Yesterday I talked to my friend Will, who recently started writing a newsletter for a prediction market.
Prediction market?
You know… go online, and stake a little bit of money on the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, or the chance of war between Israel and Iran.
If your prediction comes true, you get paid, just like if you had bet on red and that’s how the roulette table ended up.
Will and I were spitballing content ideas for the newsletter. I told him to interview the “super forecasters,” the guys making the most right bets on the marketplace.
Turns out Will had already done that. He said that one of the top guys on the platform was making $70k per month forecasting the future.
So here’s my own forecast:
We will see a successful business opportunity offer in the next 6 months, featuring a “super forecaster” as a guru, telling you how to collect up to $2,333 each day, from the comfort of your own couch, by watching CNN and Fox News.
I realize I am perhaps influencing the future, and helping make it happen, by giving away this idea and sending it out to thousands of readers of this newsletter, many of who are marketers and offer owners.
But I really do think this has a unique shot to be successful.
Many business opportunities out there are clouded by the fundamental unfamiliarity of the core thing.
Commodities trading? VR content creation? Direct response copywriting?
“I don’t know… maybe it’s legit and maybe there’s even good money to be made there, but it sounds complicated. I don’t really get it.”
Compare that to real estate… or vending machines… or yelling at the TV.
Everybody can understand that. That’s why real estate and vending machines are bizops that have been around for a century or longer… and that’s why I think that future forecasting has legs as well.
Perhaps you’re wondering why I’m giving this idea away instead of running after it myself, since I think it’s so hot. It’s a fair question. My answer is long and distinguished, so I’ll save it for another email.
Meanwhile, if you are reading this newsletter, I can only assume you have already been pre-sold on the business opportunity that is copywriting, or at least on owning fundamental copywriting skills, whether you use them for your own business or for a client.
And so I have a little bizop brochure I’d like to show you. Here’s the top of the brochure, a quote by A-list copywriter Parris Lampropoulos, who only works on 2-3 projects each year, but still makes millions:
“So do what Gary says. You [will possess one of the greatest skills you can have as a copywriter]. And you’ll make lots of money.”
If you want to read the rest of this brochure, and understand what Parris is saying will make you lots of money, here’s where to go:
