The steps

  1. Choose one thing to write: landing pages, emails or ads.
  2. Rewrite three real pages or emails to show how you would do it, and put them on one page.
  3. Set a price per project, not per hour.
  4. Contact 10 small companies a day with one specific line you would change.
  5. Ask for results after each project, so your next pitch has numbers that are real.
  6. Keep a file of every line that worked.
