But I did not have a website to promote my services. So the question was, ?How do I get copywriting clients without spending money?? So, I wrote an email and sent it to about 20 Internet ?big hitters?.

That email earned me over $45,000 in about one year. The reason it cost nothing is because I sent it from the library. And so, I proved Dan Kennedy's words true, that you could, in fact, make money without spending money

However, I don't recommend you do what I did. Because sending unsolicited email is not a good idea. Of course, I did have one advantage. I was contacting people who were interested in copywriting so they were not going to report me to the ?Internet SS?. One of the ?big hitters? I contacted ? who I owe a great debt of gratitude ? is ?Mr. Fire? himself, Joe Vitale.
