The #1 Obstacle to A Successful
Freelance Career Is a Lack of Confidence
Here’s How The “Big Brand Secret” Will Instantly Let You Contact Any Client With Total Assurance …
And more importantly – how the “Big Brand Secret”
will make clients have total confidence in YOU …
Dear Reader,
By now you know as well as I do …
There are three key elements to a successful freelance writing career.
The first one is your ability to write copy. Fortunately, you don’t need to be an “A-level” writer to succeed. But to compete as any kind of writer, you need to be able to write.
The second thing is “know your market” — know who the players are and what they need from you.
Most writers I meet through AWAI can do both of these things well. Which is good …
But, the third thing can make or break your writing career. In fact, without it, you’re likely to have no “career” at all.
Yet when I ask new copywriters what they’re doing about it, I get a long list of, well, excuses.
“Lacking confidence when marketing on the Internet will undoubtedly result in small business failure.”
– Brian Horn,
Glazer-Kennedy Insider's Circle™, LLC
“I want to perfect my writing first,” they tell me.
Or …
“I’m waiting until the time is right,” is another “excuse” I hear.
So many copywriters I know put off mastering this crucial skill until the last minute. And that’s too bad.
Because just by knowing how to handle this aspect of the copywriting business — you can be successful faster … even if your copy isn’t up to the “A-level” yet!
So what’s this skill that will get you clients now so you can “earn while you learn”?
Like I said, you probably already know what it is. And, if you’re like most people I know in this business, you’re dreading having to deal with it!
I’m talking, of course, about marketing yourself. Or attracting the clients you need to build an active, successful, and thriving copywriting business.
But don’t worry …
It doesn’t matter how terrified you are about the moment you have to talk to your first client …
It doesn’t matter if you hate talking about yourself or “selling your skills” to a complete stranger …
It doesn’t matter how worried you are about not having a portfolio, experience, or even the skill to convince them to give you a chance …
What I want to share with you today
will erase all those concerns instantly.
You’ll be able to contact any client you want to work for with total confidence.
But more importantly, the clients you want to work for will have total confidence in you.
So what is this secret I’m going to share with you now?
Well, it’s the secret Steve Jobs used to turn Apple into the most successful computer company in the world.
It’s the secret Nike used to go from selling shoes out of the back of vans at track meets … to one of the most successful athletic apparel companies ever.
Even Red Bull used this secret to turn a simple caffeine-laced concoction into the biggest energy drink on the market.
Now I know what you might be wondering …
What do these huge, successful, multinational corporations have to do with my copywriting success?
Before answering that question, I want to introduce Nick Usborne.
If you don’t know Nick, he’s one of the most successful copywriters on the planet. His specialty is marketing online and he is internationally recognized as a leading expert on the subject of writing for the Web.
He’s done copywriting and in-house training for huge companies like MSN, Wells Fargo Bank, the U.S. Navy, The New York Times, Encyclopedia Britannica, and Disney.
He’s also the author of several AWAI programs including Copywriting 2.0: Your Complete Guide to Writing Web Copy that Converts and How to Write Your Own Money-Making Websites.
In short, Nick’s a pro and his clients love him …
But I know Nick better than most people. And what makes him so successful is not just his ability to write great copy …
It’s his innate understanding of marketing — not only of the products he’s selling for clients, but of marketing himself as well.
I’ve talked to Nick at length about this over the years. After all, it’s one of the biggest concerns AWAI members have: Once I learn to write … how do I “put myself out there” …
“How do I get people who value writers to trust me and hire me?”
Recently, Nick shared with me the “Big Brand Secret” and explained how — on a much smaller scale — any freelance copywriter could use the same secret to transform their copy careers, too.
Here’s the simplest way I can explain it:
You don’t sell your skills or qualifications to a prospect. Instead you sell — or share — your message.
Here’s an example:
Apple didn’t enter the market and say — “Here’s a computer we think is better than the best.” Instead they put out an influential message: “Think Different.” That “message” left a powerful impression. Apple quickly established itself as the computer for free thinkers and those who felt confined and controlled by the MS-DOS world.
You see, marketing is baked into everything Apple does. Their product design isn’t just about functionality. It’s all about marketing. The timing of every launch is also about marketing. Even their programs and apps are about marketing.
Apple doesn’t look at marketing as a separate, occasional activity. And you shouldn’t either. Instead, you need to integrate marketing into every aspect of your freelance life.
And Nick wants to show you how to do that for your own writing business, so it becomes second nature.
Stop “Working” to Market Yourself and Make It Part Of Your Everyday Life
Instead of saying to a prospective client: “I’d like an opportunity to write your next sales promotion,” you can deliver a powerful message about the impact you can have on their business.
I’ll explain in more detail how Nick’s secret works in a moment.
In fact, it’s just one part of a very special “career transforming” program he’s put together that’s specifically designed to take you from where you are now — to a busy, thriving, and in-demand copywriter over the next 90 days.
If you don’t think that can happen, consider this …
You won’t be the first person Nick has worked his self-marketing magic on. There have been literally hundreds of up-and-coming copywriters that have come before you …
- AWAI Member Lisa Sargent said Nick turned her cozy freelance copywriting world on its head. “I'm now carving out a one-of-a-kind niche that makes the most of both my skills and background … with total integrity.”
- One student was scared to build her business and market her services. After working with Nick, she’s no longer bothered about gaps in her knowledge. Instead, she’s completely confident in her ability.
- Bob Leonard said, "Nick helped me and the result is I'm fully booked making much more money and doing work that's strategic rather than tactical."
One of the main things Nick showed all these people and countless more … was the “Big Brand Secret.”
“Along with a positive attitude, self-confidence is the key to leading a happier, more productive life. The self-confident person tends to achieve more than the "average" person. You'll look at each day as being filled with unlimited potential, instead of something you have to get through in order to stay alive … You'll feel more powerful and persuasive … You'll set bigger goals and make bigger plans … Bottom line is you'll be more successful at everything you do. The good news is self-confidence is something you can develop and systematically build up over time.”
– John Wood,
Successful AWAI-Trained Copywriter
Here’s how and why it works:
Many copywriters think if their writing or copywriting skills were better, their business would explode. They believe clients would magically find them and they would easily make six-figures a year.
They believe they need just one more program, to read another article, or to attend a live event …
What they fail to realize is: your ability to make a great income isn’t just about your skills.
When you share your message — instead of selling yourself — your sense of value is no longer tied to your skills or how much you know.
Instead, your value lies in the power of your message and your passion.
This is what Nick did to break into web copywriting in 1998. He was literally starting with nothing. He didn’t even have a website, clients, a business card, logo, samples, or experience.
He saw that companies were simply cutting and pasting their website content from their print material. At the time, companies didn’t realize this would not be effective, but Nick did.
He turned this into his message: “Writing for the Web is different.”
Potential clients recognized that they were guilty of cutting and pasting onto their website. They didn’t even think to ask about his qualifications or experience because they believed his message.
“If I had to pick the turning point in my writing career, it would be the day I realized I was confident in my ability to write … that changed everything for me. Up to this point, I was constantly ‘waiting’ until I finished whatever current copywriting program I was working on before I’d approach clients. And because I was in this constant ‘learning-mode,’ I never felt fully confident about what I had to offer … When you're confident, your business becomes more successful because … You're not afraid to approach more and better clients … You earn more because you feel comfortable charging what you know you're worth instead of what you think someone will pay you … And you often get better results for your clients since you no longer feel intimidated by expressing your ideas and opinions about what you believe will work.”
– Cindy Cyr,
Successful AWAI-Trained Copywriter
Nick went on to become a leading expert on the subject of writing for the Web.
And, in Nick’s program, Marketing Confidence: Learn to Love Marketing your Freelance Business and Land Higher-Paying Clients with Ease, he will show you exactly how to apply this secret to your specific situation, passions, and goals …
So you can build a successful business quickly and easily …
- You’ll wake up each morning excited to work for real clients and gain on-the-job experience and build a portfolio …
- You’ll feel your fear of talking to clients melt away so you can get all the high-paying projects you need and want …
- Plus, by sharing your message — instead of selling yourself — you’ll gain more confidence in your skills and writing ability …
- And, more confidence will allow you to increase your fees dramatically — in some cases by 1,000% (which I’ll tell you more about in a moment) …
But now you might be wondering …
Do You Need Confidence to Successfully Market Yourself?
And If So, Can Confidence Be Learned?
Yes and YES! And we’re going to teach you.
I’ve been in this industry for over 15 years now. And I personally know quite a few talented copywriters who still aren’t making anywhere near what they’re capable of earning.
Yet other — less talented — writers I know are making a fortune.
The reason? Confidence.
Confidence is what helps average freelancers make a fortune.
“Confidence is critical to your success as a writer. A higher level of confidence enables you to ask for more money on a project, go after more lucrative clients, and to continue improving as a writer no matter how good you get.”
– Sid Smith
Once you know how to be confident, you’ll understand the true value of your work. That confidence will spread to all areas of your business from your website to client interactions.
This story Nick shared with me illustrates it perfectly …
“In a fair world, every freelancer would be paid what they actually deserve. But, of course, it isn’t a fair world. So you have to do something to make sure you get paid at least what you truly deserve, and preferably more.
“As an example, I spoke with two different coaching clients a few weeks ago, both of whom had just picked up projects to create a monthly e-newsletter for a client. One was charging $200 per issue; the other was charging $2,000.
“Was the second guy 10 times better than the first? Not at all.
“The difference was that the second freelancer genuinely felt his work was worth $2,000. So that’s what he estimated, and that’s what he got.
“The value of your work has less than you think to do with its real value, and more to do with its perceived value. That perception resides both in your own mind and in your client’s mind.”
You might think it’s incredible that, because the $2,000 copywriter understood the value of his services, he was able to charge 10 times more …
But, consider this: Once you apply Nick’s secret, you’ll be able to do the same.
With Confidence In Your Message,
Everything Else Becomes Easier
"Nick — you are the man! Your persistent and patient probing uncovered a unique market niche in line with my passion and expertise and in dire need of good copywriters. Thanks for wielding the ‘big stick’ when my procrastination took over. And a million thanks for giving me the confidence to market myself successfully. You’re the greatest."
— Penny Thomas
“It was time for serious structure. For me, it meant finding a mentor or a coach, someone to hold me accountable for my plan. Looking back now, I know I made the right choice in Nick Usborne. He is just the kind of business coach who knows how to help you turn on the switches, process your fears, and move on with realizing your business goals."
— Rachel Agheyisi
"Nick Usborne is a superstar. As the best coach I have ever met, he blends all the right ingredients in just the correct doses to give you fast results. As a businessman, he is super smart, highly organized, and ultra-strategic. He renders the complicated simple, that magical quality that separates the good from the great. As a person, he is kind and courteous with an insatiable curiosity and sense of humor, which makes every session with him a great pleasure. Nick knows when to listen, when to cheerlead, when to direct, and when — ever so lightly — to cajole.
“Work with Nick. He will help you to transform your doubts into dreams and your most difficult challenges into lasting life-altering change. He will help you identify the potential in the marketplace and — more importantly — the potential in you. Anyone involved in the Internet today in any capacity should be beating a path to his door to take advantage of his wisdom."
— Susan Rice
Let me say up front that this program is not just a pep talk and a lot of: “Woo-woo! You can do it!”
That’s not what Marketing Confidence is at all.
Instead, you’ll learn exact and proven strategies to understand the value you provide as a freelancer.
Nick won’t simply tell you how to create a fake sense of confidence.
He’ll show you, step-by-step, how to get real and unshakable confidence that improves your entire business.
You’ll find it easy to:
- Overcome procrastination and take action to go after the clients you want — the ones who value what you do and are willing to pay top dollar for it.
- Use your message to make clients want to work with you (and only you) based on what you have to say — instead of your knowledge, experience, or samples.
- Stop worrying about your skills or what people will think and instead feel positive, secure, fearless, strong, and confident.
Even writing will be easier because of your confidence in your skills and the value you know you provide to your clients.
But wait! The “Big Brand Secret” is just part of the equation. You still have to know how to market yourself!
Being confident in your business and integrating marketing into your daily life is necessary to have a successful writing business. But you also have to know “how” to market yourself.
That’s why Nick will take you step-by-step through everything you need to know to effectively market and run your freelance business.
You’ll learn how to grow your business by:
- Understanding where you are right now so you can see the path to where you want to go. (This is important if you want to achieve your goal — whether it’s six-figures a year or a full-time income working just part-time hours.)
- Presenting yourself as a true expert. (The “Big Brand Secret” will eliminate all your fears about whether or not you feel like an expert so you can focus on your message.)
- Marketing your business in a way that feels comfortable for you — even if “you’re shy, extroverted, tall, short, green, purple, or anything in-between.”
- Taking advantage of Nick’s proven ways to easily attract plenty of clients who know they want to work with you. (Remember, Nick did this without any experience, clients, business card, website, logo, or samples.)
- Positioning yourself above your competition — even if they know more about freelancing than you. (Success isn’t just about your skills.)
- Effectively pricing your services to earn more, get paid what you’re worth, work more efficiently (so you can work fewer hours), and be more productive (so you’ll make a higher income).
- Creating and showing confidence in your value and the services you offer. Most freelancers don’t understand this and it leads to fees that are 10 times lower than what they should be.
Because Marketing Confidence is unique from other programs, Nick decided to present it differently …
Sit Across The Table From Nick Usborne
"When I was feeling barraged by ideas on what makes good online copywriting, Nick helped me identify the core skills to work on in order to perfect this craft and provided valuable feedback on my copy. And while I was looking mostly for technical coaching, Nick brought a larger perspective to my business that I know will prove useful for years to come."
— Sarah Clachar
"Nick Usborne has helped me really see my strengths and weaknesses in marketing my services. In a very short time, he has taken me to a new level. Nick pointed out some assets that I hadn't been fully exploiting. That gave me a lot more confidence. What a relief it is having someone to consult with who is focused on my success. It is such a blessing."
— Katherine Andes
"Just wanted you to know how happy I am with your mentoring method. You quickly helped me clarify my copywriting and career goals and suggested several very ‘doable’ ways to immediately begin reaching them. Actually, I thought we were going to only talk about copywriting, but we covered so much in our first meeting. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice so generously. I'm very glad I made the investment in your training."
— Dale Hansman
Nick has helped dozens of freelancers with his one-on-one coaching – including me (on two different occasions!). But, that kind of attention is expensive. He noticed there were a large number of people who wanted his help, but only some could pay.
To fix this problem, he went through all his notes from those coaching sessions looking for a solution.
He saw a lot of similarities. The same issues came up again and again. He found that he used the same stories and examples to get his points across.
He also noticed that his results were consistent — after coaching, his students were at a much higher level than where they started.
Nick took his advice, examples, stories, and everything else he learned while working one-on-one with students and turned it into 16-part video training series.
These 16 videos — which we’re calling “Virtual Coaching Sessions” — are different from the typical teaching mode of most programs. Instead, in these videos, Nick mirrors his one-on-one coaching sessions as much as possible.
The result is you’ll feel like you’re sitting across the table from Nick as he teaches you his techniques and shows you how to use them.
Throughout the process, you will gain confidence and grow your business. You’ll even get homework assignments just like his typical coaching students.
You’ll also learn:
- How and why employers have you use the “Big Brand Secret” for them. You probably did it many times “off the clock” and didn’t even realize you were doing it.
- How you can talk to a client about your business as easily as you talk to a friend about the movie you saw last weekend.
- How “real jobs” make you perform differently than freelancers (from the moment you walk in the door) and simple things you can do right now to instantly feel more professional and qualified — even if you’re writing at a small table in the corner of your kitchen.
- How to present the best possible version of yourself to the world, on your website, in your marketing materials, or in conversations. (This might sound scary, but remember, everything is easier once you have confidence.)
“Nick has an uncanny ability to listen to all the angles while still cutting through to the heart of the matter. I hired him as a writing coach, but his extensive knowledge of e-commerce, content site development, and affiliate marketing have been an unexpected but marvelous bonus. In terms of Return On Investment, Nick ‘paid for himself’ in the very first month. My online sales are booming, I just landed a lucrative writing contract, and have a renewed focus and energy that will continue to guide me for years to come. My only regret in hiring Nick is not finding him sooner!”
— Cari Haus
"Thank you for the coaching. I have spent thousands of dollars on programs over the past five years — many of them very, very good. However, they didn't give me the confirmation and direction that I received during the coaching you gave me! I really appreciate it. Even after the introductory call, I knew in my gut that this was finally the help I needed."
— Melissa AuClair
Wherever you are now, you’ll emerge
from this program at a much higher level.
We’re so sure that you’ll succeed with this program that, if for some reason you don’t, we’ll give 100% of your money back.
Marketing Confidence will also show you how to:
- Overcome personal issues of low self-confidence. Get past self-imposed constraints and bottlenecks. (This will help you with everything from raising your fees to finding clients.)
- Figure out where your true strengths and talents lie so you can use them to build a more successful business.
- Learn where your true drive and passion come from and build a business around what you enjoy the most. (Think how exciting it would be to get out of bed each morning if you were doing something you love.)
- Match your passion and expertise with the kind of work companies need done and are happy to pay for. (There’s no point in being good at something you love if nobody will pay you.)
- Go from seeing yourself as a freelancer — or servant to your clients — to seeing yourself as a professional, in-control businessperson.
- Learn why you’re holding back, feeling like you can’t do what needs to be done, or falling into constant learning. Then, eliminate these barriers permanently.
Copywriters — just like you — have used Nick’s secrets to take their businesses from “ho-hum” or brand-new to six-figures and beyond.
They also use his secrets to transform themselves from “timid freelancers” into confident and highly sought-after copywriters.
Now you can do the same.
Learn how to quickly overcome your fears and confidently grow your freelance business …
To a much higher level than you currently think is possible

“Nick provides an expert-level understanding of what it takes to succeed financially in the freelance world.” — Michael Blumfield
“Without Nick’s expert coaching, I’d still be frantically attempting to write copy for anyone — in any format. Without Nick pushing me to maintain my focus, I’d lose it after a week and look for the next thing to focus on.” — Dan Elman
“I now know, with startling clarity, where I’m taking my business and why. This brings me immense confidence and a sense of peace that I was missing before. My family and I thank you, Nick.” — Elizabeth Carter

P.S. Don’t Let Your Fear Stop You
If you know you want this program, but you’re second-guessing your ability to build a successful business (even with step-by-step guidance), think about this:
Freelancers unknowingly create limitations for themselves by …
- Fearing they’re not good enough
- Worrying they’ll be “found out”
- Believing their potential is much lower than it is.
“One of the common misconceptions about freelance writing is that once you develop a certain amount of skill, you'll have no problem getting clients. Writers don't get into slumps because they don't know how to write. They get stuck because they aren't confident enough in their skills. As a result, they don't market themselves the way they should.”
– Steve Roller
Nick calls this “the disease of freelancers everywhere” — or a lack of confidence.
When Nick started coaching freelancers, he realized many of them were very skilled, but they stopped taking action before they turned their knowledge and abilities into a successful business.
They let fear and their lack of confidence stop them from succeeding.
I don’t want that to happen to you.
Marketing Confidence will help you create real and unshakable confidence that improves your entire business.
And you’ll learn effective and proven ways to market your business and get new clients — no matter what your personality is like.
Give it a try today. We’ll be here to help and guide you. Plus, we guarantee your success.
The only thing you have to lose is your fear.
"I’m exceptionally glad I made the leap and decided to hire Nick as my business coach. It was what I needed to do to get really serious about my business.
“Not only did Nick help me to focus my niche and to work really smart to get my home page just right, but he did it with a great knack for keeping things pleasant, upbeat, and easygoing.
“I know I’ve made a big change in my outlook on my work — people have commented on it; I’ve gotten more clients. And I have Nick to thank for that."
— Jan Schochet
“Nick provides an expert-level understanding of what it takes to succeed financially in the freelance world. Even if you’re confident of your writing ability, you’re likely to gain key insights into best applying those skills by working with Nick. He very quickly helps you assess what areas to pursue, given your background and interests, and steers you away from paths that lead only to long hours and low wages.
“I knew Nick by reputation before I worked with him and knew he was one of the leaders of the field. I was delighted to learn from my sessions talking to him that he’s equally good at listening, encouraging and guiding a fellow writer. His enthusiasm for my new career path — along with some great ideas for getting the business on the Web in a matter of days — was gratifying and energizing. I’d recommend him to anyone trying to figure out what’s next.”
— Michael Blumfield
"Thanks so much for your time earlier today. The coaching session was just what I needed to clear my thoughts and organize my future steps with this project. You were very generous with your time and completely open with the information you provided. The suggestions you made were helpful and spurred ideas and additional questions I hadn't thought of before (but should have!). You've made the process I'm facing less cluttered and helped give me what I needed to take the next steps. It's priceless to have a trustworthy confidant to bounce ideas off of and glean experiences from."
— Karon Thackston
