The other day I tweeted this post:

​

​

The caption says “Copywriters only want four things… Do you agree?”

The pictures are:

*A private beach house with plenty of sun

*A luxury library with thousands of books

*Streaming hot espresso

*An empty calendar =)

​

IT IS HARD TO DISAGREE WITH THIS! HAHA.

​

Except for on twitter 🤣

Here are some of the comments I got back (with my commentary)…

​

“accurate… add 'no client calls' and it’s basically nirvana”

(That’s the empty calendar.. two steps ahead of you! Haha)

​

“There should be a picture of money”

(Brotha… how did we buy the beach house, library and empty calendar? With hopes & dreams!?)

​

“I’d have to add this… family love.”

(NO! YOU SHOULD LIVE ALONE AND BE MISERABLE IN YOUR BEACH HOUSE & LIBRARY SIPPING YOUR MISERABLE ESPRESSO WITH YOUR EMPTY CALENDAR BY YOURSELF!! …. Sure bro… add family love 😄)

​

“Almost. Halle Berry?”

(Sounds like a recipe to ruin all that family love if you invite Halle Berry into this picture LOL)

​

“Almost but the coffee. I don’t like coffee.”

(Genuinely curious. Are you okay? I’m worried about you.)

​

“City guy, personally.”

(By all means move the beach house to Madison Avenue with Donny Draper… I won’t stop ya!)

​

But I saved the best for last…

Cause this one got me 🤣

I couldn’t tell if he was trolling or dead serious...

But I’m pretty sure he’s dead serious!

This guy comments:

“Add client reviews to it 😄”

​

​

BROTHA CLIENT REVIEWS IS THE LAST THING I WOULD ADD TO THIS LIST!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

​

This one had me rollin’ in all the ways!

When I first read it, I thought he meant like clients reviewing your copy.

(Which is literal hell!!!)

People pay you thousands of dollars to do work they don’t know how to do...

Then review your copy to death until it smells, tastes & feels like the terrible stuff they had in the first place.

Lord, take me now if that’s in my Utopia Copywriters Post!

​

But then I realized…

​

He must mean like Upwork reviews!?

Getting 5 stars on his copy???

It took me a minute to get there because I had not thought of “client reviews” in so long.

To me, if I’m doing client work, I’m looking for case studies or testimonials.

I’ve never done Upwork.

(Not that its bad, in fact I know a few guys making a killing on there)

It’s just not where my mind went.

​

But even so…

​

I’m not putting that in my Utopia Copy World either!! Haha.

If I have anything to say about this Utopia it’s that El Copy Goat is writing for Solo Me.

El Capi’ Tan!

I write, edit, ship on my time & dime baby!

My own list.

My own products.

My own community.

My own calendar.

If you like the sound of that, you’d love my course WritePublishChill.com =)

Where I teach you to build your own personal brand using copywriting.

More cookin’ on this idea.

I got something big brewing for you.

Stay tuned.

Your copywriting friend,
