"Get out of the hamster wheel", "Financial freedom", "A life on the most beautiful beaches in the world", ...
With such dreams lure certainly quite a lot of people on the Internet. So also Philipp Follmer, because he has probably heard my call last year :-)
Back to the beginning. I was somehow stuck in a life crisis. Actually a dream job, which is even fantastically remunerated. Yet trapped in my thoughts... was that all? Do you want to do this until you're 67 and then, with luck, enjoy a few more years of life with frail bones?
NO and again NO... so I started looking for possibilities to earn my living in a way that combines everything I love. Travel, sun, beach, freedom and spending time with wonderful people.
Just like Philipp, I looked at the various options from dropshipping to affiliate marketing.... none of them seemed sensible or conclusive to me. Somehow my phone must have overheard me (how could that happen :-)), because then one day this guy in a colorful Hawaiian shirt showed up on FB and told me something about copywriting and how you can make a good 10k a month with it in complete freedom. Ok, I thought... Another guy who wants to take my money out of my pocket.
Three months and 18,000 miles of travel later, I was sitting in the first meeting of the Freedom Writer Academy.
What had happened? Well, I was traveling in Thailand for three months and as the universe would have it, I ran into two copywriters on Koh Lanta and had a great conversation with them. As a result, I spent a few weeks on the subject and the decision was made.
GO FOR IT!!!
What can I say? Signing up for the Freedom Writer Academy was the best decision of my life. Even though I didn't really know what to expect at first. It was my gut that said, Fuckin' DO IT.
It's the whole concept behind it, which is so magical it's hard to put into words. The entire team - fantastic people with so much incredible know-how. The insane diversity of participants, the structure of the learning modules, videos and documents.
From the very beginning I felt welcome, taken care of and at home. I developed a mindset in the four months at the Academy that is second to none. I went through the transformation of my life.
This time has shaped me, formed me and made me the person I am today.
After seven weeks, the first orders started rolling in and I now have a considerable number of clients to inspire with my texts and I am very well paid for it.
If someone had told me 2 years ago that I earn my money with advertising copy, I would have given that person the bird. There was something slumbering in me that absolutely wanted to be taken out into the wide world.
And the FWA made this possible.
I would like to thank the entire FWA team so much and from the bottom of my heart for making this path possible for me, for accompanying and supporting me. You have created something great with this Academy.
Not to mention my copy buddies. I was able to meet such wonderful colleagues. We formed a small buddy group, still have very regular contact and feedback each other's copy to deliver the most awesome results to our clients.
We've even met privately and held a history-making copywriting summit in the middle of Germany :-)
I could go on for hours, but that would go beyond the scope of this article...
Just thanks to the whole team. Thank you for you as people, your Freedom Writer Academy and for paving this way for me.
