Congratulations!

I'm sure there is a market for companies who would rather pay to have it written for them -- I know I'd certainly be interested. Any thoughts on launching a startup that does copywriting for companies/people? Perhaps charge by the word or page?

I second that. I'm lucky you do all my copywriting for free, but I would have been happy to pay hundreds of dollars for your time.

Joanna, you really are a pro. Your generosity and your talent shine through. I have no doubt this will be huge success. Just bought the bundle. What a deal!

Bought it as well. I couldn't find the "coupon" textbox though.. but nevermind, $33 is still a good deal!

Oh, no! Please contact me at joanna AT copyhackers.com and we'll get that discount sorted out for you!!!

In case this is a problem for anyone else, the coupon code box is on the first page of the cart/checkout, on the left side of the screen, just below the product thumbnail.

There are copywriting agencies, definitely. Some good ones exist, and I do consult. But it seems to me that startups - those who are bootstrapping, at least - don't often have that much to spend. And it's hard to tell a good copywriter from a great, high-converting writer. But very good food for thought, thematt! Merci!!!
