How do you think I made millions of dollars writing copy?
NOT by writing millions of ads.
I made the BIG BUCKS by:
Owning the copy, and
Licensing it
to my clients.
As a result, I got paid royalties and commission on every email, direct mail package, and video sales letter I wrote.
In other words, I worked once and get paid over and over again.
This is how
I received big payouts like these EVERY 90 DAYS.
All thanks to my "Work Once and Get Paid Over and Over Again" business philosophy
I used to call it The D'Anna Double Dip.
That's because I would get paid a FEE for writing the project (Dip no. 1) and royalties (or a commission) on every piece that
got mailed or emailed (Dip no. 2.)
CHA-CHING!
Together, those fees and royalties added up to millions and millions of dollars.
If you are not getting paid for performance, you are missing out on FREE
money that could easily be yours.
If you'll give me five minutes, I'll explain ....
How You Can Work Once and Get Paid Over and Over Again Too!
And it's so easy...
YOU JUST GET YOURSELF A
GREAT CONTRACT!
One that spells out:
When you get paid,
How much you get paid,
The percentage of royalties you get paid, plus
Penalties for nonpayment along with the state and county with which all legal disputes are settled.
What's more, my contract even spelled out royalties in the event of my death--because I owned the copy and I licensed it to them.
That is how you really make money as a copywriter, by owning the copy, just like a songwriter does.
And just like a songwriting contract, my contract even included responsibilities for the client to keep records AND gave me the right to audit their records too.
It also included a provision to keep them from hiring another copywriter to “knock off” my work. It happened once and I swore it
would never happen again. I was never going to be treated like a chump again!
So that was in my contract too along with indemnifying me against any claim against the client because of anything I had written.
That's how you work once and get paid over and over again--with a real contract that spells out everything!
From 2002 to 2015 I spent over $10,000 with attorneys honing my contract. And there were only two times I had to enforce payment provisions.
Neither of which, thankfully, had to come to any legal
action. The contract simply reminded them of what they had agreed to.
This is why I continue to receive royalty payments for work I created over a decade ago.
If your clients are making millions of dollars from your copy, you should be getting paid too!
That's
why YOU MUST add a royalty or commission rider to your contract.
Otherwise you may find your self working for some kind of corporate overlord for chump change when you could be living the life...
Here's How I Can Help You
If you're looking for a SAMPLE CONTRACT to work from, I invite you to grab a copy of mine.
As I mentioned, it cost me over $10,000 to
create a contract to not only make sure I was paid but to also indemnify me from an unforeseen lawsuit. A few colleagues have offered me as much as $1,000 for a copy.
But that would go against my goal of helping as many copywriters as I can
get to the level that I enjoy today.
That’s why I have decided to give them away to my A-list members for just $99 --a $100 savings off the regular price.
Why so little?
To thank you for the loyalty you have shown me over the years and,
To give up-and-coming copywriters the opportunity to get the kind of protection of their work that I enjoyed at the lowest possible cost.
When you understand that your attorney will probably charge you $150 to $500 an hour
to modify this contract for your purposes, you'll thank me 1000 times knowing you've given them a sample to work from.
So is it a deal?
I hope so!
Because getting paid royalties was one of the most profitable business decisions I ever made. I'm hoping it
will be for you too.
But you'll need to act quickly.
This sales ends at midnight Monday and with it the opportunity to save $100 on my sample contract.
So if you're serious about working once and getting paid over
and over, then I would grab a copy of my sample contract today at my special low Price.
