Dear Friend,
Thank you for reading Zeitgeist:)
Although I still haven’t gotten hired, I’m happy to tell you Craig Clemens, the cofounder of Golden Hippo and “one of the greatest living copywriters,” read (and liked) last weeks post:
If you were a part of the effort, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
I am grateful for everyone who helped make sure Craig saw the Letter. It was incredible to get support from internet friends from all over the world (USA, Holland, England, India, etc.).
Here’s Craig’s Response: (and my big mistake)
So yeah, Craig liked the letter but I made a big mistake.
I forgot to do the most obvious thing: Tell Craig what I wanted from him.
I ASSUMED he knew I wanted him to hire me.
But that's a big ask.
Maybe I could have asked for a 15 minute phone call or his best copywriting resources.
Anyways, I have a LinkedIn post about this story in the pipeline which will hopefully get his attention again.
Your Reward
For your support last week, I’d like to share with you my personal notes on $100M offers (This is the exact playbook I’m using to build my LinkedIn ghostwriting offer.)
I’ve summarized about 75 percent of the content, but you can see all the videos for free from that link.
P.S. Here is my favorite Tweet of the Week:
Things didn't turn out like we thought.
But don't lose hope.
Still, I believe there is a great lesson learned here: What’s obvious to you while you're writing something might be unclear to others while they're reading the same.
