
“Who even are you?”
“Why do you have the audacity to say you’ve been called Australia’s best copywriter?”
“Why should I join your email list?”
“Why didn’t Captain Marvel just use the Infinity Gauntlet to snap away Thanos when she was holding it?”
(wait … I want to know the answer to that last one too 🤷♂️)
So let me answer those questions, the best way I know how: with some good old-fashioned sales copy … to get you on my email list.
Ready?
As we say in Japanese … レッツゴー!*
*Okay I’m not Japanese, I’m Aussie, but I do speak it fluently enough. And that says “let’s go” or actually “rettsu-goo!” ’cause you know, it’s Japanese 🇯🇵

Social proof doesn’t float your boat?
That’s okay. I’ve plenty more in my copywriting bag o’ tricks.
Onward to Reason #2, then …
Reason #2 To Join My Email List:
If you’re a freelance copywriter, my daily copywriting tips are probably gonna become your new favourite email to open.
Why?
Firstly, because my copywriting tips rock (wait till you see Reason #3 To Join My Email List).
But also … my style is pretty much unique.
On my list, you’ll see a brand new way of writing copy that I guarantee NOBODY else has shown you (because in many cases, I invented it).
![28 Where Did You Learn To Write Like That](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Where-Did-You-Learn-To-Write-Like-That.png)
(The answer is ‘nowhere, I made it up’.)
And even better — almost every single email I send is a sales email, too. It contains a sales pitch to a product or service. (And I’m utterly shameless about it.)
![29 Always Selling](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Always-Selling.png)
So basically … my emails are like a daily dose of entertaining, mind-expanding, addictive sales copy:
“You make me automatically unsubscribe from so many other lists because you are my new standard”

Although, admittedly, my emails are not universally loved, and in 2021 they even earned me a permanent ban from being mentioned in r/copywriting:

Reason #3 To Join My Email List:
I kinda know a thing or two about being a boss freelance copywriter.
If you’re looking for a guide through the crazy journey that is freelance copywriting … look no further.
I got my start as a copywriter in 2015 … back when I was a hard-hat-wearing electrical engineer, on a gas plant on a tiny, remote island off the coast of Western Australia.
![44 Oil Rig Pictures Not Daniel](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Oil-Rig-Pictures-Not-Daniel-1024x684.png)
I worked as an engineer for 3 years, but I have no pictures I can show you.
That’s because phones and cameras were banned on the gas plant … because a single stray gas leak could ignite and literally blow us all to pieces.
I would spend weeks at a time on this forsaken remote island, working 5am to 5pm … every single day … for 28 days straight. No days off.
Between the long hours, the isolation, and the constant risk of fiery doom … I (shockingly) didn’t like my job.
But that all changed when I won Ramit Sethi’s Call to Action copywriting contest in 2015 with my first ever sales letter.
![45 Winning Ramit Sethi's Copywriting Contest](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/スクリーンショット-2020-09-29-午前10.23.50-1024x573.png)
At the time, I had literally never even heard the word ‘copywriter’.
And unlike all the other ‘professional’ copywriters who entered the contest, I had no clue about how you were ‘supposed’ to write a sales letter.
So … I just did my own thing.
Yet to my surprise … I won!
(Since that day, I’ve never bothered to worry about what people say you’re “supposed” to do in your copy.)
Shortly after winning the contest, I began copywriting on Upwork. (Yes, that Upwork.) Within 12 months I was one of its most expensive writers, charging over $200/hr.
![46 Top Ranked Upwork Sales Page Copywriter 2016](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Top-Ranked-2016-1024x640.png)
I haven’t worked on Upwork for a while. But to this day, I still have one of the most ripped-off profiles on the entire site.
![47 My Upwork Profile Is Still Ripped Off](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ripoff-Collection-1024x702.png)
In 2016, Australia’s (soon-to-be) bestselling author — Scott Pape — approached me to write some ‘copy’.
![48 Scott Pape inviting me to write copy](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_0157-577x1024.png)
It keeps me sharp.
That ‘copy’ turned out to be the launch funnel for what became the bestselling book in Australian history:
The Barefoot Investor.
![49 スクリーンショット 2021 05 08 午後1.09.37](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/スクリーンショット-2021-05-08-午後1.09.37.png)
(I later helped Scott launch — and this time, even helped edit — the sequel, too. We broke the Australian pre-order record with that one.)
![50 スクリーンショット 2021 01 05 午後5.49.28](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/スクリーンショット-2021-01-05-午後5.49.28-1024x690.png)
I worked with Scott for several years, managing operations & editorial for his Barefoot Blueprint newsletter.
Till Scott closed it in 2020, the Blueprint was Australia’s most well-known and trusted investing & financial advice newsletter.
I was Scott’s right-hand man — and helped manage strategy and day-to-day operations of the business.
![51 スクリーンショット 2021 01 05 午後6.02.21](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/スクリーンショット-2021-01-05-午後6.02.21-1024x768.png)
Building funnels … managing an email list of hundreds of thousands … writing and testing promos … planning editorial calendars … coming up with ‘big ideas’ … managing customer retention …
My years as Scott’s second-in-charge gave me the kind of hands-on experience most copywriters can only dream of.
Daniel walked through my door a few years ago and totally transformed my business. He’s not just a copywriter. He’s the best damn marketer in Australia.
SCOTT PAPE, THE BAREFOOT INVESTOR
Between 2017 and 2020 I also handled product research & copy for Mamamia’s newly launched Mamamia Courses division …
(Mamamia is Australia’s largest independent women’s media empire, founded by Aussie author and media personality, Mia Freedman)
![52 Mia Freedman loves my work](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Mia-Freedman-Testimonial.png)
… as well as a few sneaky well-paid Upwork gigs on the side …
![53 Upwork Job 4 6000](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Upwork-Job-4-6000.png)
![54 Upwork Job 6 36000](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Upwork-Job-6-36000.png)
![55 Upwork Job 5 6000](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Upwork-Job-5-6000.png)
… and some freelance projects for Teachable, Naturenetics, Pavlok, and others you might have heard of.
In 2020 I stopped 99% of my client work to focus on my own biz … but I still get the occasional high-paid offer from hopeful clients.
![56 50000 Offer](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/50000-Offer.png)
But I turn ’em all down. Because I have too much fun writing my OWN emails. Which—GREAT SCOTT! Would you look at that? There just happened to be an *opt-in* link for my emails right here! What luck!
Reason #4 To Join My Email List:
I’ll send you the world’s most unusual welcome email.
No, really.
Many people say my infamous ‘welcome’ email — “The Dark Room” — is either the best welcome email they’ve ever read … or just plain disturbing.
(I take both as a compliment.)
“What the f*** is this?”

You’ll get to see my wildly entertaining, world-first ‘Parallel Welcome Sequence’.
![70 Characters Colored without mark](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Characters-Colored-without-mark-1024x563.jpg)
My welcome email is just the start of a ridiculous email adventure involving time-travel, giant lions, robot AI invasions, oversized machine guns, and valuable copywriting tips.
That’s because I literally invented a brand-new kind of autoresponder welcome sequence called the:
‘Parallel Welcome Sequence’
This is a crazy new type of welcome sequence that gets up to 200% readership on your email series. No, that’s not mathematically possible … with a normal sequence. But it is with my Parallel Welcome Sequence, as you’ll see.
(Note to my critics who misquote me on this: I said 200% READERSHIP — i.e. relative amount of content consumed compared to an email-only series — not 200% OPEN RATES … you numpties)
And people can’t stop reading it:
![71 スクリーンショット 2021 06 27 午前6.17.45](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/スクリーンショット-2021-06-27-午前6.17.45.png)

![73 PWS Reading Time](https://persuasivepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/PWS-Reading-Time.png)
Several copywriters that I know of have already begun to imitate my Parallel Welcome Sequence. (As far as I know, they all accept credit anyone gives them for the idea, too.)
But mine is the OG … and frankly, nobody else’s imitation even comes close.
Heck, I’m even in the process of fully illustrating it, manga-style:
