I get lots of emails from readers asking me to help them get writing samples. I get it.
Writing samples can open the door and show a client what you can do.
That’s why I’m trying to help my CopyStars create writing samples that get published! How?
A while ago, I created “Showcase Saturday” – a unique opportunity for you to showcase your writing skills – and get your copy posted in CopyStar – so thousands of folks can read it!
Now – today’s showcase submission is from my CopyStar reader Joyce Nielson. She found GOLD from watching my YouTube channel! Listen to her story and see if you can relate!
Take it away Joyce…
Go For the Gold
I’m exhausted. I’ve been on the trail to find a hidden gem, just like Indiana Jones, a childhood hero of mine.
I’ve followed the path laid down by Carline Anglade-Cole.
- Crawl through numerous internet links!
- Sift through article after article!
- Keep digging ‘till you find that gem!
- Don’t give up, it’s out there!
I felt like I was buried under an avalanche of white papers. I performed a swimming motion to keep my head clear and create an air pocket so I could breathe.
Then the computer window shifted, directing my eyes towards a prominent link. I was able to see a highlighted piece and clicked on it. Finally…
… on the verge of giving up – an eye-popping article contained the words I was searching for — that golden nugget.
Carline encouraged me to “dig deep”. In fact, her YouTube channel sustained me as I kept plunging ahead in my research.
So – now I approached my copy from a different – more effective slant. I created better copy for my client!
Thank you, Carline for your insightful videos!
