If you engage in this profession (either as a provider or receiver) you can expect to get called names like:
“Loser”
“Slimy”
“Dirty”
“Primary reason for all of society’s problems”
And a whole host of other uninformed, delusional, and idiotic phrases/names/insults.
However, (and perhaps this is the real reason WHY this profession is hated) if you happen to be good at it…
You make a TON of money.
And no, we’re not talking about THAT profession. That’s the second oldest.
The oldest and most hated profession in the world is:
The salesman.
Think about this:
In the United States of America it is socially acceptable to share gossip, slander, and viral celebrity sex tapes. People will love you for it. They will pander to you, call themselves your fan, and even name their children after you.
But the second you open your mouth to share a product or service that could potentially change the life of that person who receives that message and/or service…
You are labeled a “crook”.
And this is bad.
This is bad for business people who are trying to put food on the table for their kids.
It’s bad for the economy because sales is the lifeblood of any modern economy.
And it’s bad for anyone with an idea or dream that wants it to grow into something more than just a figment of their imagination.
Never be too ashamed to sell.
The stigma surrounding selling is a social construct. It isn’t real. It isn’t reality.
The reality is that when you sell your goods or services, your products and ideas, you grow the economy. You put food on your own table. You put food on the tables of others. You advanced technology. You inject money into the taxation system (you can decide whether that’s a good thing or not). You make people’s lives better.
If what you offer is good and true then you should be PROUD to sell it. You should be so proud that you just can’t help but open your mouth and share what you have with those who need it.
There is nothing more charitable than offering your solution to someone with that exact problem.
Still think selling is hard?
Watch this:
I know that it might be hard for you to sell your product or service. There is something funny that happens in the brain when we try to sell our own stuff. I get that.
I also know that if you’re reading this email you’re probably at a stage in your business where you can’t invest $5000 on a part of your business that generates less than 20% of the results:
The sales copy.
That’s why, I put together and launched FreelanceCopywriterMike.com this last February.
Since then, over 400 people just like you have overcome their fear of selling by hiring me to sell their products and services for them.
I just want to share with you this opportunity because I truly think I can help you. And you won’t have to shell out $5,000 either.
It’s an opportunity for me to make a little money to put food on the table for my family and it’s an opportunity for you to get your sales copy written by someone who LOVES to sell.
All you have to do is contact me by going to this page: FreelanceCopywriterMike.com and choose your method of contact.
That’s it.
I’ll do the rest.

And that’s it my friend.
That’s all it takes.
I know for a fact, at least three people are going to contact me within the next 24 hours as a result of this email.
Does that mean I’m a genius?
Probably not.
But it does mean that opening your mouth gets you results.
It means that not being ashamed of what you’re selling is the key to selling.
It means that you can do it to.
It means that I can help you do it.
To your success,
Mike
