Yesterday, I started promoting 1-Person Advertorial Agency, which I claim is the hottest opportunity for copywriters in 2026.
Today, I made some sales. I also got some questions. Here’s a layup:
===
My furry little mittens are intrigued, enough to make me interested in creating a lucrative side hustle so I don’t have to rely on overtime from work to pad my pay packet. I am not working in the business or copywriting space but if this works for beginners then I think it would work for me. My question though, is do you think this would get saturated given places aren’t capped?
===
“Will it get saturated” is a natural question to ask with any “hot” business opportunity, even a niche one like this.
The glib answer is to do some back of napkin math:
There are an estimated 280 million ecommerce businesses worldwide. Even if only 1% are a good fit for this (it’s likely more), and if a staggering 1,000 people end up buying and applying this program (probably way less), there will still be 280 clients to go around for everybody who gets in on this opportunity.
That’s all probably true and even an underestimate. But who was ever persuaded by numbers? For sure not me.
So lemme tell you a better way to look at this situation, meaning my way to look at this situation.
The real opportunity here is not to get dozens or hundreds of clients, and to keep hunting after more and more clients.
The real opportunity here is that advertorials that increase front-end conversions are a way to get your foot in the door with two or three really good long-term partners, who are able and willing to pay you hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars over the long-term.
I speak to this from experience. Five+ years ago, I was actually writing lotsa advertorials for ecommerce clients.
The results were just like the sales page for 1-Person Advertorial Agency claims:
Dramatic boosts in conversion rates and ability to scale on cold traffic. A lot of demand.
All in all, it was fine work, and well paid, even though it took me 4-5 days to do what can now be done in 45 minutes.
But even at the nice rate I was getting paid per advertorial, the vast majority of the money I made with those clients, and in fact the vast majority of the money I’ve ever made from copywriting — I’m guessing over 90% — came via commission-only emails I wrote to the buyers’ lists of those clients.
You don’t have to write emails if you don’t want to.
My point is simply, once again, to get yourself into a place where “saturation” becomes completely irrelevant to you, because you have formed a tight and codependent bond with a few clients. Once you’re making them and yourself a lot of money, you really don’t care what everybody else might be doing because your clients/partners would never think to go somewhere else.
To help you get there, I have decided to add in a few bonuses to the already overflowing cup of value that’s included inside 1-Person Advertorial Agency. Specifically:
#1. 26 Rules of Client Management for Copywriters, taken from my Copy Zone guide to the business side of copywriting.
Inside Copy Zone, I put the section on Client Management before Client Acquisition. As I explain in there:
“It might seem like we’re jumping ahead. But in my copywriting career so far, the biggest mistakes I’ve made and the biggest opportunities I’ve squandered were not due to being ignorant of some secret technique for client acquisition. Instead, they were due to choosing the wrong clients.”
#2. Most Valuable Postcard #1: Nota Rapida, which digs into the topic of building long-term relationships with copywriting clients much more deeply.
#3. Ghostbuster, Nick Bandy’s 5-stage sequence for reactivating (reanimating?) dead clients or prospective clients. As Nick says on the sales page for Ghostbuster:
===
I’ve been ghosted after:
* The client replies
* I reveal my rates
* The client sends a job offer
* The client funds the first milestone
* And even AFTER getting paid and receiving a review from the client!
And it really doesn’t matter how good of a salesperson you are, or how amazing your first message was. People. Just. Ghost. It happens to everybody. But it doesn’t have to KEEP happening.
===
… and while Ghostbuster can certainly help you turn interested but ghosty prospects into actual clients, it’s even more valuable in that last case, where you’ve already done some work for a client, it went great, and then they ghost you for reasons of their own (it happens).
That’s all if you get 1-Person Advertorial Agency.
Like I said, there’s a sales page for that offer, but rather than send you there, I’ll send you to an email-style advertorial, a piece of sales copy masquerading as content, which I wrote about this offer yesterday, and which will allow you to get a good idea if this offer is for you or not:
