World of Financial Copywriting Training Program Information

The fastest shortcut to making six-figures with royalties as a financial copywriter. From the guy who went from being a fired pastor and dead-broke freelancer with two kids…

My wife choked back tears as her voice shook with fear.

I couldn’t believe it happened again

I sat in the parking lot of my now former employer…

While I called my wife to tell her I was coming home early because I had been fired AGAIN.

This was the third job I had been fired from in six years.

It was Friday, June 1st, 2018. And it was the worst day of my life.

Yet, in hindsight, I can now see how it was also one of the best days of my life.

Because while I didn’t know it then, this day would set me on the path to…

Do what I love and make more money

than I could ever imagine

You see, not only had I been fired on that fateful day…

But I had been fired at the worst possible time.

Because my father had passed away just a few months before, leaving my wife and I to scramble to pay for his funeral.

And we had virtually nothing left in our savings account.

Only $289.

Which for our family of three, with a second baby on the way, wasn’t much.

We needed to buy groceries, pay the utility bills, cell phone, and car payments…

Plus, the $861 mortgage was due at the end of the month.

And I had more than $100,000 hanging over my head in student loan debt.

Life had hit us pretty hard. Things were brutal.

The proverbial wolf was at the door.

I needed a consistent way to make money, and make money fast

I knew freelance copywriting could get me there…

But I didn’t have a plan for putting my talent to use.

That’s about the time I met Kevin Rogers and heard about Copy Chief.

Kevin gave me some quick, practical tips for getting clients, which helped A LOT.

He showed me how to use my interests and experiences from before I began freelancing, to jumpstart my copywriting career.

And he taught me how to position myself as the prize when talking to business owners about how I could help their marketing.

Things were starting to get better, but I knew all the big money was made in financial.

That’s when I learned a secret from Mark Ford, one of the co-founders of Agora, that I’ll share with you in a moment.

But this secret gave me an easy way to get my foot in the door with financial copywriting and allowed me to…

Get HIRED and Get PAID

And within THREE months of being fired from my last job, I landed my first gig with a major financial publisher.

Fast forward to today, and I’m a copy chief with Banyan Hill, an Agora company.

I’ve written for financial experts who are former billion-dollar hedge fund managers on Wall Street… multimillion-dollar stock traders… and Bitcoin millionaires.

And I’ve worked with and learned from some of…

The best financial copywriters and publishers the industry has ever produced

Including…

• Aaron DeHoog, CEO and Executive Publisher of Banyan Hill
• ​Mike Ward, Founder of Money Map Press
• ​Porter Stansberry, Founder of Stansberry Research and Porter & Co.

As well as legendary copy chiefs, like…

I’ve even had several of my promotions personally reviewed by Bill Bonner and Mark Ford.

Along the way, I’ve written promos that have sold more than $15 million over the last 3 years.

• Including two of the best-selling backend promos at Banyan Hill in 2022…
• ​One of the best-selling frontend promos at Money Map Press in 2021…

Now, I’m showing aspiring financial copywriters like you, how they too can….
