A few months ago a follower, daily email reader, and aspiring copywriter named Vladimir Gulyashki had a genius series going to prove his credibility while also getting tons of practice in.
Here’s what he did:
He started a daily series where every day he would open a Google doc, write a sales email in which he was trying to sell a banana (wonder who he got inspired by) and post it onto his Twitter for people to read—and even critique/add suggestions if they wanted.
Every day he’d post another Google doc called something along the lines of “Selling a banana #24”.
He stopped doing this a while back as far as I’m aware.
But I loved this series for multiple reasons aside from the obvious “sell a banana” joke.
For one, you could actively see Vladimir experimenting with different principles, strategies, and marketing angles. You could see him getting better day after day.
Not many people would commit to such a series.
While the idea behind the series was definitely there and it’s great practice, I understand why Vladimir ended up calling it quits after a while.
It didn’t pay the bills.
Why practice writing an email that never arrives selling an imaginary banana when you could build a list, send real emails, and sell something that’s actually going to get you paid?
The problem here, however, is that many people don’t have an offer to sell.
Which is why I thought this would be a perfect moment to announce that I’m going to experiment working with affiliates to promote my course Product Creation Made Easy.
So if you 1) want to practice writing your copy, 2) have an audience (doesn’t matter the size), or 3) just want to share the product with your audience and make a bit of profit in the profit, then listen up.
Here’s what I’m offering:
I’ll give you a unique link that you can promote to your email list, your X following, or your grandma.
You’ll keep 50% for every sale you’ll make (that’s $64.50).
And to make it extra worth it, we’ll work together to craft a unique bonus offer just for you and your audience if you can get more than 5 people to buy through your affiliate link.
I chose 5 to make sure I don’t have to create a thousand bonus offers, but also make sure it’s low enough so you’ll have a shot at rewarding your audience no matter how big your list is.
It’s a win-win for every party involved:
1) I get more experience working with affiliates—something I’ve never done before—so I can add a module to the product about how to use affiliates effectively
2) You get to practice writing your copy and actually being able to get paid without having to worry about creating an offer yourself
3) Your audience gets a chance to receive some extra bonus, whether that’s a workshop, a group coaching session, or some other bonus product/offer we’ll create together
Anyway.
If you like the sound of this offer and would like to affiliate for Product Creation Made Easy then reply to this email and we’ll work something out.
If not and you’re just here for the entertainment or you’re more interested in creating your own product.
