This 38-Word DM Landed Him a $500 Gig

Danny Postma tweeted a couple of weeks back…

👋 Looking to hire an email copywriter to write a cart abandonment email sequence for HeadshotPro.

Deliverables:
• email copy + when to send (X minutes after abandonment)

Requirements:
• 100% async, I don’t want to hop on a call
• proof of work + references I can check

Send me the price + requirements via DM 🙏

He then shared a screenshot of a DM he received…

Hi Danny. Will write you a 5-email abandoned cart sequence for $500. Email copy only. No design. Delivery in 48 hours. No need to get on a call. Your online content – website, social etc – has everything we need.

That DM was from Nabeel Azeez.

Nabeel’s Twitter bio and pinned tweet go a long way to establishing him as a pro copywriter 😎

No wonder Danny paid him $500 within 5 minutes of seeing that DM.

Danny tweeted a few days later…

Just got back my emails from@NabeelAzeezDXB.

Absolutely blown away by them 🤯

Learned so much from them. Every email basically takes away a potential objection a customer could have.

Overdelivered 11 emails instead of 5.

A couple of takeaways 👇

• A short DM will only land you a $500 gig if you’ve done the work beforehand to build up your portfolio and expertise.
  
• It’s always good to overdeliver, but it’s especially good when your client has a big audience.
