Q1. Where are you from?
Born in Mexico. Now live in Houston, Tx!
Q2. How did you discover copywriting?
In 2019 I got my first sales job right out of high-school… first job ever actually. My job was selling broadband (WiFi) to random people at grocery stores.I had never sold anything before then. I was so bad at it that I was the first person there to go a full month without any sales. After 4 weeks I had nothing but a list of phone numbers from people that were too nice to flat out reject me. So I sent out a few text messages and got my first few sales from typing words on my phone ???? That’s where it all started for me.A few years later I quit that job to write copy full time.????
Q3. What forms of copy do you write?
Email, mostly.
Q4. What are your favorite niches to write in?
I really enjoy working with course creators who bring REAL value to the marketplace. Also have had success working with local service-based businesses.
Q5. What is the #1 lesson you've learned as a copywriter?
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax” … That saying by Abraham Lincoln summs it all up. Typically, the more you understand your product & market. The easier writing gets.
Q6. Who is your favorite copywriter & why?
I’ve learned a ton from Ian Stanley and Perry Belcher.
Q7. Do you have any recent wins to share?
I’ll be speaking at my first event ever this summer! (2023). It’ll be a smaller room, maybe 15-20 local business owners. Super excited to share my knowledge on email marketing and copywriting!
Q8. What would you say to a prospective client who wants to hire you?
I’d say let’s hop on a call and see if we’re a good fit!
Q9. What is a good email address for prospective clients to contact you?
