Alex In My Inbox is a weekly copywriting series where I share interesting, actionable, and hilarious copywriting tips from "Alex". Alex is an anonymous copywriter who shares these tips with me so I can share them with you.   Today, Alex has an email for us about a mindset you should utilize while building your freelance copywriting business.  This is a great way to look at it. I think you’ll like it.  Check it out.   But first...   LinkedIn is the best social media platform for B2B companies.  I'm talking agencies, SaaS companies, consultants, and even course sellers.  Every single one of you needs to be taking LinkedIn seriously right now. I genuinely believe the opportunity on LinkedIn over the next 24 months is MASSIVE.  And those who take it seriously today, are the ones who are going to win over the next 5-10 years.  I've been focusing 90% of my attention on LinkedIn and 10% everywhere else.  Over the last 24 months, I've acquired over 1 million LinkedIn followers across my account, my wife's account, and the business pages I own. And collectively, I've driven ~250 million impressions on LinkedIn in that timeframe. This is just for the accounts I own (it doesn't include the 100+ million impressions we've helped our clients get).  LinkedIn is driving millions of dollars in revenue for my businesses.  And I'm currently helping 263 founders, executives, and marketers grow their own LinkedIn followings.  I run the best [LinkedIn Growth Service + Community]( on the planet.  Join us and become one of the greats!  ---     Now let's dive into today's edition 👇     Dear Chase, I like to picture the online money world like a high school cafeteria. I usually sit with the copywriters/agency owners. Those are my people. We have the most in common. But sometimes the agency owners get a bit annoying. All they talk about is cold email. And the copywriters get antsy whenever you go too long without mentioning David Ogilvy. That’s my cue to pick up my lunch tray and go sit with another group of online entrepreneurs. I’ll sit with the e-com guys, I guess. But I try and avoid them. They’re tweakers. And I only sit at the TikTok Shop table if I wanna be surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women. I like sitting with the day traders. I learn the most from them. These guys, too, are psycho. But they’re smart. I like them particularly for this one mindset that they have around trading. All of the high-level guys think like this, and it helps me a lot while building my copywriting biz. These guys are typically emotionless. They make $30k in a day. They’re happy, but they don’t really care. They lose $50k in a day. It happens. Try again tomorrow. Either way they trend, they’re cool. It’s a situation called “outcome independence”. It means that it doesn’t really matter if they lose money or make money, as long as they stuck to perfect strategy. They have trained their mind to not be affected by big swings, whether it’s up or down. I tell my students to take this mindset in their business too. As an actual writer, you need to be emotional. You need to channel your own emotions as well as your audience’s emotions to be able to write copy that converts. But when you’re in “builder mode”, aka trying to get clients… The less emotion you have, the better. It’s very difficult for you to switch that mindset on and off. I understand that if you spend 50% of your day pouring your heart into a Google Doc for a client, it’s not easy to be cold and calculated when doing outreach. But the REASON you need to be emotionless throughout this process is as follows: You will 1000% get rejected by your prospects. You will get turned down. You will get yelled at. You will get ghosted. That’ll happen 200 times before you get a W. That is the NAME OF THE GAME. When you get too emotional about the outreach process, you lose hope, you get discouraged, and you let yourself get beaten down until you give up and never land a client. You can’t operate that way. You need to be like a day trader. It’s the way I operate for the non-creative roles in my business. And that’s why I’ve made millions. Understand?
